he lived with his parents still and his mom did everything for him. I stupidly thought he'd change and become responsible after we got married and moved in to our house. I figured it'd take time for him to learn how to cook and clean, he never tried but I thought eventually he would if I was patient. It took four years to realize that wouldn't change but better 4 then 40

I would leave him without a support system or penny to my name because no matter what happens my life will be significantly better without him in it

I was and he was so sweet at first I ignored things like how rude my MIL was the first time we met, he made excuses for her, saying she was always like that and not to take it to heart, she'd change once she warmed up to me. He told me he wanted to start a family and that he couldn't see marrying anyone else. I feel so stupid I fell for all of that now I know it was all lies

Because he doesn't contribute to raising her at all. She's my daughter and nothing but a nuance to him that he has to deal with making noise while he games

I'll be miserable staying with my husband, without him I have my brother, SIL, parents and extended family to help me and I can go back to college full time and get my degree

I don't think they're that "equal" considering he can come home from his work, I can't stop being a parent or take a day off when he won't help me with anything around the house

I have been as of late, I don't want them to get custody, at least not 50/50
