I have been with my husband since 20th December 2016. I was 17 he was 23. He couldn't speak English but I didn't mind because I had been messed around so many times by shit guys and my family letting me down and I thought this man is going to look after me.

He got me away from my alcoholic mother and I was so happy. We moved in after 3 weeks together and he looked after me and we loved each other. Our daughter arrived on the 29th March 2018. We found out we were pregnant again on 1st January 2019. This pregnancy has been miserable for me. He hasn't taken an interest in this pregnancy like he did my daughter. Its been full of stress and deadlines. My husband had been illegal in the country for 10 years. He arrived when he was 16 years old. I helped him get his first ever form of ID in July after hours of research and learning because we couldn't afford a lawyer.

He received his ID on 8th july. I had to drive him 4 hours up country just to get a decision on the 4th July but we were missing a document and had to send it in so we had to go home empty handed. My ankles were like balloons but he still treated me like I wasn't pregnant that he was 1st place and had to go to sleep first. I am due 14th September.

He works 6 days a week and I have to do all the chores and look after our daughter and he gets to sleep all day on his day off. I had to do this even with extreme morning sickness up until 18 weeks. He doesn't come home in those 6 days a week because he says coming home is too tiring for him. Which I dont mind because he wrecks the routine I have in place so my life is easier when he is not there.

Well he has suddenly decided he is going to open a shop with his cousin. Who has let him down hundreds of time and even stole money from his friends and he is choosing this man to open a shop with.

I went to see the shop the accommodation it comes with and its mouldy and damp and completely not suitable for 2 small children. I have refused to follow him. the shop is 2 hours away. The home I have now is clean and damp free and has a garden and is the best place for our children. He makes £620 a week and is on amazing money but he says it's not good enough.

I am due in 6 days we have been fighting about this shop for the last 2 months. I've been begging him not to do it but he tells me to shut my mouth and to look after his children and he will pay me money.

I just want my children to have their father. I was a result of one night stand so I have never had the chance of having a father I didn't want it for my children. We got married on the 26th June 2019. I thought we were doing it for love but now its starting to pile on that he probably did it for ID. I had values that I would marry the man I had children with and we wouldnt get divorced but now I am realising my marriage is just a marriage of convenience.

Hes broken my heart picking the shop and money over me and our children. I am frustrated. Today he told me he is going to see he shop again tomorrow on his only day off. all morning he has been reassuring me the shop was going to be put aside but now he drops that on me. Here are the screenshots of the conversation we had. He is chinese and he doesn't have the English skills to fight me much so we use translate.

Then I sent this to his cousin as he refused to tell me anything

What would you do? I honestly dont know how to cope.
