[quote=Anonymous]OP, he sounds a lot like my dh and I have tried everything (including therapy, couples and individual), but nothing has worked.  I would have done anything to avoid putting our child through a divorce.  My last attempt included being the Best Wife Ever to him and on my own enjoying time with our child and pursuing my own interests.  Well, I think I stroked his ego too much, because after a couple of years (where he actually seemed really happy) he started an emotional affair with a younger, former co-worker.  The affair ended after a couple of months, but now I'm just done.

The only things that actually "work" with my dh are (1) using reverse psychology and (2) never, ever letting him see what hurts me.  If you take the things your dh is doing that hurt you the most and change your reaction to the exact opposite, his payoff will end (not right away, but pretty quickly) and he will stop that particular behavior.

You really have to make a plan and get out.  Your child is young enough not to remember a time when you lived together and having you and dh in separate homes will seem normal.
