just another vent

If I had a job, I would pack my bags right this second, go straight to where ever you file for child support, file, and never come back to this house. Thats all my daughter gets from my husband anyways.. and I get zero support other than financially. So there'd be NO difference.
This is whats happened today: I am 37+4 weeks pregnant with our son.. I have an 11 month old. I tossed and turned all night last night. Couldn't get comfortable.. then had to get up and give my daughter a bottle in the middle of the night and get her back to sleep. My husband was up late WAITING FOR ME TO GO TO SLEEP SO HE COULD SCREW ME! (His words not mine!). He had to get up at 6:30 and work from 7a-11a. His alarm clock woke our daughter up so I had to fet up with her. She went back to sleep around 7:45 but I had to start getting ready to take her to a doctors appt. So Ive been up since 6:30 after having a crappy night. So we get home and Keegan lays down fpr a nap, so does husband, and he says 'get me up when she gets up'.. well 25 mins later she wakes up. So i wake him too.. des he get up? Nope Just says Oh Keegan Im so tired I need to sleep. Uh hello, I havent slept, I didn't get a nap! So what makes him think he's so special and gets to sleep? Im freaking pregnant, exhausted, hurting, chasing after a baby.. yet his ass is in bed sleeping. I get zero help. And he wonders why I don't like him? He eats, sleeps, shits, and works. THATS IT! Ive tried to talk to him numerous times, it never works, maybe for 3-4 days.


Ugh. Vent over.

  • When I'm tired, I'm a monster. Maybe you're not stern enough with him. Tell his lazy butt to get up cuz your pregnant self needs a nap. Sheesh! I'm so sorry you don't have more help.

  • Maybe I'm just overly hormonal (37+4 here, too!) but when my husband slacks I like to beat him awake with my memory foam pillow I stuck in the freezer for 20 minutes. Just a thought :)
  • @rtmommy Ive stopped trying to get him up. Ive tried to make him understand for many months that she is his responsibility too.. he just doesn't care. He's so selfish. He puts himself first.

    @gatorbob LOL!

    @mrsstanley_X2 haha! I bet that gets his butt in gear! Mine would just lay and cry then act like I should take care of him.
  • He usually laughs and says I'm cute when I'm "murdery." Lol he is an ass, but usually helps. I hope your hubby gets his shit together fast!
  • I have the same selfish hubby problem
    And I hate him all the time too
  • ~X( Your husband makes me want to scream & pull my hair out. If we lived close to each other I would loan you my hubs for the day so you could see how it feels to have some help from a superdad, lol! I'm so sorry that you get no help, I can't imagine. And he only had to work 4 hours and needed a nap :-? Do you think he'll start helping more after baby #2 arrives? My guess is no?
  • Geeze, I wonder if we're living with the same guy lol . I wonder if it's because they work that they think they're exempt with helping with their children *sigh** ~X(
  • I'd kick him in the nuts next time he tries to "screw you in your sleep"
  • @mommylovessparkle its horrible isnt it? I judt dont understand their thinking?

    @baileygoose I'd have no idea what to do with myself if I had a superdad around. I wasnt sure those even existed. He's good with our daughter the 30 minutes he gives her attention. He keeps saying "you do realize I'll have to help more when #2 gets here, right?" But that will never happen. I don't expect one single thing to change. And yep, just 4 hours. And its not even physical labor. He is a 911 dispatcher, so he sits in an air conditioned room, in a padded seat, with internet and tv! Nothing that could tire him out!!!

    @usplus2 sometimes I do think that is the oroblem.. he sees my title as "SAHM" so I should have to do it all. But what I dont understand is, does he not want the quality, bonding time with her? She's learning and growing and changing so quickly and he's missing out. Ive got such sweet memories and bonding times I'll always remember when she gets bigger... he doesn't.

    @sands3 I kick and push and yell and when I wake up he seriousky says "Lanette, whats wrong with you? Why are you hitting me?" Like he pretends he wasnt bother me or doing anything at all.
  • It's just so sad :-S and you are right, he is missing out on so much! It is so hard to understand. Isn't it sad too that when you married him you probably never anticipated him to parent like this? Do you think this is how he was raised?
  • That's messed up! Hopefully things get better soon. My husband used to not help at all but he's changed alot. He's never tried to force himself on me tho. That's wrong! Is it your husband who's the preacher/pastor?
  • Did you wake up at my house? Lol. My husband is the EXACT same way!
  • If i were you I would go on strike!!!! Stop doing things for him. Just take care of you and your lo. Dont make him any food, do his laundry, or anything else he expects you to do for him. I did it to by bd for a week and he has totally changed. I get so much more help from him now.

