Another weekend where I was de facto a single mum to our 10-months old...my husband left Saturday and Sunday at 5.30am to go to the gym, then for breakfast, then work 9-5 and then pub. Comes home between 9-10pm, straight in the shower and then falls asleep.
The icing of the cake is that he insists on a 50/50 split on bills and on top of that I have to pay for everything for the baby. He used to 'gracefully' give me the weekends to earn money while he looked after our baby, but that has ended now as well and I need to use up my savings.
Him being out all day makes my life easier because at least I can enjoy a peaceful time with our baby. I'm currently exploring ways how to leave him safely, it's not easy, all my family is abroad while he has family support here and he is from a culture where women don't just leave. After I got pregnant he said something to the effect that I wouldn't be able to leave and he can have a temper, so I'm wary and I tell myself better safe than sorry.
