I'm sorry to hear things haven't turned around for you. But I'm sorry I just have to ask this. Why would you stay there if you are that unhappy, you aren't married, and he's not meeting your needs. I know you stated that you don't want to put the kids through another break up...but hon, come on here!
Your children are going to feel the stress of an unhappy mom at home. I don't know if you two fight with them around or not, but they will feel the stress of the two of you not getting along as well.
This is just my humble opion here...but sometimes by leaving a situation you are unhappy in, especially after trying to correct it...you set a better example for your children than staying and enduring it.
You know...I remember Honeypot said in one of her posts that she was ready to make her H live as a roommate if he was going to behave as one. She meant move into another room and make it obvious to anyone who might enter the home...that this was a roomie situation. Perhaps, just perhaps you might try this approach too. You two aren't married afterall, perhaps you should make this a strictly roommate situation. When I say that I mean...no laundry, no cooking, no cleaning up his stuff (for him) none of those extras a SO gets.
That just might be a wakeup call for him....
Honeypot...Aren't ya proud of me? An 18 mo old at home, minimal sleep and I'm still able to retain information...well, ok some information...well, a little at least....what was I saying?
