I want to get away from my partner

This will be long- when I fell pregnant with my DD my partner decided to stay in the army even though he promised me at the end of this year he'd be out, so he can get his qualifications in mechanics and have a stable job- I did not mind this but he is so bad with money I knew this job wouldn't make a difference only in security, that it was already decided from him that I'd be a stay at home mum and expected to get a part time job to work from home, which isn't my ambitions but it is what it is.
We decided to move up north even though I'm from south, as his nans house was being sold and he had no where to go.
I'm now regretting moving from my grandads house who I've lived with my entire life as he is very lonely and I'm so use to caring for him. Now I'm alone too in this big house and new area, but my partner insists we can't move because of money- all though he wants to spend his tax rebate on a dog!!!?
Even though I'm receiving benefits I pay the most financially, leaving me with nothing to myself and he always manages money for nights out with his mates ect.

It is as easy as packing up and going. Everything can be sorted from a safe place, she's no need to stay there.

it doesnt matter if he says youre selfish. It doesnt matter what he thinks. He can think what he wants.

Fill a bag with as much as you can manage , get on a train with your baby and leave this waste of space to sort his own shit out !
You don't need his permission or ask his opinion
Just do it tomorrow

I'm guessing you don't drive. If I were in your shoes, I would wait until he goes back to base on a Monday, and then go and get yourself a train ticket home. Get yourself straight back to your grandad, somehow I think he will be absolutely overjoyed to see you and the little one.

Your horrible boyfriend can rant and rave all he likes, but he doesn't own you, or the baby. He can't force you to do anything. As other posters have said, the Army will not help him to take your baby away, and your mental health won't go against you.

Get your life back, lovey. Go home.

I thought you'd completely lost the plot Grin.

OP you go and make your grandad happy. Life is too short to be with a miserable controlling fucker.
