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.

Make sure you get as much from him or the situation as you can before you leave. You don’t have to leave and struggle just because of the principle, look after yourself. World is not black and white.

What were the things you wanted him to change?
