So I've been with my partner for about 15 years now. Its not been the smoothest of relationships and I think, looking back, he's never treated me very well. We have 2 children (youngest is 3) and I can definitely say I'm only with him for the kids. We nearly split up about 5 years ago but my oldest son was so badly affected by it, I changed my mind. Things did improve after that and we had another.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, we have just bought a brand new house - although deep down I knew this was a mistake, I did it for stability for the kids (as we had been renting so moving house a lot). My partners behaviour has been unbearable since we moved in due to all the issues we have had. He;s a very angry person who constantly criticises me.
I just feel trapped now because there is no way we could sell the house as we would make a massive loss. I know he wouldn't leave either if I asked him.
I've thought about going to relationship counselling on my own to see if I can get things in perspective (I wouldn't take him as it would be a waste of time). How have I managed to get myself into this situation??
