Marriage problems

Does anyone else feel like they are married just not to not make their child come from a broken home ?
My Husband and I used to be amazing and have never had any issues between our selves at all other than ones caused by his family.
They are just the most toxic and entitled. They are chipping away so hard at my marriage to the point where I am
Holding for our baby.
I want to leave behind anything to do with this family and extended family of his and him. But we have a baby together.
Wtf do I do ?? I can’t take this anymore.
I have decided to cut all ties with every single family member of his and he’s fine with that but it’s just being here 100 miles from my own family and friends.
Just completely isolated

Ngl i used to have marriage problems and the only thing that fix it was leaving it. My ex ended things and it was such a good decision, so much I wish I would’ve ended things sooner. Get friends, get up on your feet. It’s better to have a peaceful parent than two parents not getting along. It will hurt and be hard but there’s no price to your peace specially if you keep trying and it’s not working. Wish you the best!

Please do not stay just for the child. Its better for the child to have split parents and a happy mom then staying in a loveless unhealthy marriage. I promise if you leave and maybe go back to where you family is you will be soo much more happier. Just be careful traveling across state lines with your child. Look up local laws first.

I left 9 months pregnant with our second. I stayed for the same reasons but I have zero regrets about leaving. I do however have regrets about the time I stayed and what my 2 yo witnessed and the energy she was around.

Am I being difficult?

My 3yo goes to my in laws house once a week. I back a bag with his snacks, toys, clothes and PJs. They pick him up early morning, spends all day there the comes back bathed and ready for bed. My MIL keeps his clothes and I keep reminding them to return it. Once I ran out of vests and underwear because they were all there. I buy good quality clothes, vests and underwear. Before I could buy extra because I was working but now I'm on maternity leave. I just want his clothes back.

Lying parent

I have a 12 week old baby we live at my mums until we get housed but my mum smokes and hardly washes her hands so god knows what else shes touched.. she will then go into my room to see baby and touch his hands and when I ask if shes washed her hands she says yes but I know she hasnt so I then have to wash baby's hands but today he put his hands in his mouth before I washed them! She just wont listen to me and when I have a go she storms off like im the bad guy and tries to make me feel guilty.. will baby be okay do you think? He didn't suck on hands but just put them to his mouth

SAHM of 7 cannot compete with husbands co worker

Sahm of 7 who homeschools and has a husband who is a manager and works 50 hours a week. Thought I was doing pretty good until my husband got drunk and told me that he could be with top models that do way more (cleaning) for $20 then I do all day. He’s talking about his co workers who are young and have less children and who obviously work. I told him that I was trying and getting better at cleaning but not having a break was taking a toll on me. He continued to tell me how he was to ignore this honest hard working women while I who doesn’t deserve his loyalty can’t clean as well. I cried. I cannot compete. I’ve had hard pregnancies and this damn cooper iud is hard to deal with symptomatically. What should I do? Is this cheating? He’s with these women more than me.

Is it normal for your husband/partner/other half to not know baby's routine because they aren't the primary carer?

Like when I go out he always asks me what time dinner should and/or bedtime should be. I get he is working most of the time but he does do dinner and bedtime routine three days a week and has done since our baby was born so I feel like he should know by now.
