Perfectionist OCD partner

Perfectionist OCD partner - I've been with my partner 4yrs we have a 3yr old. First year of parenting involved him nit picking my parenting (which has been hard to forgive) then We went into lockdown which was really hard as we lived in a flat and were on top of each other. We've moved now and are in a house and things are better, he has relaxed a bit but still has phases of obsessively cleaning and doing diy jobs perfectly with small jobs taking a very long time because he fusses so much. We dont interact much as soon as my daughters in bed so am I. Things are just ticking along. He only leaves the house 2 days a week to go to work and drop my daughter off at my mums otherwise he's always at home which I find stifling. I try and keep our contact to a minimum. I pay 50% of everything and have done throughout, even on Mat leave. Feel like I'm just staying for my daughter and also financially as not sure I could buy someone on my own. I'm holding out for family inheritance or winning the lottery. It's hard to keep going sometimes with things as they are but can't see a way out... is anyone else staying in their relationship for similar reasons?
