[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing you should be doing with this extra time and waiting out the current times isn’t getting your life in order to LEAVE as soon as this is over. Do you have friends and/or family for support?[b] It sounds like you don’t have the confidence to leave[/b] but you absolutely have to for the sake of your kids and your safety. And someone who has been there, when he disrespects you walk away and don’t entertain it. When he snags the kids in rage document it and when it’s time leave without a scene and explanation. Only then he will get it. Life is so much better.[/quote]

I think there’s truth to this. I feel overwhelmed at the thought of working while parenting two kids alone. My husband is not emotionally supportive but he does participate in household chores and childcare. Neither of us have family in the area and moving is not an option due to my job. It’s already a lot to juggle with a partner, and I keep hearing from women that a so-so partner is better than none when it comes to just everyday logistics.

At the moment we are in separate bedrooms, more due to his snoring and my changed sleep patterns after having kids. We talk to deal with logistics. We have the children in common. In recent months when things were better, we did go on day dates or hang out in the evenings. But not the past few weeks. The past few weeks I just don’t like him as a person. I wish he was different when under stress. He used to be more steady but the last few years really has seemed to go off the deep end with suicidal periods, work stress, and general midlife crisis stuff. It’s a lot to deal with his negativity. I find myself retreating more and more into a life that doesn’t include him.[/quote]
