Can’t shift these feelings of anger! 😭

Any advice would be appreciated.
I have a beautiful and amazing 5 month old baby, but unfortunately my relationship has completely broke down. My partner begged and begged for 3 years to make him a dad, even though with my eldest children being 18 and 14 I explained I really didn’t want any more children.
I gave in and honestly thought it would be the absolute making of him and us, we would be complete! The pregnancy was horrendous, he used my hormones against me said I had become horrible, said the fact I didn’t want sex was an excuse to cause an argument because I didn’t love him anymore… that’s just a couple of things.
He apparently never had money to buy anything for the baby so I did everything alone throughout the pregnancy in regards to buying what she needed. However he was Infact amazing at the birth which was a planned C-section at 35 weeks due to being very unwell (pregnancy related) midwife’s sung his praises the whole week we was in hospital…
And he continued to be great for two weeks after.
Then everything changed. Still hasn’t bought one thing for her and he works 6 long days a week, wouldnt contribute to bills etc so I asked him to leave 2 months ago.
Now I’m alone, raising my baby, that he begged me for, while he asks to see her for 5 hours every Sunday. And asks daily for photos of her and tells me how beautiful she is.

The anger I’m feeling is taking over all communication with him and I really don’t want to ruin my daughter’s relationship with her dad before it has even started. But 🤯😭 I’m absolutely heartbroken.
No support network and he even turned his family against me so I don’t get their support either.

I’m obsessed with my baby but wish I could just pack up and run away from him!
Sorry, really needed to rant 😞

My fiance said our sex will ruin our relationship

I constantly brag to people about how amazing sex with my man is. It’s the best I’ve ever had, and in the beginning I just wanted to jump his bones constantly. We don’t do it as frequently, and it just feels like he’s never in the mood. I thought maybe this was just the honey moon phase ended, and we were in a solid relationship. We dropped sex to about 3-4 times a week, compared to the 3-4 times a day we used to do it. I thought this still seemed healthy, and then even when it dropped to 2-3 times a week, I still thought we were strong. Yes, I’ll admit sometimes it seems like I want it more than him, and he only seems to want it when I’m very obviously not in the mood. Then he made a comment to our friends about how sex life is the one thing he’d change, because while he loved me, the sex just isn’t very good and he struggles to get off when we are together. I felt really heartbroken over this comment, and he seemed shocked I didn’t feel the same way. I told him I thought we had great sex, and it was one of the best parts of our relationship in my opinion. He disagrees and says it’s not good, and he usually lies about getting off and just takes care of himself in the bathroom after we’re done. I feel crushed and asked for some space, and he says I’m being dramatic and that we were having good conversation, but I told him it didn’t feel good for me. It was heartbreaking and painful to hear, and I need space and time to think.

Now I’m here writing this. I don’t know how to feel. I do know I feel insecure and undesirable and honestly pretty foolish. Definitely not attractive or sexy anymore. Like looking at myself and feeling like everything has been a lie…
