When you and your husband have a big argument/problem do you think of divorce?

I’m just curious if i could have potentially adapted to the “flight” response when it comes to marital issues. E.g, when husband fails to have my back when his mum says mean things to me or disrespects me. (Quite a few problems have come from this). I think “yeah I can’t live like this or stay with this man who didn’t protect me at that time”.

I was wondering if that’s a little normal as well 🤔

The only time I seriously thought of divorce was one ongoing issue that hit a full on breaking point and I felt that if we could not get on the same page then I would have to divorce.

I was in a similar situation but MIL was really overstepping and my husband refused to see my point. It got to the point where I wanted a divorce. yes that's his mother I'm not expecting him to choose between us but I did expect him to let her know that she doesn't get a say with our children and she had to show me some respect

@Drew 😱 I could’ve written this myself! They want control over my kids and it’s just not on!! It’s been an ongoing issue for months now and I’ve considered divorce over it so many times!

@Dana 🦅♥️🤍💙 hmm I’ve considered it around 10 times this year as we’ve had the most problems. I might have a problem lol

I’ve never thought of divorce before. Our “fights” are super mild and we have a rule that it’s us as a team against the problem so we never feel disrespected during conflict. If you’re considering divorce regularly during conflict, I would have a chat with your husband to come up with strategies for solving conflicts in a healthy way that doesn’t leave anyone feeling hurt. If that doesn’t work, trust your gut.

I'm sorry OP it's so hard going through that. It was a struggle to get my point across. But I just told him being a grandparent is a privilege it's not a right. these are my and your kids your parents already had there chance to raise kids. If I'm not going to be respected then we didn't need to be together bc I refuse to have the same argument over and over and have our kids living in a toxic environment. Thankfully after a week of not really speaking he must have done some deep thinking bc he wasn't willing to break up the family he created for his mom

I never got married however I was with my ex for 11 years and I swear to you, almost every year, multiple times a year I would say I wanted to break up to myself. Many of them times I actually made it known! The thing is however we had issues almost from the start, I tried to address said issues and nothing ever got better, in fact they got worse and I was being blamed for almost everything! I had the thoughts I did because I felt trapped for 11 years! I had to ask for permission for a break or break up and was always refused which is why I had it. For me after a while even the smallest things were too much to deal with
