Should i leave?

Seem to be living seperate life from dh, we never seem to have anything to talk about and i am seriously considering leaving. DD seems happier when she is either alone with me or dh, seems wound up when we are together. I know i am soft on her but i sometimes feel it would be better if it was just me and dd.

It's often the case that dc are hyper when both parents together - doesn't mean that they'd be better off with you split up.

What other issues other than lack of communication are there? How does the lack of communication impact on how you nboth care for your dd?

Are you in conflict over how to care for dd?
Have you tried other options like
counselling?

Only you know if you're really unhappy and would be better off leaving, have you talked to your dp about this?

Your dd may seem happier when you're alone with her because that is how you want to percieve it? In reality children are very adaptable and would be happy if you stayed or went as long as it's not a hostile and violent atmosphere. Children do pick up on vibes too so if you're wound up when you're with him she will sense it and be wound up too.

Have you tried injecting some passion/ hobbies/ quality time with your dp?

Think about how you felt when you first got together?

Think about how you would feel if you saw him with another woman/ living with another woman?

What about handing your dd over to him for weekends/ holidays and not being part of it?
