If you have given it time and communicated your needs and this is what he does and how he makes you feel, you may not be able to change it. In my view of people, he has an illness - maybe part of it is physical, part mental/emotional - but he needs treatment. If he won't go to the doctor to get anti-depressants and some counseling, at a minimum, then look to taking care of yourself and your daughter. He should have a full health work-up, too.
If you are going to call it quits, you might see if you can get some counseling just to have a neutral person with whom you can talk out your plans and make sure you are covering all the bases you need to cover so you are physically and emotionally safe. There are a lot of counselors now who work with folks on a short term basis, 6-8 weeks, in order to help them resolve a specific issue and to feel supported through it.
This is a really stressful time for you, so take care of your nutrition. Take a buffered vitamin C to help with the stress - it will help keep you from burning out. If you can, take a b-complex, and don't forget iron and folic acid. Magnesium will help, too. Try Concentrace drops in water or juice each day for magnesium and trace minerals.
What are your plans for this holiday?
