Hi, I just registered to this site because I just don't know what to do anymore. My husband and I have been together for almost 4 years now. We just got married in August. We have always gotten along great. Not a lot of fighting or anything like that. We have always had this spark that many of our friends say they wish they had. People have envied our relationship. However, there have been problems with his mother. She has pushed him out of her life and then apoligized and pushed him out over and over. This just keeps happening. Somehow through all of this I got brought in to the picture by her constantly running me down to him. I have never done anything wrong to her. Her and I used to be the greatest of friends until he told her we were getting married. She shut me out. So she has caused us some pain in our marraige. I am now 4 and half months pregnant. The day before Mother's Day my husband decided that he was going to drink beer all day long. When I went to pick him up that night he was fine, until we got into the truck. He started screaming at me about not using cruise control and asked if he could buy a new truck. I told him that I didn't care he could buy whatever he wants. He got mad saying that I was being sarcastic and calling me names. When we got home he said he was done he was sick of me. I was devastated he has never acted this way towards me. I begged him to stay I didn't want him to drive drunk. I cried and cried and he didn't care. He left and went to his mother's house. Within the next three days he threatened me with taking everything and even our child when it's born. He shut off all of the utilities my cell phone everything. He came over got some of his stuff I wouldn't let him have everything he wanted because he wanted to empty the house. So within this three day period he did all of this and filed for divorce. I just don't understand what happened. I know that he doesn't have a girlfriend or anything to that effect. It was a few days before I talked to him. He was not nice. Then he went back to work. He works away from the home for 28 days at a time. I had been trying to get a hold of him because I had some of his mail I was wondering what he wanted me to do with it. He had his father call me stating that his mother told my husband that I had a restraining order on him. Which is a total lie. He was scared to call me. Finally that evening he did. We had a great talk he was the man I married the wonderful man. He was very apologetic stating he took things to far, However, he was going to think about reconciling but for me to give him space to think. So I did that. He actually called me again the next day and he was the same. Then I didn't talk to him for a couple of days. I got a random text from him stating that he was not coming back to me and that I needed to quit emailing his friends. I haven't emailed anyone. I just don't know where this stuff is coming from. Now he is all worried about coming to get the things he says are his items. He wants everything. I've remained non threatening and non confrontational to him through this whole thing. This is really painful because I don't understand I just want him to come home. He says he still loves me and knows that it shouldn't be this way and says he's sorry for putting me through this. I'm just so confused why it's so hard for him to do the right thing. Why would he walk away from his family for a life of nothing with his mother. I love him so much but he is hurting me so bad. I can't stop crying and I can't eat. I basically can't function. Do I continue to hang on? Will he come around?
Also his attorney has told him that he can divorce me at any time. However, mine has told me that we cannot be divorced until the baby is born. Which is true? Also can I contest our divorce? Do I have to go along with it? I know it's not the right thing and I know it's not what he wants deep down. I think it's all his mother. What do I do?

There are only two things you need to think about at this time. 1) The unborn child
2) yourself, you need to stay healthy and eat properly, remember you are eating for two now.
If you can fit in dealing with him and the inlaws then fine but just remember the first two are the MOST important.
Wish you the best.

It really sounds like your husband may be suffering from a mental health issue and that he's very unstable. There's nothing you can do for him or to "fix" this, he has to do it himself.
I'm bi-polar and it sounds very much like a manic phase. Protect yourself and your baby and try very hard to eat right and to do what you can to minimize your stress.

I've been trying to keep myself under control. He has put my emotions on a roller coaster ride. One day stating he's sorry and wants to fix this and couple days later getting mad about nothing. The last I spoke to him on Tuesday and he said that he loves me very much and misses me but since he's already filled out the paper work he's going to go ahead and go through with it. So I decided I can't do this anymore. He obviously has some sort of mental disorder. I don't deserve this and I can't make him get help. I love him but I can only take so much. He texted and called me last night asking if he can be at my ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby. I haven't responded. I feel like he shouldn't get the opportunity to be there since he's just walking away this easily. I filed my response to his petition wednesday. I asked for $600 per month in temporary maintenance until the baby is born. Also in my parenting plan I'm asking for sole legal and physical custody and him supervised visits. He's coming to the house thursday and taking everything. The house will be empty I wont even have a bed to sleep in. I just can't do it. I can't fight with him over material stuff.

Well it's Father's Day and my husband did come over Thursday evening to get stuff. He cleaned out the house as I thought he would. He even went to the extent of lieing to me about his stepfather having surgery to not be at the ultrasound for our child. He was actually going to buy a new truck. He keeps telling me that he loves me but I'm done with it all. I'm emotionally drained and beat down. I found out yesterday that one of our mutual friends hooked him up with a girl. Looking through the phone records he has been talking to this girl all night and day since thursday. It just makes me sick. Should I be mad at him for this? Is he wrong to turn to another woman while he's still married? How can a person hurt someone so bad and still feel good about themself. I love him so much but I hate him at the same time. I've slipped into a deep depression. I just feel like my life has fallen apart and I feel terrible for my child. I don't know what's going to happen out of all of this. He keeps telling me it's not my ball game anymore and that in the end of the divorce he's gonna get everything he wants. He even threatened yesterday to take my car away. Isn't it enough he left me to sleep on the floor. I don't know what's going to happen in the divorce I wish I did. He keeps dodging his attorney like he's trying to run away from it. I just want it to be over so I can get over the hurt. Not sure how I'm going to do it but I'll try.

That crazy mother is always going to be in the picture. Genetic if you ask me.
I'd cut my losses with this family.
