He says that I would never walk away from him

[Kerryj7]

DP and father of our 3 year old made me feel incredibly small today.
We’ve been rocky and we argued today. Things went off subject and I told him how horrible he was being to me, constantly telling me he doesn’t love me or want me but still comes home every day.
He laughed at me and said along the lines of ‘It doesn’t matter how badly I treat you , you still stay and always will stay with me , you don’t have it in you to leave me’
’even if you knew I was cheating you still wouldn’t leave would you?’

That made me feel awful and worthless. I don’t know what to do or say?

Prove him wrong.

I mean me personally, I’d pack my bags up and prove him wrong.

That's a horrible thing for him to say

Please don't stay with someone who makes you feel small, awful and worthless - do you really want your 3 year old growing up thinking that's ok?

Prove him wrong and take steps to leave
He's not going to improve

I agree, you need to prove him wrong. I wouldn't tell him in advance but would be plotting my escape. I'd be looking at where to live, how much things will cost, whether I could get any support from the government, what kind of child support he'd have to pay, whether I needed to improve my skills at work, etc. I would make sure he couldn't find any of the information I'd discovered. Then, when I was ready, I'd be off. You deserve so much better than this.

’even if you knew I was cheating you still wouldn’t leave would you?’

Interesting phrasing. Most people would have said "Even if I was cheating..." I think he's just subconsciously told you that he's cheating already, you just haven't found out.

The arrogance of this man!

What a pig he is. Do what everyone else had suggested and start working out how you can leave. Is he violent as well? That sort of arrogance and nastiness often goes with violence. You might not want to announce that you are going if you think he might threaten or hurt you, but it sounds as if you should go as soon as you can .

I'd have been gone the minute that sentence left his mouth.

You deserve better than this!

You gather up every ounce of remaining strength and you prove him wrong by leaving him.

He has essentially just admitted to cheating on you, and saying he can treat you however he feels like.

This is not love OP. This is not a nice man.
Please do not waste your life on someone who can make you feel so awful on purpose.
You are worth a million times more than him. Remember that, and walk away.

Sounds like he's calling your bluff.
How awful to say that to someone he is supposed to love so much he's had a family with. He doesn't deserve to be with you.
Either sling him and his bags out, or make an exit strategy so you can leave.

Leave obviously

He’s sneering at your love, loyalty and trustworthiness as if these were weaknesses. Shows you what his values are. He doesn’t sound worthy of you, OP.

To echo others, I'd be gone. Do not stand for this.

Is he right?
Can he treat you with contempt and you'll stay forever?

You don't have to you know. You can prove to yourself you deserve better from life than being with someone who hates you.

Sounds like he’s trying to pressure you into being the one who calls time on this relationship by baiting you into leaving

Of course you know what to do.

He does not respect you, and where there is no respect there can be no love.

He tells you he does not love you?
You need to kick him out. Now.
He is a cruel piece of shite. You do not want your 3 year old to remember seeing him saying this to you.
Just tell him that you are breaking up and he needs to leave.
Do you have any family that can help you? Or is he treating you this way because you do not have money or a family to rely on? He is emotionally abusing you. Check if you can get help to leave him if you cannot afford and you do not have anywhere to go to.
But you need to chuck this pig out of your life and your child's.

Have my first ever LTB. Or chuck him out. Pack his shit, put it on the street.
Please find your self worth and use it to take out the trash. Your life and the future of your son will be greatly improved. I did this a few months ago. I’m in a wheelchair permanently, and have three children. If I can do it you can too. Ask for help from friends and family. Open up to them about how shitty he is treating you and therefore your child. Don’t put up with this. You are worth so much more. Life is worth so much more. Model a healthy relationship to your son- this isn’t it. Good luck.

Sort out where to live, or boot him out if it's your property. Then go to town on ghosting him.
Start a CMS claim. Leave him the login in details to a parenting app, then block him on every possible platform. Never see or speak to him again. No arguing or chats or pleading. Discard him like the trash that he is, and never accept such a shit male again.

Smile quietly to yourself, every time you remember his words. And plan for your life with your child and without him. Set a deadline. Say... out of this relationship by the end of September, or before. Don't say anything to him about it. Just do it.

This! Fuck that shit.

Simple. You leave. Screw him - he sounds vile.

Fuck that. I'd be on Rightmove tonight.

How can you be helped into leaving your, and in turn your child’s, abuser?. What do you want to teach your child about relationships and what is he/she learning here from you two?.
