I guess this is the place for this ...

I don't know what to do anymore & I need some words of encouragement - things I can't get from RL friends or family. I can't get it there, because everyone I know thinks of my husband as the funny/cool guy ~ they don't see what I have to deal with.

DH and I have been married for 6 years & it's been a coaster of highs and lows. I thought things were going ok ~ but after this weekend... I'm not so sure I can do this anymore.

He's in the national guard & his unit is in my hometown about 5 hours away. So, he left on Friday ~ I tried to call him when he should have gotten to town but got no answer ... he never did call me back or even shoot me a text message. Saturday... I get ahold of him at 8 pm for a 42 second phone call where he tells me he'll call me back after he eats supper... I wait ... and i wait.... and I wait. I started trying to call him back around 10 ... I mean come on... supper is WAY over by then .... nothing... he won't answer or return my calls or texts. Finally at 1:30 he logs onto facebook and posts some crap to his aunt about how he's been busy looking up parts for work - because she asked what was up to my status about being ticked off.

Does he think I'm stupid? He was out at the bar (they close at 1 here) ... If he planned on going... why couldn't he just tell me?? Why ignore me?

Today I call him and he picks up and hangs up... I get a text saying I'm working on a truck - i'll call you when I'm done....

Big SHOCKER ~ no call....

Now it's 8 PM and drill is done - I know because his SGT was talking to me on facebook. He won't answer the phone... won't text me... nothing... he should be on his way home so he can be at work tomorrow morning.

I don't know what to do... I'm confuzed... I'm hurt... I'm angry... I'm litterally in tears. I'm now 7 weeks pregnant with our 5th child and sick as a dog with ms & so tired I can hardly function but having to care for 4 children through it.

This is the kind of thing I've been dealing with for years... and I'm starting to think life as a single mom might be better than dealing with all of this over and over again.

Sweetie, you know what*you* need. It is in your heart. I hope you receive many wise replies. I wish I had much better words for you, but my only thoughts are that you need to get away and start a new life with your children. HOWEVER, I do not know any more of your story than what you wrote and you seem to be in a bad situation. A situation that possibly has gotten to the point of no return. Again, just my opinion from your words. xoxo

If he is willing to go to marital counseling, I would pursue that option. His behavior is unacceptable, and you should not continue to put up with it.

If you decide to end the marriage, please make sure you have an attorney who fights for your interests, and the interests of your children. Many women end up not pushing for adequate child support or other things because they just want the divorce to be finalized quickly.
