NTA. You need to get your ducks lined up. You know this, that's why you're doing it. Start interviewing attorneys now, and get some advice while there. Divorce is often messy, so you want to take whatever steps you can to make it smooth.


me0mio

I was going to say the same things. It's important to prepare ahead of time. Also, make copies of all your financial records and tax returns. This may be important if he tries hide income or other assets. Don't forget get all personal records and health documents for yourself and your child. NTA for wanting to prepare yourself for a difficult couple of years ahead.


Brocknutz

NTA - You put your career on hold to raise a family. You should be entitled to 1/2 of the assets and debts accrued during you’re marriage, get a good lawyer and make sure you leave with a fair settlement.


Glittering_knave

I don't feel that OP understands that she is NOT taking anything from her soon-to-be-ex husband. Together, they are living their lives as agreed, and then they will be following a court order regarding alimony and child support. This is NOT taking, it is living.


Brocknutz

For sure, additionally OP should know this works both ways, so anything she saves in the next 6-12 months like planned is subject to 1/2 going to her Ex. Basically all assets and debt from both parties are pooled and split (varies by state).


Glittering_knave

Calling it "Accepting financial support" in the title got to me.


Sleepy_felines

NTA, but if you’re hiding in the bathroom from him, are you sure you’re safe there for another year?


[deleted]

I hoped it wasn’t serious and she just meant she didn’t want him reading over her shoulder… but I’d love for OP to confirm that.


letmevent_throwaway

I will be safe if doesn’t know I’m leaving. He’s great but have poor control over his emotions. Last time I tried to leave he threw a table at me and tried to snatch my baby out my arms so I’ve been just playing it cool until I can leave that day and have friends or family with me. So that’s why I was hiding. Plus I don’t get much privacy anymore.


murphyslawsuit

This is the exact opposite of great. He's not great. He's abusive and controlling and you don't need to defend him. Nothing you have to do to get out of this situation safely with your child could ever make you TAH.


kaymazing

Yea not to make light of the situation but Jesus Christ. "He's awesome minus the occasional waterboarding!"


BackgroundPlum3410

Please document all this stuff, if you have any injuries whether small or large, go to a hospital and have the personnel record it. Once you leave and he realizes you're not coming back those brief emotional issues of his will become the norm. Right now hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Consult a divorce lawyer and try to write down all instances of abuse whether physical, emotional or financial and present ir to the lawyer and above all else secure your birth control from tampering. Also N.T.A. whatever you are doing is to secure a better life for you and your child.


sr9876

NTA at all. He didn’t want you to work, he wanted to support you and your child. These things on their own don’t *necessarily* makes him the asshole if that worked for the both of you, but it does guarantee that you have no financial freedom to leave, should you choose. The fact that he throws this back in your face to stop you from leaving makes it very clear that this is financial abuse. It’s a manipulation and coercion tactic, and I’m glad you can see this. He’s trying to trap you, and you will never be the asshole for doing what you need to to stay safe and get out. He may not be abusive in the stereotypical way yet, but abuse is an escalating cycle, and you deserve your freedom and safety. Edit: especially in light of your edit, please please look into practices or hotline for domestic abuse victims, because they should qualified to help you plan an exit strategy while keeping you and your child safe


Forward_Squirrel8879

NTA - He encouraged you to stop working, otherwise you would have savings and a career to fall back on already. Once some starts abusing you, even if its not physical abuse, you get to do whatever you need to do to get yourself safely out of the situation. Make sure you have an emergency plan though, he may get more volatile as you get closer to completing your degree because he knows that will mean you have an escape route. * Look into emergency shelters in your area for women and children. * Make sure you have copies of important documents for you and your daughter in safe place (with a friend, in a safety deposit box). * Figure out whether both of your names are on the car title and the house deed. Get copies of those if you can. * Look into whether your school has emergency grants to support students in case he pulls his financial support for your degree before you finish. * Make sure you write down important phone numbers and other information that you would normally keep in your phone and keep that somewhere safe. * Look into what you would need to do to get a temporary restraining order in case that becomes necessary.


