OP, I’m not a person that throws Bible quotes around as advice. That’s just not me. However, my dad is and he told me this and it made a lot of sense. Proverbs 21:9 It is better to live in a corner of a roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman. Proverbs 21:19 King James Version It is better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and an angry woman.
Bible verses used to justify divorce (absent immoral behavior), now I’ve seen it all

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.

Did and don’t, Lithettes (no pics) knew it was bad and later asked why we stayed together and told them it was for them and they agreed it was stupid

I literally quoted this verse today, talking to my aunt about my parents' marriage. They are still married after 40+ years. My dad is milquetoast and my mom is imperious in her petty, querulous demands. My dad compensates by collecting treasures (to him.) I divorced twice, one sister married beneath her and is subservient to her husband to the point of apathy, and my other sister married a woman. My dad considered leaving my mom several times (as told to me by family members) and I wish he would have! Now he is showing early signs of dementia and he has to live with a total nag who barks at him and belittles him every time he loses his keys.
My aunt said she was staying with her womanizing deadbeat husband until her last kid graduated high school, and her kids knew how bad he was and felt guilty that she stayed because of them. If it's a short amount of time, it might be worth it to wait, but from what I've seen, if you know it's doomed you should act on that feeling sooner than later. Being single and alone feels a lot less lonely than being married and alone.

At the time Jesus spoke about marriage, the pharisees were using ridiculous reasons to divorce their wives under the law. At that time, a divorced woman was stripped of rights after her husband abandoned her. He told men not to put away their wives for frivolous reasons, and he was literally defending women from the practice of frivolous divorce. According to the Bible, God hates divorce and yet He is himself divorced. He divorced Israel.

Jesus teaches people how to have a successful marriage. The first step is to not marry someone who isn't cool with him. But even DNA can overcome a heathen broad. Men either rule their roost or let someone else do it. A strong and confident head of household is a great way to secure a happy family.
OP needs to run the fricking show as best he can for the next 16 years. Show your kids what a man and good husband looks like. Or don't. Plenty of statistics out there.

Are you asking because that's what you think I said?

You said…
I asked…
Did he?
It’s just a yes or no question, so don’t overthink it.

No he never married. He had some decent ideas that could very easily be applied to a marriage relationship if you want to move past your cuntiness. Or whatever you're feeling.

That's literally all you had in the mag? You wanted me to say the thing so you could laugh? I expected so much more.

Thinking this a 50 percent chance of happening to me in 4 years as of this time. Marriage is demanding

If kid goes to college you’re ponying up until graduation.

And divorce doesn’t end till you die. You see your kids and grandkids half the time. And if your kid marries the child of a divorced couple make it 25%.
If you are still having sex you got a shot. If not go to counseling then a fun trip w no kids. Remember the excitement of your days dating. Everyone goes thru this shite. Let her let her hair down. You would be shocked at what happens when you love on em. Let her go be non momma and see how that goes. Put the effort in and I guarantee she responds. Then have a heart to heart.

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.
