Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
Almost 7 years is more than enough time for him to open up about his past and his family. Since he has not done so yet, I doubt he ever will.
I advise you not to go off what other people tell you is important in a relationship. If you really want to be with someone who is open about his past and family relationships, you should definitely leave him. If it is not that important to you, try to work it out.
The first step to leaving a relationship is to plan it out without necessarily telling anyone except people who can help you professionally. If you need financial advise, see a lawyer. If you need emotional support see a therapist who will not judge you and has no person attachment to the situation.
Do not tell him anything until your path separate from him is clear and planned. Then explain to him why you must go and leave quickly.
Be aware that you may feel emotionally confused as you start to separate your heart from him. You will have the promise of being happy with someone else, but at the same time you will feel a certain heartbreak for him even though he did not give you want you wanted. This is normal. Be patient with yourself and keep good counselors around you so that you can keep a clear head as you move forward.