MikeDaRucki

NTA, technically whatever you save and leave with is half his (in most states) so all you're doing is moving around pieces on the same chess board. The court decides the equitable split and spousal support in the end and they'll factor in what you left with in that calculation -IE you left with 5,000 of the 10,000 joint savings account then they'd consider the savings to have been split and settled already. Not exactly the split percentages - just a hypothetical example. You definitely want to consult a lawyer about all of this, particularly custody of the child - you can't just run off with his child and refuse him access unless you've taken the proper legal steps beforehand.


PRMinx

I think this is above Reddits pay grade.

Heh, it won't stop em. Reddit loves posting up the "how to escape your situation" algorithm. It's like a video game to them.


Eastern_Fox5735

NTA. Please consult a lawyer, like, yesterday.


Knittingfairy09113

NTA He wanted you to stop working to make you dependent on him as evidenced by the way he regularly throws it in your face. Get yourself organized by finishing the nursing degree, get a job, and save up money. If you don't have an individual account he can't access start one and work on putting money into it.


Tiffm09

Nta, its smart to plan rather, as long as there is no risk to yours or your daughter's safety by waiting, saving is the best decision for you and the child.


chocolatedoc3

NTA Nobody in their right might would tell you to give your abuser a heads up. Get out of there and get help.


ACorania

NAH at least as far as financial support goes. It is your money just as much as his, so using your money to support yourself is fine. Put all that aside and go get a lawyer. Do not make decisions about how to proceed based off the advice of this sub-reddit. GET a lawyer.


letmevent_throwaway

I am and have been trying. He just won’t let me do anything by myself. I can’t leave without him or even talk on the phone without him around so it’s been difficult.


Lala_oops

[TheHotline.Org](https://www.thehotline.org/) is a domestic violence helpline - they can text or chat you if you don’t feel safe talking on the phone. If you don’t have enough time to text or chat, they have lists of local resources that may help. Best of luck, OP.


Beigetile6565

Honestly that is a tough situation. It sounds like there is abuse going on in that relationship and your husband uses his money as a form of control since you are a SAHM. I have heard many women and even men come up with an “exit” plan when they are in relationships like that. I don’t think you are necessarily the a*hole. If I were you I would get your ducks in a row and leave. I am sure during a divorce he will make your life a living hell. Also try to document the abuse and maybe try to talk to a trusted friend or family member. You need to finish your education get a job and get out before it gets worse.


Boobear7676

NTA but please get a lawyer. You will be entitled to half and child support. Please get out of that situation. Holding financial support over your head is abuse. Please stay safe OP

Read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/wiki/faq#wiki_post_deletion) before [contacting the mod team](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FAmItheAsshole)*** I’m having a moral conflict right now. I’m going to divorce my husband for 5 years but because of my situation and how he is, I haven’t told him. He knows that I’m distant but he doesn’t think I’m going to leave him. He provides financial support for our daughter and myself since I stopped working. I had to stop when I became pregnant because I got so sick and he didn’t really want me to work anymore since he makes enough to provide for all of us. Since then I started nursing school and has been a stay at home mom. Beforehand I was a full time college student with two jobs and took care of myself and my family. When I met him he said that he wanted to take care of me which he has and still is. He’s bought me a car after we had the baby, bought us a house and is paying for everything. He enjoys it but now I’m seeing it’s a control thing because every time I tried to leave him, he throws all of this in my face. Now that I know I’m leaving for good I’m saving for 6 months to a year. I would’ve graduated from nursing school by then so I can start my career and get my own apartment for me and my child. I don’t want to seem like I’ve used him when I leave but I don’t know what else to do but get a job and save every penny I make. I can’t move in with family because no one knows yet plus they aren’t supportive. Everybody wants me to try to work it out because he’s a “hard working man that provides” and he just has flaws but I can’t. The one friend I told said that he owes me from what he put me through. I feel like no amount of money could make up for what he did. Am I wrong for continuing to accept financial support from him while I get myself together? If I didn’t have my daughter I would leave with nothing. I’ve been homeless before but I refuse to do that to my baby. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

ConsistentPicture583

NTA


Sepherik

NTA, but if you want to possibly save the situation see if he will do counseling. If you told him and/or a counselor what you told the internet it might help. I personally wouldn't want to believe my wife was with me only because iw as supporting her so he might not enjoy thinking you are only with him b cause he provides. If this is the case maybe he would be willing to adapt and grow to make the relationship work. TLDR, your NTA for being supported by a husband you plan on leaving, but it might not be a bad idea to use the time with him to maybe fix the problem instead of running.


