      Ready to leave husband. Have several children. Currently pregnant again. Work for husband. Any job I get now I wouldn’t receive maternity pay. Do I fight for the business I’ve worked to build Even though it’s not in my name? Do I leave and end up on benefits? Youngest is only several months old and therefore I’m not entitled to any free childcare. Older children are in school. Baby due (detail removed by Moderator). Stayed too long because I love him. His ways won’t change. It’s gotten worse. Online infidelity has grown into physical infidelity. He’s emotionally abusive towards me through this infidelity and my belittling. I’m scared. I feel stuck. My business is full time, very demanding. I feel I deserve to have my home (above the business) and my job but I fear I need a clean break to cut ties with him. Worried babies brain won’t form ‘properly’ if I stay in a high stress environment like this

      Hi I do think infedelity is emotional abuse people try cover it up and say just cheating.but it’s abusive especially if it’s blatant and the other party never leaves knowing they are being a cheat .my ex was the same also several kids I had to end it for my mental health I was having panic attacks and started to feel worse I now need therapy for every thing he did.mine lived a dual life and planned a baby with both of us I had my baby I feel disgusted I kept questioning him but he kept denying it they are compulsive liars.it’s very hard when you have kids but look as a single parent your just as good as being on benefit as working I get a little bit more and work part time I’m not spending a penny on him like I used to or building him up only myself.can he not buy you out the business ?
