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.

For a week, only have social interaction with a 2 year old and see how cheery you are

The stay at mom shite isn't hard, but it can be a drain. Then you expect her to clean, cook, and suck you off.

Get a sitter, take her out once a week, if you have the money get a maid to clean every other week. Wake up on Saturday, hey babe, I got the kids why don't you go shopping. Grab a steak for dinner while you're out.

Give it some effort baw

Took my wife about 5 years after our last to recover from PPD. It's a tough time.

Yep. Though I’d say it is hard if you’re doing it right. If you’re sitting them in front of a TV all day it ain’t hard, but that’s terrible for them. If you’re doing active play it’s hard

frick yea it's hard.

We homeschool and went through some long years.

The wife leaves it all on the table. Goes all in. Brings the kids to daily mass. Plays basketball with them to teach em during basketball season while I'm at work. Plays baseball with them during the day at the local fields while I'm at work.

Does orchestra with the other. Schools them all and is a certified teacher.

In the afternoons and evening I play with em but she makes co-op and sets them up with friends to socialize.

This year after 6 years is the first year it's been a lot better between the wife an I. Mainly because of their age and independence is growing with the kids and we finally found a peer group for my daughter. Stress is down a lot and that matters.

Imagine if we'd have given up...

OP needs to talk to his wife and listen instead of typing on a message board.

Been married 28 years and can honestly say after the first 5 I can't believe we made it this long. It was work and it still is at times. Most of the time when I look back at the rough times, it was my own damn fault. People see divorce as the easy way out. This country is full of quitters. Buck up and be a man and figure out why your wife is so different than what she was when you married her. Chances are it is you that changed, not her. Kids, especially at two years old are a drain on a couple's relationship. Women don't feel sexy and men feel neglected. Trust me, the older your kids get, the easier it gets. We are on year 29 and I swear it gets better every day.

If you're that worried about finances, why did you ever get married?

Take your losses and move on. Its half hers. You signed up for it

Damn you deleted every post in the thread about divorcing your wife?

If you're considering it this much know that she is too! If you're making as much money as you claim just divorce her and be done with it, you'll still have plenty. You'll eventually feel better and your kids will be better off.

Bible verses used to justify divorce (absent immoral behavior), now I’ve seen it all


Fair enough. But I agree with what the good book says. I’d rather sleep in a ditch than live with my ex wife. I’m not an advocate of divorcing someone unless you’ve exhausted all avenues to achieve a successful marriage. In my first marriage there was things that went on that I simply could not let slide.

Why did you marry her to begin with?


Not me baw. My friend is the one counting the days to divorce.

She trapped him into marrying her by lying about birth control pills. Tip top human, rite there.
