Just really need advice.

Find Care & Housing
I think leaving will help my nerves but at the same time I didn't sign up to throw my life away. I need a hobby

Martina, you won't be throwing your life away, but instead will be taking your life back, and making yourself a priority.
And I bet when you do that, you will realize what you've been missing and won't ever again put up with the carp you've put up with thus far.

This is why woman should always make sure they are in the workforce. Makes it easier to walk away. I was lucky, I had my parents when my ex said he did not want to be married anymore. I had not worked for 3 years and had a one year old. I went home. I found a job because if my previous work experience and a year later was able to move into a small apt. I always had my foot in the door, part-time and full-time jobs.

We never know what others situations are. Not all woman can walk away.

So your caring for your MIL. As said leave and divorce him but that easier said than done. Do you have family who can take you in. If so, you immediately find a job so you can help with bills and start putting money away for a place of your own.

You maybe entitled to 50% of the marital assets. He may have to pay alimony till ur on your feet. If this caregiving is 24/7, meaning no time for yourself, thats slave labor. A good reason to leave. You really should have a lawyer guide you. You may be surprised what husband's responsibility is to you.

Move out and file for divorce. This person is only 52 according to your profile. Do your really want possibly 40+ more years of this?

I would:
1. Get a job
2. Rent a room
3. Leave hubby and MIL

Do you think this would work? If not, why not?
