Pregnant and worried

I'm 8 months into my first pregnancy with twin boys, and lately I have been noticing my partners behavior to be a bit unorthodox. Unfortunately it seems that he isn't stepping up to the plate when it comes to us, I have been told that I will more or less have birth in a couple of weeks and he has been getting drunk around 3-4 days a week with his brother and his friends. Instead of coming home in an hour like he promises every time he will come stumbling in at around 5-6am the next morning. I'm worried, I've tried to discuss with him my concerns and he brushes them off every time. He lost his job a couple of months ago and at the time was trying his hardest into finding a job but now he looks upon me to find one for him. He seems like a completely different person and I'm not sure if its because he's worried about becoming a father or if it could be something more. We have been fighting a lot more recently for this reason as I'm still working and each time I get paid it goes straight to the bottle shop. Is it because of the babies or should I leave before it gets worse?

If it's your salary and is going into a joint account and yet he's unfairly exploiting that teamship perk with anti-team-playing attitude/behaviour, then he doesn't warrant the perk. One simple mechanism for ensuring you can follow Susie's sound and vital advice on that front would be to open a sole account for your salary to go into whereby him helping himself or you 'giving' is no longer so easily done. If he has no spending money, he'll have to get off his a*se and get a job, finally, won't he. C'est simple que ca! If it's NOT a joint account as gives him free access then, yes, I agree with Susie - what the heck are you doing still giving him money any time he asks? If he wants to become a lush, whether or not it's because he sees that as some "brilliant solution" to his pending fatherhood anxiety or his attempt to make hay whilst the baby-less sun is still shining, I see no reason why you and your babies should suffer as a result. Start taking care of YOURSELF if he's no longer capable/willing.