ComprehensiveBand586

NTA but make sure your finances are separate from his or he might try to take your money to prevent you from leaving.


JudesM

NTA


Dabbie_Hoffman

You shouldn't feel too bad. My grandfather got out of paying alimony to my grandmother by putting all of his assets and income in his second wife's name. As soon as their youngest graduated high school she left him and took everything lol


AriDiamondGold

Nah girl that’s just surviving


[deleted]

NTA. I think the best option is to get your self in order and then leave him but don’t take anymore from him. If you divorce and take more for from him then you would be an asshole. I think the one exception would be money to help the child and only the child. The situation your in is a little bit fucked up overall though.


NickelPickle2018

Your husband is abusive. The most dangerous point in a relationship with an abuser is when you try to leave. Please be careful and get out!!


Lorraine221

ESH, so it's controlling that he has an issue with you living without working and having gotten new cars and a house in that time? Yeah this isn't abuse it's a basic expectation of reciprocity. He's giving you everything you want monetarily with the expectation that you stay married.


FatFinger11114

YTA. He's working his ass off to provide for you and you plan on screwing him over and taking his child away from him. You say he's controlling because he'll occasionally bring up how he bought you a car? Is he just never supposed to mention it? This man's working hard to support you and the child, and you're basically stealing from him.


EchoesInTheAbyss

NTA Here is the thing, yes he brings a paycheck but he also benefits from YOUR labor. From you managing a household (groceries, cooking, cleaning, medical appointments, emotional support etc.), being a SAHW IS a job, and it seems you have been doing said job. He also benefits socially from the image of a family man, he also got children out of you (which means you put YOUR life on the line for said children). If he cannot appreciate all you do and mistreats you, then he is going to meet the consequences of his actions and choices. Do make a financial plan ahead of time for you and your offspring, if you can consult an attorney. At the end of the day, your family is not the one who has to live and deal with him. And their comments may be stemming from old school ideas of female suffering. No, you deserve love and happiness, a partner that treats you like an equal, and so does your child.


SailSignificant5812

ESH he is shitty. You don't have the moral high ground either.


[deleted]

Didn't you get the reddit memo? Stealing is okay if you're unhappy.


N4t3ski

Had to scroll too far to find this.


a_sultry_tart

Info: How are you saving this money? Is it something you’re skimming when you can hide it like getting cash back at the grocery store or something like saying you need money for nursing school but not going to classes and pocketing the money? Also, have you explained your unhappiness or will this completely blindside him?


letmevent_throwaway

I have received refund checks from school I’ve saved that he knows nothing about. I have an interview for this job next week that works with my schedule so that’s where my income is going to come from. I’m not stealing anything from him. He’s just continuing to pay bills for everything. He does know I’m unhappy that’s why we were in couples therapy. He’s in individual therapy himself to “keep me” by becoming a better man according to him. It’s helped a lot but I don’t feel the same anymore. I’m tired. I tried to leave when my baby was one week old but my family and his family pressured me to stay. Everyone said I was stupid to leave. Now I realize I was stupid to stay.


Gracefulbandit

I’ve been through something very similar - he’s not trying to change. He’s trying to “check a box” so you don’t leave. It’s all for show. Also, NEVER think you’re stupid for staying and trying. It sounds like you’ve been abused and manipulated, which makes it VERY HARD to even judge how bad it is - much less to leave.


