You have a two year old. Life isn’t going to be easy with a two year old. Everyone is tired and cranky all of the time. I have a two year old I know the feeling.


That being said there is no way I’m waiting 16 years in a loveless miserable marriage.

She would be getting a lot more than that $5M….plus they can still throw on alimony even after kids are 18

You gonna stay married for 16 years, being miserable, while she racks up years of “out of work” bold strategy cotton

This seems like something that can be corrected. At least try therapy and all that

You're better off Googling "how to dispose of a [insert wife's weight] body"

Bro. Kids are tough. How about listening to her needs and helping her out. A housekeeper can help significantly

After kids she depressed? Have you ever thought maybe she is dealing with post partum issues? Have you even talked to her about any of this?

If you are going to kick her out and give her $5,000,000 tell her to come to Jafari’s house.

Young kids are hard as hell. Plus, even if she wants to be a stay-at-home mom, it can be very isolating. I know multiple women who felt reborn after going back to work. If she was happy before, she can be again. Don’t just bail without putting some serious work into it.

It’s your responsibility to get her back to the cheerful happy person she was. She’s at home all day with a 2 year old and you probably kept living life as nothing changed. More importantly, that’s her perception right or wrong. That sarcasm is backed by anger. I’d try to communicate with her before going to your drastic measure of divorce or trying to go 16 years of that.

Boy, you sound like you really want to make it work....

She's a stay at home mom. It can be rewarding but also isolating. Is her mom around? Does she have friends? How many kids and how old?

Kids do change things but I guarantee with your nonchalant attitude about divorce and the whole "will wreck me financially" she's picking up on that.

If you wanna dump her then why wait and waste some of the best years of her life as well?

You get married in church? Through thick and thin?

Here's a tip. Marriage can be hard. It's not all roses.

You have the money...hire someone to do housecleaning once a week and find her a mother's day out program or an 8 to 11 preschool so she can reclaim some time to be an individual. It might improve her anxiety and depression.
