Staying in unhappy marriage

My husband doesn't help with childcare, finances, or household chores, and has controlling family members. He also has hygiene issues and cheated on me during pregnancies.

What I wish I knew
"To have more financial independence before getting married"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider your financial situation before committing to a partner"
