I think I fell for the wrong guy>…

Married for love, did not know His true colors.
Married for nine years have two kids. Dont know what to do. I am from a country far away, have no other family here. Husband works a low paying job, has a Masters degree.He wants a job that will pay him 50,000 even with out experience. He is very intelligent, very stubborn and extremly cautious and lazy. Only picks what benefits him, believes that mom has to take care of him forever.
Now that I have been working for the past two years to take care of the bills. He wants luxary but does not want to try for it, his Mom and myself have to pick up the pieces. Now I am getting ready to do my nursing, with the kids growing and expenses going up all he can say is that I need to work more and earn more to support them. He has been in the same field for the past ten yearsa with no prospectives nor raises, he does not want a raise either. (But I have to fight for mine in his opinion). I have a drivers licence but he does not want me to drive, fears that people on the street are not safe.
He works at night, stays home during the day watches TV, sleeps. Has only once bought me a birthday or anniversary gift, Loves to spend his mom`s money or what ever she has. Did not even care to check on her when she lost her job, all he did through out our marraige is complain about her.Does not suggest nor gets to do fun activities with , it was always what he wants to do, go to a resturant and watch movies he wants,I will have to pick up the bill.Does not like to interact much with people. Spends his allowance on magazines and supplements for himself.
All I asked before we married is that he get me to see my family atleast once. He says it is my fault. Does not care.I have no body here. I am growing tired of him. I am tired of all men. I am so tired, I am worried about my kids that is all that is keeping me with him. I pray for patience, I burry myself in my work and my kids. What else can I do????

Make a list of reasons why he is a good husband and why he is a bad husband. When you are done look at what you have written down and make a decision. If there is more bad then good then you know what to do.

Well what you need to do in choose!
Choose if you want it to work, and do the work to make it happen
or
choose to go your seperate ways and start over.
either choice is difficult
