Advise. I think I need to leave my partner with my girl (3) and baby (3 months). The relationship is very turbulent and I’m at a complete loss. My partner is a great dad to my 3 year old but completely uninterested in the baby. I pushed the pregnancy on him after I very traumatically lost a baby (TFMR) and he decided after that he didn’t want another I’m doing it all on my own as he work and then comes home to work on our renovation which I really appreciate. However he but he seems to resent me and the baby. He never asks to see how I am or the baby and even said the other day it’s because he doesn’t care. I try to talk to him as we have been together a long time and I’m desperate to save my family but he shuts me out and refuses to talk to me for weeks. It’s been about 4 weeks of refusing to talk to me. He swears at me and talks to me with little to no respect even in front of my toddler. He says stupid questions get stupids responses. I don’t know what to do anymore. I think he is depressed but I don’t think I can excise his behaviour anymore, I want to leave but have no idea how to. I’m not able to work due to the baby and cost of childcare that we already pay for the toddler. How do I get out if I need to? How do I rent a house if I’m not earning? I can get a few months up front but I’m presuming without an income i will be refused? Feeling extremely trapped and family are supporting but no one local to stay with and my toddler is very settled where we are so desperate to stay in the area. 😔 at the moment we rent a house his dad bought for us so no way to sell up and split as it’s in his family name.

Could you stay with family even if they are not in the area or they are too far away ? Might be better to get further away for some time apart and go from there.
