Together for 13 years, married for 7 of them. Two children, many animals. Things have changed (as expected) since having children. I feel like I’m constantly asking for more and more help from him and he’s now responding by saying he doesn’t know what more I want more him. “Clearly I can’t make you happy” was a response. We have very little family support. I don’t have anyone friends I can talk to and I’m feeling pretty lonely about the whole situation. I don’t have anyone friends money or time for myself so my life is either housework, mum life or in work (which is easier). Just feeling angry and sad and really scared.

I feel you on this one. It was hard with one child, having no family in this country and no really close friends nearby too, and now with 2 children it’s just exhausting and of course maintaining marriage is the last of my priorities sadly. I do believe that as children grow up a bit we will have more time to work through things with my partner so I don’t want to make harsh decisions at the moment because it’s just total chaos. Hang in there.
