I really don’t know what to do in terms of where I go with my relationship with my partner. Im starting to feel fed up extremely now. First of all there is absolutely no affection, no sex, no kissing, no cuddling, no hugs. I feel like we are just roommates with a baby at this point. I cant be vulnerable around him because he just completely dismisses my feelings with everything. The relationship absolutely bores me. Alls he does is come home and sleep. Doesn’t help with anything, doesn’t really take me on, doesn’t really take our 9 month old on. I feel really sorry for my son. Says he loves me and every time Ive tried to leave he begs me not to but alls I can feel is he feels the opposite to what he is telling me and honestly now Im questioning whether I love him or not. I don’t really want to sleep in the same bed as him anymore. I feel like what is the point? Ive spent some nights even more so recently on the couch because I cant sleep knowing he is there. Resentment has just been growing since our son was born and some reasons I know why but I don’t know how it has got so bad. All he is focused on is money. I stay home with my son because he isn’t in nursery yet and we have no other options and cant get him in till September so I have no money at all. He has 5,500 coming in a month and not a single penny is given to me to pay the bills that go out of my account. Ive been living off of compensation money. Just to add I have paid for TWO of his vehicles with my compensation money from when I was raped before we met and not got a penny back either even though he knows I have nothing. It never feels like we work as a team when I feel like it should be but If I ask him for any money it’s the same argument of well you should work for your money. What does he expect me to do? Split myself in two? Keeps talking about having more kids with me and proposing to me but never has sex with me and apparently doesn’t have enough money to propose like what? He only pays the rent at 450 a month and then pays insurance on his van at 50 a month. Where is all the rest of this money going from 5,500/6000 grand a month. He is always on the phone with friends when he isn’t sleeping I wouldn’t mind but he sleeps all through the night and Im constantly up with my son and have always done the night wakes with him so Im exhausted as well. Its like he does everything possible to just pretend we aren’t there, to not interact with us.

I’ve been there and living this hell now. Have been for over 21 years. I stayed for the kids and because I had no where I could go and take them with me. I didn’t work until these past 2 years. I had numerous affairs, because all he did was push me away. I opened the marriage in Dec. He started talking to multiple women and within weeks was telling them that he loved them sending nudes to them and was going to move out and be with the one of them. Come to find out “she” was fake and scammed him out of $1500. This isn’t the first time either about three years ago he was blackmailed for sending those same kind of pictures for over $3000. Unfortunately I read it all and he couldn’t deny any of it.. He said the most awful things and was so disrespectful about me. Please honey try to get as out as soon as you can. He’s trying to trap you. RUN!

Sounds a lot like my ex husband. I’m so thankful I don’t have a kid with him and I genuinely feel for you and your son. I started sleeping on our couch with one of our dogs and we fought all the time. There was no affection either. For months. I could never do or be enough for him and whenever I tried to be he dismissed me and my efforts. I eventually had enough once the emotional had turned physical and I emotionally checked out. He’s my ex for a reason and I genuinely hope you’re able to get out for you and your son. It’s so much more difficult when you have a kid involved so I hope you’re able to find the resources you need for the both of you.
