Thanks In advance for any replies. Going to keep it short because the really long message I just typed got* *wiped.
Together 16 years 2 children age under 5. Have just gotten him to be agreeable to a civil partnership given big difference in our earnings as he is the main earner and I’m part time so I understand this is the sensible thing to do.
Thing is I’m not overly happy in the relationship due to-
anger issues of his which despite his getting counselling has not fully resolved
(swearing around us raising voice still, historically throwing things, punching wall)
0 sex life as we are at an impasse as I dont want to take contraception and he’s not progressing with vasectomy though amount of sex was v limited before anyway.
can be really inconsiderate such as being asked for an important item for baby dd and returning from the shop without it but something frivolous for him as one example. Occasional oversight of things like nappy change genuinely doesn’t seem to have noticed a poo nappy before I do for instance much of the time.
On the other side he makes me laugh, a fun dad and pulls his weight around the house. Appreciate such things can be undone by the anger aspects though if continuing.
With this background would it be a bad idea to go ahead with a civil partnership or is it all the more reason to do so to ensure we are protected?
