Should I stay or leave?

Beanie

I’ve been with my husband for 5 1/2 years, we’ve been married for a little over a year and we have a 9 month old. I love him, but I feel like he doesn’t love me the way I want him to.

I’ll send him messages that I want him to read and he will just ignore them. I can post something cute and sweet for him and he will comment “thanks. I love you too” he doesn’t show a lot of effort. He rarely tells me I’m beautiful unless I send him a selfie. I hope this doesn’t sound stupid. I just don’t know what to do. Maybe it’s just how he is?

We both work full time jobs, but he expects me to do all the cleaning and cooking, he hardly does anything around the house. I know this is little details, but it’s the little things that count. He never doesn’t anything special for me, he doesn’t by me flowers or write me cute notes/messages. I just don’t think he’s truly in love with me. I think he loves the idea of me and I know he loves me, but not like he needs to and like I need him to. I’m just tired of feeling this way. I feel disgusting when I’m with him. I feel worthless and ugly.

I can go out with my sister or friends and feel pretty and confident but when I’m with him I feel like I’m not enough. I feel insecure. I’m so insecure that it’s unhealthy. Even if we don’t divorce, I think it would be healthy for a break? Long enough for me to find myself.. what do you guys think?

Also, I’ll be a single mom in this case and have to live on my own. Advice?? Pls!
