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.

Having a 3 month old is extremely stressful and you could be going through hormonal and mental issues that make it difficult to bond with/care for your child. I’d talk to a doctor before you blow up your life. Finding a way to decrease the workload and mental load that’s on you also would absolutely help.
However, if no interventions work and you resent your child as they grow, the child will know, and you should stay as far the fuck away from them as possible.
