When your marriage is now filled with mostly resentment, anger, and no respect for each other, isn’t that about the time to leave? Because right now, that’s what’s going on. I don’t feel it when we have sex anymore (honestly, I could go with out it these days with her), we mostly fight, I sleep at least twice a week on the couch. It’s getting ridiculous. We have a kid together and live in the Bay Area in CA so leaving is extremely difficult. But I fantasize about it all the time. And being with someone else that doesn’t have hair trigger anger issues, hasn’t frickan stabbed me (yes, that happened) and has respect for herself and me at the same time.

If that sounds like something some of you has dealt with, what kind of advice do you have? I’ll take any at this point.
