I hope I have posted this in the right place - its my first post!
My husband and I have been married just over 1 year and been together for 12. We are both in our late 20's. Before we got married we were very happy, but it seems that after we were married my husband has changed greatly. He spends alot of his time in the pub, mixes with the wrong crowds (drug people), and stays out till early mornings at the weekends (I haven't a clue where he is and he won't tell me in the mornings when he does get home - so of course my mind wanders). I wouldn't mind but he works nights so I don't get to see him during the week and the weekends are the only chance that we get to spend time together. We also have major money troubles. He got himself into extreme personal debt (which he has opened a debt management plan to pay it off), but he doesn't contribute to any of the household bills, so I am left paying for everything myself. I wouldn't mind, but I can barely afford it on my wages! He doesn't do anything to help around the house and it feels like he uses our home as a free hotel!
When I try to talk to him, all I get is 'shut up, it will be ok', he will not talk to me and if the conversation gets heated he will get up and walk out! I feel so unhappy in the marriage at the moment and am seriously thinking about leaving him. I don't want to but there seems to be no resolving this situation.
Any help and advice is greatly received.

Welcome to marriagebuilders. You knew him for 12 years before you married? And there were no red flags? That seems hard to believe. He didn't hang out with drug people and stay out?
