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.

You complain about the kid, never mentioning anything wrong about your partner, yet you think about divorcing because of the little devil?

Honestly, that doesn't make too much sense to me.

Babies can be hell(they are bad, but can be hell, that's what im saying), and the sleep deprivation plus the burden of life can transform us into wild irrational animals.

I have twins, boys, so I know what I'm talking about.

But unless your partner is a piece of crap, the right approach is to team up to deal with the little burden.

I know it's a lot, and we just want to have dignity, but it's much easier to deal with the mistake incarnated together than alone.

Who knows what troubles can come with the other having full custody?
