DH works and I SAHM.

He earns a little more than 3 x our current mortgage.

I want to separate (although not necessarily divorce just yet).

But I don't have a leg to stand on do I? Its just dawning on me how hideous this situation is from a practical level, let alone the emotional one .

Can you advise?

Can you stick it out long enough to get him to pay for some more education for you in an area which would help you earn more? Or could he support you post divorce while you get a qualification?
