You are a strong woman and your on your own now, you can move on with or without him. I would say it’s his choice if he wants to join the family and be a dad and provider, stay n help if not bye bye. You should be appreciate with love n respect, if not there are men out there who would love to have you n his family. Support is out there to help you thru this!!! Good luck

Oh sweetie,don’t live like that,your already doing it on your own,get rid of the extra load,fear stop so many woman from leaving,just remember if you think he will change,it Won’t it will just get worse as time goes by.A leopard never changes his spots! Get out,get counseling,and enjoy who you really are!

Why are you still there?

I went through this… you’re a single parent honey.
You’re caring for 3 children. One of whom isn’t yours to raise. That child should have been raised to be a man by his own mother. When I look back I just see all the time I wasted and wonder why I didn’t get out earlier. I was alone and coping alone throughout the entire relationship, and it sounds like you are too. He can still be a parent to his children if he chooses to be. He just doesn’t get you and all your support. You’re worth more than this!

You really need to read what you just wrote and ask your self does that sound like a healthy marriage… then you need to go seek an divorce attorney or just kick him out.not trying to judge you, because I understand completely about getting your self through school… and you have a job and kids, been there done that. I didn’t a husband nor grandparents…
I did it alone… if you leave I promise things will get better. And your going to school to better yourself for your children’s lives and yours.

A leopard doesn’t change its spots. Get out for your sake & your kids. Sad but wishing you all the best…
You deserve soooo much more

Fuck him off he doesn’t deserve you or the kids :two_hearts:

Kick the bum out! You are doing all by yourself anyway!

Im so very sorry for you both as raising a family and living life is extremely difficult. Wondering if maybe you both can sit down and talk through ways you can help eachother lesson eachothers load a bit and explain what could help eachother out the most. Maybe couples therapy if you find you cannot talk it through yourselves.

Sounds to me like you both are batting things and could use some extra help to get you through this and the blame game doesn’t help couples communicate rationally. Couples are supposed to be a team and in order to be that we have to be open and honest but in a calm, understanding and compassionate way.

Wishing you both the best and maybe some of your friends and family could help with advice or a couples counseling.

Just an outsiders point of view

Take care and Wishing you both the best :heart:

Answer is Written in your story. Your doing it by yourself…

Leave him that’s absolutely awful. He shouldn’t be treating you like this and if your not happy you shouldn’t force yourself to carry on in this relationship. The fact he’s still with you but refuses to provide for his own children speaks volumes. He’s a silly kid still who thinks he doesn’t have any responsibility. Ditch him honestly you deserve better :100:!

Kick him out you both decided to have kids therefore why he feels you should do it all is beyond me. Sounds like your better off without him. Don’t live like this for longer then you have it life is to short. Good luck with it all

What’s the worth of being 2gether if he like that? That kind of husband is Totally a garbage… leave him!! Don’t see him, dont talk to him. Dont show your children to him… you will see his life will be miserable.

What else do you need for him to present you the other woman, stop it with the blind eye, take care of your kids and get rid of that snob.

You need him in your life … why? You’re already on your own. Leave … you definitely deserve better than an absent drunk

You’re doing everything on your own anyway hun,do you really need a extra man child to raise to kick his ass out the door you’ve got this

Girl leave him, he sounds like a burden. If he is not helping you…. You can do bad all by yourself! He is a burden.

Be upfront with him. .marriage is all about communication. Tell him if he can’t step up and be a member of the family that you are done and he can move out and stay with his parents. Don’t raise your voice…just state calmly your case,that you work go to school,take care of the home,children and everything financially. He entered into a partnership and is not acting like one. I wish you the best,you deserve to be happy.

You already got to take care of yourself & 2 kids you don’t need a grown ass adult to look after too, he should want to provide for you & his kids. If he ain’t doing that off his own back then both you and your kids deserve better.

Tell him to go. You are already doing it alone. It will be much easier with him gone. You look after you and your kids.

Suspicion is he’s cheating and isn’t supportive of you or your children whatsoever, so what’s right for yourself and your children’s future and leave. You’re already supporting yourself and the children why do you need him for? He isn’t around and he isn’t helping you at all.

Does he pay rent? Does he add to your joint bank account? If not, he has an account somewhere. You do the laundry so start going through his stuff and find out where. As his wife you can access it. Shrug. Just saying. Fair is fair. Is you are buying the home, is it in both your names? If you are doing the buying, his name goes off.
I know you are remembering the love that use to be there and want it back. But if you have tried and failed at rekindling it, of giving him focus time aside from school and kids, then its time to let go of him. He’s moved on, just hasn’t moved out. Time to make your own plans .

