[quote=Anonymous]Hugs, OP. I was in your EXACT situation. My H treated me like an employee and constantly gave me “performance reviews” to “help me do better”.

So I quit the job.

He didn’t like how I bathed DC? No problem, baths were now 100% his responsibility.

Didn’t like a food I made? I cooked for only myself and let him handle mealtimes.

Complained that the house was a mess? “I never wanted all that junk in the first place, dear. You won’t let me throw it away, so you can handle it the way you see fit”

When he micromanaged my interactions with DD, I’d leave the house for the day and let him manage things.

Within a couple months he was legit crying over how “hard” it all was. Yea dude. Unfortunately he still didn’t make the connection that *I* was also feeling like everything was hard. He still expected me to take on the burden but do it his way.

We divorced and life is so much better now. I get to run my household the way I want. My relationship with DD has drastically improved. I still get texts from xH trying to micromanage (“I need to discuss with you the way you bathe DD...” 🙄) but they’re easy to ignore.

Honestly every mom I know who got divorced became a rock star mom after divorcing. It’s so much easier to enjoy parenting when you’re not dealing with a sh!tty husband. [/quote]
