My partner and I have an eleven-month-old daughter and have been together over two years. Our daughter wasn't planned and there was a lot of tension early on in the pregnancy where he left me for 3 hours telling me to have an abortion. He left me for one of my best friends at the time, then realised what a mistake he had made.
Flash forward to now, I've been off work for 3 weeks with undiagnosed neuro problems. I was given a further 4 weeks yesterday and my partner hit the roof and started shouting about money. His mum said not to worry about it, she would help and I'm trying to get ahold of the council to see if our housing benefit can be increased whilst we're on SSP but these things aren't good enough for him. He started shouting that our daughter was going to have a rubbish upbringing thanks to me and that I needed to go back to work, despite the fact that I'm in constant pain, even on my medication. Everyday I've been off I have looked after our daughter without any help from him.
He also has a tendency to befriend women. I don't care what sex they are, it's the fact that he only maintains friendships with the ones he fancies. He fancies any woman that smiles at him, it's rediculous. The current 'friend' is twenty-one (we're 23 and 25) and every otehr day is having some sort of drama, she's twisted her ankle, her brother is hitting her, she hates her job...and she gets all the sympathy in the world. I'm facing a possible brain tumour and I don't work hard enough...I'm so down, I don't know what to do.
I have nothing and no one, my family are all deceased and my friends are spread across the country. My best friend lives 20 minutes away but she lives at her work, so there's no way we can go there. She's trying her hardest to help and care but I know her hands are tied.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Do you know what I can do?
