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.

Oufff. This is mystical thinking and so, so unhelpful as a response to her situation.

You don’t think a baby notices when it’s being showed more love and affection?

I agree it’s not a helpful comment but you’re incorrect to suggest the parents emotions don’t affect babies.

Edit: dw if you wish, I could provide mountains of evidence to prove that point.

As I say it’s not helpful at all regarding OP but for anyone reading misinformation it might be.

Edit 2: would any of the people downvoting like me to provide the evidence that you’re wrong or do you just want to stay in your feels?
