If you want out

of your marraige, get out. Don't look for a new guy to rescue you from it, you could be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. And even if the other guy is a nice guy, he could be very overwhelmed by the fact that you are married and by the baggage you are carrying at the moment.
There are ways of getting out if you really want to- call the local domestic abuse hotline and they can help you. But my advice is to get out and stand on your own two feet for a while and get to know yourself and what you want before you entertain jumping into anything with another man.
When we are with men who are abusive or treat us like crap then yeah, there is clearly something wrong with the man but you have to take a hard look at yourself and what it is about you that is causing you to stay with this guy and allow yourself to be treated that way. If you don't you could end up right back in another relationship that is just as bad. Also, think about what your kids are learning from what they see.
Just my 2 cents.
