hugs my friend. I do not know what to say. But I feel he did not realized the responsibilities of a family. If he is ready to throw in the towel now what will he do when things really gets rough. Yes you do deserve more and you should strive for it Finish your education. You can do it You are stronger than you realize. Get a lawyer, therapist and a financial advisor lined up. You will need those when and if the time comes you are ready to walk away too. One other thing, he might have someone waiting on the sideline.

Aww Marie, I am so sorry to hear this. Marriage goes through challenging times. You need to go to your husband and ask him if he wants to fight for your marriage. If so, you should ask him to seek counseling with you. Don't give up on your marriage and you should ask him the same. Marriages wax and wane... he should not be willing to give up over a difficult month... sheesh that seems like a short walk in the park for some that go through much more trying circumstances. Needless to stay, your hurt, your conflict in your marriage and struggles are no less important and you should treat this so seriously. Fight for him... Ask him to fight for you. Blessings to you.

Its not clear what you were arguing about and who's wrong. If you were wrong, I think you need to say I am sorry and it won't happen again. If this was both of you, then perhaps you need to discuss how to not let this happen. Men like solving problem, finishing and resolving things.

I remember babysitting two girls next door and they wanted to play dolls. How do you win, you don't, what are the rules, there are none, when do you finish, I don't know. Just arguing is frustrating for many men.

I think it makes sense for both of you to try to address and solve the problem

You are not alone and it may not necessarily be your present circumstances. Folks are confused, struggling and have just plain lost their way. It sounds like there may be more going on with your husband that he is not sharing and/or doesn’t even know is happening. Get help please. Call a counselor to ask for resources to help you work through this time. Your school may have counselors that can help also. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. You can decide to go on like this or you can make some adjustments and see if they work. Let your husband know that you care. Let him know that you want to return to the blessings of the good times and that you are in this together. You are a team. When one hurts, both hurt. You can let him know you would like to help but it is his choice whether to work through this or not. I am praying for you. God bless you and your family.

A new baby and going back to school - those are two significant changes to your life as a young married couple. Then throw in the COVID situation and you have some majors changes in your lifestyle and your relationship. These changes can be difficult to maneuver and can cause the entire dynamic of the relationship to shift.

Given that you say you have had a happy marriage for the prior 4 years, perhaps the arguing is an attempt to work out all the new aspects of your marriage. You are both in the "uncharted territory" of new parenthood. This is time for communication and commitment to your marriage and family. Your husband needs to know that you two are in this for the long haul and YOU won't give up something wonderful just because things are a bit difficult now. Remind him that you are a team and you work together. Get a sitter and go out as a couple again, even if it is just to grab ice cream and talk.

Wishing you good luck and happiness.

Marriage is hard work indeed. It should be hard at first but then get easier to bear as time goes by. If you are dragging in the mud, and its constantly hard and not getting better. You may need to see a marriage therapist/counsellor.
