Should I divorce my baby's daddy?

Ok, I pay all bills and am the "breadwinner" of the family. He's good with our 6 month old son, and saves me a lot of money by keeping him while I work night shift as a nurse. The reason I'm questioning this is that yesterday, he told me he was at his pizza place job, but really didn't even go to work and got drunk all day. Very very very drunk. And lied about it (that's what I'm mostly mad at). Then he proceeded to tell ME what a p.o.s. I was...though I pay all bills...I am just beside myself. I need advice. (Since baby born this is his first f up, but he had f'd up many times before baby born).

    Really?

    How PETTY.

    Yeah lady, fv(k out on your husband AND kid because you're selfish. Seriously....try to have some understanding and COMPASSION for the poor bastid.

    It really is a shot to the ego when the woman is winning the bread. He might be depressed.

    BTW---YOU? pay the bills? If you couldn't work would your husband be like "I pay all the bills." As if you don't JOIN TOGETHER? Your finances should be SHARED....you're greedy TOO.

    I suggest you go take a good long fv(king look in the mirror before you go divorcing the man, who CLEARLY made a mistake.

    At the end of the day your a mother - do you want your child in that situation, a baby who is totally dependant on another? If he's drinking all day, then he must me wasted when you go to your shift and he has the baby?? That's not a good situation is it!?

    It's not just you anymore, and sure, if it was still just you perhaps you could be willing to overlook this f*** up, again - but, it's time to stand up for yourself, for your baby and really think hard about what kind of environment you want to model for your son - because if it is, then your son will grow up thinking the same behavior is ok! It's not ok!

    I am also a Nurse, you have good job security, decent pay and you don't have to rely on him for money to survive!! That is excellent! You can walk away knowing you can provide for both you and your son :-)

    Honestly, you are the one that has to deal with the outcome. I guarantee you that if you divorce him, you will drown in regret. Sweetheart, the grass is never greener on the other side. Think about the 80/20 rule, you divorce him and marry another guy then there are things that you hate that he doesn't do that your ex-husband did. The point is, you will not find a 100% great relationship. Encourage your husband and help him find ways to better himself, I promise you will make the marriage stronger.

    Strictly your decision here and you must decide when enough is enough and youre not going to take his crap anymore. Then you decide whether youre better off with or without him and go from there. Youll be awarded custody with child support and he will get visitation rights but its all up to you or maybe he just needs a really good attitude adjustment along side the head with a cast iron skillet to start seeing the light here. Good luck and Happy Holidays

    I notice a lot of women asking questions taking the format - I married a complete looser, should I get a divorce?

    I just wonder what was going though their heads when they married these guys.

    In your case, your problem seems to be that you make more money than him. Well isn't that a little shallow in these days of equal opportunity? If you wanted a wealthy man, then you should have married one.

    if place of work work is filed in court---the defendant has 30 days to respond. concerns filed in court are a remember of public checklist and in case you ought to be certain they have particularly been filed. verify at your community county clerks place of work and be certain the information your boyfriend is offering. while you are the different woman in his life and if he's divorcing his spouse......don't be gullible and have faith something until eventually you spot and touch the reaction papers on your hand. adult adult males LIE LIE LIE

    Only your own heart can tell you when to call it quits. You do need to think of the baby. He doesn't belong with a man who is very very drunk.
