Is my marriage over

I have been with my husband 10 years and married for 4. We have a son and I’m at a point of not knowing if I want to be with him anymore.
Our entire relationship he has struggled with how he looks, despite the fact he works out all the time, has a great body, but he always compares himself to others.
He hates the idea of me finding another man good looking, and has accused me of cheating on him lots of times despite the fact I have never cheated on anymore my whole life.
He makes dramas about everything to the point where friends don’t really want to hang out anymore with us, and I’m just at the stage where I have had enough. There is so little happiness left and I feel I always am walking on egg shells with him waiting for the next drama. Help please

What do you get out of this relationship now?.

How do you respond when he repeatedly accuses you of cheating?.

I would plan your exit from this marriage with due care; do not stay within it just because or for your child. What do you want to teach him about relationships and what is he learning here from you two?. Do you want to continue to show your son that yes, this is how men treat women?.

I’m not entirely sure what I get tbh. I feel he has no respect for me at all, and unless I think the way he does then I am wrong. He is so sensitive about everything and gets the hump so quickly.
He is an amazing father but I just see how things will change. He won’t go for marriage counselling or anything.
