How would I leave?

Getting divorced has been on my mind at times this year and I'm just clueless where to start preparing if I do.
Can anyone share any advice?
Honestly I think my husband would be really unhappy about it all.

It sounds like you’re unhappy to if it’s been something you’ve been considering for a year. Have you spoken to him about it? Can the marriage be saved? Counselling?

any time we have a big argument he always talks about us being done and it's always me that fights to make him realise how immature he's being saying we're over in every argument. I know he won't try therapy as I mentioned it before.
We've had a lot going on with our son this year and I've told my husband he made me feel insane (our son is awaiting diagnosis but noone believed me) but I've never had an apology for it - I was off work sick and quit my job
Just feel like it's me doing all the supporting and I get nothing back.
He now says I don't communicate with him how I'm feeling but I feel I can't mention anything to do with our son getting his diagnosis soon.

Sorry to hear this.
It’s never going to be easy leaving someone but if you truly believe it’s for the best and see no other way then I hope you have family and friends to support you.
I divorced my first husband due to constant lies and gaslighting and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I gave him 5 chances and then just weeks/a couple of months later I’d find out he had lied about something again. It was drugs and he knew 7 years before when he met me my views on drugs. I’d been away at a hobby of mine and came home in the early hours to find he had left traces and that was it that time. I told him to leave and then I phoned his mum and once I’d told her it all I felt a bit stronger with my choice (we got on really well) then I told my mum and over the days the rest of my friends and family. Thankfully we hadn’t managed to conceive so I didn’t have that to consider but honestly when you’re done, you’re done and you will go through waves of feeling guilty but stick with it

Going back to work!

Already thinking about this! Told my boss I was pregnant this week at 10 weeks, he was so happy for me. He’s recently became a first time Dad and was showing me pictures of his baby. I told him my plans about going back after 6 months and he looked at me like I was mad, am I!? I absolutely love my job and cannot imagine giving it up, I manage a team and am petrified my position won’t be there if I had a year off. My husband gets 6 months full pay so the plan would be for him to have the last 6 months off and I also made it clear to my boss that I would like to go part time. That way we can hopefully parent together 4/7 days rather than just the weekend! I am such an overthinking! 🤣 but this is what I’m struggling with the most, I’ve worked full time since I was 17 (12 years ago) and the max time I’ve had off in one go is 2 weeks when I got married. I’m sooo excited to be a Mum and we decided now was the right time, which it 100% is! But I feel so on edge about not working! I’m sure once I’m on maternity leave I won’t even think about work! Has anyone else felt the same?

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
