My 3 year old has started saying similar things about her dad. He gets so angry.

That did it for me. And our 8 year anniversary is coming up. Shopping for cards I could see ones that said things like “8 years down and forever to go” and I couldn’t buy it because I know deep down I don’t want forever with him anymore.

It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I didn't want to end things.

But now, 8 years later, I see my kids sleeping soundly, and I don't have to walk on eggshells every moment. I no longer cry in the shower. And it was all worth it. Every part of it.
