DH business has been failing for the last two years, we’ve been living off my PT salary and my savings.

Money is running out fast, house isn’t selling, DH just wants to keep on at business.

I’ve offered alternatives and solutions, he won’t accept them.

I don’t know what to do next and I feel completely alone in this.

DH won’t be able to provide childcare due to the hours he will insist on working.

He doesn’t get to insist.

You’re having to sell your home.

Your savings (and you said yours, not his, or ours) are gone.

Clearly this is not a good situation to be in and you wish you weren’t but if you don’t think you’ll also have to make some unpleasant choices you’re as guilty of wishful thinking as he is.

DH business hasn’t allowed me to go PT, I have been able to work PT due to the field I’m in. I don’t want to go into it as it’s outing.

Also, this is illogical. You say you can’t cover the bills on your PT wage. So the ability to work PT isn’t as important as the fact that you actually cannot afford to be PT. And you cannot afford to be PT because your husband isn’t earning enough money.
