Enough is enough...

First and foremost you should be caring for your innocent child. Second - who cares if this guy is a Muslim or a Martian, he is an unyielding jerk. Sounds like what he really wants is a dog and not a partner. Why is it that you are asking for advice to do that which should already have been done. Get out quickly. You are positively reinforcing this man's ill behavior by staying and communicating to him that this way of life is acceptable to you by your actions (living with him). It sounds so cllche, but it is so true - why should he respect you if you FIRST do not even respect yourself?

Please read Dr. Laura Schlesinger's book The 10 Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives. You need a reality check and not supportive and kind remarks decorated in niceties and politeness. YOU ARE A MOTHER. PROTECT YOUR SON. CHILDREN SHOULD AT THE VERY LEAST BE GUARANTEED THAT THEY CAN TRUST THEIR PARENTS TO PROVIDE A LOVING HOME FOR THEM.
