UK only please, I need info on benefits if unemployed

So I'm working atm but I want to quit as I'm getting accused of stealing when I never have and one member of staff never wants to work with me for some reason.
So I don't want to be there anymore but I have a 9 month old and bills/ credit cards to pay.

If I go unemployed would I get any benefits if my husband is on 400000 a year

Do you mean £40,000 or £400,000?

If £400,000 then no, you're not entitled to any government help.

£40,000 you will be able to claim child benefit and may be eligible for other benefits (depending on your savings and current situation).

https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/eligibility the eligibility checker should be able to help you.

I doubt you would get anything on 40k. My partner is on 35k and we were eligible for nothing apart from the measly child benefit. Plus they can be a bit funny if you quit your job. It's actually really sad because you need two incomes just to live now. I will be forced to go back after my maternity leave and my employer was awful when I was pregnant. I feel your pain.

Scared

Well….im pregnant. I have a 4.5, 2.5, and 11 month old. My husband is scheduled for a vasectomy April 7th AND we used plan B after we had one slip up this month—guess that didn’t work.

I’m in shock and don’t know what to do

If you were having a relationship with a married man and fell pregnant, would you keep the child if he didn’t tell you until 13 weeks pregnant that he didn’t want to be part of the child’s life?

Mental health

Do you believe that seeking therapy, taking mental health medication, and expressing emotions through crying therapy is a privilege and luxury, as others lack the time to do so and resort to bottling up their feelings? Feel free to comment below ⬇️

Intimacy?

Hey ladies! Real question.
When do we have time for adult activities? Like I have 0 energy by the time my husband is back from work. And then we dinner, baby night time routine, pump and it’s like 10 I’m just beat!! I have 0 sex drive. Like it was always low, I never really had huge need for it even before pregnancy. But now it’s like none existing. I absolutely love my husband and think he’s a snack. Like I’m okay without sex probably for the rest of my life but I know my husband misses me, and I know he knows exactly when the last time we had it, which was a month ago! And thats so embarrassing to even admit, cause I’m jealous of those people who have it like 3 times a week, like how!!!!!!!!! What am I missing
