If you weren’t married to a man who doesn’t equally contribute, wastes money on frivolous things, isn’t reliable etc, you’d possibly not be in this situation to begin with
If you had a peaceful home life, you’d be able to devote energy into getting better at work tasks. Instead you had to deal with marital problems
I’d your husband didn’t have credit and money problems, you maybe wouldn’t have to work stressful high pay jobs that perhaps don’t match your skill set. You’d be able to maybe have reduced work load and less stressful job
If your husband didn’t waste money on nonsense, including drugs, and didn’t expect and encourage expensive unnecessary purchases, you’d be able to save enough to live 6 months with no income (maybe just unemployment). It’s recommended to have enough saved to manage at least few months .
If he wasn’t a cheating unreliable jerk, you’d not be divorcing. You can’t ask him to support you in something that he created. I understand seeking support in a neutral situation that he’s not at fault, like illness in the family, but not in all this
Your husband is partially at fault for creating situations you deal with. Seeking support from him is pointless

divine, you make solid points, but emotions are not logical - and I have an emotional pull towards my husband that makes me want to reach out to him. He has been my main support through some very difficult times - my go-to person. And often, he's had great advice and also supportive words for me. it's emotional, not logical.
