[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried counseling, even just for yourself? Divorce is very expensive and disruptive to your kids. Before taking such a big step, I'd want to be able to say to my kids that I really tried everything before putting them through this.

Sure you can't stand your husband today, but [b]somehow he was good enough to have a baby with during the last year[/b]. The years when kids are under 5 were definitely the hardest. See if you can tap into what first attracted you to your husband. A good therapist can help with that and how to communicate better. It's worth a shot before upending your whole family. 
Good luck to you. [/quote]

I hate it when people say this.  One of the biggest and most consistent pieces of advice on this forum is that you need to continue having sex with your husband even if you're not happy with him.  I do think one should use birth control in that situation, but sometimes birth control fails.  Or sometimes people get pregnant when they didn't even consent to the sex.  So just the fact that someone has a baby does not mean that the man who fathered the baby was "good enough" to stay with.

I do agree that many people get divorced too readily and don't recogngize how hard it is, but I don't know what OP's situation is.  I've been in a terrible marriage for what feels like eternity because I am an obsessively practical person, and all I can think about is how hard it is and how the logistics are nearly insurmountable.  I'm doubt that's the right answer either.

I know this is a side convo started here, but au contraire I think having multiple kids breaks most men. They don't know what to do. They cry uncle and hide away at the office and only come out for play-time or vacation trips. [/quote]
