So I'm 16 weeks pregnant and have a 3yo. My partner and I have been together for nearly 5 years with many ups and downs. He's been caught out messaging women, joining dating sites and some domestic abuse thrown in. We split for a few months but got back together but still ended up with the same issues again. I don't really trust him and he is aware of this, I'm unhappy in this relationship and I'm pretty sure he is too.
Now the main point of the post, we've been discussing maternity leave and he refuses to allow me to take the whole 9 months as he says we can't afford it, in my opinion I feel we would be able to find a way to manage.
I'm now at the point where I feel like my happiness means nothing to him and I genuinely feel I would be happier living alone with the two children than staying in a house I don't like, a relationship that is beyond messed up and a worry that my mental health will deteriorate.
So would I BU to cut my losses in this relationship and go it alone?
Sorry for the very long post I just feel a little lost and confused at the minute
TIA
