I Need Advice

Hey everyone,

If you actually read all of this thanks in advance 馃挄

So I'm the type to live in my head quite a lot. So it would be good to get some opinions of others , maybe some have more experience or just see things from a different perspective.
So I'm married and have a 5 month old baby. My husband doesnt help with the baby, I rear him basically myself. All he does is get milk or nappies and that is with money that he doesnt earn (aka government)
He stays out. Alot. Several hours daily. ( if hes not working ) We dont do much together, I am alone most of the time. I made a lot of sacrifices to be with him and they included moving away from family and leaving a lot of friends he didnt like. On his days of, I am the one initiating outings ( before all the craziness went down) he never initiated anything. He initiates things with his friends, plays online games with them. I told him to get games we could do together as a family, I tell him to spend more time with his daughter. It doesnt happen. He says he will but no results. We dont have breakfast,lunch or dinner together hell eat out with his friends most of the time. It seems like he is perfectly fine if we dont eat together like normal couples do , it's okay if he spends more time with his friends then he does with me and his daughter. I dont feel like a priority to him the way he is mine , I feel like he has more importance in his friends.
So now it his day of and I did not ask to do anything, it didn't happen. He has been out for about 5 hours straight and I feel so miserable and alone. I dont depend on him to be happy, I have hobbies and I enjoy my alone time. At the moment I am not looking to make any friends as I feel I dont really need them to be happy but I should at least get the same from him as I put in,yes. Or am I just overreacting ? Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Being a 'Dad' isn't a choice. It's a commitment.
Being a partner and a temporary one at that. Is fine. IF you do it from a distance.

You don't have to give up your friends. But you DO have to give up your single life !

It IS hard. It's SUPPOSED to be ! When you take on the idea of being there for a partner and YOUR child it's SUPPOSED to invoke a necessity to WANT to provide for them both. And it doesn't have to be all about money, it's also about time; effort; learning what you can do for both of them !

If it doesn't, then you are NEITHER !
So what good are you ?

@Forlorn was meant to say *did have a dad * hes passed away
It doesn't sound like he loves you or your child very much, love does fade away, he needs to step up and take some responsibility. I think he's using you. He knows he has a place to lay his head at night. Give him a wake call. It can't be a one person marriage and two parents are better then one. He has some growing up to do. Ask him does he still love you. Anyways you deserve better
Good luck

You need to spell it all out for him how you鈥檙e feeling and how this affects you. Be truthfully honest with him. If no change after that, turn to your family and friends for advice and help
