Thinking to divorce … he is narcissistic and baby is 6 months

So, I’m 29y, lives in Florida and I’m a first time mom with a man that I’m completely confused and he is so annoying emotionally. Sometimes he is happy and most of the time he is so mean. I walk on eggshells non stop. Anything upset him. For example, this morning I asked him to spend more times with me and the baby on his day off, he got mad and hit the wall and said that I annoyed him. 😒
Then I will just disappear in the room with the baby.
He comes few hours later like nothing happened. Asking me if I need anything 😅. Then same day, I told him I got a call for a job interview. He got mad at me because it’s at oncology floor ( I’m a RN). While few weeks ago he was mad at me for not working and not participating in the finance of house…
Same day early morning, I asked him to help me with the baby, because I need a break juste give me 5 min of extra sleep and you take care of her… he got mean and said “ you don’t work so you stay with her 24h this is your role”. Anyway… I have so many examples of confusions. On the top of this, his mom is a horrible person. She likes to control. So I cut her from my baby and my life because when we were living with her it was HORRIBLE. Her son and I were arguing very hard because she will say one thing to him and other thing to me. Anyway, I’m thinking to leave once I get comfortable with my job.
What can I do ? Should I stay or leave ? I’m taking care of my baby alone with or whitoit him I’m fine honestly at this point he showed me that I can handle her without him. But if I divorce it means she will spend times with him and his family sometimes. :/

Some questions... do you believe this can be fixed? Do you want it to be fixed, or are you done? If you believe it can be fixed, maybe try marriage counseling. If you dont, then seek out a good lawyer... expensive but worth it. Do what is best for you and your daughter! If you think there is a safety risk with his family or him, I would bring that up to a lawyer and see what can be done about your concerns. In the meantime, document everything.

He sounds so difficult to live with omg! You’re allowed to set boundaries for spending time with family but it sounds like there’s some domestic violence going too with how QUICK he gets angry over basically nothing, if this has happened consistently and you’ve tried everything to make it work then leave. Trust me you’ll be at so much peace bc I’ve been there and done that but it seems like he isn’t cooperating or changing his ways even with a baby for him to hit a wall is just childish, throwing tantrums like that in front of your child 🤦🏻‍♀️

He sounds like he'd give me a massive headache. You don't need 2 children, you've already got 1. If he can't step up and sort out his moods or whatever, then he can step out and close the door. He needs to sort his own issues out...if that's even possible and not just parts of his personality, which doesn't sound attractive. You've enough to deal with. No one wants a moody man child

From someone who has just left a dv relationship, I wish I had left earlier.. I have a 4 and 2yo and they are now at an age where they are not coping without him even though he was horrible to them and me infront of them. They love him because he’s their dad, but they were also scared of him. If he’s hitting you on the face what’s going to happen when your little one grows up and he gets angry at her? I know it’s hard because they play the nice guy then you fall back into the trap, honestly you and your baby deserve so much more 💜 I also have no family where I am and it’s tough but we’re getting by, the house is so much calmer and we are so happy!

Girls I LEFT ON CHRISTMAS!!!
So I was pregnant of few weeks. And on Christmas Eve, we got into an argument over his mom AGAIN. So anyway, what happened is he threw me on the ground out of NOWHERE and was about to box my face I pushed him with my legs and screamed. Our baby was in the same room and she screamed out of fear. I ran away then he attempted to throw a plastic bottle to me. I ran outside of the house and called police. Filed for DV, they arrested him. I left his house with the baby the same night and went to a friend house then I flew to my country. I bled after the incident. I think I’m doing a miscarriage. But if not I have planned an abortion for next week. I feel bad for this but I feel already RELIEVED. My BRAIN isn’t listening anymore to his ABUSE words and I m not anymore worry about BS.

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️
