What should I do

Question

So about 2 years ago I got my tubes tied well it didn’t work because I am currently 18 weeks pregnant with my 5th child. My husband does nothing. He hasn’t provided financially for this family since 2019 all he does is drink and spend the money I make. He says it’s our money so whatever I provide to the table is US providing it. I’ve been working 60 hours a week while pregnant and he does nothing. I’m so tired

Answer

You're basically already a single mom. Why do you need someone that isn't even a man around making more hassle for you?

Answer

It sounds like you're taking care of another child. I'd get a divorce and put him on child support

Answer

I'd have been gone long before I got to 5 kids with a bum

Answer

Omg working 60 hours while pregnant!!! He's a dog for not contributing so you can work less hours! That's straight up selfish, I would kick his ass out, does he at least watch the kids? If you want to stay with him I'd move the money into a separate account and just give him money for necessities!

Answer

I voted, but I really shouldn't have. You know your situation better than any of us, and while it's easy to sit back and say "uh yeah, divorce him" I also don't have to deal with any of the consequences. So I will say that I support you and think it's outrageous that you have to work 60 hours a week (while pregnant!) while he does nothing. That's just crazy. I do hope for the best for you and your family, but whether that's divorce or counseling or whatever is not something that I can or should give my opinion on. Sending good thoughts your way though  💜

Answer

I picked divorce because it sounds like an ongoing problem. I’d be inclined to try counseling first and have some very serious and honest conversations and if nothing worked and/or he was unwilling to put in effort then I’d have to leave.
