Married but Spouse wants the Singke life
Married nearly 7 yrs, 2 children spouse does very little to help with children & house chores and on a daily basis insults & criticizes me for not being as thinn & attractive as I use to be.
Does not sound like your spouse truly appreciates or contributes to the relationship. What is stopping you from giving him the single life and separating from him?
I am considering separation. But I don't want my kids away from their dad.
Just because a relationship ends doesn’t mean the children don’t continue to see the parents.

It sounds like you are dealing with a difficult situation in your marriage. It's normal to feel hurt and frustrated when your spouse is unhelpful with childcare and household tasks, and also makes insulting and critical comments about your appearance. This behavior is not acceptable and can be damaging to your self-esteem and well-being.
It's important to communicate openly and honestly with your spouse about your feelings and concerns. It may be helpful to schedule a time to talk when you can both give each other your full attention and discuss your needs and expectations in a calm and respectful manner. It's important to set boundaries and let your spouse know that his behavior is not acceptable and that you expect him to be more supportive and respectful in the future.
It's also important to take care of yourself and focus on your own well-being. This may include finding ways to manage your feelings of hurt and frustration, and seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist who can provide a safe and supportive space for you to express your feelings and work through any challenges you're facing.
Remember that you deserve to be treated with respect and compassion in your marriage. If your spouse is unable or unwilling to meet your needs, it may be necessary to seek support and guidance on how to address the situation and make decisions that are best for you and your children. Take care of yourself and know that you are not alone.
