Heading in different directions

I feel at such a loss what to do. I KNOW what needs to be done, but struggle to make the final move.

DP and I need to end things. We both want such different things in life, and ultimately I am bored. We have a large blended family, with two young children together. We haven't had a holiday ever. My children have never been away anywhere. Once the children are in bed I work on my business, until the early hours, and am reaping the rewards. He also runs his own business which is failing. I pay for most things. He is content to sit at his desk indoors all day, even on a beautiful sunny day, while I want to get out and enjoy the day with the children.

We can go for weeks without arguing. But then when we do they're massive. We are both actually verbally abusive. He has broken things. I have thrown things.

I no longer want this!!! I certainly don't want my children growing up thinking this is acceptable, because it certainly isn't.

I've never been this way before, so why with him?

I should also say it is my house, I have asked him to leave numerous times. But he has no money, nowhere to go, no family to help him.
