Been lurking for about a year. Marriage hasn’t been that great. Been married 10 years with one kid (toddler). Wife told me last night she wants to separate. I told her I was not moving out. She was shocked. She thought I would move out and come over some evenings to see our kid.

Then she asked if she could take my daughter and move in with my parents. Hard pass. So now she’s saying she’ll have to move 1.5 hours away to her parents house. That will make it damn near impossible to see my kid during the week. I’m conflicted as to what to do here.
