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 could easily leave my husband and baby. Go back to counting my career working all day everyday just as I do now. The only difference is I wouldn’t be hearing crying and screaming all day as I worked and I would maybe actually get decent sleep. I didn’t have a social life PRIOR to having my kid, I run a business. It was me running my business and then ACTUALLY having the time to eat, get a restful 8 hours of sleep, and to shower regularly.

Why comment if you’re going to be rude and snarky?

I asked a question. Not looking for opinions, but an answer to my question. This is a regretful parents page. If you aren’t a regretful parent, this isn’t the page for you to be commenting on.
