This is going to be a long silly question.

I have been working for my husband for 2 years without pay. I also look after the kids and do the housework, I had a small part time job I saved the money from. Basically I was really busy.

Last year, I planned to start my own business, I took a few courses and bought loads of equipment with my saved money - my husband paid for the kids to go to nursery for 2 days a week so I could get my biz up and running. 2 months before my first ad is about to come out he says he's stopping the kids from going to nursery. He says I have to look after them. So all of this effort I have made has been for nothing. He says he can't afford it, but in a couple of months I could be earning! He won't listen, he's been calling me pathetic and useless and I feel completely used.

Now I've got this idea that I should start prostitution. I'd get paid for it. Being faithful to my husband doesn't seem to bother me anymore - I don't know what's happening to me, I feel like a prisoner in my own home. I just don't know what to do now.

You are suffering from some type of low self esteem and your husband is feeding off of it. Find another way to start the business. It is his insecurities that he is reacting on. Opening up and talking would be a good idea at this point.
