Is there a reason you deal with this behavior?

I'm making moves to leave. We separated for a year a while ago and I moved back in because he said things would change. They didn't.
He's used me to build a business that has made him worth over £1m. I have a good job but walking away from that financial security is hard. I will lose everything and he will continue to reap the benefits of my labour long after I'm gone.
He also has good traits that I don't believe I'll find in another man, so it's hard to weigh up whether it's worth leaving sometimes. For example he's anti-porn, he's handsome, he's funny and we generally have a good time together. I still think I need to leave, but it's not as easy after 6 years of marriage.
I'm learning to drive and I'm saving up what I can. Once I get my licence I plan to leave.
