Talking is fine. When you write down things you see them clearer yourself.
First question: do you see it best if you stay with your husband or not? I am all for respecting the committment, but I worry you are not in a position where you have the luxury of wondering about love or not love.
Second question: what would happen if you separated from your husband? How much money would you have? Do you have any family that you could stay with?
You are a young and strong woman, and your daughter depends on you. You depend on your husband to help you out, but he does nothing. I fear your life with him will stay this way, as he has no goals and doesn't seek a job. Will you not be better off alone, without having to pay his bills as well? Where you can get a job, hopefully someone can baby-sit your daughter while you are at work?
Try and plan things out, as I don't know the system of the county you live in, so I can not help you with the techincal things. But you should look them up, look at what your options are and make the best decision for you and your daughter.