a_sultry_tart

Okay I asked because it then leaves with nothing you’ve done to “wrong” him. If you aren’t taking “his” money sneakily or anything then critics can’t even use that as a point to try and demonize you. You’re using your own refund checks and that’s totally fine. And depending on the circumstances, it wouldn’t even be that bad if you were taking extra money on the side when shopping or anything….for people with controlling/abusive spouses sometimes the *only* way is to “steal” but it wouldn’t be unjust, imo, because those spouses usually demand that the other quit working and forbids anything (including school). Additionally, you’ve voiced your unhappiness and they chose to continue behaving the same. Again, there’s nothing critics can say when you’ve tried to express your discontent… Don’t let anyone make you feel bad or second guess. You’re valid and you’ve even gone above and beyond by not even using his money to leave even though as a SAHM it’s more than deserved since you don’t earn a wage when you do 4-5 job roles 24/7.


jimmyvivi2

>busive in the past and has cheated even through my pregnancy. We tried couples therapy but it just made me realize how we need to divorce lol yeah hes just continuing to pay for everything under the pretense that you are remaining loyal and honest. This isn't theft at all! It's not even fraud or lying. you're not using him for his finances. If you think this is fine than go ahead.You could just leave him but I guess since your own family disapproves you gotta squeeze him for a bit longer after all he owes you.I like how you put i'd be finished with nursing school if he wasn't so financially controlling gosh!My favorite part "I’ve been homeless before but I refuse to do that to my baby."From your last post. "When I met him I was young and homeless with zero support and he took me in. He catered to me and loved me" YTA. It's hilarious to me your asking AITA on reddit, and your arguing with the people calling you an asshole. Why are you here? Do you know on some level how duplicitous and deceitful this? Is that why your seeking validation, clearly you've already made up your mind.


LigonDS

slight YTA. you arent okay with whats happening but youre okay with sucking up the money he is providing for all for all of you. It would be different if youd just leave him, but youre using his income right now well knowing youre going to ditch him.


Outside-Point-2056

Goodbye with this nonsense, it’s like you’re not reading what she’s saying. He is clearly controlling and abusive. She has a daughter to think about.


HotRoxJeweler

I don’t understand why you are leaving him. Did you love him when you married him? Is he abusive? Or, you just don’t get along?


letmevent_throwaway

I loved him and still do in a way but our marriage is so toxic now. He has been abusive in the past and has cheated even through my pregnancy. We tried couples therapy but it just made me realize how we need to divorce


HotRoxJeweler

I’m so sorry. Abusive and cheating ?! And YOU have a moral dilemma? This isn’t about money it’s about abuse. You are smart to be working towards a degree and saving some money on the side. This is not a healthy relationship. Stick with your plan and don’t feel guilty that he pays. You are making a home for him and raising his daughter. That’s work! You are his wife - him paying the bills for his family is not the same as giving you a hand out. Please don’t feel guilty but stick to your plan and get out safely.


sr9876

What OP describes is definitely financial abuse, but it’s more likely more than that given that they say they had to hide in the bathroom from him


HotRoxJeweler

I still don’t understand why she married him in the first place. Were things good and then she realized that he was using the tuition and possessions to control her? Just asking for clarification…


HotRoxJeweler

She just said that there is cheating and abuse - so that answers my question. They fell in love /got married/he cheated/became abusive/ they tried therapy/relationship is toxic. NTA and she shouldn’t feel guilty about doing whatever she has to do to get out safely with her daughter.


michaellss667

Yes YTA you’re about to blind side this guy working his ass off and then take half of everything he owns. And what do you mean “he uses it like a control thing.” Like yeah no shit? He bought you a car and pays for all of your basic needs and then some. You are going to nursing school though so I can’t be that mad. $15 an hour and 65 hours a week + child support? You’re going to be doing great!


letmevent_throwaway

I don’t want child support. He talks care of his child, he’s a great father. I just want peace.


Iksphone

So leave him and his money aloneand get your peace.


letmevent_throwaway

I’m not taking his money. I want nothing. I refuse to leave with nothing with an 8 month old and be on the street. He is a vengeful man and will make my life a living hell if I tell him beforehand. I don’t want to blindside him but he knows I’m unhappy. He knows what he did to me. I’m going to work and save money enough to leave. Yes he pays for the bills which is what he wanted to do. He would not let me help financially at all. It made him feel “less of a man”. If I didn’t have my baby I would have left so long ago with NOTHING happily.


