So, my marriage has been a bit rocky, for the last 8 months or so. I just hate that my husband got into the habit of getting drunk on a weekly basis. At least once a week he will come home drunk. Sometimes it will even be 2-3 days in a row. He often lies about where he is or what he is doing because he knows I hate that he gets drunk. Anyway, I told him I didn't want to have any children together if he didn't stop. So along came the words "I'll stop, i'll change". That only lasted a while before going back to it. So naturally it led to us TTC on and off. I think (know) I haven't left because #1 I cannot afford to pay rent on my own and have no friends with a spare room. #2 I'm stupid enough to hope that he will change. I'm now pregnant. We are both very excited, but I don't want to continue life like this, especially with a baby. But I love him, but I also know love is not enough. Tonight is night #2 that he is drunk and to top it off it's my birthday and he is now where to be found. What should this pregnant, living paycheck to paycheck, 26 year old do? 😟
