I'm so sorry. But I would like to commend you for your braveness in going out on your own with a little one. I think many women stay for the kids and lose themselves in the process.
I'm so sorry. I know you guys have been struggling for a while. It will be hard, but so so worth it in the long run. And you'll be setting a great example for your daughter, that you deserve more than mediocre.
I'm sorry. Great Dads are not always great Husbands.
Sadly this is very true. I am sorry You've come to this point rumpshaker , but you need to do what is best for you and your dd. best of luck to you. Xo
So.....I am ending my marriage. After DD's illness/hospital visit this weekend, I decided I've had enough. The last time we were in therapy, I said that I was done. H was really upset, made promises to fix things, etc. I then said I would keep trying.
My biggest issue is his craft beer obsession. The amount of time/money spent on this hobby is ridiculous. Additionally, when he does drink, he gets obnoxious and likes to argue. This happens with me and with his friends. I think there are a lot of self-esteem issues that H needs to work on. He is always ready for an argument and often has nothing but negative things to say. He goes into political rants on FB that often embarrass me. I've urged him to get into therapy, and it's been like pulling teeth.
I don't remember what it was like to be around him and find it enjoyable. The only positive thing I see is his loving relationship with DD. She adores him, and he is a great dad. I just need to get off this merry-go-round. We have one good week, and then two terrible ones follow. It's stressful and it's making me be someone who I'm not. I'm scared to death to try to do this on my own. I'm sad that I won't have my family together. I know I will miss H because I still do love him.
I guess this this was emotional dump.
He sounds EXACTLY like my ex-dh. With the craft beer and the rants.
I'm so sorry, but it's for the best in the long run. (((hugs)))

Growing up, my parents fought alllll the time. I can't remember them ever being affectionate with each other. They finally divorced when I was 16, but it should have happened long before then.
All that to say, good job. It'll be hard, but you're doing what's best for your daughter. It's not fair for kids to grow up in a miserable home, and you're taking the steps to prevent that. (hugs)
