MrsJLS I understand how you feel. You are a lovely caring person and your H is a fool not to value you. I live not all that far from you, I'm a bit older than you and have 2 young kids. My advice... if you want a great family life then both parents need to be ultra supportive because it's hard work (and can be the most fantastic rewarding thing ever in life). Your H doesn't sound like he wants to do that. If you do go on to have kids together and then the M fails... then I can assure you it is really tough, way more difficult than a couple splitting. I admire you for trying to save your M.
