When you say he stopped you, how did he do this?talk you out of it? Force you to stay?
Do you have friends/family to go to? Or to offer support?
Do you have your own money?
Sorry for all the questions I think knowing a little more. Might help people to help you.

Hi Penny
I’m Lauren one of the parent supporters here on Netmums. You’ve told us that your relationship has been difficult for some time and that you had planned to leave but he stopped you.
Can you tell us some more about what has been happening? Has he been abusive towards you?
Do you have any children?
Have you a plan where you might go?
Sorry for all the questions, I’m trying to understand the situation so I can point you in the direction of advice and support
Is there a day when he is out all day? Is there anyone who would store your bags for you if you could take one at a time out of the house?
or is there someone who could be with you when you leave? If there’s someone there he may think twice about trying to stop you.
I waited until my husband went away for the weekend but not everyone has that opportunity!
it’s the most difficult thing to do but now you’ve made your decision - that’s the hardest part done.
take care of yourself xx
