Advice Needed: Should I Leave My Abusive, Unstable Marriage?

Hello, good day. I’m a 31-year-old woman in my final year of nursing school. I’ve been married for five years and we have a four-year-old child. My husband has been physically violent—even while I was pregnant—and he’s cheated. He rarely contributes financially and relies on me to cover nearly all the bills. I’ve forgiven him before after promises of change, but nothing really improves. I’m overwhelmed with exams, childcare, and family pressure to stay married. Parts of his family also see the problems. I feel trapped and I’m worried about my sanity and future. I want to know if leaving is the right decision. Should I wait until after my exams or walk away now? Any advice, especially from those with experience, would help.
