    Who cares if he is going through hard times. The op deserves better and his treatment to her is abuse! To the original poster,lose the loser and get out of this relationship.You deserve better than this.

    yep. I've been there and done that, and it turned physical in the end.

    Your health visitor can help you make arrangements (mine was really good) and you have an excuse to be there.

    Oh, and get some auto lessons. I did and it's great. Point car, stop, go. I'm ready to go back to manual now, but it got me a lot of valuable road sense!

    Hi forgive me if Im wrong but from the way you phrase things in your post, it sounds as if English is your second language. You also say that your family dont live close by.
    Some men like to isolate their partner in order to feel superior and to have full control. All his actions point towards a man who is scared . The only way to deal with him is by becoming as independent as you can. Find a local mothers and toddlers group or if your children are older a childrens club where you can meet other parents.

    Health visitors are a good for putting you in touch with groups that can help you . Your self esteem sounds as if its at rock bottom and wont be improved by this bully of a partner. As someone has said he is being abusive and it may be that womens aid is a good option for you.

    Don't let him try and teach you how to drive, i couldn't do it as i'd lose patience, so with your already unsteady relationship and obvious lack of confidence, this is one small area that you can stop doing as i can imagine it is very stressful for you both.