Leave him, you are doing it all alone already, get him out of your life so you and kids can work on being happy.

Definitely could be more to the story. But he could be struggling with his own depression too. Men are not wired the way we are and definitely do not operate the same either. Have you Tried counseling? But if he works and doesn’t give you money, that’s not a team. You definitely have to make a decision for your sanity and happiness, it trickles down to the kids too. Definitely time for a change and sit him down and give him an ultimatum maybe? Good luck, it’s not easy I know.

Are you scared of him huni !!?

I agree with all of them! I did it. You can too! After listening to my kids as adults now. I’m glad i left. Its better they find their own relationship with him in their time and not one forced onto them that’s unhealthy. Good luck

You thought him how to treat you showing him how much you can tolerate… the disrespect from him is in another level. You need help?? Divorce, you’ll see how your exhaustion and depression are gonna disappear, you might gonna be tired, but not like you ate now. He’s draining your soul.

Where are your boundaries? Why is this treatment acceptable to you? If it’s not, you must start using boundaries. Start by changing your language. You said you “have to” take care of all these things, including him. You do not “have to” take care of a grown ass man. These are things you have been convinced are your responsibility, and they are not. You have power, but you don’t recognize it. Get to work on building your boundaries and self esteem so you can learn to protect yourself instead of only protecting your husband’s entitlements.

Kick his lazy selfish behind to the curb and make him pay child support. You’re doing it all yourself anyway. What do you need him for?

You did not take another kid to raise. Leave for the your kids sake. Show them how strong you are and can make it on your own. Dont let the kids accept his kind of living as what a man should do. Put the kids first.

You know what you need to do. You are looking for a way out of your marriage. And there are so many things that you listed that makes this guy not a fit candidate as your husband who is going to be there for you to help you build. I think it’s time to separate. For the sake of your mental health, let him go. You don’t have to hate him. You just can’t build with a person who isn’t willing to do so with you.

Most men are very literal beings. He needs to know exactly what you want/need from him. Write your to do list for the week. Tell him you need a team player because the current situation is too heavy for you. Ask him what tasks he will help with because you are overwhelmed and this isn’t the marriage you signed up for. Then kindly tell him you need a partner because you’re feeling all alone. If he doesn’t get that or isn’t willing then it’s time to put yourself & your children’s well being and happiness first and move on. I think what would help you most is, asking yourself if you want your children to believe this is what marriage is? This is the example being put before them and it’s not what marriage is supposed to be. Marriage is supposed to be :100:/ :100: each spouse putting their all into it. Not 200/0! Please don’t settle for this.

Doesn’t sound like you benefit from him all…if you never had a talk with him you should do so…but honestly its time for a divorce

It doesn’t seem salvageable. I’m sorry to say. It’s just a repeat pattern of minimum effort on his part. I’d say he mentally checked out long ago.

If I were you I’d be speaking with relatives, if that’s an option, to see where me and the kids could move to while finding affordable places to live on my own.

If you have friends or family, while he’s gone, pack everything up that day with them and be gone before he gets back. Leave a divorce letter on the table for him to fill out.

Don’t know why we hang on so long taking their crab. Verbal and mental abuse are much worse than physical, bruises can heal but mental, depending how long you let it go on can stay with you for the rest of your life. .Get out now because unless he goes to get serious help it will never change. And remember not only you but your kids are suffering.

Sweetie you aren’t married to a man that is a boy, and another responsibility on the list of all the thing you have to take care, any man that complaints about taking care of his children is also a child himself, whenever you have to question your happiness in a marriage or any relationship for that matter it’s time to go. You’ve been taking on all the responsibility alone so what’s the point of him being there.

Kick him out or start charging him for rent, utilities and food, after all he sounds like he’s just a boarder. Take him to court for child support, add all that up and tell him it’s what he needs to contribute to live there. Sounds like you got it all under control on your own!!

Suck it up.you choose to stay you are the only one who can fix this. Herr is what you do. Go home while he’s at the all day and some time all night cheating fuck is at work and pack.his shit. Then set it at the grandpa and grandma’s house change locks go to court house get full custody and file for divorce. Good luck and I’m sorry if that was to rude but I ain’t sugar coating shit.

If you are not happy and think you can’t solve anything by having a conversation with him just divorce and problem solved. Unless you are company dependent and prefer all that than be happy just alone and by yourself. Then, just divorce and seek for a mental health professional.
