Why does a husband say he wants to leave home but does not?

hate to say this but he still might... he may just be biding his time, putting some money aside etc...   consult a lawyer just in case , and protect yourself financially etc... better to be prepared than surprised !!  best wishes!

pretty interesting. I know that they will follow people from one place to another. If you want him to leave, you may want to try telling him that he is not wanted there, that he needs to go back to his house, or even encourage him to head for the light.  there are people that could help you find out what he wants. check with a medium for what to do...\nI know some people think this is crazy, but they piss-on stuff they do not understand, because they have tiny little closed minds!

I have had to go out of town for a few days leaving the kids with my husband.  He thought he could do it just fine.  When I came home he just hugged me and said "how in the hell do you do it??"  I just laughed at him.  he never took my job for granted again.  Now when he gets home he cooks and lets me sit and relax because he knows I am exhausted.\n\nSo to answer your question, I say go out of town for a few days and see what he says when you get home.  This is something that they cant understand till they are in your shoes.

In all honesty, just be blunt about it.  There is now reason why he shouldn't want to be with you.  I can relate to an extent because my wife wants it all the time all day and we have only been married for just over a year.  But I have been away from home the entire time and when I came home she made it sound like that is all she wanted out of me over the phone.  don't get me wrong I wanted it just as much, but just feeling like thats all she wanted made me feel less of myself.  \nI don't think you are in such a situation, but I still feel the best way is to come and say in.

Chances are there is something keeping him there.  Perhaps his father tends to be abusive toward his mother and he stays at home to referree?\n\nProbably something like that.\n\nOtherwise, if it's just because...you're dealing with a mama's boy.  Run!

I completely understand how you feel.  I hate being anywhere but home, it is an uncomfortable, anxious nagging want to escape pressure that you have to control and act like you don't feel.\n\nTell your husband, and his family you have other plans.  I say tell his family so he does not try to explain in a way they will not understand.  Maybe going every other time will make it easier for you to deal with.  Tell them you just need sometime to work on things at home...like your peace of mind, yeah, don't tell them that part. :))

easy.....\n\nif he has a cell phone when you go out is it always off? or in his car? or at work?  thats the first, what work does he do, if he is into sales then if married he can sometimes spend time out on the "road"  when you try call him at night is the phone off?  his home number is not given, reason is that he only uses a cell phone (lies) over the weekend do you see him most times or sometimes? go with your gut feeling its most of the time right

Did your daughter make the accusation before or after your husband stating he did not want her living in the house anymore?\nIf she said it after he made known his wishes that she move out, it could be a malicious lie on her part to stir up bad feelings and mistrust between you & him.\nThere's a well-known case about a California bus driver who was accused of molestation by two girls on his bus. It turned out they started the lie to get him in trouble because he told them both to be quiet on the bus in front of everyone.\nIf the accusation came before him wanting her to move out, talk seriously with your daughter alone, and take notes on the details. Then, talk to your husband separately and compare stories.  Then talk with your daughter again to look for inconsistencies.

you tell him in straight forward manner. You expect rent, utility, and food money. If he disagrees, tell him that it is not your responsibility to take care of him. Treat him like an adult and be firm. If it gets to be two on one then its time to move yourself out.\n\nADDED\n\nif its your house then you can tell then its your way or the highway.

Perhaps be grateful for the child you have and respect that he is honest enough to say he doesn't want anymore and start planning the rest of your life together.\n\nI don't want to discount your desires.  However, what does this say about your comittment if you are considering leaving because you are not getting your way.\n\nIn some respects, it sounds like he already has another child, and she is threatening to leave if she doesn't get his way.\n\nYou've got to either find a way to convince him to be enthusiastic about having another child, or he has to find a way to convince you to be enthuisatic about keeping the family size just as it is.\n\nWork on that, and leave the childish thoughts about leaving to the kids.

YES, HE WAS BEING SELFISH!!!.When it comes to home improvements,moving,ANY THING TO DO WITH THE CONSTRUCTION or change of your home YOUR HUSBAND Should be there (That is consider family moment- there is actually going to be a change in the house). Bike shopping is not more important then helping you with the house for your children. It also,make me look at his friend!!!\n\nThis is what a decent friend would say " hey, I KNOW YA'LL GUYS WILL BE BUSY THIS WEEK" How about we go bike shopping next week once everything at your home is complete?"\n\nIt sounds like he wasn't thinking or he just want to get out of the house!!! he should have asked you is there any thing else that you may have needed before he ran out. this may sound miner to others but moves, re-construction of a home or anything pertaining to the change of living space for you/husband and children. Is a big deal to me and that everyone in the family participate and work together that is called supporting each other and strengthening the family bond.

You're joking, right? You are definitely not asking too much for your man to spend the little free time you both have without the kids together. Are you set on going out or could you perhaps "ramp" him into spending time together starting with an intimate evening at home? Next time you can remind him you two stayed in for him last time so it's his turn to accommodate your wishes.

He should not be bossy and neither should you in this situation. He should be the head of the home though and make all the major decisions and you should be allowed to have input in this too. Compromise is important here. I recommend the book the Power of A Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian to you. It is a great book and they sell it in places like Walmart. Love your husband where he is at and maybe he is bossy because you are.  Try not to be so bossy and let him lead some and see what happens.

Is he ignoring you, or treating you like crap? Is he often absent from your home, or (if you're not living together) does he bother to call you when he gets home.\nWhat does your GUT tell you? It is usually right. Ever heard of women's intuition?

he's probably trying not to loose you (for now) by telling you he's leaving.  if he tells you he's leaving he has to deal with hurting and leaving you.  by not telling you he avoids that. you're gonna be hurt when he leaves either way. he might be trying to hang on to you for now. he may just be protecting feelings.

He has some serious problems with control. I would think if this is the way I wanted to live. He has no right to tell you that you can't do something. He is your husband not anything else. K

I guess you have already tried talking to him. What does he think is "ridiculous", you wanting him to help? I can only tell you what I would do. I would sit him down and tell him " As long as we BOTH have to work two jobs, I am not going to be the only one taking care of everything around the house. If you want a housewife, then you need to support one. Otherwise, we share the chores just like we share the bills". If he cannot see the logic in that, I would be considering leaving. There is no way I would allow myself to be treated that way.
