My Husband wants me to Quit Everything

My husband has never had a job. He just won't work. He always has some reason. He doesn't like to talk about it. Now that I have a 1 year old son he is the " primary caregiver" even though he is still super lazy and usually spends 90% of his time watching anime and eating while supposedly watching the baby.

I'm always tired and his response is let's just you quit your job. Sell the house and move to my 3rd world country.
His country is OK but I don't have family there and I will never move to somewhere unless he has some plan and something going on.
So today I was so tired from work ( even though I work from home I strongly dislike my job) and I just told him that I'm tired and he offered the same suggestion, let's move to my country and you sell this house and our car and you can go back and forth and manage your rental property.

I told if that if he gets a job and rents us a place in his country that I will go.
I know that he won't do shit but I was serious.

He said , " WHAT!!, you expect me to get some stupid job for $600 USD per month" and he was like " I'm not discussing this anymore that is so dumb".
So he wont work for low wages but he will let me be the only worker because my wage is higher???

@DearAmbellina2113 I'm happy about finally getting pregnant. I was over 40. Took years. What was I going to do, get divorced at 37,38 or 39 and then start looking for someone? Yeah right better to have my baby that I always wanted. The dating pool has pee in it as they say and it's worse near 40.
Time wasn't on my side. I don't regret it. I have my son.

@REMsleep Sounds like you settled for him out of desperation because of your age and wanting a child. We all have to be accountable for the part we play in our own pain. As you mentioned for religious purposes you will not leave, I'm sure you also have the mindset that you don't want to ruin your child's life by breaking up the family. This is an unfortunate situation that you find yourself in as in the long run this will drain you more and more. You may even develop depression and anxiety if you haven't already. At some point stress like this catches up with a person, it could impact your mental health as well as your physical health. I hope you have a strong support system like friends or family that you can lean on. I wish you all the best.

@UndeadSona I guess I framed it badly. I been with him for like 16 years so no I didn't get with him in order to have a baby but by the time I was truly tired of everything I was overdue and on my last egg lol
I care about him. He is a bad husband but I care about him.
