My baby is nearly 10 months old now and I’ve been having issues with my husband since then. I want to split up but he is refusing to giving me the divorce cause apparently I can’t afford the mortgage by myself and loves me. Plus I’m in the end of my maternity leave leave and I’m not sure how I will be back and taking care of my baby. So I feel like I’m such a bad place with no solution for myself.
Any advice would be much appreciated

My hubby and I started having issues the day baby came home. We have a 4 year old toddler that I am the bonus mom of. She wasn’t adjusting well at all. I tried to have multiple conversations about it with him and unfortunately it took me telling him if things don’t get better I’m leaving because I cannot do this. We implemented routine changes and stuff and that has helped. It took a lot of talking and arguments to get to the point we are at now but it has helped. If you guys aren’t able to have these conversations at home about each other’s feelings maybe a couples therapist could help. If you truly no longer have any love left for him in your heart then unfortunately divorce is the only option and you’d have to leave your home to find something within your budget of being single income. You’d also have to be able to afford daycare unless your job lets you bring in your kids. You could look at daycare jobs and see if they offer a discount to employees but unfortunately they don’t pay