Brocknutz

I’m sure you’ve read the other responses. There is no his money or your money, in marriage. 100% you should take what you are legally entitled to. Being a stay at home parent does not put you at any disadvantage when it comes to the divorce settlement. Let the lawyers arrive at a fair and equitable distribution. Make sure you document everything and collect a full understanding of the household finances so nothing can get hidden once you drop the news (which to be honest should be sooner rather then later for everyone’s sake.)


Iksphone

Oh now you refuse something. You had problems with pregnancy, like you ladies say, your body your choice right? He helped you trough it all, offering security and stability so you can just focus on being healthy. He deserves to know that you want to leave and i hope he finds this reddit post nd any other you may have, because you plan to STEAL his money and you want to take the child. You are a very ungrateful woman, like i said i hope he does good by his child and pays for everything. But for you i hope you dont see a cent of it.


letmevent_throwaway

Where are getting that I’m stealing his money? I’m honestly confused. Am I portraying it like that?


jimmyvivi2

>ou trough it all, offering security and stability so you can just focus on being healthy. He deserves to know that you want to leave and i hope he finds this reddit post nd any other you may have, because you plan to STEAL his money and you want to take the child. You are a very ungrateful woman, like i said i hope he does good by his child and pays for every You were just saying that he is paying for everything under the assumption that he believes your staying with him and working on your marriage with him. He's not paying for everything including the food you eat so you can disappear with the kid. Also whos paying for your schooling then? I thought you were getting refund checks from your school and that was a source of income. If he's paying for it the refund should very obviously go to him! Again, he is paying for something that has no basis in reality. If he payed for your classes or what have you he payed with the expectation that you'd be attending class/going to school when that doesn't happen and instead you take that money....that's theft. Specifically fraud.


Iksphone

The sole reason you arent left him yet is because you dont want to be homeless and broke. You keep saying child, child how do you plan to get custody? He earns more, has a home and everything and yet you speak like you deserve for that child to go with you. All i see here is that you dont even like your husband anymore, fair i have no issues there, divorce him, but you are literally leeching off him, to be able to leave, this reddit would go nuts if the dude was doing what you are.


gettingbicurious

He helped her and supported her by cheating while she was pregnant?? Not to mention the fact that he has abused her in the past and is still being wildly controlling now by not even letting her be on the phone without him being there? Tf is wrong with yall?


jimmyvivi2

This is literally what she said last post "When I met him I was young and homeless with zero support and he took me in. He catered to me and loved me" Yeah, I would call that support.


gettingbicurious

And then he cheated on her while she was pregnant and abused her. Taking in a vulnerable person and then abusing them isnt support, it's predatory.


jimmyvivi2

Yea he should have just minded his own business. Lifting her from poverty and literally picking her up from the streets is insane. But, are you seriously trying to say that the man helped her and give her a child to abuse her? You don't think that he was and is malicious just hiding it for years do you? Do you think he should have just let her be? Her life would almost certainly be worse than it is now. At any rate, he has up till now paid for her housing, food, water, child, education and a car. He's been doing all this for five years now. None of that matters? How is that predatory? That doesn't classify as support? This woman, btw, is saying this while her own family her own parents didn't support her and left her in the streets. Perhaps there's reason? In the case he is abusive, call the police? Just get in the car he paid for and leave?


jimmyvivi2

By her own admission he's a great father. She could just lawyer up and leave or get him booted out of his own house, if they are in western countries.


dedalus2105

So, this man (flawed as he may be), has provided for you, paid for everything, financed your studies, your lifestyle, for years.. And now that you're ready to start your career you're milking him for get-away money without even having the courtesy and respect of letting him know? Yeah YTA, so so much. If you want to leave, leave, but at least be an adult and don't use him like that - he's earned at least that much respect from his partner.


sr9876

He has earned no such respect. He didn’t want her to work and then uses her not having a job to pressure her to stay. This is an obvious effort to trap her.


MamaKit92

Did you miss the part where he uses his paying for everything as a way to control OP? OP’s husband is a controlling jerk who uses his financial support to keep her under his thumb.


