Please no judgement
Im miserable. Im unhappy in my marriage. Its just not working. I feel like im married to a child. Ive tried everything i can think of but he wont budge.
Im at university, just started my own business as ive been unable to find work no matter what i do and we have just moved house and are stuck in our lease until June 2017. We also have a 2 year old.
I want to leave. I want to go where noone knows me and just start over.
I dont have the funds to go down my street let alone move again. We dont have any money spare after we pay rent, pay bills, buy food etc. So saving money is impossible.
Then there is our child. What happens there? Where am i allowed to move to? Is there a certain distance im allowed to go?
I feel so guilty because our child will be from a broken home and i never wanted that. But it would be worse with a miserable parent 24/7. I want to be happy and pass that onto our child not being miserable.
No DV, nothing like that. Husband is just immature and im done with him.
Im in WA. What can i do? Can you legally seperate and live in the same house as your ex? How would that even work?

Ywah thats a terrible idea, get over your pre conceived ideas about a 'broken home' and do what you know is right. Be a happy, whole mum in a far from broken home. And let dad do the same. Its not happening under one roof right? Miserable is such a waste of a place to stay in.
Can husband sort himself out and yout ake over the house? Or you find a cheaper place then leave him to get a roommate or break lease. Changes, thats all. If you wait because of them, youll never find the right time.
Don't live in the same house (long term), you will have exactly the same problems. There are set distances you can move, so important to ring a free legal service, or community lawyer to tell you that. Leases can be broken, they get broken all the time.
Talk to Centrelink about what/if you are entitled to anything if you go your own way. Make a budget and go from there.
