how do I leave an unhappy marriage?
Me and my husband have been together over 7 years married 4 years and things between me and my husband have been changing. He works construction and right now it's slow so he hasn't been working. We live in a studio along with our 5 and 3 year old. When ever my husband would be at work I would feel more relaxed and when I looked at the time and notice my husband would be home soon I started panicking if the room was clean enough if all he needed would be in its place. But now that he is home all day we argue alot. Everything I do bothers him I never do anything right everything has to be his way. I am a very emotional person so evertime we argue I end up crying. I am truly not happy anymore but I can't gather the strength to walk away. Specially since I have always been a stay at home mother so financially I depend on him.
In answer to your question, Put plans into action. Prepare to be on your own with a job.
Is he good with the kids, maybe you could train for a temporarn entry level secretarial position ? he might be more than happy to have some extra $ coming in . The size of your accommodations may drive any two adults a little crazy . and only extra money can help.
It will help you two fold, if you decide to leave, you'll be in a better position to do so. It only takes 6 hours to be trained in Excel and get temp work in offices. My advice to you is to stay away from factory cleaning jobs etc. They don't pay as well and you can hurt your back (like i did) An office job will also allow you to interact with other adults. and make some friends.
Tell him you understand that the place is too small and you want to help. If he continues to disappoint you, you ll soon be able to leave.
Let us know how you're doing. This is a great place for emotional support.
I'm here if you ever need to talk.

I think you could be more independent of him, sometimes when we are stuck at home we become too needy, have you some friends as that can help a lot, Its hard when kids are that age ,you dont get a lot of time for you.I remember going through similar, try to stay busy and dont let your thoughts over whelm you ..
