I'm so deeply unhappy.

Posting here, don't know where else to post.

31 weeks pregnant, living with partner who makes £30,000 a year.

I have a job that makes £15,000 a year, but due to pregnancy related illness I'm signed off, only on Statutory Sick Pay now, and unable to return before maternity leave. I will not get maternity pay, maternity statutory pay, or maternity allowance because I wasn't earning in my test period. Zilch.

I want to leave him. We have separate finances, I live in HIS house so pay no rent/bills but only have SSP to live on, a grand total of £280?ish a month. I have £30 to last me the next 25 days.

I'm not entitled to ANY benefits whilst living here because they take him into consideration and the fact he earns 30,000+ yet (although I can't work because I'm pregnant with OUR baby we've still split everything 50/50 and I have £300 to live on per month, another issue thoughtless man) and I don't have any money to private rent or move out. I have no family to stay with. I literally don't know what to do.

Has anyone any advice? I don't think that I would keep going if it wasn't for this baby. I love her, she's my whole world, she has the perfect nursery here, everything she could ever want for, but I can imagine myself being chucked out and need a stable home.
