Has anyone else left their partner after having their first child?
After two years of feeling like a single parent in a marriage (together 8 years, married for 4years.)
I've had enough...
We had a blow up a couple weeks ago where I told him that if things didn't change, I want a divorce.
He has made an effort with somethings, but it doesn't feel like enough. And feels like it's to little to late...
I do all the house work, take care of all the bills minus the mortgage, I take care of the food shopping, childcare arrangements, meals....pretty much all of it as well as working a rotating roster of late and night shifts at work... which I have to drive an hour to get to.
He works 6 days a week.
He has started to do dishes a couple times a week, started to shower a little more often. And had stopped body shaming me... masked as "jokes"...yes, I'm a curvy/heavier set lady... but I'm happy with my body and currently weigh less than I did when I got pregnant.
He used to nag me for sex all the time even though I never wanted it.
I have started to try making the effort to have sex with him more often... but it's difficult when I simply am not interested.
I've come to the realisation that, although I love him as our child's father... I am no longer IN love with him.
I'm scared and sad about it, but I know I have to do something about it....
Please help 🙁🥺

I think your brave and amazing for being able to acknowledge the way your feeling a lot of women just settle and put up with it whereas your able to identify where your not happy and you know you need a change that’s something to be proud of tbh
