We got into an argument last night and he said that he realizes I don't want to married anymore and that if that is what I want then fine. He says it is all my daughter's grandparents fault because she gets her way over there and then she comes home and thinks she can run the house here too. She only goes over there 1 day and 1 night a week. He said that over the last few weeks I have been trying to make him look like the big bad wolf and he is tired of it. He said he has been the same person since we got together and there was never a problem. Now all of a sudden there is a problem. In the same conversation he says that he knows we have had the same issue with daughter come up for years now. Wouldn't that tell you that I have had problems for years. I told him that I didn't have this issue until our son was born. He used to spend time with my daughter and do things with her and love her. He was talking really loud even though we were in the other room and I know my daughter could hear us. I told him to lower his voice because she could hear him. He said "Good! Let her hear me. This is what she wants. She wants us to argue so then you will baby her." I asked why he thought it was okay for her to hear us arguing and he said not to change the subject. That it was his house and he can talk as loud as he wanted to. He said I was ordering him around and talking to him like a child. I said fine "can you please lower your voice so she doesn't hear us?" He said that was better. I said apparently if we have been arguing for years over the same subject that the problem is not getting resolved. He said he thinks all of a sudden I don't want to be married anymore. That is half way true. What is that saying "I can do bad all by myself". At this point I don't want to be with any man. I guess I thought my husbands behavior was just short term and that after me bringing it up so many times we would correct it and realize it really is a problem to me. Instead he blames me for making him act that way by not disciplining her enough. That if he could use actions instead of words she wouldn't be the way she is now. SHE IS NOT A BAD KID. She does normal six year old things. He thinks she knows everything she is doing. I told him that she is not emotionally mature as an adult. He said "she knows what she is doing". Like she is some sabotaging spy or something. I am so angry. We have been together for almost 5 years and married for only a year. If I had known it was going to be like this I would have stayed a single mother.
