annoyed..venting..

I'm a mother of 2 and I'm 10 weeks pregnant. I go to school and I work plus I care for the children and my so doesn't do any housework or cooking. He has been staying out late drinking, nightly.... I just now confronted him but he doesn't understand or won't admit that our loads are not even! He has one job and doesn't even have work every day because he works in construction and when he does work it's only for 3-6 hours per day. When he's not at work, he is out playing and drinking and he goes to the same casinos. Uhgggggggg I want to leave him!! He has a new friend who pulls the same crap on his wife of 16 years and she puts up with it and I swear that they go cheat with women together! I mean he is gone for hours!

Oh my goodness, this would not float with me.  Have you asked him what kind of dad he wants to be?  Did his dad leave the family to go drinking and gambling? do you think he has an addiction issue going on?  Alcoholism is progressive and gambling is as well in terms of addiction.  It gets worse over time.  Is he depressed?

But no, it doesn't sound fair.  this wouldn't work for me.

Can you swing it on your own?  (living expenses and such)

My husband used to do the same thing I hated it I sat him down and talked to him after finding out about a previous pregnancy he had and why he distanced. Himself I had a long and harsh talk with him he now does anything and everything I need workes 12 hr shifts a day I'm glad he changed because I told him if he didn't start acting like the farther the baby wouldn't have one even left him for a couple of days to prove it
