Question - (2 December 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 3 December 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, *implisticcomplication writes:

My husband and i havae been together 3 years, married for 3 months and have a 2 months old daughter. He has always had anger issues but it seems since having our daughter it has gotten worse.

He works 48 hr shifts at a time so i only see him half the month but when we do see each other all we do is fight because he doesn't help at all with our daughter... and when we fight he goes straight to "well you can go live with your dad" or "i'm about ready to pack your ****".

no matter how hard i try to communicate or how much i do for him it seems like we are his burden.

what can i do to help him understand how much it hurts me, how i need his help at home, and most importantly... that his daughter needs her time with him?

thank you for any advice given.

Sweetie, this guy just isn't there at all. He's even threatened to leave and said you can any time. You can't make someone who isn't interested suddenly change. Many women in the same position have tried, and failed many times over. I know you're really hurting about it. And I know you want him to be there. But he doesn't give a damn. Leave and focus entirely on your own life and your daughter's. Don't waste any more time.
