A lawyer, the Women's Center (or similar group), etc., can help you figure the proper timing -- but you do have the luxury (as far as I've noticed) that he is not (yet) becoming violent -- just a big baby and a husband that is not really a helpmeet.
The important thing though is that you don't waver in your end goal or give him endless numbers of chances. The danger of course is that your husband will find out what you're doing so secrecy is essential -- three people can keep a secret only if two of them are dead. If you're someone who can't decide which tit to put in your bra first without consulting a friend, this isn't for you.

this is abuse of this child.
