[quote=Anonymous]I always feel so sad when I see posts like this.  Marriage (esp with small children) is hard and takes hard work, sacrifice and selflessness, and sometimes it's only one person doing the work. :(  I know you said you had tried couples counseling, but have you tried just going to counseling yourself and seeing what happens?  It seems you are torn between ripping your family apart and finding happiness, or staying and being miserable.  I'm one of the ones who doesn't think it is hopeless yet and small changes (which may end up being hard) will make a world of difference.  Fighting can be a vicious circle until one person decides they no longer want to fight.  When my husband I were first married (23 years now this year) I was the arguer.  I liked to hash things out until things were settled and that was not a good recipe for marriage.  My husband decided early on (which made me furious at first) that he would no longer engage me in arguments.  He simply walked away.  I would say that was the single best thing he could have done for our marriage because I learned that not everything was worth arguing over and most things looked very different on a good nights sleep or after emotions had cooled.  Praying for you for direction! ((Hugs))[/quote]
