I want out but so many hurdles, help

[dreamadream1]

Hi everyone, posting here for traffic.

I'm 28 and have been with my husband since I was 13, married at 21.

We've had a few miscarriages together, I've got endometriosis, an autoimmune disease and sciatica.

I work full time, 12 hours a day, 5 days a week but he's becoming increasingly frustrated with me that I'm tired, the lack of sex (due to endo pain) maybe 5 times a month, and the fact that I want to chill on a weekend. I spend my Saturdays cleaning the house and doing laundry.

I've just come to the realisation that we are not compatible anymore after this morning he told me I do nothing and all he's heard all week is me "whinge" because my back has been bad and my IBS has been giving me tummy ache (caused by endo).

He also left me after my latest miscarriage in January 5 days after surgery he asked me to leave but then asked me to come back.

The problem is, I earn £1500 a month, I could not afford to private rent around my area, would I be entitled to help with housing cost? The council wouldn't even consider me for a place as been private renting for the past 8 years. I'm also paying off debt through step change (debt I racked up when I was very depressed due to losing my parents in a short amount of time, I bought things in exchange for temporary happiness).

I also have a dog that has been by my side and my best friend throughout all of the grief and hard times who I wouldn't leave behind.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice or anywhere they could point me to to help.

Thanks for reading xx

Your situation sounds really tough but you've made your decision to leave which is half the battle. You will be so glad you got out of this situation. Just need to battle through the practicalities now.

Do you have any good friends or relatives who would put you and the dog up for a while? A few weeks up to a few months, so you can sort out your next steps?

An affordable option for renting would be a room in a shared house of professionals, that allows dogs. These definitely exist and can be really nice and reasonably priced.

I don't have any advice but didn't want to read and run Do you have any family you could stay with temporarily? With your health conditions, you may be able to apply for benefits like PIP but not entirely sure about other benefits.

Is there any opportunity to live in a cheaper area / commute a bit further to work? xx
