Can't stand my husband!

This is my 4th pregnancy, and it's been the same every single one. I honestly just can't stand him. His presence, his voice, how he acts. I think maybe because I've got on with him doing bare minimum as I'm a sahm and he works and cknes back home late and tired, i just allow him to do minimal when it comes tonhome and children. But when I'm pregnant, it just annoys me. He's sick now, and honestly, it's the worst I've felt about him. I dont want to leave him. I just don't want to be near him at ALL. And when hes sick, he acts like suuuchh a baby. Whilst when I'm sick I have to continue looking after the children. He says they call it "man flu" as if that's an excuse to be such a baby about it. And gets upset when I don't tend to him saying "nobody's looking after me so I not getting better" All my other children are sick at the moment. Honestly, to look after him, a grown man on top of a 3 year old, a 2vyear old, and a 11month old just makes me sick. I tell him you need to make an effort yourself. When I'm sick I need to make an effort. But he will just lie there and shiver. I'm just so disgusted and sickened by him at the moment and even more so because he's sick. Sorry. Just a rant.

Why keep having back to back kids with him?

Sounds like youā€™ve tolerated this for a long time and heā€™s just gotten used to it. Set some boundaries and have that convo for your sanity. Itā€™s hard to keep a relationship and love going for one another if thereā€™s a lot of resentment.

Then it's time to have a serious talk with him. Be blunt and honest about everything. Also, don't give him access to your womb anymore because obviously he doesn't know how to act like a real partner. If you can, leave him with the kids for a few hours. Let him get a taste of what you go for every day.

Have a heart to heart talk with him and require him to do moreā€¦when he is not tired and not doing much of anything ask him to help and let him know thatā€™s what you need from himā€¦you canā€™t do it all by yourself even if he does workā€¦the resentment that is building within you can be super destructive to your marriageā€¦Forgiveness is key even though he is not giving you what you need around the house and with the kidsā€¦he is human and try and resolve that conflict now when you are calm and not blowing up at himā€¦men are not wired the way we are, but if he loves you he will help out more around the house and with the kids because marriage is not selfish itā€™s selfless

This is not to be mean I sware...but why keep having kids with him? Surely it's no accident every time, we mothers know how getting pregnant works and steps to prevent it. It seems like his lack of being a present parent is what bothers you most so this is not entirely his fault if you continue to allow it and have kids with him. Also, you said you don't want to leave him...but can't stand his presence. That also seems confusing. If you choose to stay then you have to fix the problem by talking about these issues and addressing them head on otherwise they will just get worse and you are both to blame at that point. Sorry I really don't want this to sound harsh it's just the fact you keep having kids with him when you said he's like this with every one of them that makes it hard to empathize with the situation.

So why not just let him leave and someone else can appreciate him

@Honey @AngelšŸŖ½ @Jen pregnancies 1 and 2 planned pregnancy 3 got pregnant on the coil! Pregnancy 4 got pregnant got pregnant on the pill! So your guess is as good as mine, why I keep having children. Also, never did i mention i don't like him, but during pregnancy, I can't stand him. I said I don't want to leave him, so people understood that that's not what I'm saying. I'm not in a horrible hate, my husband situation. I just can't stand him most of my pregnancy.

I also am having a hard time understanding why you keep having back-to-back kids a year(ish) apart with him. Thatā€™s a HUGE undertaking, especially with an uninvolved partner. Definitely talk with him and share how you need him to step up more at home and with the kids.

@Andrea @Yasmina definitely a little resentment especially when he's sick and I know i need to set boundaries but other than being pregnant I like the dynamic. I like the opportunity of being a sahm mum I'm homeschooling and country living and because he has long days i allow him to rest and don't trouble him with house things. But when I am pregnant.. it does get to me.

@Sophie Jones let him leave? What?! Did I say i was holding him against his will?!

Why are you still with him & having your 4th child with him then?

Honestly think that you should have an honest conversation with him and let him know how you feel or maybe see a therapist might help with the feelings towards him. Praying for you girly. Hoping everyone in your family get better soon.
