Me and my husband has been together for ten years and we had two kids. My husband was used to be a loving caring person toward me. Everything changed since we were in a situation when we have to strive so hard everyday to work and earn income to survive. Since i had my second child ( she is 9 months), he has never helped me with the house chore or even tried to look after my kids. He claimed that he was too busy at work and tired. But im working too you know. I have to go to work at 5am till 2pm 5 days a week then drove my kids from school, feed them cook meals and cleaned. I wouldnt have time for myself. Im very depressed at the cost of living plus the uncareness from my husband. We fought a lot and he often hit me when it happened. I wanted to divorce so bad but thinking abt my kids and also my income isnt high as his, how am i going to pay the mortgage and everything. I really scared my kids will have a worse life. But i am really stressed. I felt everyday is torment. House is a jail. I felt i couldnt cope with everything. I wish i just have a better income source that I can provide my children, buy off the house and leave him. What should i do

And MaryDDD, it is great you have friends. Keep them close. It makes a big difference to be able to share your experience with them, as they maybe having the same problems. I recommend Desiderata (things desired). It has saved me many times and helps my mind soften and relax and feel some peace of mind if only for a moment. It's a comforting read.

He doesnt do anything related to the house chore. His weekend sometimes he goes our with friends or focus on his car work ( as he is mechanic). I wouldnt complained if he loved his job but still share the income between us to help me with the stress of inflation. He kept the money he earn extra himself. Thats ok i guess it he earn it hard but i earned my money hard too. I cant save anything because i have to split half of my income to mortgate then for food grocery, kid child care fee bill etc. I felt bad because i cant afford to have my own things to go out with friends or even looking after myself. He is so selfish at all the time. Idk how long i can keep myself being with the person i began to hate.
