My husband wont keep a job and I cant cover the bills on my own, he gets a job and quits it after a couple weeks, the longest job he has ever had was for 6 months...I have been with him for 10 years, I just dont think he will ever change....he says he loves me, but I have trouble seeing it....if he did love me I think he would keep a job so I did not have to worry so much...my job is good I get paid good, sometimes I will work 40hrs a week but there are times I only work 20 hrs.....Im just very tired and I can honestly say if it were not for the kids I would have been gone a long time ago.....he is good to the kids and can sometimes be a good husband,,,but I dont want this anymore...im just so tired....would I be the failure in the marriage if I walked away???

OPTION::: A...take the kids and move in with my sister temporarily, my sisters family has 6 people, me and the kids would be 5 so thats 11 people living under one roof, but I would live with out worry while I saved up money, I would still be able to keep my job, but my kids would have to change schools they are in 2nd and 4th grade..I would not have a car but I could use my sisters....

OPTION B:::..I could stay here in this house we all love until I get an eviction noticethe kids could stay in their school and we would have our own home..
I also feel like if I left him he would be all alone and I hate to hurt him like that, but he does have a large family he could live with...I just hate the thought of hurting him
his dad has helped out a lot and given us money for everything we have needed...he has always bailed out my husband
I have told him in the last 2 years I would leave if he didnt keep a job, but rent and everything was always paid because his dad so I stayed for the kids, now his dad wont help anymore, I cant say as I blame him
he has gone back to school twice...never used anything he went to school for
