my friend that is the biggest mistake we always make ( myself included).
the idea that "i would like it to work"

a relationship requires two people to want it to work. the two of you have to want it to work, i get the impression she doesn't care how she makes you feel..this is unacceptable..unless of course..you accept it.

in all honesty..the fact that you have a child together is irrelevant.

i don't mean that in a condescending way, just stating the facts.
yes you have a child together, this is true..but that doesn't mean that now you must be subjected to a lifetime of misery..because the two of you had a child.

most people are resistant to change..and also unwilling.i get the impression this is the case here. you are unhappy..this is not good..you deserve to be happy..but at the end of the day..you and you alone are responsible for your happiness..if you continue to let her treat you like sh**..then you have no one to blame but yourself, you can't blame her..she doesn't want to change and she keeps doing it.

you are at a crossroads..it's up to you to take a stand and deliver an ultimatum.."if you expect me to continue to be with you..you need to treat me with respect and dignity.period". you need to explain to her that you are not her doormat and your heart is not her personal stomping pad..simple as that.

in reality..relationships are simple..it is us and our emotions that make them complex.if you can take emotion out of the picture..if only for a moment..you will see that i am indeed correct. if someone cannot treat you with fairness,kindness and decency..the same they would expect out of you..they don't deserve your love trust and loyalty & it's up to us to do what is best for us in the end.. i truly hope this helps
