I have done the best i can guys, i cant do this anymore, you are the only ones i can tell, but i am exhausted. Is it really worth the pain, emotional wear and tear. I am sure i will never be strong enough to kick him out, and he will never leave he has it to good. I feel like a complete failure. I am just going to quit. Maybe if i do he will leave me. I am so tired.

I dont know your story but I know what you mean. The weary feeling is so hard to combat. I wish you well in your struggles. Maybe if I knew a bit more I could comment more constructively.
Any way my best to you

Have you read "Love Must Be Tough"? ... by James Dobson.
I think you should read this if you have not already.
Where is your grown up strength and self respect? Did you give your self respect away? Does someone else hold the key to your self respect?
You CAN choose to be a woman of strength and courage ... it is up to you .... and no one else.

PS .... this may sound harsh ... but frankly, you need a soft kick in the behind right now...
PLEASE ANSWER these 2 questions
What part of victim-hood attracts you?
and ........
What part of becoming a strong and brave woman frightens you?

"This too shall pass"...... repeat this to yourself as often as necessary.
It's OK to feel weak at times .... you'll be fine .... have faith.
