Being called a smelly cunt

My partner of 20 years loves calling me names. I’ve been called cunt before but he called me a smelly cunt this time then tried to say I started the argument. I still don’t think it warrants the abusive name.
I feel like everything I do is wrong, it’s never good enough he knit picks at me over every thing and barely makes eye contact it’s always about him, his job how busy he is. I feel really lost like I don’t matter, I’ve never felt good enough for him. In them 20 years we had kids on his terms, I was pregnant he didn’t want it I ended up losing the baby and eventually 10 years later he was ready to try I’ve two amazing kids now, but he has never even asked me to marry him: i feel really disconnected and utterly useless

He does love the kids, I guess I stayed so long in the hope of change I am an older mum so I felt like I didn’t want to have to start again with someone or miss my chance of being a mum as f*cked up as that sounds. I am no wall flower I have my faults but I just really feel like I’m at breaking point. I don’t really have a lot of people around me parents are not in great health either

You’re not useless and you do matter. You deserve to be safe and happy. Your kids deserve to live in a happy home which they currently don’t. What steps do you need to take to leave?
