There is an angle that you may not be considering. This man is like a ball and chain, a user that sucks the life out of you. He is taking all he can get--your happiness, your sanity, your health, your emotional welfare, and your finances. Every day that he continues to chip away at these things you have less than the day before. If you stay until the end, you'll both have nothing because he won't stop taking until there is nothing left to take. That is what takers do and most likely he won't ever feel a shred of guilt over it. The alcohol helps him keep the guilt at bay. How convenient.

You may be prolonging your suffering in hopes of receiving money that won't be there when you finally decide to move on.

And here's another angle you may not be considering. Once you are free of the old ball and chain, you will be able to thrive physically, emotionally, and financially because the taker of all things will have moved on and he can take no more.
