Words of advice appreciated

I'm trying to get out of a nasty relationship. Some kind words of strength would be very nice right now. I feel like I'm falling apart. I'm pretty sure he has narcissistic tendencies and I'm just a vulnerable sap who let's him walk all over me.

I've been trying to tell him I'm not happy and I wanna work on it. He's ignoring me. We've been sharing my second car bc my main car won't start. I've been dumping money into it but no luck. I got in my car this morning to come to work after he used it for work last night and the gas light was on. We live 20 miles from town and about 30 from where I work. The whole way to work this morning all I've thought about is telling him he can no longer drive my cars. I'm so done feeling like this. I want him out of the house. I feel like he needs to go instead of me bc I have the children and he's not even on the lease.

Thank you for letting me rant. Hope you guys have a wonderful Friday!

Only advice I can give, that I wish I had, is once you've expressed your needs and he's disregarded it, stop giving second chances, or thinking of him as your partner. Stop trying to fix things. Work out an exit plan and have trusted people help you.

If you need him out of your house, you might need to have a friend or relative move in temporarily, if he's likely to try to break in or terrorise you.

On a brighter note, I can honestly say that the peace of being free is sooo worth the struggle now.

Stay safe, distance yourself from people who don't have your back (no matter how close you thought you were), lean on those you can trust.

Future you will thank you for having the courage to get out of this mess

I told him again to get out. I still have to face it all but I feel a bit better. I'm putting my foot down. No more chances. No more explaining how I feel
