Not sure if I am being unreasonable or not and I am interested to get your thoughts. I have been married to my husband for 2 years and we live with my 2 kids from my first marriage, one does not get on with my husband which causes me great amounts of anxiety, however I am becoming increasingly more and more annoyed, frustrated not really sure what as my husband does not help around the house at all. He makes supper for me and him every night not the kids as my oldest gets his own and my youngest never wants to eat what we are having. I do all the washing, cleaning, emptying bins etc all household chores otherwise nothing would get done, every time I ask him to help he just replies get your kids to do it. He won’t even come to collect the weekly grocery shopping with me. It is really beginning to irritate me to point that I find myself not talking to him at all which I know is not the way to deal with it.
Most evenings my husband will consume multiple beers and at times nips, I told him that this is not on especially during the week when we are both working the next day, now at weekends he will drink a whole case of beer and sometimes half a bottle of vodka as he says he is relaxing after a hard week. I am not really a drinker so I find this really hard to deal with. I am now at the point of questioning what to do cos I don’t want to feel like this any longer.
i have to add he was not like this when we met and he got on with both my children however had a go at the oldest and his friends one night when he was drunk a few years ago which is why they no longer speak.
