Leaving relationship while pregnant

Has anyone had experience leaving their partner while pregnant or with a newborn? I am sorry to say I’m considering leaving (I’m 23 weeks) but I’m too scared. There is no love or care or compassion in the relationship. Every argument victimises him and ends in an apology to me, where I’m forced to analyse how I will be better. I can’t bring up anything I feel because it always leads to me being “ungrateful”, it’s so infuriating.

My friends and my mum have advised me to leave. I have a great family and friends support network back where my parents live, but it’s 3 hours away. My options are: move to another city with my partner in two months time (like planned) for his new job, have a bigger place to live in, space for the baby (still 3 hours away). Or, move in with my parents. The latter stresses me out to think about because it’s a noisy and busy home and I don’t even have a bedroom there, so it would not be easy to figure it out.

So badly I want to move with my partner and raise our daughter together, but I don’t think he’ll ever change. He doesn’t admit where is wrong. Why does every argument lead to arguing about how I talk over him and he feels not heard, when I just wanted to mention how it’s not fair that I’m his housemaid or how I feel the most stress right now than ever in my life.

Please any advice is welcome, I’m overwhelmed with emotions.
