You sound very young SarahFair and I don't think any couple should stay together for the purely for the sake of a child, especially if your partner hits you. It's a no win situation to me. How do you know that his best mate is not trying to tempt you to see if you'll fold. Any bet he wouldn't stay around long after he got his goal. Do you think he really wants to jump in and start playing happy families with his best mate's gf and baby. Unlikely I'd say. It doesn't matter how good you are under the sheets. This is far too close to home, especially if you do EVERYTHING together. You have and will have too much to lose.
Perhaps broaden your friendship base too and meet other people in similar positions in life - my thoughts for what they're worth. Good Luck and heed some of the advice above.
