While I don't agree with everything in your post, there's a lot of truth there. Divorce doesn't always have to be the end. Sometimes it is the beginning. Still, there is a child involved, and that child's needs must be considered above all.

It's imperative that BOTH the poster and his wife need to realize that marriage is a two-way street.

[no means yes]

Yes, the child's interest above all. But one should remember that it is not a positive to teach a child that marriage is all about cowtowing or henpecking. That child will grow up and replicate its parent's marriage. Better show them a good one, or the child will suffer in marriage, too.
