I think the first thing you need to do is to find a woman's shelter where you can go and be safe and make a plan. I live in Canada too, and in the city I live in, there are good resources for abused women to protect them and give them guidance. I hope you can find something similar in London. Call a Crisis Line or its equivalent and see what information you can get.
I hope you will keep reading and posting here and let us know how you are doing. You are definitely not alone in your struggles.
Thank you for your support. Wow, I find it really hard to think in terms of being "abused" by him. I guess, I've come from a background where this sort of behaviour is the norm and he is so amazingly convincing of being fine when he is sober... Because I am not in my home country, i do not think that those resources are open to me. I really, really appreciate your kind support.
