I think I hate my husband

So long post but I feel like I’m living with a narcissist and I’m starting to lose my mind. I met my husband when I was 11 (in Europe while visiting my family home) I knew then he was going to be my husband. Obviously being long distance and being little kids, we didn’t start dating till I was 16. He was great, or maybe it was the honeymoon phase? He moved to Canada about a year and a half later and has been here since, I am now 27 he is 30. We have 2 kids together, a 4 year old & 16 month old … my kids are my world. He’s a great dad when it comes to the physical aspect but would he be great if I wasn’t there watching them all day, having all their meals prepped, bath time ready and everything else that comes along with kids.

I work full-time, remote but it’s still very high demand. I was responsible for finding the childcare and running around the town trying to find someone suitable. I do all the cooking, cleaning, appointments, paying of bills; anything that you can think of I do it … all of it. I just had surgery on Wednesday to have a cyst removed so obviously I haven’t been very mobile, but without my mom’s help I would have died of starvation, we probably all would have. He told me today to get the f*** up and stop over exaggerating. Constantly belittling me telling me to take a look at how I look, am I not embarrassed and much worse. Also been finding an immense amount of porn on his phone which is disgusting and it’s funny because not even one girl on those videos looks anything like me. I feel like I’m constantly being gaslit, stepped on, I’m mentally physically and emotionally exhausted and I’m not sure I have any desire to be with him.

I have 0 care for sex & even when we do have sex it’s all for him, nothing for me. It’s boring. My mom has been here cooking all the meals, cleaning, watching the kids and he’s for some reason still frustrated even though he’s had to do fuck all. I’m angry, unhappy & stressed but he makes me feel like I’m the crazy one. Without me the world would stop turning

Come on now. You know your aren't crazy. Please stand up for yourself. Why are you allowing yourself to be gaslit and treated like a maid? This is your husband but he treats you like shit. If one of your friends told you their husband did all of this to them, what would you say? You know this is wrong yet somehow you are allowing yourself to stay. Because at this point I truly do not see a reason why you need to be married to him. He does not like you or love you. A man who truly cares for you would not treat you this way. Sure you may say, why doesn't he just leave? Because it's convenient for him. He has someone who will cook, clean, and fuck him and he doesn't have to do much. You don't have to be in this type of relationship. Since your mother is helping, use her help to find suitable childcare and do this on your own. Do not waste more years on this man. You are young, you can meet someone else who will treat you right. He should be ashamed of himself but he isn't. Why would he?

Staying with him is being a door mate for a horrible man. Eventually your children will see how he treats you and will think this is appropriate behavior

It’s him, it’s definitely him. I am sorry he is treating you this way. He’s just trying to bring you down. That is not ok. None of that is ok. ❤️

First take a deep breathe mama! And embrace a virtual hug from me
congratulations on your babies! I work remote too and can relate and think it’s probably harder
Im glad you have your mom and your work and can advise to start looking into separating for the sake of your mental health. Some men may be better fathers and horrible partners but per what you’re saying, his good parenting may even be bcos you are present. Its hard but you’ve got this. Sending some peace, love and light your way

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.
