Hi,
So my husband and I been together 6 years, 3 years as parents.
I’m at this point in my marriage that I’m just so tired of repeating the same thing about the same issue which is that he doesn’t contribute to household anything.
At first I was trying to be understanding of his work load but so many times I’ve voiced my frustration about mental load of having 2 kids under 2 that I’m so overwhelmed with house work, I also work part time as well as being a wife.
I feel like I’m parenting 3 kids..
he says just tell me what needs to be done but we all live in the same space I shouldn’t have to tell him every little things that needs to be done. But when I do ask for help, he says okay but it never gets done.
I feel like I can’t rely on him for anything and I feel resentment when he just lays down and goes on his phone as him “spending time with the kids”
Even sex is so one sided. No foreplay just straight in and done because he’s “ tired”
At this point I feel like it’s easier to just be single parent but I worry that kids needs their dad. We haven’t spoken in a week because I’m out of words and he’s not the type to talk first and waits for me to smooth things over every time.
I just want some advice of women in same situation or have experienced the same thing.
Just wanted to add this is my 2nd marriage but first marriage thankfully no kids were involved.

I experienced the same thing with my ex husband (no kids involved thankfully). But I understand the “have nothing left to say thing”. One day we went out for lunch and drinks and he said “you look so fed up and bored” and I thought… yeah I am. The following week we sought divorce.
I’m not saying that’s best in your situation at all, just to follow your instincts. They are normally correct.

I can relate girl

Kids are better off when their mom is happy- every time! Kids don’t do well when they grow up watching their parents be in relationships just cuz of the kids. It’s a lot of unnecessary pressure on the kids. We are our kids first role models and part of that is showing them what a healthy relationship looks like. Do you want your kids growing up and repeating this dynamic?
