I think we’re done long rant- sorry
So my husband was not very supportive during my pregnancy, this was my 2nd pregnancy and he was pretty good with my first. He didn’t help with any of the housework even when i would specifically ask him too. It got to the point where I couldn’t reach the sink to wash dishes and would have to stand sideways next to the sink because my belly was so big. Never offered to help with dinner, didn’t pick up after himself and didn’t help with our 3yo. It was video games and his phone that we’re his priority.
When I went into labor the first thing he did when we got to the hospital was lay down on the couch and fall asleep. He constantly complained that when we had our first he barely remembers the delivery because he was so tired from not get any sleep during the night. I was in labor from 3am-1:30pm with my first. So first thing he does when we get to the hospital at 4am while I’m in labor with my second-nap time straight to the couch.
Nothing has changed since we got home. I’m EBF and getting up every 2-3hrs at night with baby. I’ve asked him if he woukd give her a bottle at night and he says okay, only to forgot after multiple reminders once the time comes. He’s such a deep sleeper her crying never wakes him up. I physically have to shake him to wake up. He stays up to 2am playing video games and I have physically wake up at 10am. And nothing has changed with the housework- I’m doing everything including taking out the garage. When I ask him to help because it’s getting full and I’m assuming heavy and needs to go out is he simply pushes everything down to make “more room.”
Tonight I think is the final straw. Our 3 yo has been going through a rough patch, constant temper tantrums which I think are attention seeking with the new baby home. But after she went to bed I broke down completely crying my eyes out because I’m stressed out with the constant tantrums. Every question I posed to my husband he responded I don’t know. So tonight I’m sleeping on the couch with our 6week sleeping in the swing next to me so I can nurse her while he sleeps away through the night in our bed upstairs. He’s clueless, completely clueless. I’ve confronted him multiple times begging for his help support and love and nothing changes.
I think this it, I think I’m officially done with my marriage.
