First time poster so not sure if this is the right place.
i have been with my partner for 7 years 4 years he bought a house and i moved in soon after we had a baby since then i have mentioned getting married but he says he told me a few weeks after we started dating that he doesn’t want to get married because he doesn’t like the permanence of it and doesn’t believe in marriage as they never end well. We have argued over it over the last few years and i found out that he told his family that i only want to get married so i can have claim on his house. Before the baby came along i paid half for the bills and food but when baby came i left my job and he started to pay for everything. Recently I started working again a minimum wage job and i pay for nursery and i have been saving whatever is left however now he hates that am saving to buy my own place and is now saying we should have a joint account that our salaries goes into and we should combine our finances. Before he told me he never wants to do that as he likes his independence. the issue is I would really like to be married but he is adamant thats never going to happen so I thought fine am going back to work so i can save up and have money for a deposit for myself since he has made me feel so unwelcome in his house. I tried to leave him as i was so unhappy but he threatened to take me to court if i took our child to temporary accommodation as he believes those places are unsafe for kids i fear i can not leave him because he will take the baby away from me. Him and his family have money and i have nothing and he has said many times that he would use whatever is available to him to try and keep the baby if we broke up. I don’t know what to do as i also don’t have family support. I am from abroad and have no one to help.
