I am a wife/mom of a 2 year old and a 7 week old . I am just over doing everything myself when I have a spouse who should be helping. It’s the expectation that I should take care of the kids and the house as if I don’t work. He seems very ungrateful and has even made comments that what I am doing as a mom is what I am supposed to be doing;nothing special. I am on maternity leave and I should be relaxing. We just came back from vacation and it made me realize just how much I do( breastfeeding on demand, clothing bathing feeding kids, packed for me and kids etc). I don’t get help from my husband unless I ask. It should come natural to just help out your partner. We are basically roommates! I just don’t want to do it anymore. Not to mention previous infidelity as recent as December;that I know of. I’m just over it. I’m done being the glue keeping this thing together.

When you are done with maternity leave all this will be 1000% worse. Contact lawyers, make a plan and move forward knowing you deserve so much better

I know I’m late to respond however I felt this exact way about my husband - still do honestly. I literally could have wrote this post it’s so similar to our situation. We have a 2 almost 3 year old and a now 8 month old baby. I found out he was talking to another women by going through his phone - I was pregnant at the time he was telling some other girl he likes her and it broke my fucking heart. I pull so much weight that it makes my blood boil and I have no respect for him now - the fact that I cook, clean, and take care of our kids (we just put the toddler in daycare but the baby stays home with me) A WHILE WORKING. 😓 I keep myself together as well and try to support him. He hardly helps with the kids and I practically have to beg for him to assist with chores. I tell you all this because I got to a breaking point and left. I moved the fuck out and told him exactly why I was leaving his sorry ass. Fast forward to now, we are in marriage counseling and co-parenting.

Know your worth ❤️
