On the verge of divorce. Help.

Are you wanting the divorce and asking encouraging words to stay or he’s wanting divorce? Are you only wanting to stay bc you’re not financially stable but you’ve already checked out?
Idk your beliefs but I say pray on it. God hates divorce so if it’s anything besides infidelity you should try to work it out. When babies are that small it’s easy for parents to fight a lot bc of sleep deprivation etc… hang in there. Marriage takes a lot of forgiving. If I could’ve kept my family I would’ve!!! Just talk to him girly. Ask someone to watch the baby and yall get some alone time to work through yall differences

Have you considered marriage counseling? Have you listed the pros and cons to staying vs leaving? At the end of the day, you have to be okay with whatever decision you make ❤️

I wanna ask the same questions as Nichole above, but my culture/faith is a little different. If you've endured abuse or taking accountability for causing abuse, of any kind, physical, emotional, mental, then its best to not stay together as a couple. Children benefit from being raised by both good examples of a mother an father, if neither can be that together, they can be good examples separately.

If you want to do this, and you don't have financial independence, you'll need to prep a little. Are you currently employed or have access to being employed/are ready, 6 months after birth doesn't always allow you to be ready for all kinds of employment.

Join the Baby Daddy Drama group. It helps me a lot on these matters. It was my biggest fear to leave my husband especially since we just had our 4 month old son. I felt like it would be impossible plus when people told me about financial solutions I thought to myself “maybe it worked for them but not me.” I depended on him for so many things, especially since I didn’t have family or friends to help with childcare. Especially since with him gone I couldn’t pay for the rent myself. Especially because I didn’t want to be a 40-yr-old single mother. But I did it because I needed to and because the fear was the only thing holding me back from doing what I felt in my heart my son and I needed. Fear should not be a good reason. And now that we’re on our own I can say I’m so much happier. I figured things out that I never thought I would. My home is a safer place without him. My mental well-being is so much better. I’m free now, to build the life I want and truly deserve. You can do it!

Jeez. What side of peanut is this. God hates divorce? God also hates women being trapped in powerless, unhappy or abusive situations. Feel free to dm me for support. I hope you're ok and this hasnt frightened you into sticking with something toxic. Sometimes we are better apart. There are plenty of things besides infidelity that should not be put up with. Your children are watching and learning. Women are monstrously strong. You got this xxx
