Dear jessaimee:

Of the two choices: leave OR stay and fight, the answer is definitely Leave. Fighting harms children and your child needs a calm home, no fighting.

If there is a chance for this relationship, maybe the two of you can attend competent couple counseling, learn skills that will make it possible for you to get along without fighting. Once principle I learned in couple counseling is EAR: to treat each other with Empathy, Assertiveness, Respect. Always respect.
