When the parents aren't getting along, or are resentful of one another, the children KNOW that - believe me. My parents never got along, and all 4 of us kids were very much aware of it. Then they were fight ~ and of course we heard it and it scared the daylights out of it.
I think a child does better if the parents are divorced, than having to live in a household with parents who fight, argue, resent each other and walk around on egg shells. Children know this, and consequently THEY feel stressed to the hilt ~ I know I did!!  I never knew if something I would say would set them off and they yell at ME or what. Kids don't understand the workings of a relationship like that. I remember HOPING my parents would get divorced so I wouldn't have to listen to them fight anymore.  But they never did. 
It might be better for your child to go your separate ways. At least your child would have quality times with both of you without having to listen to quarrels afterwards. God bless. Hugs, Lee
