Firstly I love being a mum, don't get me wrong but 2 under 3 is a challenge but they make my world spin round. The youngest doesn't sleep well at all (at least waking 7+ times a night). I think I handle that all fairly well.
What makes it hard is that my partner is so lazy! He can't do anything to help me.
He works away all week and comes home and sits on the couch with his phone / iPad all weekend. I've looked at leaving and even went to a few house inspections but in the end I just doubt what I'm able to do and stay.
A few months ago I found out he was having an emotional affair for some time and I should have left then when I had an easier way out but stupid me stuck around. I work from home so need the extra support if I'm a bit behind.
Is he ever going to help or do I just wake up to myself and go.

He is never going to help unless something changes! Next weekend get up Saturday morning and tell him he has the kids for the day and just leave. Go out. If he doesn't change his behaviour after that then definitely time to go your separate ways. Of course you can do it on your own, you already are. You don't need his lazy ass.
Kick him out, u are letting fear rule your judgement, he is getting a free ride and u are letting him use and abuse you. You can do it, it will be easier than u think and u will find a man that treats u right : )
