I agree

I can't leave, but I don't know what to do.  

  

You CAN leave or make him leave. 

  

Go and see a lawyer and find out what your rights are if you decide not to continue tolerate his infidelity. Then, open your own account in your own bank and ensure there is enough in it for a couple of months. Finally, copy all of the documents you need-tax returns, investment accounts, pension statements etc. 

  

When you are completely ready to leave safely and comfortably, do it.  It doesn't mean that the marriage can't be saved, but it does teach him that you won't tolerate this conduct.  If he isn't prepared to do the hard work it takes to make your marriage work, you will be ready to dissolve the marriage. 

I know its difficult, but you do have choices.  It doesn't sound like your marriage is going to improve on its own.  I suggest counseling to help you find out why you accept this treatment and so you can find or create a relationship where you are treated with respect.  Talk to your family if they are receptive, maybe you can live closer to them.  Better to get out sooner before the children are damaged.  Make a phone call tomorrow.  Good luck!
