To stay with him for money?

I have two kids with my partner aged 3 and 10 months. I am hating life at the minute - constantly indoors with the baby who is quite difficult and he doesn't help at all.

We had a wedding to attend today and he told me to stay home after having a massive argument with me because he managed to break the zip off my daughters dress. Yes that's how useless he is, he doesn't know how to put a dress on a child.

He fucks off every weekend leaving me alone with the baby, he takes my 3 year old with him but doesn't look after her himself he will drop him off to his mother

There is no love in the relationship

I hate him, he hates me. It's as simple as that

He won't leave

I would love to leave him but here's the issue - my parents purchased a house in my name a few years ago when I was in a well paid job. I also gave them money towards the deposit. If I leave him I will be broke as I am not working and I am finding it extremely hard to get another job.

I won't be able to apply for income support / housing benefit etc because of the house in my name

The only thing I'll be entitled to is ctc and CB but how will I survive on that?

I can't go back to my parents there's just no space. And I don't think they want me back either. They don't have much to do with (despite me always helping them financially in the past)

I really hate life at the moment honestly living with him has become a nightmare. I told myself before in 30 I will leave him but by doing so I'll be completely broke

I am looking for a job

Aibu to stay with him just for security (roof Over my head, bills paid for etc) even though I HATE HIM and wish I could just leave and not worry about money ?

I'm obviously not saying that I wish I was on benefits but I have not been successful in any of the jobs I have applied for

We're not married legally. I know this may sound stupid but we had a small celebration to celebrate us being together when we had our daughter but on paper we are not legally married

Yes it may sound stupid but oh well it is what it is

But you said in another thread that you got married and moved away shortly after buying your parents house.

Is that not true?

Za1ny · 02/04/2017 21:04

I actually got engaged And moved away I just felt stupid saying that I don't know why. I didn't think a white lie would really hurt anyone

You refer to him as your husband/mention getting married in three previous threads...............

The reason it matters is because the advice people are giving you in those threads is completely wrong/irrelevant depending on whether you are married or not.

I know I'm sorry I don't know why I said we were married, legally we are not
