Divorcing at 35 after a toxic marriage

[Anonymous]

Op you have time to find another man, a better man. And to start a family.

Maybe marry a single dad?

Unless she waits too long and misses her opportunity to have a family. Then she will regret that choice.

Women often regret the men, but rarely the children. Don't let some nitwit mess with your family planning. Sadly I know a few women who did and are sorry today. No kids or grand-kids.

A toxic husband will be a toxic coparent. Have a kid on your own now if you're on a timeline. Get a sperm donor, but don't procreate with an abusive man.

This. I don't regret my kids, but I do regret giving them a crap Dad. No dad at all would have been better. It is a special kind of pain to have a DAd that is disinterested or neglectful of you. It is an even deeper level of pain to watch someone be hurt in that way. It is a hole that is unfillable no matter how hard a parent may try. Don’t have a baby unless you are sure the other parent will be a good parent.
