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

Sounds like he is having an affair or another life since he’s always gone.
I would get a divorce and leave, your already doing it all yourself.

I’ve done exactly what your doing, eventually you’ll be force to let that toxic relationship alone. Make the right decision now and prevent yourself from continuing this madness, send prayers :pray:

I had a similar situation but worked full time, which gives a sense of pride and accomplishment, plus provides a sense of personal income too.

Is he working? Does he pay the other bills in the house? So he is contributing in that sense if he is. BUT Even all of the other issues that you talk about is grounds for separation. Stop doing things for him. Don’t cook for him, don’t do his laundry, don’t clean up his messes. Tell him you have enough to do with yourself in the kids that you don’t have time for his stuff. You’re not his mother.
Also, if he is always gone. He is obviously not happy being at home with his family. So tell him to go be free.

What’s he there for ? Your doing it yourself. Throw the trash out

You’re already handling everything yourself. Divorce him and let the courts demand he give u child support.

Seems to me like you’re already doing just fine al by yourself and he’s just dead weight at this point. I’d get rid of him but it’s ultimately up to you what to do in your marriage.

Leave …u practically on your own as it is .or let him leave.

Sounds like you need to get your ducks in a row which you already know but let reality sink in hurts more fake it until you make it :hugs:

No dick is that good sweetie or worth that much money or heartbreak. Start to make an exit plan ASAP. You know things aren’t going to change. Keep moving foward and don’t make waves about it, and start making quietly making a plan and gathering info and records of everything for your divorce and set yourself and kids up for sucess. You need to be out of this situation but do it in a smart and efficient manner, to ensure the best life possible for you and your kiddos

The first part of your sentence is all you need to know. Leave. Start getting your money up or go get out now (go to parents/friends) and start getting up your money to divorce this loser.

People who haven’t been in your situation don’t understand, but I do. It’s hard to break out of a relationship like that but you can do it. Start putting a little money aside every week for yourself (and your attorney you’ll need). When you get a little lump sum go see an attorney. The state will make him pay alimony and child support. Then you can have a life. You’ll still work hard but you’ll be doing it for just you and your children. You will find happiness, you just have to take the first step, even tho it’s scary. :gift_heart:

Might as well be alone if your partner isn’t being a partner to you. If you have to do everything alone you might as well drop the baggage you don’t need, which is him. I usually don’t advocate for leaving, I feel like most marital issues can be resolved with communication and even therapy but this right here is you being taken advantage of and emotionally neglected, so leave. He won’t help you, he won’t help you provide, he’s never home, and he lies to you, so what’s he there for? Looks? No reason to keep someone around if they can’t even be bothered to pretend to want to be there for you, you deserve better.

You deserve so much better. We have one life on this earth, do not waste it. He doesn’t contribute, doesn’t show love or concern, he’s probably cheating too. Leave. Go find someone who deserves you.

I lived this for a long time. Except he didn’t work. He would sleep all day and then play video games all night. I worked full time, went to school full time, took care of myself, four kids, the house and paid all the bills. I finally realized… if I was doing it all on my own, I should be on my own. I left him. I was still working full time, going to school full time, taking care of myself, 4 kids, the house, and paying all the bills… but I was happier because I didn’t have his bullshit to deal with.

Money coming into the house is communal imo.
Everything goes into and out of one pot
Is he paying what he earns into a joint account for the general running of the home…or is he keeping all his income ?
If hes working long hours so are you…you should both be helping around the house
If you’re doing and paying everything by yourself…youre better off alone imo…send him packing

Look up narcissistic personality and decide for yourself if you want to stay in that life. Run girl, run!

That’s a divorce. Yea, he’s working, but you need help in all the ways thinkable. Save up some money to get your own place, since you basically already do it as a single parent. Just one less person to care for. Your babies need you happy and your obviously not momma. Get out and put him on child support, that way he has to help money wise for the kids he helped create.

Or give him the ultimate choice of actually helping you or you and the kids are gone, if you want to try to save the marriage, but he’ll have to stop drinking all the time. But maybe a separation from you and the kids will open his eyes that you will not be taken for granted and will not take care of a man child.

But if my husband was that way, I’d divorce him and definitely request child support and no visitations until the drinking problem was under control.

The fact that you think he works day and night shows how over this relationship is.

If you’re doing all that and paying bills, he’s just a room mate that needs evicted. He’s behaving like he has no family. Stop cooking for him, doing his laundry, etc. If he’s working that much and not contributing, he can afford his own place.

Cut off all the wife services cooking cleaning etc. Do for you and the kids dont give him any of ur money dont pay his expenses at all not for his car not for him. Start the eviction process hes a. Shitty roommate with the benefits of a husband cut him off at the balls my momma would say

No judgement, explain your feelings to him and give him time to process the information. Step two is to give a time limit to change his ways and become the father and husband you want and need him to be. Encourage counseling. Until his time is up start charging him rent so he knows your serious. When the time is up readdress the situation and make a final decision on weather you want to live with this person for the rest of your life or be a single mom.

Sounds like you are already doing it all on your own anyway, lighten the load and get rid of him.

Darling lady, I’m pretty sure everybody reading this just wants to give you a huge hug. I feel your pain, but this is NOT meant to be your life! You and your kids deserve love, safety, joy. Is there anyone you and the kids can stay with while you figure out your next move. Please don’t settle for this less than half a life. I live in the UK but I would love to support you with friendship if you would like that. Please take back what has been stolen from you…your life!

You’re obviously able to care for you and your kids without him. So, go on without him. He doesn’t appreciate or respect you. He doesn’t want to be better for you. You can leave… You’ll be happier. Your kids will be happier. Of course it’ll be hard… But no harder than it’s already been. At least you’ll be a single mom, not a single mom with a husband. Good luck.

Baby if you doing ALL THAT & PAYING THE BILLS…tf is he there for? Taking up space? Im not judging u at all. BUT LEAVE HIS ASS!!! HE’S USELESS. you can do all that by yourself

Sounds like you are living life as a single parent. Well then, be one. Dump him. He’s not contributing to the marriage at all, so why stay married ? There are programs out there for single parents that may offer some help, so why not take advantage of them. Plus you may find a partner out there that is truly willing to be a partner and help pitch in at home and help out. That is just my opinion, take it for what its worth. At least he wouldn’t be an anchor your dragging around. Good luck !!!

Everyone on this post is going to tell you to leave him because you should, be on your own until you find a real man! He’s not a good husband or a good dad and that won’t change if you stay, let him go he doesn’t love you he just loves the perks of being with you.

Honestly I’d be concerned on him coming home drunk saying he’s at “work”. I don’t know any job that let’s anyone get drunk on the clock. Even bartenders can’t unless it’s a wet bar but that’s obviously not what he does. He isn’t going to change so you need to really think long and hard about what it is YOU WANT! If you want to continue this routine then stick with it but if you are truly fed up babe you know what you need to do. Emotionally it’ll be hard but trust me when I say it’ll be a huge weight lifted off your shoulders. And it’ll force him to grow up.

I wouldn’t be hanging around that nasty child. I’d be long gone. He is being abusive towards you and the kids. It’s time you started thinking about you and your family. If you think he’s working both day and night you’re only fooling yourself. He’s a very selfish person not contributing to anything. You are better off just you and the kids. Then let him pay child support. At least you would have peace of mind. That’s not love.
