Sorry to hear that - I felt the same way about I thought things like this would never happen to me. I don’t know anyone in my family and friends circle who divorced.
You will get through it and it sounds like it is best for your little one too.
I’m on the exact same situation as a woman. Hope he comes to see it as clearly as you do as I cannot imagine he can be happy in a marriage like this. I don’t want to fight, hirt each other. He tends to use our child to get under my skin as well, and I’m devastated to think her world will collapse if we separate. But I wouldn’t want her to be in a marriage like this when she grows up, and I don’t want that for myself. Hope you find the peace and happiness 🙏
Thanks a lot. Fast forward, more than a year later, now I know this was the best decision I made for my son and for myself. He's happy and so stable. I am thriving and proud of myself.
His mom is very hostile now but I give her space and try to see him occasionally. My son probably has no idea what's going on until he turns 4 or plus. So I am letting his mom manage and I pay for his expenses. I know I will lose some precious moments with him but that's better than nothing. The idea is to ask: are you doing this for you (selfish) or for your kid? Be honest.
She try to use him to fight and get under my skin, and that's I try to stay away as much as I can. When my son grows up older, he will start asking about his dad, and I will be right there for him.
Tough world, but we can survive.
Considering divorce and sticking it out for the benefit of my little one since I didn’t grow up with my dad. Idk if that’s better for him though
Trust me, I waited and my kids were 16 and 19 when I finally couldn't take it anymore - they felt all the stress and unhappiness in the house. I stayed for the kids and their first question was why did you wait so long - they are more resilient than you think. You just need to try and makes things amicable with your other half to ensure co-parenting works for everyone. Good luck!
