I feel stuck: Finances and husband

my husband and I have a beautiful 15 month old daughter. She deserves the best in the world. My husband was earning the most and I was at home. He was doing really well and eventually got complacent and stopped making any money. This was all when I had just given birth. Basically in a nutshell, I realised I was in a total dark, he did not earn any money for a long time, had unpaid debt and tax and just ownings. It has not come to a point where We both have to get a job to support the family, all of his earnings go towards his debt repayments and I support all expenses. My parents are supporting us financially at the moment too. He cares less He has just become angry, minds his own business and does not even spend time with our daughter or cook for her or even concerned. I am tired. I want a happy family but i see how unplanned he is and the way his parents didn’t do much for him he is doing the same for my daughter. His family has also given me so much pain. Throughout the pregnancy and after. I blocked them and have asked them to not to contact me again. But through all of this my husband was just quiet. He said nothing to them. He nicely let them walk all over us. He realises now - but the damage has been done. I feel stuck. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want my daughter to be at the receiving end of any of this. If I say I’d leave you m, he says okay 👍🏼 I don’t know how to get out I am not able to . I don’t even know if this is the right thing to do. Sorry for the rant- but I need advice

Sounds very toxic. If I were you I'd make it clear your not putting up with this behaviour. Give him an ultimatum and a deadline, if he doesn't make any effort to change, or if he does but doesn't follow through then leave

@EstelleI have been giving ultimatums for a long time. May be I am just being hopeful because my child is involved. I grew up with 2 loving parents and I want that for her But he is just too immature and angry I can’t keep my cool anymore I am scared he’d take my child away from me I had warned him of the finances and the situation very early on. He ignored me. I guess it is my fault for not making my own money. But it makes me so sad that when we should be enjoying our child and our time together, we are just distancing apart. My daughter can sense the stress

Oh girl leave him. Your kid will do amazing with one happy parent on her own, not one miserable parent and one toxic one. Because your child is involved, leave him. For her and for you.
