[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get thee to a marriage therapist yesterday.  Do not throw divorce around so lightly - it will change who your daughter is as a person and you will see much less of her.

This.

There are options between your current reality and divorce.  Please explore counseling.  See if there are ways to build a marriage and partnership around each other's strengths and wishes - not around what one person wants the other to be (or not).  I married someone who approaches life VERY differently than I do and I didn't realize how bit a problem that could be when parenting - but we are working it through (with help).  For us it is starting w/ me accepting that my partner will never be the "perfect" partner I want.  But I can learn to appreciate what he brings to the table and where we are complementary.  And I can stop being mad at him for who he is.  That isn't fair.

Also, don't rule out the possibility of depression.  But don't leap to conclusions based on how you see things - find out what is really going on w/ your wife - and a therapist will help you set up an environment that will support effective communication.

Do it for your daughter.  Country clubs, stay at home moms, all the privileges in the world will not make up for giving her a home w/ two loving, happy parents.

Good luck.[/quote]
