I think we'd be in a totally different place now if I had just let things go and stopped being so intent on fixing everything.
Nicole - STOP IT!!!! This is a man who said he wished your daughter had never been born!!!! The marriage would not have been saved if only you did things this way or that - the problem is in HIM!!! He's not a good man ( no good man would say that about his own child no matter how exasperated).
You didn't break him and you can't fix him. If he wants to give you stuff out of guilt, take it - don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Keep moving forward, enjoy your friends, find a great job and let go of him.
