We planned to have three children, and now we have four children. That’s if twins can be split into two. My first was a set of twins, so we decided to go for another one and have our dream of three children. The next one was also a set of twins. Now my husband has abandoned the kids on me.

The first set are only four years old, while the second set are currently eight months old and learning to walk. When the second set came, my husband said he didn’t have money to do everything, so his money would cover the first set while I took care of the second set myself.

It turned into a huge disagreement, but in the end, all he did was act like a man and push my concerns aside. True to his words, I’m the one buying everything when it comes to the second set. I don’t complain, though it’s hurting my finances and my emotions.

That aside, my husband doesn’t do anything to help with the kids. Just imagine four kids at this stage, and there’s no support coming from him. When the kids cry, it’s on me. When they are hungry, it’s on me. He won’t play with them or engage them in any way. I go to work and return home to meet more work than I did in the office.

All that aside, at night, he would want to climb on me and hit the road. My body is almost always broken due to tiredness, but he doesn’t care. We don’t want to have any more kids, but he doesn’t do it with protection. So I asked him, “Do you want another set of twins?” He answered, “When you have them, don’t come home with them because you wouldn’t come and meet me here.”

When I told my dad about it, he said I should leave the marriage because what I have isn’t marriage. My mom supports my dad, even my siblings. It’s gotten to a point where I call home for support and nobody minds me. My mom used to visit to help me, but these days, she doesn’t want to come near me. I plead, and she tells me, “You want that silly marriage more than your life, so suffer alone.”

What Will Make You Leave Me After Forty Years Of Marriage?

The last support I have is falling apart, and I don’t know what to do. Should I listen to my family and quit the marriage? Should I continue to hope that change will come and my marriage will be restored?
