Toughest battles can be interpreted in many ways, all qualify.

My situation is similar.

My partner just treats me so poorly I've long since lost a romantic attachment to her.

However, we have 2 young children, and my partners employment prospects aren't great. We can't afford 2 houses. As in we would share custody and i would pay her whatever was required, but no matter how you slice it the same income has to pay for 2 houses instead of one.

For the time being i just have to carry on.

Yes, my kids dont see a "happy loving relationship" but they dont really see an abusive one, just a miserable one maybe.

IDK if we're super "successful" co-parents but we are at least an effective team i think.

    Thanks for sharing. It helps to hear I'm not the only one in a situation like this. Try living your life anyways. Take your kids on trips and spend as much time with them as you can. :)

    Sending you much love.
