My husband and I have been married 3 yrs, and had our first baby 10 months ago. The whole pregnancy he was less than excited to help me when I was sick. After she was born he was good and helped, but overall I did and do everything. We have been fighting for what seems like forever....he acts immature in his ways. I have to tell him how to dress so he doesnt look a mess, I have no sex drive with him, I am a stay at home mom due to being laid off. He is obsessed with his work friends and wants to go to a wedding with another woman who is a work friend. He says she is a friend and gay so he can't see why I am upset. I feel like every week its something else. My family hates him cause I am always hurt by his actions-I am catholic and I want to work it out, but I am so stressed out and talking to him is like talking to a wall. Help!

Y'all need to talk, either on your own (together) or with a Catholic Priest (or preacher...sorry not sure since I am not Catholic). You have to find common ground to agree on and in your case, it is your daughter. I am sure there are other things you can agree on....you got married for a reason! I can only imagine how it is for you. We were married 12 yrs before we had our first baby! However, it was a rough road off and on before that. Find things you can agree on, and build from there. And he doesn't need to go to a wedding with someone else. You should suggest you and the baby go with him. And stand by that, even if you don't really want to go. That's what families do, you know? If y'all are both young, that may be why he is acting like this. Younger men tend to have a hard time with "reality" and run away from the real issues. He has to man up in this case, and you need to try to work on the marriage for both you sakes' and your daughter's. Good luck, sorry if I rambled on too long!
