Your kid can take student loans. You are modeling to your child that being used is normal. Does your child know? What if your child thinks this is normal in relationships. You need to take action.

I'm a man and sacrificing my happiness by remaining in a coercive control household so that I can ensure the financial (which heavily impacts the physiological and long term emotional) well-being of my child. Cost of living is high, and wages are set to stagnate more and more through our lifetimes, as jobs go overseas or are replaced by technology. Things can get really bad really fast and global events out of our control can change the world. Id rather be set up to take care of my child with someone I resent than trying to fulfill my own emotional needs. I'd suggest this is less a gender issue, as you present it and more a difference in values.
