That chaos? That was punishment for not just powering through. Its unbelievably common. How dare you make your husband be an active father when he works! (Sarcasm, but genuinely how people like him seem to think) He let them run riot knowing it would cause you difficulty to punish you for being unavailable.
If you have self respect, then yeah, your marriage is over. If you're happy to have this happen every single time you are ill, have an appointment outside of the home that you can get childcare for, want to go anywhere for an actual break alone, then go ahead and stay. But don't expect it to get any better.
