My heart hurts

I feel so stuck, stuck with someone who just doesn't seem to care about me constantly talks down to me, looks at me like he hates me. Belittles me in front of others I'm always on eggshells if family members visit dreading how he'll act. They laugh it off but no one realises the extent of this. We both work and have 4 kids when he comes home he sits with a face on him if dinner isn't what he wants and glued to his phone. Chats to the kids but honestly acts like im invisible. I feel like I'm a live in maid. Once he walks in my mood shift it hurts my heart living like this. I've told him multiple times over the past few months I'm not happy but nothing ever changes he won't listen to me. I don't have anyone I can talk too, it's really affecting my mental health. I'm trying my best to be the best mum I can, work while the kids are at school and take care of our home. I just don't feel peace when he's home. I need out of this, how do I make him leave without being mean? The kids love their Dad and hes not a violent man I'm just done, my girls are almost teens and this can't be what they think love is.... though hes so loving to them and protective to them all. Feel like I've an extra child to look after..... a 43 year old man child 😪

Hi

it sounds awful
you can’t make him leave but you can tell him you want to separate and take legal steps to do so.

make sure you understand the process and your financial situation first so you have a sense of control.
