[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before you divorce, stop doing anything that benefits him. No laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. Don't help him find his car keys, buy a gift for his mother, or make his colonoscopy appointment. No affection or intimacy of course. Treat him like a platonic roommate you found on Craigslist. Then perhaps he will see all you do for him and how much work it is. Maybe he will start to appreciate you. But honestly, I doubt it! You have my blessing to skip straight to divorce if all that sounds unappealing.  :) [/quote]

Getting passive aggressive isn’t helpful nor will it have that result you fantasize about.

Divorce is an option but don’t expect it to be a panacea and understand you lose daily access to your child.[/quote]

OP here. That's why I don't want to divorce, I don't want to not see my kid everyday. And honestly, she will HATE that too.[/quote]

without divorce the household just becomes bitter and unhappy (at best). divorce in your case does NOT have to mean 50-50. [/quote]

I would bet he doesn't even want 50/50. Or if he does, he will quickly change his mind once he sees how much work it is.. Op, nothing is going to magically change. Get therapy for yourself and see if he will do marriage counseling. You both sound miserable together so I can't really see this ending in any way that's not divorce. And yeah, your kid will hate divorce. But its better than being raised in a household full of resentment and hatred. [/quote]
