It's really impossible to evaluate a relationship/marriage from one paragraph of text from only 1 of the points of view. I'll say this, there are crazy wives and crazy husbands, but most of the time, there is plenty of blame to pass around.

Children imitate adults. By staying in an angry
marriage you are teaching your 3 kids to have angry marriages. Get divorced, find someone with whom you can create a happy home. And do this now while your kids still have a chance. Otherwise you will be responsible for all the shitty relationships they get into throughout their lives.

1. Decide how you can be the best husband you can be and start being that person.

3. Keep repeating.


god this sounds miserable

It can be done, but it's very uncommon. I got divorced five years ago. We have one child and from the get go we put her first. We put all of our differences aside.... We handled the division of property by ourselves and shared an attorney. I was very generous and in return she stayed away from my retirement. Today we co-parent and get along great.

All this being said several things must occur for it to work... Both parties have to be willing and there can't be any hurt feelings. If your wife feels slighted, she will try and hurt you. If you are thinking about divorce, I'd venture that she is as well. Make it seem like her idea. Next, once you split, there can be no jealousy when either party starts dating again. When feelings get in the way, things go badly.

My ex and I are good friends now. Since we have a daughter, we will always be in each others lives. It just makes sense to get along.

Would you be willing to keep the kids if she is hot enough?

I just had a good father. Never appreciated how great my parents were until I got married.

Meh, the kids are probably pretty miserable if the home environment is as rotten as described.

Pull of the Band Aid and the kids will adjust, more than likely. Plus, two Christmases!

Threads like this make me realized how blessed i am that i didn't marry someone that I:

1) Barely knew
2) Knew was clinically crazy
3) Had already gotten pregnant

If your wife is actually an angry control freak then there is a good chance she knows your TD handle and has read your post. So I would say that divorce is imminent, but it won't be successful, in your eyes or anyone else's at that.

Angry isn't the only issue. Where once we always agreed on things like finances, raising kids, even what we thought was fun. Now, we always seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. I'm not standing here saying that I have no faults or am not contributing to the problems , just wondering when do you know it's time. The one thing we both consistently do is put our kids before ourselves, which is why I haven't done something already

That's assuming you consider the well-being of the kids in mind when you define "success".


Frick you

Talk to her and tell her that you are seriously considering fricking your family up due to her being a bitch.

If she's a real bitch I'm sure that you avoid anything that might set her off, but this is something that you have to be vocal with.

Just FYI you were dumb to divorce Elin Nordegren. And you've already lost 100 million. You want to lose more you idiot?

My divorce was perhaps the best thing my kids could have had happen.

Now both of their parents are in happy relationships and conflict no longer rules the roost.

The first year is tumultuous for the parents but you can shelter your kids from it by building proper boundaries on what is shared with them.

I haven't been to marriage counseling school, but it sounds to me that she is involved in a lesbian relationship. Ask her and see what she says?
