My husband has bruised me 3 times now in our marriage of 5 years, why is it too hard to leave when I don't even like him anymore.

I hate my husband. He drinks most nights and always starts arguing with me over things that are bizzare. For example tonight I was getting ready to take our 6 month old son to bed. My husband picked him up and smelled his nappy and said it needed changing so I said to change it. He does it but while doing it he started shouting at me about how some nights I change him before bed and some nights I don't. I tried to explain that he is in his night time nappy for a long time so I like to put him in bed with a fresh nappy but some nights I might have changed him 20mins before bed time do I don't change him again when I take him up unless he has had a poop or the nappy looks really wet again. To me this makes perfect sense but my husband just kept going on like I was wrong and that 8 should be consistent and he was getting really angry about it. He was drunk because he was slurring a bit but still I don't get why he was being so nasty about the nappy change. Its not like it even affects him because I take our baby to bed every night and will change his nappy upstairs if I think he needs a fresh one before putting him down. I was getting frustrated and annoyed at my husband for being such a dick about something that to me made perfect sense and doesn't even impact him so I started shouting back because his nastiness for no reason made me so angry. I told him what I thought and after saying he is slurring his words and is a drunk and a bully I poured his whisky down the sink out of anger. He then lost it and kicked me and would gave me the baby to take to bed so I went upstairs. 2 mins later he comes up with the baby and just dumps him on the bed and goes downstairs. I have a bruised ankle and an so upset that all this happened over nothing that needed to be an issue. This happens often but he has only grabs me or hit me and left bruises 3 times in 5 years. I never thought I would even put up with a man doing that to me once never mind 3 times. Partly coz I don't just let him bully me for no reason and I stick up for myself which ends up in screaming rows all the time. I have slapped him a few times when he has been screaming in my face, and I know I shouldn't and again 99% of the time it's over something that seems totally bizzare to be angry about. It gets me more upset because he usually starts something when I am happy and having a nice day/week. He also gets mad because I never want sex anymore but I hate him and he is so mean to me so often over stupid things that I don't want him near me! Before tonight we had been rubbing along OK and I was warming up to him and then he does this and I go to bed in tears and then he will get nasty with me about not giving him sex tomorrow or the day after. I don't even like him most of the time and he very rarely makes me happy.
