Abuse
My husband has mentally been abusing me and making me feel like I’m going crazy every time I try to leave him he says he’s going to kill himself so then I try talking to him and he convinces me to stay this time the cops even got involved because he was screaming at me and he wouldn’t let me leave mind you I am six months pregnant and I have been trying to leave this relationship for way more than six months but somehow he always convinces me to stay I don’t know what to do anymore I need advice on how to stay away from him because if I block him he’ll just text my family members or he’ll text his friends and they text me saying that he’s going to kill himself and if I don’t talk to him im the bad guy because I’m keeping his baby away and I’m his wife and I should be there for him… plz help

Forget what your family says! This is not OK, it's not acceptable, it's not your responsibility! You're pregnant and you're priorities are that baby and yourself. You need to seek professional help and or seek a church.
Make a report to police so it's on record. File a restraining order if you need space. Don't keep letting it slide. You already know what you need to do but you're scared. Don't be scared think of your child you're a mother now. Seek real help!
The cops have gotten involved and I had a protective order but he says he’s going to hurt himself if I’m not in his life because there’s nothing else to live for
