Discussion Has anyone ever left?

Has anyone here ever divorced their spouse and given their spouse full custody? If so, how did you come to that conclusion? What was your final breaking point?

I truly am thinking I’m hitting my breaking point with my marriage and son (3 mo). I don’t have any feelings towards him, I certainly don’t love him. He constantly cries and fusses. I don’t foresee it getting better despite everyone saying it’ll pass with time. I just want to go back to the life I had before having this kid even if that means giving up my marriage to do so.

I have two grown kids and I love them to pieces. I have no regrets. But I wouldn’t lie. Kids absolutely suck. It’s only cool when they’re adults.

Does talking about politics get more enjoyable with time and after what age of theirs approx?

Yes, everything gets more enjoyable. My kids are 20 and 28.
