Together for almost 6 years, 1 child and a rented house. Things haven’t been great for a while and a comment a few nights ago has made me really think it’s time to end it.

Him “are you going to bed already?”
Me “yeah, I’m going to chill out”
Him “away you go then, you’re no use to me”
Me “that’s a bit much?”
Him “no point lying about it”

Annoyed because I didn’t want to have sex with him… we haven’t been intimate in months… I need to put on my big girl pants. Anyone with any advice/handhold? TIA

I would be thinking that the feeling is mutual and get started organising a life without him.

Yes, I think you've answered your own question. Definitely time to end it. If a partner made those comments to me, I definitely would not want to have sex with him or be anywhere near him.

You're no use to him? What a prick.

I couldn't get past a comment like that. So you haven't been intimate in months, and what has he done about it other than put the blame on you? Has he done anything to make you want to be intimate because a comment like that would turn me right off, forever.

If you're 'no use to him' make sure you really and truly are 'no use to him'. Stop doing anything for him, like if you do his washing, cooking, life admin etc and if he complains just say well i'm no use to you, so you obviously don't need me for anything, do it yourself.
And i'd also be looking at options to leave. As quite frankly, what use is he to you exactly? Other than to make you feel like shit?

Tell him to fuck off

People rarely change, he must have made similar comments years ago when you got together (or did you choose to ignore them and have a child with him anyway)?

As you have a child I'd suggest being as amicable as possible during and after the split, for your and dc's best interests.

Having said that, he's a nasty asshole.

I’m not very good with compliments so I’d always laugh and joke instead by this comment has really struck a nerve.

Being in a relationship doesn’t entitle you to on tap sex… especially when there’s little effort to support me round the house or with the parenting.

Apologues, just adding to my rant

Don't apologise, rant away. While you consider how life would be so much nicer without this idiot and his entitled arsehole comments in your life.
