Husband and I have grown apart

Been married for over ten years, have a four year old child. Since having a little one we simply do not get along on quite frankly every level.
I don't feel comfortable being around him. It's simpler to avoid each other around the house and when he's away I feel at ease.
Speaking to him is a waste of time, he forces his opinion on people, is argumentative and dismissive. Literally doesn't listen to anyone's point of view so I've given up on having any real conversation with him. His ego means that he cannot take any form of feedback/criticism and it turns into an argument,
I feel I need peace amd that can only be achieved living separately. I feel we're too old to keep going in circles and I've put it down to us just not getting along and I'm no longer prepared to work on it.
Any thoughts?

I'm in exact same situation, and no motivation to work on relationship.. Staying for the sake of DC right now but don't know how long more I can do it.
You may want to think what is the most important for you, how your life will be if you separate. Will your husband be willing to take parenting share 50:50 etc.

I'm sorry you're going through it. May I ask how old DC is?
DH is an amazing dad, and think he might do his fair share of parenting. I wonder if some of our disagreements stem from different parenting styles....
