“Do you know how much happier I would be if I was single”
Just a few of the choice words my husband said to me this morning before going to work. I’m 7 months pregnant and taking care of our 10 month old and 8 year old. I’m lost. I’m sad. I’m lonely and I’m seriously about to lose it. I’m exhausted. and I feel completely worthless.
“If I wanted someone to just watch the kids I would hire a daycare service”

Don’t give up on yourself. Please don’t let him talk down to you like your nothing. If I was in that situation I’d grant his wish and leave with the kids leaving nothing but a note Now you can be happy single. He sounds emotionally abusive. Get out asap. This will not be healthy on you nor the kids. Do you want your kids to treat others the way he does you? They see this & will do what’s modeled in front of them.

I know it’s always easier for someone on the outside to say… But please, your kids are hearing and seeing how he treats you. You don’t want your girl to think this is how women should be treated, and you wouldn’t want your boy to think this is how he should treat his wife. Or anyone in between. If you can’t be strong for yourself, be strong for your children. This isn’t ok, even if he’s just in a bad mood and apologizes later. This is never, ever ok. Words do more damage than so many people realize. Damage that cannot begin to be repaired until you’re out of the situation. Good luck, and know that even though I don’t know you, I know your worth is more than what he shows you.

People will only do what is allowed and tolerated. The more he does it, the worse you feel. So, it is being allowed. It is time to show him you will not allow his behavior by leaving. Sounds like he needs some counseling.

Honey you deserve better. Don’t let yourself be treated this way. If he wants single and can put it to you like that then honey he answered your question.
“Well maybe you should hire a daycare, then I can go get a job and leave your ass, single sounds nice!” Tell him something back girl, fight fire with fire and don’t let him trample your emotions. Men don’t know what hit them when they play in the kitchen. I’d say pet him and tell him to play nice but you can only take some much before you have to shut them up with their own words. The best thing you can do for yourself especially pregnant is take care of your mental health. Don’t over think things and find a hobby, don’t do more than you have to with the house and keep focused on the kids like you were single. The transition to “idgf…what he says” will begin to show up in your heart 
eventually and you can start planning your escape slowly. Or not…and seek counseling to save the marriage.
And men wonder why we snap
I could tell you a million times to leave, but you won’t until your ready, so ask yourself if the verbal abuse is worth it. For the next week, do absolutely nothing except play with your babies. Let him see what doesn’t get done around the house while you’re the hired daycare.

Man’s perspective here but one man’s “trash” is another man’s treasure. What I mean by that is you can find someone who will treat you right, value you and your children. If this is how he acts then you should leave and he can be lonely, alone, and by himself. No woman should treat a man like that and vice versa. Good luck in your situation and I hope you make some changes in the New Year.
I don’t understand why he doesn’t want the Mother of his children to watch his children. Give him his happiness. Get a lawyer.
Lawyers have to do a certain amount of “pro Bono” a year. You may be that case. Consults are free. If your pregnant and a stay home Mom you would get full custody. Do it. There are jobs you can do at home.
No man that loves you would ever insult you.
He would want to treat you like a Queen.
Sorry your troubled.
He wants you to feel like that so he can have the upper hand. Let him know when he comes home how happy you are. God says love your enemy.
Thank him when he gets home for giving you those beautiful babies. It’s the best of him you’re going to get. If he gets mad, then you’ll know. As long as your feeling bad ,he’s happy. Sorry dear. God bless.

I would have trouble not pointing out that he’d be causing alot less headaches if all he was needed for was signing the child support checks. I mean, if he’s willing to pay someone else, he can just start paying you instead. I bet YOU’D be happier if he was single too.

I lived this life for 10yrs. You won’t leave until your ready, my guy took me down to nothing, when I looked into a mirror, all I seen was nothing, I was miserable, sad, lonely, angry, bitter and preferred to just close myself off to everyone & quit doing my photography & hiking. I started listening to this country song called I wish you were a better man & blue aien’t your color, those 2 songs along with lauren daigles song enough made me open my eyes to who I was and just what I deserved, it wasn’t easy to walk away from him, it hurt like hell, but let me tell you this, with friends & family on my side, I began to find myself again and enjoy my life. It’s been 4 yrs and I don’t love nor miss him anymore, I’m in a much better place. Listen to those 3 songs and I promise you, that it will awaken the you that has been beat down to nothing. I will post the 3 songs for you. Please know you are enough & you deserve so much better.

I would leave with the kids and spend the holidays with my family, you don’t need that abuse being pregnant and taking care of your other children. Hopefully that will be the wake up call he needs. If anything it will give you the time to think things through.

He’s feeling neglected and hurt that your only priority is the kids. It’s childish and there shouldn’t be any competition between him and his own children, especially with you being pregnant. But emotionally he doesn’t sound very mature. When things are calm and the kids are in bed, ask him what it is that he needs from you and listen. Don’t talk.
If he complains about what you are doing wrong, say no. I asked you what you need/want from me. If he opens up and tells you, hopefully he will. Then you need to calmly and gently talk about what you need from him to help you, so that you can accomplish those things because your goal is to be in a happy marriage working together for that. If he hears you and is willing to do those things then it’s a good sign. If he argues like a child that refuses to do anything on his end then you might need to reconsider what you want.

