Relationships

Feel so trapped - need a hug

Posted before about my rubbish relationship. My partner is a total mummy’s boy, we don’t have a love life, everything is on his terms and about what he wants and needs, he has terrible mood swings, will sulk and ignore me for days over the slightest thing. It’s miserable.

The relationship between us has been bad for years. I have 3 children (2 with him). We live in his house and he pays most the bills. I work part time, my youngest is 2yrs old and my eldest special needs.

I’ve realised that things are never going to change. I’ve tried everything. I’ve decided that I can’t live like this anymore.

i’ve spoken to the council, they can’t help housr us unless he writes a letter to say he is chucking us out, which he refuses to do. (He is happy with the way things are, he doesn’t care that I am so unhappy). There are hardly any private rentals around here, rents are so high and most landlords wouldn’t rent to me.

i feel so trapped. What do I do?

Stay? Keep my head down & mouth shut until I am in a better position to find somewhere to live?

I feel so down. Thanks for reading.

Have you spoken to women's aid? He is being abusive so they may be able to help you or at least advise.

Get someone else to write the letter and sign it in his name.

That’s an idea. Or at least write the letter and just ask him to sign it.

I’ve spoken to Womens Aid before, they would only be able to offer hostel and miles away. He isn’t violent so don’t want to take a space from a family in danger. Also, don’t really want to put kids through that. Feel selfish. Kids have nice home here, its me that’s so unhappy.
