My husband only cares about himself and I'm having a hard time

Let me tell you a secret…YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB! Time to do what is right for you and ur kids… if that is staying, have the conversation and if that’s going, throw him out! Life is too short, you and ur kids deserve better and ur kids deserve to see happy parents. Don’t think you can’t do it alone because you already are. Time for him to make his choice: party boy or family man and if he chooses the ladder please believe that has nothing to do with you…he needs to fix himself

It’s not you you sound like a good mom
Take time make a time with out the kids and talk to him and tell him you need help if not let him go to his moms house stay there and get child support
You got to show him a man is supposed to give his check to his wife and his wife is supposed to pay the bills and make sure there food on the table my dad was like that and I got 5 boys there all married and there doing good
Thank God there lil sister in college and brother max help her get a car so she don’t walk and she is so far away but we have a family group and talk everyday I was a single mom and I worked very hard I still do

No judgement here, we all make mistakes when it comes to love. I would cut him loose and get a divorce. It’s going to be hard especially on the kids but there’s no point in trying with someone with that type of mindset. He obviously doesn’t care about his kids and didn’t want any in the first place. You could do better. Don’t waste your life on someone who doesn’t love you or care about you.

Stop doing for him and tell him how much half of all the bills are … round it up to one number if he chooses not to do this then you can do without him … get rid that’s half of the stress, pressure and unfairness gone

Are they his biological kids too. Because the way he is acting sounds like he doesn care about the kids or their well being.

Sounds like it is time to value yourself.Not judging but your kids learn from parents behavior do you want your children to treat there future partners like this? Tell him to get it together or dont let the door hit him in his brains on the way out girl be strong for you your children will respect you in the future

You don’t need an extra kid to fetch and carry for. I’ve been single for over 4 years and wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve always done everything including working and study run at the same time as well as bringing up 3 kids and although it’s tough I wouldn’t have it any other way. I hope you can make him change his ways but if not don’t be worried about taking the other path and going it alone x

Sounds like he is getting the best out of this marriage. He hadn’t listened tou your concerns or needs so best to call it a day. You will manage on your own as you already do on a day to day basis. Plus you eont have any chores to fo for him like his laundry or shopping/cooking food for him

If your husband is not your partner I wouldn’t stay. You should be a team a united front. Noone needs an extra kid. Your not his mother. Xx

Omg leave his ass-you n your kids don’t need him!!!

Is this even real people?? Careful what you write

We teach people how to treat us.

Since u are already doing it by urself this shows you that you really don’t need him. Maybe you should re evaluate your life. You are going to school to better yourself. I hope things work out for u.

If off… sound as though you have been married fir quite some time. So you have groomed him to be the way he is.
Now having said that . You have been doing “ it all” for this long . So you have been a single parent for sometime now. Gather up what you financially are responsible for: make yourself a budget of what YOU pay out…. Does he pay mortgage/ rent ….
Get it all on paper who pays for what and that amount . Then you can determine the type of housing you can afford.
Then have a talk with husband , this is not a complaining session it’s a “ when you do this it make me feel….” Kind if talk you must let him talk as well
Remove remotes
( put them in the dryer with dry laundry)
Kids need to be gone , no distractions . Plan for a time that he’s not working…
Tell him I’m a calm voice that he needs to make the time to talk … then tell him that you are worried about this relationship… and then talk …. It may get loud, but being loud doesn’t solve anything you are just competing to be heard…. It will take a while for this talk
You may not solve your worries but you open the door for both of you… be open with each other
No distractions
No hurtful comments
And don’t say “You never …”

Bring home another man see what happens :joy::joy:

Get rid of his ass.your doing it all now why do you think you need him? Only you and you only can change things for you and the kids.The kids should come first .Think about it!

You would probably have less stress without his presence all together. With what you say I wouldn’t be surprised if he was having an affair. You don’t see the money, he’s apparently working all hours and comes home drunk. Just get divorced, he’s an anchor. You’re all alone now anyways

This knob treats you like this because you let him,dispose of this useless person because he will continue to treat you like it.What you allow is what will continue, you already do it all on your own.Boit him out and get onto child support .it will free your life let him be someone else’s problem.

Stop whining and move your family out.He don’t need you guys messing w his fun…

Sounds like my exhusband. We were married 7yrs. I went to court 3x before i actually went thru with my divorce. I needed to make sure I tried everything to save my marriage before divorcing. By the 3rd time going to court…I was done. I knew then that I had enough and I came to my senses and realized im doing everything myself now so i know i would be ok with him gone.
Only YOU will know when youve had enough and when your ready to move on.

Sounds exactly like my ex. I’m a veteran and my father was a police officer so I turned into a detective. Followed him one night! He had no clue…Busted His Ass! That was just one time…there were many. I spent far to much time(10 years) worrying about a relationship that he really didn’t want.
If you’re doing it by yourself…Do It By Yourself! It’s hard, but…
YOU CAN DO IT! :muscle:t2:

Have a heart to heart communications with your husband , make him understand , don’t shout , don’t just not say anything , don’t pass insulting words but instead , get his attention by mellow communication that he would be willing to listen , cooperate and compromise . Men can take it as nagging when a woman is moaning , don’t do that too , the best time to have a talk is when you are both resting and relaxing , try have a good conversations with him then , nicely bring the topic with consent that he won’t mind it and willing to listen and understand where you are coming from . In every problems /issues there’s a solutions , sometimes it’s the way we talk and come to the person . Try it then if it works good but if not don’t give up , let him do it by asking him whether he likes it or not but if he does cooperate and start helping , don’t forget to thank him and give him appreciations for his effort just to make him feel good and appreciated

Yes tell him to piss off for good

No judgement many have been here before… leave that fool and if he actually wants to fight for his family make him prove it… marriage is partnership and if he’s not a partner he’s in the way

Sound like you can do better all by yourself. It’s ultimatum time sweetie. He is not dumb. Have that come to Jesus talk and let him know you can shape up or ship OUT. You already doing EVERYTHING so him leaving wouldn’t make a difference. I’m all for working it out but he got some personal issues he need to seek professional help for.

:neutral_face: was in the same situation…. Don’t even waste your soul anymore. Just leave is all you can do. Even if it hurts. He’ll never leave. Even if he says he will. They always say they will :unamused:. They NEVER WILL.
