Late 30s with a toddler. Getting out was great and my kid is adjusting well.

You're already traveling a lot, so it won't be as big of a change for her as for other parents who are suddenly "gone".

Hmmm something might be going on w her. I know this from personal experience. Why not just directly talk to her and what you're thinking. Letting it grow until you have to leave is prob not the best solution. Could you talk to her and let her know what's she's doing to the relationship? This is important and worth a try and in only saying this as I would try anything and everything to fix this for your marriage and family.

No kids but you can't stay in a toxic situation

Thanks D1

My daughter is 2, she's very smart and very aware, I wonder if it's better now than when she's 5-10.

I was 10 when I heard mom and dad fighting. I heard the word "divorce", not sure from whom. My heart broke. I was scared of my future. Luckily I heard mom saying something like "let's stay together as friends for our kids". I somehow grew up pessimistic about love and romance, but still pretty hopeful about being with someone.

Younger is better

Louis CK had some great bits on divorce, highly suggested for anyone on going through this

Op has it really gotten that bad between you to in such a short time? Or is it some other reason? Not prying just wondering if there's a chance to keep it together

Hi A1, it's not like daily agony, it's actually great usually, HOWEVER there can be massive explosions that result in seeing a side of her where she is a completely different person. The more it happens, the less I want to be around it, and the more differently I feel about her. In all reality I would probably be on my own by now if we didn't have a child, but it breaks my heart thinking about my little girl having to grow up without her mom and her dad. I grew up with my Mom and my Dad, and they are still together.
