That's the part of this thread that caught my eye. I even pulled out my little binder from when I went through the adult confirmation process.
The section about the Sacrament of Marriage states that married love is "self giving." To "put the needs of others before your own." No wonder you, the OP, are so upset about your H's selfish ways. Maybe seek a priest or couseling through your Church to get back to the basics of your marriage?
I also noticed the part about your mom having paid for the wedding and wanting to honor that?
If Staying is a choice, then this built up resentment and added stress is no way to lead your own life. You deserve to unbind from the shackles of financial worries and worries about what choices your husband makes. You can only control you and your reactions.