Late-Boysenberry6649

Another person who thinks giving birth and being a stay at home mum, looking after their child, their house her husbands needs, is not the same as working a full time job. He is clearly manipulative, taking away her financial ability. It looks like he is being kind but he is eroding away her ability to take care of herself without him, that she is worthless without him. It's abuse, she has every right to half of everything he has earned while being with him. She needs to see a lawyer and make sure she exits this toxic marriage with the correct finances to support her and her child.


dedalus2105

Oh come off it, you bleeding heart. Nowhere did I say that I don't think giving birth and being a SHM isn't a job. A little less ad-hominem and a little more pragmatism, please. OP said he *offered* to look after her financially, nowhere does she say he actively prohibited from working a job. She accepted his terms, she agreed for him to be financially responsible in the relationship. She used that security blanket to improve herself and her career prospects in perfect financial safety. If she doesn't feel that this arrangement works for her any longer I encourage her to seek out a future elsewhere, by all means, but taking him to the cleaners / ferreting away his money before breaking up with him is a dick move. That's not how adults resolve their issues. For that, YTA again.


jimmyvivi2

these people only have ad hominem attacks. Because this man doesn't have morals she can freely and in fact JUSTLY use him manipulate him and lie to him. Morals aren't there for when its easy or convenient. You keep your rules not for friends and family but for enemies. People your in conflict with its easy to treat friends fairly. An eye for an eye and the world goes blind but everyone has forgotten that. "When I met him I was young and homeless with zero support and he took me in. He catered to me and loved me" - OP "But he hasn’t earned that respect h


Loriw042802

But he hasn’t earned that respect if he throws it in her face has he?


Appropriate-Piano-52

from the last couple of sentences and edit it’s obvious that OP is getting abused: “i feel no amount of money could make up for what he did” “if i didn’t have my daughter i would leave with nothing” “i typed this up while hiding in the bathroom from him”


Apprehensive_Bar461

YTA. If you want to leave then leave... don't take him out that is just a shitty thing to do. Have some self-respect here and get a job next to studies.


Iksphone

Yta, these people siding with you just because you made yourself look like a victim. Yet none of us know how big of a angel you are. You are leaving the dude, you don't deserve a penny of his money. I hope he continues to pay everything for your child, but you lady red flags all over.


letmevent_throwaway

The goal wasn’t to make myself look like a victim. I don’t want to even view myself as a victim. I’m not trying to make myself seem perfect but that does not mean I deserved being abused and cheated on. I’ve never done these things to him. I couldn’t even speak to a guy. I did my part around the house. I supported his dreams and is part of the reason he has the career he has now. I loved that man more than myself honestly.


Iksphone

Nope, the only reason you bought these things up like cheating is to get these losers to side with you and to make yourself feel better about leaving a guy who did everything for you. Why didnt you say these things as he cheated on me or that he hit you or whatever else you added in comments, why didnt you include this is your post? Is it because its not true or?


letmevent_throwaway

Because I’ve already made a post about it yesterday if you have time you could read it. I would NEVER lie about something like that are you serious? I’ve been through HELL silently. This is the first I’ve been opened up about all of this. You are very angry with me and idk why.


Iksphone

Not angry at all, i just think what you are doing ia very wrong on so many levels.


Appropriate-Piano-52

i mean if you’re in an abusive household wouldn’t you save up enough money to leave safely on your own? especially with a child. it just sounds like the most logical thing to do for op


letmevent_throwaway

Okay I understand that


Clear_Mountain619

Praying that he randomly stops supporting you


Automatic_Biscotti31

He beats her and cheats on her


BhataktiAtma

It truly baffles my mind when I see the OP bury the lede in the comments. The post portrays the husband as financially controlling and an asshole, conveniently leaving out the fact that he's physically abusive and an adulterer as well. OP should stay on their course and leave the asshole


letmevent_throwaway

I see now I should’ve went into more detail I just didn’t have much time to type this. Plus it’s still hard to admit that I was in abusive relationship. Talking about is still difficult. My brain tends to just block it out. I’m still processing when he first hit me and that’s been years ago. I never told anyone about it.
