I want a divorce

I mean the title says it all...

Only I don't know how to tell him or how to approach it all together

People will think I'm ridiculous as we have only been married since October 2023. Since the wedding it's just all gone downhill...

I've totally fallen out of love with him and we feel like roommates living the same routine day in day out, no sex, no touching, just him watching porn whilst I'm out at work (he WFH) he's been confronted 3 times now nothing changes I've given up.

We've been together 6 years and have a 2.5 DD.

I've asked him to go to therapy with me or counselling and he just makes out it's stupid.

I catch myself now wondering what other relationships are like that I see or thinking is there someone else out there better for me?

We own a house, no savings and ideally I'd want to try and keep the house and buy him out which doesn't look likely right now.

Do I stay like this for the sake of my daughter? If I speak to him about how I feel he'll brush it off or think I'm being silly

Please save the abuse for another day I just don't know what to do and want the best for my daughter.

If you've asked him to go to counselling and he's refused then you have tried. The next step is to say that you're not happy and not willing to allow this situation to drift on unresolved. He either goes to counselling or you will be separating and you are going to apply for a divorce. You need to have the conversation ideally when your dd isn't home so you can leave easily if he starts getting angry.

Another problem I suppose is all his family live in Ireland and by that it's only two brothers left who he barely contacts so I know he's got no where to go - it would be me that had to temporarily move out to my mums which opens another can of worms
