Marriage
Anybody else have any experience or advice? It would be greatly appreciated as I feel like my life is crumbling around me.
p.s. Sorry for being so heavy this early in the morning!

Your son will be fine, either with his parents together or seperated. It sometimes is worse for children if the parents do stay together, if it is a loveless marriage. DO try to salvage the marriage first or you will live with regrets that perhaps you could of tried harder.
The very best of luck.

I think willow74 is right, dont give up just yet, there is no harm in trying, and if it doesnt work out, then atleast u'll know u didnt give up without a fight. But the only way you can do this is if u really want because if in your mind you already think the marraige is over, going for counselling wont help much, its only if both of you think your marraige is worth saving and there is actually hope will it help.
Your son will be alrite, i dont think he would be much happier seeing both his parents unhappy. He is very young, it'll be tough for him to understand now, but with time he will.
Best of luck. Take care.
Yinzer, how long have you felt this way? You see you say your son is only one yr old & I'm no expert but you could have post natal depression. Please don't think that this is something you only get a few days/weeks after giving birth because I know from experience that it can start much later & become a long term state. Go & have a chat with your GP or health visitor & tell them exactly how you feel. Maybe if you felt a bit happier in yourself then your marriage might not seem such a drudge. Even if you do decide to part at a later date at least you might feel more confident than you obviously do now.
All the best.
