Dear MIMsters: I Don’t Feel Appreciated, So I Have Come Up With a Plan

Hubby has invested in a business twice but the business didn’t work out. With the last one, when I told him not to invest in it, he called me a witch and refused sleeping in the house for 3 days and now, the business has collapsed. He came back begging, asking me to forgive him and I forgave him but since about six months now, I have been the one paying the bills of the family to the point that the small business I was doing packed up since we feed from the capital I am suppose to reinvest into the business and I had no plan B.

Yet, hubby doesn’t appreciate my effort. If there is no food at home, he will curse the living daylight out of me. Yesterday, when I didn’t prepare food because I had no money left, he asked me to pack my things and leave the house that he is tired of the marriage. This happened at about 12 midnight. He collected my baby from me and told me to go. I had to beg him, telling him he should allow me to stay because it is late. A while later, he said he was sorry and begged me not to leave.

He has just received a check from one of his debtors which is due to be cleared at the end of this month. He promised to give me some money when the check clears. I am thinking of enduring till the money comes and then take my child and leave. What do you think?
