You’re in a civil partnership with your ‘husband’,
You’re unhappy at how he makes all the rules, spends a lot of your money without showing where it’s been spent, and influences your penal system in ways you don’t like. So you tell him you want to leave, and he fears losing your money and easy access to all your points of entry. He intentionally confuses, bullies, and frightens you, convincing you you’ll ‘never find a husband like him again’ and that you’ll be worse off. But his real agenda is to keep shafting you, so you cut him a deal that’s not technically marriage, but gives him continued access through the back door.