Honestly its kinda petty. On both parts. 1 he sounds like hed rather be single than deal with all of y’all. 2 theres gotta be more to it than your saying. 3 what are all the facts cause theres always something that leads up to the man saying things like that. 4 why wont you say everything that lead up to him saying that? Your not a saint you did something to piss him off cause unless his just abusive he wouldn’t say that unless provoked. My husband has said some messed up stuff but thats only after I have said it first. Thats why I’m saying theres more to it. Next time tell everything that lead up to him saying that. I’m sorry I wont be supportive until all facts are there. Just cause your mad at him and want women to feel sorry for you doesn’t mean you need to just tell what he did and not you. It takes two. If ya don’t like my honesty then dont post ignorant stuff.

So is this new or has he always been this way or has it gotten worse over time? What has happened in his life to make him stressed out? Is he worried about finances? Does he want you to get a job and bring in income if you’re not currently working outside the home? Did something happen at his job to make him scared of losing it? Did y’all plan this pregnancy or is that part of the strain? This will make three kids in rapid succession. Usually when people lash out it’s because they hate something in THEMSELVES, not you. They feel out of control so want to control you and make you feel as bad and worthless as they do. It may have nothing to do with you, you’re just handy to beat up, and they feel like you have to take it as the perceived less powerful family member. If you had a dog, he’d kick the dog.
Write down a schedule of everything you do during the day, you leave him with the list of things to accomplish and the kids and have a fun day elsewhere so he can see how much work it is to “be a daycare service.” BTW, check out that list of diaper changes, laundry, fixing breakfast, lunch, dinner, bottles or breastfeeding, picking up, etc. all while comforting, teaching, entertaining, kissing boo-boos, and see how much you do accomplish Wonder Woman! Also tell him to price out day care services (and after school transportation and care) for four kids, including an infant (many won’t take kids younger than 6 months or charge extra), and don’t forget to add in all the stuff you have to provide including diapers, wipes, food, etc. The amount could be staggering and open his eyes.
If it’s recent, maybe he’s jealous of someone who has a wife with a high income, maybe they are childless and can afford fancy cars or vacations and houses. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but ask him which kids he’d put up for adoption so y’all could have a fancier lifestyle (especially when he’s cuddling one of the littles). When the kids open Christmas presents if you do that, or the next time you’re having fun as a family ask him “Isn’t this better than having an expensive car?” Get him to think longer term. Remind him the children’s love is forever and a car will fall apart in a few years (and like kids, requires expensive maintenance), a fancy vacation is over in a week, and a bigger home is more upkeep often requiring someone to take off work to meet the expensive tradespeople. If the kids are fine and you raise them to be independent, your time caring for them only lasts 20 years out of an 80 year lifespan, and one day they will (hopefully) take care of you in your old age and return the favor—and they’ll have to contend with MUCH bigger and fuller diapers.
The last possibility, and I hope it’s not true, is he is cheating, physically, emotionally, or even just in his imagination. He’s saying hateful things to make you want to leave him, because then he looks less like a bad guy.
Write down your questions for him, give the list to him so he has time to think about it, and set a time to talk (calmly) about what’s going on between you. Say with “us,” not just with him, because that implies it’s all his fault (even if it is) and he’ll be on the defensive. Invite him to give you a list if he wants for you to tackle at another time. Men usually can’t think about more than one thing at a time, so the fewer the questions the better, five at the most. Use lots of “I” statements, like “I feel ____ when you _____. Please _____” Starting a sentence with “You” sounds accusatory (because it is) and puts the other person on the defensive. Mostly ask questions and listen to his answers without interrupting.
If you can’t sit and talk calmly after the kids are in bed, get a sitter and get marriage counseling to sort out your feelings and what’s going on with a pro. A neutral third party can usually cut through the crap faster. Cheaper than an expensive divorce lawyer.
In the meantime, look up info on divorce and services available to you, so if he is intent on divorce you won’t be blindsided.
Also make a doctor’s appointment and get screened for depression. Anticipating a new baby should bring some joy. Then be sure you’re relying on really reliable birth control immediately after the birth. Three kids, soon to be four with three in a row would be overwhelming for anyone. Give yourself an emotional and physical break.

He sounds like a real asshole.
And I’m sure this isn’t something new. So first of all, stop getting pregnant. Babies don’t fix abusive relationships, nor do they keep your partner.
Sounds more like you should just be doing it alone. Stop having kids with a child.

“Prepare quietly” to leave, by getting a Government Aid Agency on your side, contact friends to “prepare” to move belongings, get a Restraining Order and a “safe-house” away from friends, where he will not track you down, bring in the Police when moving, to restrict any abuse of any type, weapons, all put on the Restraining Order. Move with confidence of a better future.
After you move, if there is any “Love in your Heart” and His, write to get him to give-up the booze, go to Alcoholics Anonymous, and prove that he has a good or better Job, away from the stress, and can provide a better Marriage. If the light has gone out in your Marriage, then it’s a “Dear John Letter”, filing for non-contact irreversible inconsolable differences leading to divorce, and go get a future.
If applying for a Job, add into your CV about your new start, and it might work in your favour.
If you would like to get Jesus Christ on your side too, and really get to know Him, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints stands ready and willing, to help you change, and get a Testimony of Him, “as God”.

Also, find your backbone and tell him off when he talks to you that way. It’s hard when you’ve been worn down and have pregnancy hormones everywhere, but find your inner badass. Don’t just lie down and take it. Tell him to take it back and stop talking to you in such a disrespectful way. If he has something to say he can say or ask nicely like an adult. This can be a game changer and make him think twice before he opens his yap.
