I was wondering about this myself today. Sure seems like a lot of us are having marital problems lately. I have been married to husband for 23 yrs. and I've about had with him. easy child/difficult child can do nothing right as far as he is concerned but on the other hand he is very against her leaving. That's a lot of the reason she stays.
I just don't understand him anymore. It's like the better she does the worse he gets. I have gotten to the point of not wanting to even come home from work at night. It's not because of her, it's him. I am so sick of his constant b******* I could just scream. I wonder what kind of crud it's gonna be this time as I'm pulling into the driveway. He has me so stressed out most of the time I'm beginning to resent him to put it nicely.
All the c*** he is gripping about is so minor it's just crazy. It's stuff like leaving her purse on the bathroom sink, or falling asleep on the couch when she gets home from work. Yes, she still has issues but she has come so far so fast I am very proud of her. Some of the stuff he grips about is justified but most of it is just ridiculous. It's not so much that he gets mad about it, he gets in a rage about it.
As far as choosing between the two of them, I could never turn my back on my child. I love her unconditionally but that doesnt mean I have to approve of some of the choices she makes or enable her to be stupid.
Her and her dad are so much alike it makes it hard on me. I'm pretty easy going and passive. They are the opposite to the extreme and I've just about had it with the both of them.
Sorry this is so long but I guess I've been needing to vent about this for awhile now.
