SD has to come first ALL the time!

Okay, this week has got worse and worse. We have been sleeping separately for nearly 2 weeks now due to all the arguments - mostly over his attitude that SD can call me a f******* b***** etc and generally he makes excuses for her. He may not even be present when this happens, but he tells me she was saying something else! How would he know the truth - even when it smacks him in the face he still makes excuses for her - after all, she's just a kid (16)!
I had to take my BD(14) to a friend's house 2 nights ago because he started involving my daughter.
I am so at the end of what I can take.
It is his birthday in a few days and I bought him a Formula 1 Grand Prix Driving Experience at Silverstone some while ago- it is booked for tomorrow. I have asked him if we can drive tonight and stay in a hotel near Silverstone, in a last ditch bid to salvage something.
His answer? Well, SD wants to come - she's really looking forward to it! So let's just ditch our marriage and everything, just so long as SHE is happy and getting HER way (on my hard earned money?!) He has been saying he won't go anyway for the last week, but seems that his daughter has changed his mind. She obviously has more pull on him than I ever will. I had actually said that he should let me know by today if he still wasn't going to go then I'd give it to my son who would love it.
What should I do? Let him go with his daughter? Or should I insist that she be told to back off and give us a chance to salvage some time together before I walk out for good.
Sorry this is so long, but I really need some advice here, I'm not thinking straight. On top of everything, I was going to move out & rent until the house is sold, but after a hospital visit yesterday I have a pre op assessment on Monday & been told I need an op within next 2 weeks (cancer scare). So I really would appreciate some clear thinking here - I know I do love this man, but can't see a way forward at all.

Thanks Anne - my son actually couldn't make Silverstone yesterday, but I gave the driving experience to my children's Godfather. We had a great day out and he really appreciated the gesture. As for my partner, well, he has taken a long lonely day to reconsider and he asked to take me out when I returned (something he never does!) Also, he had had a very long chat with SD and she was waiting for me and apologised for her awful behaviour! What a turn around! I don't expect life will not be plain sailing, but I am so thankful to you and everyone out on this site, because I was really rock bottom. Now I can at least concentrate on getting over this op I have in the next week or 2, and hopefully it will be good news there, too.

Anne is right. If he continues to support the people that show such disprespect the love will leave you and it will be easier to move on.

Hi vickiemac, you are right. I took the driving experience and, although my son was unable to come, I gave it to my children's Godfather. I went with him yesterday and we had a great time at Silverstone. I was really glad that at least someone special to me benefitted from such a great experience - he said it was exhilarating!
And DH? He has turned things around - I came home to find lots of long awaited jobs had been done! On top of that he took me out for the night! And even left SD home! Your advice has quite possibly saved my relationship. He even had talked to SD about all the things that have been going on and she was waiting to see me and apologised for everything! So now there's hope - not out of the woods, but I feel there is everything to hope for. Thank God for all you decent women out there - and what a life saver this site is!
