Avoidant passive Husband is the problem

My SD who has moved out and still behaving like an asshole at her moms has completely cut me off after she told the whole world and her counsellor BM that I judged her obese weight when I watched her take an extra Potatoe at dinner a couple of weeks ago. When I tried to stick up for myself and correct her mind reading the asshole who is now 18 ran into her room slammed the door and cried for her BM to come and get her! The SD asshole must have planned her exit because she brought all of the clothes I have bought her over the past couple of years. None of this would matter that much accept My partner BF still hasn't held her accountable to getting her shit out of her room so we can use the room and actually considered driving her back from the ferries after a field trip because BM has to go to my youngest SD friends to hang out with the mother even though it's technically my partners day with his youngest Sd. It's so obvious that BM is trying to manipulate the youngest to come and live with her and leave the BF. My partner is a total doormat! He doesn't stand up to his bratty selfish daughter his bitch ex BM but has no problem raging at me whenever I try to set boundaries. When ever I ask him to stand up for me or set some limits he acts like he is completely limited individual with a head injury. He actually starts to write out what I say on a peice of paper and acts like a helpless victim and then proceeds to do absolutely nothing. SD even told me she thinks her dad is a push over and the brat admitted that neither parent gives her consequences. This doesn't seem to be getting better. I think our marriage might end over this asshole. Even the counsellor said she is trying to come between us The BM supports her asshole daughter because she was recently dumped by her partner prob because of the spiteful mean SD and the BM doesn't want to be alone. At the same time I have a lot going on in my life and actually have little time for any of this BS. During COVID I had no choice because I was trapped in the quarantine with the asshole SD but now that she is gone and still trying to control everything by cutting me off I am starting to be done with the relationship. He has no problem raging at me but wouldn't dare stand up to his nasty manipulative ex and his awful mean daughter!

I'm not sure of the point of your post given you can clearly see yourself that your partner is the problem? I guess the question you should be asking is why do you stay and put up with a man who clearly doesn't respect or value you enough to stand up to his kids and their BM?

To give some context I've gone through hell with the SD for the past 6 years sometimes detaching well including attending CODA and things did get better especially when I detached. The DH did stand up to her a number of times in the past but his default is avoid. I don't think the marriage needs to end now that SD is gone especially since when she is gone we get along just fine. I was hoping to get more detach advice rather than " you crazy," ( LOL) for staying advice! and what is the point of my post? 

Thanks anyways.

It sucks when you can SEE what your partner needs to do but is frozen to stand up to do the right thing. 

TBH, I don't think this is relationship ending though. SD is gone, she isn't coming back to visit anytime soon. Your BF knows where you stand. I believe this is more time to disengage than anything. If he brings SD up, just say "Sorry babe, I just can't take talking about her anymore. I support your relationship with her, just not in this house until she can apologize to me."
