B"H\nYou already know the answer as to whether or not you should leave, or you wouldn't be searching for the strength to do it.\n\nUnfortunately, nobody can give you that strength.  It has to come from your own self respect.  Why don't you take a vacation away from the situation and really put some thought into what YOU want and DESERVE out of life?  \n\nYou are royalty.  \n\nActualize that.  Act accordingly.

You don't HAVE to, but you shouldn't stay around for it. If you don't want to leave, get him counceling or anger-management or something.

It is easy to sit here looking in and say leave, but only you know what is right for you. If you are asking this question then you already have one foot out the door only you can decide if you want to walk all the way out. Look deep inside yourself and decide what you really want and what bothers you in the relationship. Tell him how you feel and if things don't change put that other foot out and start your new life.

Ivana,\n\nIf you feel that you can no longer live in your country, you should think about leaving.\n\nThen you need to think about where you would like to go and how you are going to get there. There are three ways of migrating:\n\n* as a skilled worker;\n* as a refugee or humanitarian;\n* as family reunion with relatives overseas or marrying a resident of another country:\n\nYou need to start developing a plan to get out.\nBeing a refugee should be avoided if possible.

First, see if you can't do something to get unstuck - individual or joint counseling, church, communicating more, etc.\n\nIf it is hopeless, then you must decide if staying has more benefits for all concerned than leaving. \n\nChange what you can, and accept what you can't change.

just take a stand and ask yourself if this is how you want to live the rest of your life? cause chances are, within a couple of years, you'll probably leave anyway...so look at all the extra time you wasted....good luck.

this is not something simple. i've been through something similar to what you are talking about and got stuck in a 5 years relation just because i was afraid of leaving. By time he might get more and more agressive and possesive. My advice is to leave now and not to postpone but you should also learn how to stand up to what you think is right and where your benifit is. you should not leave your job because he's there, ignore him and if he does not like it then let him leave the job not you.... My heart is with you take good care

Just tell him you don't want to be together anymore.  Then leave and start your new relationship.  If you are married you need to file for divorse then move on.\nYou need to have time on your own it sounds like.  Make up your mind on what you want.  Then start thinking of who you want to be with.

If you honestly feel as if the relationship is something you can't handle, then you should get out. Just be sure that if you do decide to leave her, make sure she understands why you are leaving. You're leaving not neccessarily because of her kids, but because you aren't ready to be a father figure and you'd like to travel. Make certain she understands this and be sure to use "I" statements so as to not put her on the defensive side of things.

Depends on the situation. Always be honest about why you are leaving. Be as honest, but put a positive spin, on answering the questions of prospective emloyers.
