There isnt "one right way, that works for EVERY situation". however, moving out, is almost always the wrong way.
You said you moved out, "in an attempt to offer our daughter an atmosphere with less anger and arguing on a daily basis. "
But you have control over that already.
you have 100% control, over whether there is anger and arguing between your wife and yourself.
it takes two people to have "an argument". Wost comes to wost: All you have to do, is keep your mouth closed.
It's tough to do. it takes self control. but it IS an option, if you choose it.
Right now, it's close enough to when you moved out, for you to change your mind. Your daugher needs you with her. every day.
Reguardless of whether you condone what your wife is doing, you are depriving your daughter of your presence, of your own choice.
of your own choice.
When you live in the same house, your daughter always has the ability to come to you, when she wants to be with you. When you live apart, she does not. Yuu are depriving her of her choice to be with you when she wants to.
I suggest you re-think your decision to move out.
Are you really saying, that you are incapable of controlling your own mouth and actions?
When and if your wife forces you to live separately... that then becomes HER choice. But until you are served with papers, and court orders to do otherwise... you are abandoning time with your daughter, out of your own choice.
Plus, in her mind, you are "the one that left the family" now.
