Just curious.....how much do you really rely on him. I ASSUME he works & brings in the income & you take care of the kids & the home. That is pretty equal in the eyes of the court.

Obviously if he works & takes care of the home then he may have some grounds for his comment. There may have to be changes on both parts to make a marriage at this point work if there is any truth in how he says he feels about you relying on him too much. I am guessing that he just doesn't acknowledge ALL you are responsible for & just doesn't respect all you do. It could be that the guys he is going off with are also feeding these thoughts into his mind. He may need to quit hanging around these guys if there is any chance for your marriage to be repaired.
