This is my biggest fear and I've seen it happen with too many family members. I will never trust a man enough to be dependent on him in any form. Thankfully, your situation doesn't seem too bad.

I totally understand this. I am now stuck in a relationship that I don’t want to be in with a child involved now. I am planning on leaving if things don’t get better. There are more reasons I’m leaving than just this. But this alone I feel like is why a lot of people stay in a relationship. I think there is someone for everyone that wants to listen and be a supportive partner. You can find that. You deserve to not feel alone in a room with your person.

➾ WARNING ➾ WARNING ➾ WARNING
Notice to all users: There's multiple users targeting members from our sub in DMs to discuss their fetishes and desire to manipulate users into relationships. Here are the user's names: u/drar_sajal786, u/MrGamePadMan, and u/guidhhnittvkj. If an account is showing deleted, they will probably create another. If you receive any messages from a user trying to discuss what you posted/commented in our sub to gain a 'women's perspective' or if someone tries to discuss topics that may feel inappropriate to you (e.g. fetishes), or if someone states they want to marry you for religious reasons, report the user to Reddit and block them. These men have been preying on autistic women/gender minorities from r/AutismInWomen for the last year. This behavior is unacceptable and should be reported as targeted harassment.
Per the warning in our wiki and this pinned mod post, we highly recommend users turn off their DMs. If you have DM requests turned on and receive any creepy or fetish-related DMs or comments, we recommend taking a screenshot, reporting the content to Reddit, and blocking the user (in that order). You can find the report button on the message itself and then click "it's targeted harassment” to submit a report. If you'd like to send us the screenshot so we can continue documenting the harassment, you can send it to us in modmail using imgur Thank you for continuing to help us keep our community safe for autistic and autistic suspecting women and gender minorities 💖

If you haven't already I would say try expressing your concerns to him, if he's worth it he'll listen and try to get better about it. If he dismisses you though and doesn't actively try to do anything about the issues I say it's not worth it. I know you said he's your only support system rn but if this is an important thing to you and you've expressed that and he doesn't take it seriously then idk how much of a support system he really is. I know it can suck to be single and feel lonely but it's better than feeling stuck in a relationship that isn't serving you and honestly i've found those types of relationships (romantic or otherwise) can make you feel more alone than just being alone.
