Where do I stand

After yet another argument instigated by DH over lack of sex - he threatened me with looking elsewhere, I'm really considering what to do. I can't bring up my much longed for children in this environment- where I'm put down, shouted at and treated with no respect.
My issue is, I stopped work when I had DD who is 4. I've been running my husbands companies from home and just had DS and supposed to be on "maternity leave" but that has never happened.
I've not been well, diagnosed with hypothyroidism after DD was born, lost 4 pregnancies and was very ill throughout DS (5months) pregnancy. TBH sex has been the last thing on my mind.
Where do I stand financially and where do I live? The house is in DH name. DD has just started a good school here. I'm close to my parents now and really settled. He on the other hand hates it here. He'd be back to London like a shot if he could. Financially I have not contributed to the house but I look after both children and work on the businesses to his gain.
I'm in such a muddle in my head - this is the first time in my life I've been financially dependant on anyone and I really don't know what to do.

You'll get a plethora of good & bad anecdotal legal advice on here which can muddy the waters, so leave it to the experts & seek some legal advice ASAP.

Do you think he was frustrated or genuinely meant it? Two schools of thought here. Some people would prefer to know another's intentions so they can both work on the issue whilst others would prefer people just walk if they feel like that.
It's obviously the elephant in the room for him, his way of bringing it up though was insensitive

If you want to know where you stand most family law firms do a free 30-minute consultation. Write a list of all your questions, book a free appointment and go armed so you make the most of the time. If you need to know more then do the same again with another family law firm. Get the facts OP. MN can hold your hand on the other stuff. Good luck!

See a divorce solicitor

Your marriage is over

And now I have to give him time as he's upset. And he's the one wanting to look elsewhere yet my feelings don't count.
I have absolutely nowhere to turn. If money wasn't an issue I'd be gone. I'm worth more than this.

Don't give him any time.
Jeez he's good I'll give him that.
Pay no attention to it all.
Walk away from him and go somewhere for a while.
Can you go on your own to see someone to talk it all through?
He drops this bombshell and then wants YOUR attention because HE is upset.
Fuck that!

You are married correct which makes a big difference. I would get a,solicitors appointment but yes in theory you are entitled to some of the equity of the house etc so the financial stuff is not a loss
