[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone wish they had separated before the baby was old enough to remember you and your spouse as a married couple?[/quote]

It's a big reason by husband and I are separating at this time.  Our relationship had always been a functional unit with low stress but little connection, we made each other's lives easier but didn't add much to it.  We decided to have a baby and once I was pregnant he realized that our marriage was not the model he wanted our child to have as they grew up (no affection, roommates, cordial) and made the hard call to ask for a divorce when I was in my third trimester.  Now our daughter is less than a year and we split time, we each see her a bit every day because of her daycare schedule and split weekends.  It's actually been a great stress reliever for me since, while she is a very easy baby, I have 2-3 nights a week to myself where I can go out with friends or run errands or watch my shows. I miss her those nights, but we generally don't go more than 24 hours without seeing her.  But it was important to us that she not know us together and have a functional coparenting family than stay together 'for her sake' for years when we knew the marriage was over and have it be an earth shattering revelation one day.[/quote]
