I just need to rant! Up at 2am crying thinking where I went wrong

I have given up on my husband! My little girl is 8 months old and I want to make things work but is it even worth it! I just have so much resentment towards him! 1- Despite me being on maternity pay I pay for everything towards my little girl. He's never really gone out of his way to get her anything at all. I mean it took him 8 months to even get her a toy which he didn't even check to see if It was intact. 2- Since having her I went out for the first time on Friday for dinner with a friend. He assured me he would do the night shift and look after her. I was back by 9pm and 20 mins after coming home his 2 friends turned up and they started drinking. Safe to say I ended up doing the night shift alone because he was now drunk and had smoked so he couldn't handle her. 3- He goes out every weekend and I am home alone with my daughter despite me asking for a break! I haven't got this since having her! 4- Gas lighting - what have you done all day! When I explain there is a lot to do he would turn around and say do it whilst she is asleep! Am I not entitled to a damn break? 5- Some days I barely get a chance to eat when I communicated that his response was you're an adult you should eat! 6- I managed my childs routine and have shared this with him many times. When I asked him about it his reply was you never said that. I am now at a point where I am sharing things on what's app and email to keep everything written. 7- He says he will change but I just don't believe him! He barely feeds her or changes her I have to always ask for him to do this! Should this be happening in a marriage? Why do I constantly look at him and just feel empty? I've given up 😔

If he can't step up and be an adult, then he's not being a partner, he's being a child. Mom life is difficult enough without him adding to it. If he won't change, it sounds like life will be easier without him in the picture. I'm sorry.

You are a married single mum. He's not acting like a parent or a partner. You're probably better on your own, I'm sorry to say. I have had a similar experience with my fella, and I left him 2 weeks ago. Me and my daughter moved in with my parents. If you want to message me, I'm happy to talk about it more and we can support each other.

Please honestly pack his bags. Because you could legit be happy, single and have no expectations. Compared to being lonely in a relationship that is just pure selfish and feeling more alone than ever.
