Hey together
We as a couple have had a rough couple months and the relationship has unfortunately deteriorated since the birth of our toddler. Constant arguing over random things have made a productive relationship and team effort almost impossible. Whatever I say, my spouse takes the opposite view. I tend to be the more rational parent (for instance, no or little screen time) and have to say No to our child more often, while my spouse says Yes to everything.
It is fair to say that without our child we would be separated. Now I have personally never come across a divorce in which the children didn’t suffer sooner or later, hence I am hesitant to get divorced for our child’s sake. It would break my heart to see our little one suffer from a break-up.
I am writing this as I just don’t know how to solve the situation. It’s hard to talk like an adult to my spouse without it ending in yet another argument. I truly hope that someone is so kind to have some advice.
Thank you
