not necessarily. And I’d rather live in a tent than with a woman you don’t want to be with.

But I would go to counseling to make sure you aren’t the a-hole

As long as you and your spouse aren’t screaming at each other in front of kids, this is a good idea. However, if you’re fighting non stop do it for your children. They’ll thank you when they’re old enough to realize it

If you haven’t tried therapy, do so. The years with young kids are the hardest. Plus, if you divorce, you will never be truly rid of her for another 16 years, especially if you want to be an involved father. And the more involved you are with your kids over the next 18 years, the more involved you will be with her. A vindictive ex-wife/babymamma can be horrifying. Try to work it out first. You have 16 years of dealing with her and paying her regardless.

Then, don't get a divorce. The only time I recommend divorce is when you can't stand being in her presence. You aren't going to find some woman that makes you super happy. (I'm mostly saying this for my own benefit.)

The key is to find your own hobbies. Do things with your kids. Your wife will appreciate the peace time too. She may even give you a blow job or something for it. You never know!

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

Wait and go to counseling. Don't be selfish unless you have Biblical grounds

That's what a buddy of mine did, saved him a lot of problems, considering his wife was bat shite crazy.

My 1st husband (father of my children) was a narcissist and my children are pissed now that they are grown that I did not leave sooner. Oldest was in middle school when we divorced.

Eta: also my 2nd marriage was a great thing for me and also for them. They are way closer to step dad than dad. Positive role model and example of marriage.

If you can put up with it for that long then yeah.

Otherwise, just rip the band-aid off.

Terrible call. Terrible. I tried but divorced early and my kids started to thrive.

They know it's tense at home when yall dont get along.

Get the hell out, but stay involved.

Get a good lawyer

I probably wouldn’t post about it on td. How many years before your kids turn 18?

This is becoming common excuse/saying these days. One of my friends I grew up with uses it and it’s very cringe. You’re the one who wanted to be with him. Just say it didn’t work.

As a kid whose parents fought a lot growing up, the kids are anxious all of the time wondering when the next fight is going to be and walk on eggshells. My parents worked through it but a good chunk of my childhood I was always nervous at the end of the day because I didn’t know if my parents would get into a fight or not.

It’s a huge reason why my wife and I never argue in front of our daughter. It’s a miserable existence when you know your parents aren’t happy together and can explode at any time. You’re only making their lives worse under the guise of “keeping the family together” and it’s incredibly shitty
