My husband has just taken on a new job (so needed as he was unemployed for a couple years). Any way he has done a week and now stating he is going to leave the job. He states he hurts his back too much! I said maybe just your body getting use to moving/labour etc (he literally sits at home doing nothing before this job). He then states, I hate working for people and he won’t be going back to the job. I could cry.

Like wtf. I’m trying hard to bite my tongue and be supportive but I’m slowing losing any respect for him which is sad cos I do love him.

We can not afford to survive on my wage alone, I’m getting so depressed worrying about where our next meal will come from, and being over concerned about how many nappies I’m using in a day in case I run out.

When I first met him years ago he wasn’t working and I managed to get him a job. He lasted 6months before walking out in the job. He then would speak of us having children together and I always refused stating I could not afford one. Low and behold he found a job! After being at this job for over 2years (things were great financially) we decided to have a baby. When our baby was roughly 2months old he quit his job!!!! I couldn’t believe it. And now ever since then I’ve struggled with bills and baby. He even had the check last month to ask for another baby (a sibling) WTF seriously do you not understand we can’t afford this one!!!! I had to go back to work early because he left his job - which destroyed me as I was planning on taking a year off with my baby.

Make sense of this. I’m trying to be sympathetic as he says he is in a lot of pain but seriously I have so many words, resentment and losing sexual feelings for him as I prefer manly men (old school grafters) he coming across as weak and lazy. On top of this I do 98% of housework 100% cooking and 96% of caring for child.

What would you do cos all I have done is help, support and guide when really all I wanna do is cuss out

Edit: thanks for comments. I definitely wouldn’t leave as this is my house that I owned before meeting him. I would have to kick him out but he would be homeless and don’t think I could do that for my baby’s sake
