UPDATE #2: Lazy *cheating* husband

Stephanie

My husband just told me he is exempt from housework, cooking, etc because he "makes all the money". Yes, he makes alot more than me but we both work. He works 40-50 hours a week and I work 35-40. He drives 2 hours to work each day so he's not home much. I take the kids to daycare, go to work, pick them up from daycare, make supper, clean the kids up, and put them to bed. I also do dishes and laundry at least every other day. I try to fit everything else in when I can. I'm also 34 weeks pregnant so I am exhausted by the end of the day. I'd love to just relax on the weekends but there's always housework to do plus getting ready for the baby which he also said was not "his job". Seriously? Is it really ok for him to think this way just because he makes more money??

He literally has done nothing to prepare for the baby despite all his promises to get things ready. I put the crib together, painted the hand-me-down dresser and changing table and cleaned out our spare room so it could be a nursery. He has physically purchased 1 item for our baby.. that's it. Granted he makes more money then I do so his money has paid for some things but he hasn't done much of anything to prepare for this child.

I love our family.. and I love him. But I'm never a priority to him. My needs are never acknowledged. I feel so alone in this. We've tried counseling and he says it's a waste of time. At what point do you just give up?? Am I being unreasonable? I'm so physically and mentally exhausted!

Sorry for the vent....

UPDATE: He told me at 4am that he hates me and that's why he won't help me. He said he hates his job and I told him about the job so therefore he hates me for "ruining his life". I also found another women's number on our cell bill this afternoon. And the bitch knows he's married and that I'm pregnant... so there's that too. He said I make him miserable and he doesn't want to be miserable anymore.

I don't get it... we had our issues but they were slowly changing and getting better. We were talking about me being a SAHM after the baby came because he didn't want the baby in daycare. We talked about taking a mini vacation to Vegas after the baby came. He even brought up trading his beloved diesel truck in for a better family suv for me. Now I find out he's had 1 foot out the door this whole time. I feel so betrayed. So used. I get up every morning at 3am and start his truck and make him breakfast. I make him supper every night when he comes home exhausted from work. I don't expect anything out of him during the week. But yet I make HIM miserable.

Well ladies, I guess this means divorce is on the table. There's nothing more for me to do here. Thanks for all the encouraging words. I really appreciate it. ❤

UPDATE #2: The girl he is talking to was the receptionist at the hotel he said at while working out of state. Apparently hotel receptionists think it's totally cool to text their guests even when they know they are married. Wtf! He worked out of town for several months and came home on the weekends. I can't even imagine what their "friendship" consisted of. Yuck! Part of me wants to call her boss and ask if it's customary for the employees of the hotel to fuck with married guests of the hotel. She knew he was married according to their texts. Yes, he is definitely the one to blame but seriously... keep your job professional!
