I've been with my boyfriend for 10 years. He has always been overly critical of me and likes to put me down in every aspect of my life. To be honest I cant remember a single day in our history where he hasn't said something cruel about me. This is my first pregnancy and although my baby wasn't planned I couldn't be happier and I already can't imagine a life without her. I love my partner but no longer feel that I can keep living like this. He calls me a spounger and tries to make me feel like I wouldn't cope without him. I work full time and contribute towards the house bills every month yet he refuses to put me on the mortgage and tells me that I contribute nothing and he puts a roof over my head. I left him about 5 years ago for this sort of thing and his constant nastiness and he begged me to come back, needless to say I did. Now that I'm pregnant I know I don't want to be with him, it's made me realise how wrong he is and I don't want my daughter to grow up thinking her dad is a role model. My problem is my earnings aren't high enough for me to have my own property and I have nowhere to go. I feel completely stuck here and hopeless. Has anyone been through this?
