As I type this, my 2 boys are in bed and my husband is out again after work. I’m at the end of my tether and don’t really know what to do.

I work full time. In a fairly stressfully job. I HVe managed to sort my hours so I can be home at 4 to cook, spend time with the boys and generally run the house. My husband gets home anywhere between 630 and 8pm.

He regularly goes out to play golf, occasional nights out. Stays away.

I don’t do anything. My life is dictated by his working hours.

I get comments about the untidiness of the house. How it’s my responsibility to make sure the children don’t wake up early.

I do all the after school clubs and football training.

I did all the night wakings with the boys and still do. I do all the cooking and washing.

At this moment in time I am at the end of my tether. I try to discuss it, but it’s always thrown back at my face. I am so stressed.

We have been together about 13 years now. I don’t think it’s OK for me to bare the brunt of everything.

Yes he earns more money, but he hasn’t scarificed his career for the children.

This isn’t healthy is it?
