Hi ladies,

I've been with my partner for 5 years, when we first met we both worked in the mines doing 80+ hrs per week..

Never had any dramas in our relationship except a bit of jealousy on his side due to me being female and work mostly with men.

3 years ago he had a surgery which changed his and our lives forever as he can no longer work at all. He lives in daily pain, deals with depression, anxiety stress etc... he refuses to see a counsellor as it didn't help him after 3 visits...

For myself, I'm the sole income for us. I pay the rent, food, bills, insurance etc.. I paid for a new engine in his car, (AU$12,000) and just paid out his car so he now owns it outright etc which I've never had a drama with but..

Over the last year he has gotten to the point where he tells me I'm the only reason he is still alive, threatens to crash car to get the payout so he can help us financially, we fight all the time and I've gotten so depressed.. I love him with all my heart and I don't won't to do life without him but it's at the point now where everything is affecting me and I'm struggling everyday..

Eg.. he is now always asking me if I'm loyal and if I've ever cheated on him? He is always telling me I would be better off with another man.. he doesn't seem to trust me.. he agitates me constantly when I'm on my period knowing that's when I'm most moody then calls me a moody bitch..

I don't want to leave him but honestly I don't know what to do..

I live with him, his family in a different state to all my family. I don't even have a car anymore :( I'm currently off work due to being injured onsite so that doesn't help...

Honestly if he was able to work I don't think we would have this drama but cause he can't and is sitting around all day trying to find something to do that's what's made life so bad for him and us...

I don't know what to do but needed to vent....
