Stressed and sad

I'm sitting here with my sleeping 15 month old DD on my lap looking at her and feeling sad for her that my Xh and I can't seem to get along, no matter how hard I try. He has a rotating schedule for work so he is always just telling me when he wants to see her, he nevers asks if he can see her, he tells me when he wants her and if I say we have something going on I am made to be the biggest B ever! Its so stressful and frustrating dealing with someone who only thinks of himself. He took vacation next week, you'd think he would make time to spend time with her. I even asked him to watch her while I work next week....he is going to the beach. He told me I was nagging when I got frustrated. I hope this gets better before DD really starts understanding. It really sucks bc i my new bf is amazing with his nieces/nephews and my DD, I often wish he was her dad. My XH has turned into a person that I don't even know and it makes me sad that I even married him but if I hadn't I wouldn't have my DD so I don't want to say I regret marrying him.
Sorry just needed to vent!

Re: Stressed and sad

  • Sounds like a typical man-child that needs to grow up and take some real responsibility.

    I hope your daughter understands that you tried to work things out when shes old enough to.  

    Good luck with the new man as well, he sounds like he makes you happy =]

  • I hope it gets better, I know in my own situation I deal with similar problems. On my husbands days off he never makes time for his kids, its like they never existed. It makes me angry, but getting mad or stressed only gives me more contractions. So everyday I get up and I tell myself today I will be as kind as possible towards my ex.
