Hi, I have been married for four years, with him for eight years. Increasingly, during this year, I've realised that marriage isn't really for me and I'd rather be single.
When I met my husband, I gave up my house and moved into his house, which is in his name only. My money is in an investment which I can't access until September 2026. That money is what was left once I paid off my mortgage. I will probably have enough for a 1 or 2 bedroom house when I can access the money.
I work full-time, but rents have gone up so much that, if I moved out, I would only have about £500 to £600 per month to live on even if I rented the cheapest possible house.
My daughter is a student and depends on my help. She hasn't got anywhere to go in holidays apart from my house. I have also helped her out with money whenever I can.
Do I make the best of things for nearly 3 years or do I leave sooner and hope for the best? Am I being selfish and letting my daughter down if I do leave?
I feel awful that it has to come down to money but I'm already working as hard as I can and I love my daughter so much. Should I stay for her sake?
