Default Re: Husband Won't Help

Was he any different while in your hometown? if he wasn't, maybe he is doing all this to make you quit and move back but you have to think about how much better your life would be once you finish your career. If he has always been like this, honey it's better if you dump him now. Right now the excuse is that you forced him into moving. What would be next? How much abuse does your kid have to take for you to realize that you married a larvae who is sucking up your energy ,time and money? Just think about this: if he really loves you, why does he feel the need to get rid of your kid since for a mother her own child is like a part of oneself?

My husband has been a lousy father for about 7 years now. When I came home postpartum with our second child, he ignored both kids and was on his computer chatting with his girlfriends for 8 hrs straight. He claimed his paternity leave was his vacation. I agree there exists a serious condition called "internet addiction" or even one called "avoidant father syndrome" or something, but this is ridiculous.

I feel if your husband refuses to help.....i agree with
blackeyedsusan37 said go cold turkey...... dont have to do anything u dont want to. Go to work come home and relax and prepare something for u to eat...if not eat before u come home. Budget a weekly allowance for yourself. Forget him. There has to be an agreement here. If u cook he washes or order out. As for his daughter let him take care of her or tell her she cant come anymore sorry!. The dogs cant let them starve.. they should be easy feed and walk them and sit in the park and relax....dont stress it. If he cant handle it oh well..... dont wash his clothes....he does his own stuff....try it....good luck also on your pregnacy....
