Husbands and the third trimester

Need Advice

Hello question for the people out there who are in third trimester or have been through it. I have had a rough go at this second pregnancy. Felt super sick in the first tri and anemic in the second and third. My iron infusion gave me an allergic reaction and sent my body into overdrive for a few days I couldn’t even walk. As of yesterday I’m still anemic and extremely fatigued. My legs feet hands are super swollen.. I work 40+ hours a week at an office job but it’s been difficult. Plus 2 year old at home. I am 35 weeks.

Now my husband and I are fighting to the point of thinking about leaving after the baby.

My husband has gone on 2 2-4 day guys kayaking trips one bachelor party/bachelorette party and now next weekend he has two football drafts where he has been getting super drunk and will be completely hungover and useless after every event. This is all in the last 3 months

Where am I? Home with my two year old… trying to keep my house together

He also plays bags and the local vfw every other Thursday night sometimes every Thursday

So we have a Wisconsin dells trip planned and we are leaving tomorrow morning. He said he was going to bags and I said unbelievable I really need you to help me get ready for the dells. He said it only takes 10 minutes to get everything ready and I have been doing everything all week while you come home and take a nap. ( yes I had to lay down two days this week after work I was super tired) he then told me he does everything around here while I sit on the couch and he deserves to go to bags.

Anyway he yelled at me about this for the next 10 minutes about how I’m controlling and I don’t do anything for our son and to name something I did this week. ( mind you in my opinion I do my fair share)

We went to the park because I had planned that for us before picking up groceries and I was pissy because of everything and he told me I’m a terrible person and a liar and I make things up in my head. I went back to the car and cried idk why but that statement just made me sad. After him and my son played he came back to the car and told me why are you crying is it because you have been mean to me today? Then he told my son sorry buddy mom ruined our trip to the park. I did not say another word the rest of the night.

Today he’s doubling down he went to the bar even though bags was cancelled and now I have nothing ready for the dells so I will probably be stressed tomorrow.

I’m sorry this is so long but I tried to be as honest with the statements as possible so that I can get some feedback on if I’m being dramatic.

Idk if I want to be with this man anymore this is not a one time thing. This is ANY time I get even slightly irrated by what he’s doing. Or if I complain that things arnt getting done around the house. Even a if I sigh in annoyance he jumps down my fucking throat and starts throwing past things in my face. Trust me I am not perfect and I have done things wrong but in his eyes I think he thinks he’s 100% better than me. Better dad better husband better person.

Idk honest feedback if I am being a brat tell me lol
