My partner and I separated when I was pregnant. It was his house we were living in and he pretty much told me if I wasn’t happy to leave. So I left, three kids in tow ( not his ) and heavily pregnant with his second, I packed up and left. I worked very hard on moving on with my life and bringing up our child on my own. My parents were very supportive and that’s how I got through. He contacted me before Bub was born and told me how much he missed me and how he wanted to be part of bubs life. I let him back in slowly and he was there for bubs birth. We have tried to work on our relationship since then , it’s been ups and downs. We live in separate houses but not far away from each other ( approx 500m)
I know he has taken back up smoking weed because at night some times he has turned his phone off so I can’t contact him. I’ve turned up without him knowing , and he has been absolutely smashed. This is a problem and he knows how I feel about it.
I know with the whole weed smoking his libido drops, but is it not normal to not want sex at all? I know he’s watching porn and getting himself off because he just doesn’t purse it with me. We spent a night together recently and nothing was initiated by him, he didn’t even come to bed when I did. I’m struggling with initiating it myself because of the rejection I felt while I was pregnant. I know he’s not with anyone else. I don’t know what to do. I feel so hurt and rejected. Why would he rather do that than make love to me. I’ve spoken to him and he always has excuses. He knows how i feel. Do I just end it and get on with life?

Yeah, you end the relationship and get on with life. Please know you deserve better than this relationship. Time to cut the cord from this guy, he’s just holding you back from living your best life.
Some guys don't "make love" and it sounds like that may be him.. Why would he bother, so much effort if his heart isn't in on it. If he is horny, he just wants to get himself off and be done.
He sounds like a drop kick to be honest and you deserve someone who actually wants you, fights for you and appreciates you.
Could it be possible he keeps the part time relationship going because he feels obligated because you share a child? He’s already failed at it once with his first child, so he won’t cut the cord and fail again but he’s clearly not in it either. Get out of purgatory, hell is better than not knowing where you stand.
