    Moved from bexleyheath in kent to harwich noth essex, I dont drive. In the last 18 months i had you miscarrige, put on weight, dont feel good bout myself, Just hit me how low i feel and no one to tell, i just keep smileing maybe everything go away.

    Sounds like you have had an awful lot to deal with. Does your DH know how you feel about miscarriage, weight and yourself? Maybe if you open up to him he might be able to give you some support.

    What about friends where you used to live? and family?

    Reading between the lines, it may be possible that his 'junk' spending of late, is his way of dealing with an emotional issue which will have effected both of you. As it appears he is buying stuff which are distraction items.