    I hope it gets better but if he's not willing to change then he never will and that makes him not worth your time of effort
  • Aww you poor thing. I'm hella cranky when I don't get sleep. I can't imagine how it feels not to be able to sleep while pregnant. He needs to understand that you're just as tired as he is. I had a talk with bd and ever since then I get a lot more help from him.
  • Wait, he says he waits for you to fall asleep so he can screw you? Like he doesn't want you to be awake for it or something?
  • Lay your daughter next to him and leave!!! Seriously, when my hubby gets home he takes care of the kids while I finish cleaning, then....here it comes...he does dishes, every night! He busts his ass all day with hard physical labor and still comes home to help the girls and house WITH me. He's a Father and a Husband...that doesn't stop because he has a day job. Your Hubby needs to get off his ass, be a MAN and help you! Oooh that would piss me off!!!

  • He needs to be taken outside and beaten to bloody mess. Seriously he works ad a 911 dispatcher and yet he fails to see what he is doing is RAPE.

    I know how frustrating it gets when you don't get sex ever but still it's called respect.
  • I feel ya...I'm up all night with baby and my 2 yr old . I don't work bc I got laid off. He does work and during the week I try to let him sleep...he does sleep alot too. But I can't complain bc weekends he helps out alot and also he will get up with the kids so I can sleep in. We also switch days so he sleeps in Sat morning I get Sun mornings:)
    Your hubby should help more especially during pregnancy...that's alot of work...plus no sleep at night is harder.
  • My husband said when you wake up and he says "Lanette what's wrong? why are you hitting me?" Just look at him and say "because you are raping me". I cannot imagine why any man would ever want to just 'take it' that's disgusting and how he could even get pleasure out of it when he is basically raping you is beyond me. It sounds to me like he may have a sex addiction. I have read his post I usually just ignore them... in one post (about sex of course) he mentioned marriage counseling...I personally think he needs counseling for himself not marriage. I hope I'm not out of line saying this but your husband seriously pisses me off. He knows exactly what you are feeling because you post it on pregly and he can see it. He knows everything that he is doing wrong and exactly how to fix it because you tell us what you want from him yet he has not attempted to do anything about it. There is no doubt in my mind that if my husband had a pregly account to see my vents about him he wouldn't do everything in his power to fix the problem. I don't know how things are with @dadof2n1togo and his marriage lately, the only updates I have seen are about his health but I guarantee if he knew what his wife was thinking and feeling he would stop at nothing to make her happy. All of your husbands post have been about sex (that I have seen) it seems like he doesn't care to fix the relationship he just wants sex. I would leave him,
  • @second_time_mommy7
    Thanks for thinking of me lol. My marriage is still roughly the same but we haven't been arguing as much lately. Intimacy etc is still non existent but I think it's going to take some time while my health returns fully.

  • :) I think you are a great man! Why wouldn't I think of you when giving an example of a devoted husband?! I just remember you always wanting to know a women's opinion on how you wife was acting, I could just see it if she had pregly and you knew what she was thinking, you would be doing all kinds of stuff to make your relationship better! Lol your wife is a lucky lady! Are you able to be intimate (health wise)? Has this experience changed her out look in any way?
  • @second_time_mommy7 there is nothing stopping intimacy except her lack of interest. We have a night no kids on Saturday and spending it away from home so hopefully things can be cleared up a little bit.
  • @dadof2n1togo Awh that's awesome! What are your plans?! Romantic night?!
  • are you sure your not talking about my husband? im going through the same thing after all these of convincing myself things will change ive come to the conclusion...THEY WONT! im slowly distancing myself because he brings the worst out of me and i dont want to expose my daughter to what ive been exposed to but like u im unemployed.you wont feel like this forever..set goals and accomplish them one by one till you can find YOUR happiness again whether its with or without him...it might take a long time & u might lose patience but youll get there,i promise :)
    ive almost accomplished my first goal (purchased a car cuz asshole took over mine,its junk anyways lol) next step a job & im not gonna tell him how much i make so i could put security money aside.your situation is all to familiar so if u need to talk im here hun :)
  • @second_time_mommy7 going on a houseboat for 1 night alone then 3 nights with the kids and her family. We do it every year but wasn't sure it would happen this year but her sister has organised it and paid for it all.
  • Awh that will be fun! That was sweet of her sister! Is the first night completely alone or will there be other adults there? You better do it right! Bring on the romance:) remember even if you make it all about her you will still benefit ;) lol
  • Then again he washs hers and our clothes and bottles, cleans the whole bathroom but its just he hasnt fed the baby in months maybe cause shes so attached to me but i need i break too
