When I was pregnant to my second child, my hubby just told me that he will go out to find a job. He was unemployed and I am already on my sixth month with my pregnancy. We have a three year old daughter already and I am the only one who is working for us. I am getting very mad on that thought that I have to be the breadwinner while he just stayed at home doing nothing. We have a maid to help me out to do the house chores and to take care of our eldest daughter. Meaning, he is not really helping out at all! Now our baby is already six month old and I still haven't heard from him. I felt relieved when he just left us. I don't want to live with a lazy-irresponsible husband forever. I am just worried he might come back.

I have a relative that is within the same condition as you. But she was already gave birth. The saddest thing is that the lazy-irresponsible man is never seen after the event. No anything from him and that my relative still waiting for him.And don't want to stop waiting for him as she said she's waiting for the sake of the kids.I doubt it is true that he will still come back, he's not worth to be waiting if i am in my relative shoes. As for you if you are thankful to be left, tell him directly if he will come back. That no need for him to stay. Be open and honest to the situation. Let him go so that your life will become worry and stress free life without him.

Sometimes women are blinded about the fact that the children may not actually need to have their father around. I'd rather raise kids without a father than setting a bad example for them. They might be scared to get married when they grow up if they see that their mother is the one who provides for the family while their father is not doing anything productive.

From your discussion, I can tell you tht you are a strong, harworking woman. Why do you need such a man anyway. Please just kick him off even if he comes back. He is just good for nothing anyway.

That is exactly what I am saying. If he comes back and then you show him he is not welcomed, I do not think he will stay.

Hello cherriefic, I also think it was better for you that he left.But really its very bad for a man to leave his kids and wife when they all need him dearly. May be he was also frustrated and knew that he has been a burden for you and thought it would be beneficial for you if he leaves. I think you must not presume before getting it clarified why he left.

After all that I've went through when he left, I think that whatever he's reason of leaving will not be valid. There are just some jerks who cannot stay when things seems to be getting hard already.He could have at least be around for moral support when I was giving birth. Oh well, it doesn't hurt a bit though.LOL!

Go girl. You don't need that kind of man in your life. When he comes back just tell him that you don't need him anymore.

I will do that in case he tried to go back. But the last time I talked to him, I already told him that if he comes back, he's no longer welcome. I guess that I already shut him off. Hopefully he will not do another attempt again.

God Bless You, friend. I know how hard having a baby and a husband like that (thanks God mine is responsible). But you know what, I'm so proud of you, you have enough courage and fighting spirit to live your own and being independent. A husband like him should be given lesson. Maybe you should move into other house so he won't find you easily and I know you don't really have 100% peace of mind because even how hurt and how mad you are to him, in your heart you still care a little, the fact that he's the father of your children. Just always lean to God and asks God's strength, I know you can make it, girl.

Thank you all for all the nice words. I guess that I have been keeping this to myself for quite sometime now. Never thought I will share it here in MyLot! Well, it made me feel better.:)

I know it will not be easy but I guess it is easier to live without him. Did I mentioned aside from being irresponsible he was also an emotional beater? I mean, he did not hurt me physically but emotionally, he did it whenever possible. I'm just glad it's over.

Oh, when i read the topic title i thought there is some worry still about what happened to him and what was wrong and why he did not come back. You are a very strong woman/person who obviously know how to handle things. Do not be worried when he comes back, you can always tell him he cannot stay with you anymore, etc. I think though you need to still acknowledge the fact that he is your children's father and even if you can live without him, you cannot deny that he is the father of your children. I wish you well and your kids too. Hope when your husband gets back, he already has changed and is willing to be the head of the family.

Good riddance that he left as there is no point of having a husband who is only a free rider but forget his responsibilities as a provider to his family. It is better to be a single parent and be happy with your roles in parenting than having to feed an extra mouth and setting a bad example to the kids having a jobless father who is good for nothing.

Hi Cherriefic, Welcome to Mylot! Your husband sounds like a typical jerk to be honest. I can understand why you wouldn't want him back in your life. It's hard to be a single parent and even harder when you have an adult that acts as a child himself. I understand your fear of him coming back but from what I'm reading here, you are a very strong woman. Just kick his butt to the curb and even if he comes back with a job. You are entitled to child support and if he is working you should push to make sure you get at least that from him. You should also get some legal papers drawn up regarding custody and child support. These can be done without a lawyer and it is important.

Let me apologize first for asking this: Why did you marry him at the first place? Why did he leave? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

LOL, you are funny...I don't see any reason he would want to return after being such a jerk..and I would think that you would be in control of letting him back or not..Now I am not saying h should not see his children, because that would be totally wrong..But as u stated who wants to live with a lazy-irresponsible husband...There are ways and means of supporting yourself and have a little piece of mind. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and good luck to you and the childern.

Your husband must be fed up. I don't know why he left you but I'm hoping for the best for your family. Hope he will come back as a responsible human being. =)
