[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I fight way too much.  We aren’t going to make it and we both know it so all compromise and cooperation has gone out the window.  I know our fighting is hurting my kids, especially my 8 yr old son but I just can’t seem to just stop arguing or getting angry with DH in front of the kids.

I’m feeling enormous shame just writing this.  [/quote]

Stop this. Figure out a way. Even if that way is divorce. As the child of two parents who hate each other, I carry anxiety about them being around each other today, as a 36 year old. They are long since divorced. Love your children more than you hate him. Leave, end the relationship now, find a way to stop. And when you do eventually split, don't make your kids choose, in any way, who to be loyal to.

I know you feel bad, I don't want to add to that, but this is one of the things on here that will really screw a kid up long term. [/quote]

+1. I used to be in the stick it out for the kids until they graduate camp but have since changed course- it doesn’t no good for anyone and kids really internalize the tension. My parents divorced when I was 6, and it was ugly and I have very vivid memories of their terrible fights. [/quote]
