How do I end my marriage?

He's not speaking to me again, this time because I bought the wrong chicken for his sandwiches.

I asked him how long this episode was going to last and he said a fortnight so fuck that.

I gave up my career because he didn't speak to me for 3 days because his dinner was 20 minutes late on the table.

Had enough. He won't go to relationship counselling unless I admit that everything is my fault. I would be happy to try it if there was some compromise but there won't be.

He wants a perfect home and sex life but lives like a lodger and doesn't do anything only for himself, he thinks it's saving me a job because he makes his own lunches.

Married for 4 years, 2 DC. What do I do? Ask him to leave? What if he won't? How do we work money out if I stay in the house? I can't afford mortgage and bills on my own. Is he liable for half childcare while I go to work?

You can ask him to leave.
If the house is in both of your names then he is also liable for the mortgage.
He would need to pay maintenance for the kids but not necessarily half the child care costs.
Would he want 50:50 split of the DC?
Have a chat with CAB and find out what you would be entitled to.
Is there equity in the property?

He couldn't have 50:50, he leaves at 6am and isn't back until 6.30pm

Thanks, I didn't think of CAB.

He won't go at first because he's very stubborn, but he'll stew for a few days then 'volunteer'.
