H2H,
The conversation went well. She did not even bring up or bash me for my other woman sl^t b^tch...OWSB.

First off...my point is trying to be happy is NOT a bad thing. It is a good thing. That's what our minds do by nature. They build up defense mechanisms to avoid pain so we have a shot at being "happy".

We should not take "happiness" for granted and feel like just because we were born on this earth we are ENTITLED to it. Life sucks. We will appreciate happiness more knowing it is a blessing or a gift not someting we deserve.

There are two sides to every story. If you H is being abusive....I agree...protect yourself and your child.

Divorce is not a good thing, but neither is abuse.

I'm not here to try to save your marriage, unless you reveal more that may give me hope.

You are so young and have so much potential. I think your worldview will set you up for a lot of pain. I'm more concerned about your mind than your marriage.
