Staying in a loveless marriage

[ILikeEggsAnd]

Has anyone else decided to stay in a loveless marriage because of DH refusing to grant sole custody of kid?

Why would you expect sole custody? Is there some reason DH couldn't look after your child?

Unless he's unwilling / incapable / bad for the child, a court will let him have some sort of custody / access if he wants it?
If your marriage is at the state where it's not about whether you should stay together in some way, rather it's arguing over custody - you both know it's over.
So try to agree what's best for the kid and workable for you both, rather than both digging your heels in and letting a judge decide later.

Why would you want to take away his custody rights?? Kids need 2 parents unless he's abusive then I think it's unreasonable to expect him to do this...

If he is abusive you need to leave straight away. Call woman's aid. Staying will damage your kids if this is the case and if it isn't then it's completely not the best thing for your kids to take away their dad.

Sounds like a great way to bring up a child…
