You are worried about money and home is a comforting thought, I understand. Certainly poverty is no fun. I do think that you have been happy and seem to have a strong marriage.
My advice, which is worth absolutely nothing, lol, is that you hang in there with your husband. Otherwise in the long run, you will have things yes, but things are not what count really. Love is what matters and you have that. For better or for worse, you gave your word. Is there someone you can talk to? Your mother-in-law perhaps? I doubt his family will let the children starve. Have some faith.

Greetings- You are neither a quitter or whiner. You can do anything You want, this is based on Your ability to "roll w/the punches" and Your past performance.
|'d go back to the U.K. (alone) and re-establish both income and lodging. This will require Hubby sticking His over inflated ego in His back pocket and watch the homestead in the ME. This will hopefully "awaken" what is dormant in Hubby and perhaps this ordeal will indeed allow Him to "pull His finger out" (it reads as if it is His head that is 'keester planted')
From My personal experience in the ME, the Female gets screwed (pun intended) You've "gutted enough"
A nurse is a nurse anywhere, is the U.K. warm enough? Uruguay is currently exchanging at 20-1 and the Olympics are coming next door in Brazil in 2016... Look further down the line.

I feel for you! I too am a nurse and understand the security it can bring. You have done everything you can it sounds like. Do not feel guilty for wanting to provide for your children.
My advice, which is really only my opinion, is to leave and go home.
You are a mother FIRST, WIFE SECOND. Take care of your babies any way you can. Get out of the Mid East! BUT, do what your instincts tell you, not a stranger like me.
Love and Blessings to you! I hope you find your path!

If you're willing to stay with that man. Fine. The two of you can live on the street, and be happy together...
But if you care anything about those children. You'll give them a fighting chance in this world. Send them back to the UK to be raised by someone who has the means to support them, has their priorities in order, and has their head on straight.
