I really feel for you. What kind of example is your husband setting for your son? Children learn by what we do, not what we say. You and your child deserve better. Maturity is not just an age. He has a responsibility to you and his son to provide a stable home. It would be easier on you to support one than to support two. If he doesn't change, he will just drag you down with him. I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do. Remember, this is your life too.

I had some similar problems. Have you tried counseling? That could help. Bottom line...if the counseling doesn't work....then move on. You should be Happy!!!! You deserve to be happy! I eventually got divorced. I am now remarried and very happy.
I also had a child with my first husband. I stood my ground and told him that I will take custody of my son. You will not loose your child to a man who can not keep a job. It is very scary to think of doing it on your own. I never thought I could do it, but I did. I am now very happy today. I am with a man who makes me laugh every day and treats me like a queen. He also works his butt off to support his family!
Your child will eventually adjust! Why be miserable????? Your child will eventually come to know how you feel!!!!
I also quit work to take care of my son. To be honest....it did not work out. I really wanted to have that time with my son, but it was not realistic. We got way behind on our bills and I had to go back to work. We have to eventually face it.....some people have it easy like that...where they can stay home with there child. Right now...you have a man that can't keep a job. So I would def. say it is far in your future to be able to stay home. Most home based businesses do not work. Sorry to be a downer!!!!!

I had the same problem with my husband. Finally, I just started to go about my life as if he was not there, whether he was or not. I refused to do his laundry and primarily ignored him. After a week or two he got the picture. Mine has been out of work for 6 weeks and just went back to work this past week. He knows if he does not keep this job, I'm leaving him. I don't need an adult child to support as well as my actual children.
Pretty much you have to make up your mind you and not going to put up with this anymore and let him know.

Talk to him about what you want from him. Sounds depressed. Is he on drugs? Whatever, he needs to take responsibility. You have to decide if you can live with this situation. He will only change though if HE wants to so don't nag him to death about it. He'll only get resentful. You have a decision to make. Good luck!
Why would you lose your son? I know the unknown is scary but you'll be fine.

What was he like before you married him? if he was the same way and you thought he would change, you are now seeing what you should have then and never married him. But now you have a child and he needs to be come more responsible, , or you are going to have to make some hard decisions, and good luck with that one

You would enjoy your son more if you weren't so unhappy, and without a job he's hardly in the position to take your son. He'd have to prove you unfit for that, and that's pretty hard to do. Get rid of him, he sounds like a leech. Find someone who'll at least pull his own weight.

Your husband lacks the maturity for marriage. If he won't maintain a job, you cannot plan a future with him. You would be wise to chalk this one up and get out of the relationship, at least until he grows up. You don't need two children to raise.

What you have to realize now is that you do have a son and he should be first priority. You have to decide what is best for him. It sounds to me that not only does your husband care about working for himself he doesn't care about being a provider for you or your son and you both deserve more.

problem is there are no consequences for his behavior, he acts so immature and isn't responsible enough to have a family. he is still a teenager in his mind. make him leave for awhile, if he doesn't straighten up, u may have to get a divorce, and move on and find someone who is willing to be a partner in life. there has to be consequences for his behavior.

Start drinking heavily. Or you could just do what every other normal person in the world does, and leave his sorry ***.
Hope this helps.
