First off, I'll be praying for the two of you because I know this has to be really rough on you. Just remember, to breathe and try to stay calm during this time b/c you don't want to pass any stress on to the LO. Also, I agree with the other ladies that talking it out (although painful) will be the best thing to do. You got married because you love him and the same goes for him. There will always be hard times in marriages and the only way for it to work out is for both of you to make it work. It takes putting in the time and energy to get through the fights and disagreements to get back to a good place. It's best to deal with it now before the LO is caught in the middle. I think that questioning the marriage is natural, but something that you should fight the thought of instead of entertaining it.
My husband and I actually did some counseling and a few of their ideas include: cool down periods once one or both of us get heated...like a 20 oe 30 minute break in the middle of a heated argument. Also, to write down what we want to talk about on a piece of paper before we start the convo so that we remember to keep on topic instead of blowing up and talking about all kinds of unrelated disagreements all at once. Another thing that really is been the one we hang onto is the "drive though argument". He makes his point while I am forced to sit quietly and not interrupt him. Then when he's done, I have to repeat what I got out of what he said to show him that I fully understood his point. Then roles switch and he's forced to sit and hear my point and again repeat what I said. There's also a lot of using the formula, "When you say _____, I feel _____" That works well for us too. I know it's hard to convey what happens in therapy, but maybe it can give you a starting point, and I hope that things get better soon. Good Luck!
