Rant - I’m really starting to feel like I’m better off alone

I am married to a great man, but he makes a terrible companion and life partner. I feel like my interactions with him are often a lower point of my day. Honestly he works a lot so I hardly see him as is and but he is around it’s is usually a low point of my day because he is rude or inconsiderate or is tired which is valid so he just sits on his phone or watches tv. I just feel like I’m his roommate anyways and I have come to a point where I’m tired of the arguments and conversations that lead to 0% change even though he does make an effort at first. I’ve come to be fine living in this mode and he doesn’t seem to care except. I don’t want to have sex with someone I have this kind of relationship with, and that’s the new big argument we should be having sex and it should be on me apparently to initiate is and all that. Like honestly I’m just done having sex (I’m also 6 months pregnant) and honestly I just feel like I would rather be his friend than his wife. I’m already living as such I feel like I’m just like might as well separate so then at least sex stops being an argument to. He is a great guy, he just doesn’t bring anything to the relationship really other than a paycheck and I think I’m just tired to thinking that could change, arguing, and expecting better. I feel like a roommate already maybe we would be better not married. It just sucks so much that we have a kid and another on the way.

Sounds like he could be tired of overwhelmed from being the provider, but he shouldn’t take it out on you! That’s literally the life of being a husband and a soon to be father. It’s the responsibilities of life! If he can’t see that he’s hurting you by doing so maybe yall are better off as just roommates . He shouldn’t take treat you with kindness while your carrying his child.

Have you guys tried or talking about trying marriage counseling? Maybe that would help.

I’m sorry you are going through this. Maybe it’s better that you guys separate if you can’t make each other happy but marriage counseling might be worth a try if you stay. It’ll either help you determine what to do or help your relationship. It kind of sounds like you guys need to start dating each other again. Spend time dedicated to prioritizing each other and having fun together, I know that’s easier said than done when life it busy with kiddos and work but your relationship is an important thing to prioritize

Maintenance

My son is now 6 weeks old. His dad and I aren’t formally together anymore although he comes over and we have had sex before the 6 week point - please no judgement.

He hasn’t paid a single thing apart from a few bits for our hospital bag before I went into hospital. The first few weeks after birth she bought nappies, laundry detergent and a few essentials. The last 3 he hasn’t bought a thing but come round to see us. Baring in mind the whole pregnancy he told me he didn’t want our son.

Does he think I should be grateful by his presence?

Friends

OK, I am putting myself out there. My name is Michaela. I have two children under five My daughter is six months. Her name is Irma. My son is four his name is infinite. Currently I am living at my grandmother‘s house. We are transitioning out of here, November 19 to move to Texas. Currently I am looking for a friendship where a woman is all about her healing if she is not physically capable of working or just putting her energy into anything on the outside of her children or herself she shouldn’t be doing anything other than that that is a relationship that I I am I am looking for a friend who is all about accountability. I am not looking for a friend who plays victim, I am not looking for a friend who is not about solutions, I am not looking for a friend who is continuing to stay in a broken relationship, where a man watches her struggle and she doesn’t demand more and continuing to stay and play victim I am looking for a friendship where I can be myself where I don’t have I had to mask who I am to make you feel comfortable because I will cut you off. I hold people accountable. I do not want people simply just cannot take advice because I am all those things. I am very accountable for my action. I am all about solutions. This is nothing against women who are currently in this situation I just no longer have the energy to put into a grown up this into where have to feel like somebody and I’ve just simply outgrown this frequency if you are interested in this type of friendship you are welcome to inbox me or this post thank you

Advice pls

So I’m not even sure where to start with this but a couple days ago I went into his phone because I had lost mine and was trying to find it but before I could even do that I saw a twitter notification that caught my eye and I went searching after that and found him commenting under a woman photo who was only wearing underwear telling her a compliment about her hair while yes it wasn’t anything sexual it the fact of it’s something I’m not comfortable with nor do I find appropriate we have had a talk in the past about him talking to woman who make content, I understand he has needs and while I’m pregnant he doesn’t want to have sex for the safety of our baby so I’ve left the subject alone but I’ve expressed before how I feel about the whole commenting thing, we got into a huge argument and he basically said he doesn’t see it as a problem so I said I would do what I think is best for me my mental health and our child but he basically threatened me with “what do I wanna do” were his words then said he doesn’t want to create a broken home but he can only do so much, honestly I don’t even know how to feel it’s simply something I’m uncomfortable with and he making it seem small and like I need to just get over it because he doesn’t do it often then said I shouldn’t have even gone on his phone then threw past mistakes in my face I don’t know how to feel or what even to say at this point he the type of person so act like nothing happened the next day but I’m not I really want to talk about it but he will just say I’m being negative when all I’m saying it I’m uncomfortable and it’s not right not while I’m pregnant, I literally cried myself to sleep the other night and was just hoping I’d go into early labor cause I just don’t know if I can do this anymore and I hate that I felt that way cause my baby has nothing to do with it but I’m usually not so emotionally but since getting pregnant I have been
