Is it normal to hate your husband

Ok, so I just got married 8 months ago & suddenly I want out. I have been madly in love with him this whole time and thought I was happy, but now the past week I have realized how miserable I am in this life. He doesn't have a job and we have no real income (we live off my unemployment - and thats barely anything)... he hasnt had a job since a few months after we got married. he can't pass his ged (took it 4 times), he is very stubborn. we get in arguments daily. He never listens to me, and just wants to have sex. I am also 9mos. pregnant with his kid. I am someone who wants to go to college, have a career, and not be on welfare. he is lazy, all he does is smoke weed and watch tv. he doesnt have any ambition for anything in life.
I dont know what to do. If i get divorced what would be the point of marriage. I also dont want to do that to my kid. I want to love him but I am so depressed I feel like killing myself if I have to be stuck in this stagnant relationship.

    Dont stay with him.
    Me and my mom are currently about to move out because the man shes married to doesnt do shit. And guess what?
    Weve been unhappy for years. leave him NOW before it is too late. Im going through what you're going through and you need to get out. It will only get worse.
    And if he does say hes going to get better, than he'll go back to his old ways when he feels you trust him again.

    Please get some help. Talk to your OB, or a counselor, or lawyer. You can't change anyone..only yourself.I think you and your baby deserve better and you sound together and have many positive aspirations for your life. Move on now, before it's too late. Also, your hormones may be kicking into overdrive and you possibly may be overreacting. Wishing you best of luck dear.

    Please get yourself out of this situation right now. Get out and don't look back. You have goals....and you have a life you want for yourself and your child. This man will only hold you back. I hate to be blunt, but I am telling it as I see it. Good luck.

    You think staying with this loser will be better for your kid? I want to berate you for marrying someone like that in the first place but hey, we all make mistakes.

    If you're unhappy, get a divorce. That's the only solution. People don't usually change. It's not impossible but it's rare and it doesn't sound like he has any plans to. Have you expressed these feelings to him? Maybe if you threaten your relationship it will light a fire under his ass. But honestly, a man that has a kid on the way and doesn't care to even attempt to provide for you and the baby....what a waste of space. Ditch him and find a real man, in my opinion.

    I don't know if this post is even true or not, because it certainly seems untrue. But is it is, than why haven't you filled the divorce papers yet?

    You must divorce. Not just for you, but for your soon-to-come baby. Your husband dosen't deserve a woman like you, he is a jerk.

    But, unfourtanatly, some people don't change.

    Its time for him to grow up. Only a shock can really wake him up.

      forgot to add, you are not in a state to make any serious decisions. You need clarity of mind for that.

    I'm so sorry to hear that! It must be awful :( Not sure what to tell you. How long were you two together before you got married? I wish you the best of luck. I also hope he will get his act together, especially once the baby is born! It's not just about HIM anymore... it's about family!! He needs to be more responsible. Once again, good luck.

  • I agree with the above a bit but having a child does make a difference & I think you should wait a bit after the birth & then get marriage counseling. If that fails, at least it can include separation counseling in the interest of your child and yourself as a mother.

    If he refuses, then go see a lawyer.

  • So you obviously got married because you were pregnat. There should have been signs he was like that bfore you married him. I think you are as silly as he is. Get a divorce and get a job dont breed more welfare which is all your going to do if things dont change

    Honey you are 9 months pregnant! You are an emotional wreck because of the hormones and nervousness about having a baby especially first. PLUS first year of marriage is always difficult so mix those two together sprinkled with financial trouble you have a nice little cocktail of "what the hell did I get myself into?" wait until after the baby to make anymore life changing decisions and talk to a therapist and he as you said is stubborn try getting him to talk to one too. Ultimately he may be freaking out too and this is how he is handling it, he probably feels emasculated and already like a bad father bc he doesn't have a job and can't provide, is prob scared out of his mind with a baby and is shutting down. If you are madly in love (I knw you said you don't feel it-but remember hormones) with work from both of you it can work. Divorce should be absolute last resort, because with him or anyone else there's no perfect relationship and (anyone who says other wise is prob lying) there will always be times where you can't stand your spouse.
