Asking for advice from Woody or any other father/husband.

Kinda branching off what he said, my parents are separated and I’ve benefited more seeing two separate but happy people rather than the constant fighting and instability that comes with a toxic relationship. There’s so much trauma that a child goes through when the parents force a relationship. Your daughter might end up feeling guilty for your unhappiness. You don’t want her to ever feel that. You can show your daughter the love she deserves and still be a happy man elsewhere. You sound like a great guy in a tough spot. My honest advice is y’all with you now girlfriend and let this thing end. Don’t let your daughter grow up around the fighting and distrust. A happy and healthy split family is much much better than a destructive together one. Best of luck to you man, I know it’s hard but you’ll get through it
