Has anyone actually left their partner because they weren’t helping enough?

Well it’s not that you’re leaving him because he doesn’t clean, you’re leaving him because he is inconsiderate, he is treating you like a slave, he is treating you as if he doesn’t care about you. You’re leaving him because he is a man that would rather watch his partner drown than take on his share of parental and household responsibilities. You’re leaving him because you know you deserve more. This isn’t just about cleaning, it’s about you needing and wanting more in life.
Sounds like my baby dad tbh, he's been gone 3 weeks today, kids have only asked about him a few times, he video calls them but I was doing everything and having to practically beg him to take the kids to bed/school, I'm pregnant with our third but know she will slot in and I'll carry on like I am doing, some days it's hard don't get me wrong but getting on just fine, just one less person to cook for/wash clothes for and dishes 😅
I not only left my baby daddy because he didn’t help with my baby but because he was on drugs, told the cps worker (to her face) that he refused the drug test as well as he was verbally abusive. We have been gone since she was 6 months old. Has only video chatted 3x.
Yes. I left my ex because of this. I was doing everything by myself, he only wanted to do the 'fun' parenting and even then spent the majority of the time asleep or on his phone. I gave him a chance, told him if I'm already acting like a single parent I'll be one, he didn't change so I left. Some people may see this as a silly reason to leave but I respect myself and my time too much to stay with someone who doesn't respect me.
Honestly, you already have a kid to take care of and don’t need another. Leave, you have every right to ☺️
I literally in the same boat, he plays video games and then when I’m getting upset and angry he’s like why cause you ain’t helping it’s a lot of stress on the women as we have been through a lot to grow this tiny human x
Yes I separated coz he won’t do anything or support family as he thinks it’s women’s job x
I would leave, you have one kid.. don’t need a man child either.
Sounds like you have a teenager as well as a baby. Yes I left my ex for this (as well as many other things) and he wasn’t even that’s messy and didn’t play video games etc
When I stopped enabling him to be an absent parent my life changed! Gurl hide his damn controller! I started just leaving saying I'll be back in an hour or two baby at at this time I will feed when I get back I'm nursing And force him to take care of his child! When I come back I would feed and give him right back say I'm going to the gym or taking a shower then laundry or whatever I wanted to do After he got a taste of what it felt like to be me he started helping without me asking I'm still working on leaving this joker tho sigh it's always more reasons
Yeah I'm in the same boat. My guy is super nice and a wonderful father but is very inconsiderate around the house and towards me in general. I also can't stand the video games and he plays for hours every night. Can't even pause to wash the dishes real quick. I just think we have very different outlooks on life and how we were raised. The laziness is very unattractive. I definitely feel I deserve better, and hope to be in a position where we just co parent together.
He acting and behaving like a boy leave and get you a man my luv I kicked a man right on out you won’t cook, clean while I’m pregnant and tending to a toddler I didn’t ask for a lazy teenager who don’t listen since I can’t whoop ya butt like a lil boy you gotta go
God I don’t understand why men are like this
It’s just annoying. He stays up and plays video games EVERY night while I stay up cleaning and he never pauses to help. And then when I wake up in the morning I have to clear off the coffee table from all the snacks and drinks he had from the day before. EVERY MORNING. And he’ll throw his clothes all over the floor in the room. Won’t even put them in the hamper. I’m just beyond done.
