I haven't posted in a while, just been lurking because things seemed to be going okay with my family. I attend church with my TBM wife to help her with the kids during sacrament meeting, and then I read a book during the remaining time at church. It's not ideal, but I thought it was a workable situation.
Recently, though, my 5-year old son has been having trouble sitting through sacrament meeting, and he says he'd rather stay home than go to church, because it's boring. Yesterday, he also refused to say the blessing at dinner. I don't have a problem with that, but my wife does. She still has hopes of a "forever family", and seeing the signs that her little boy isn't 100% Mormon makes her sad. She spent the evening crying and holing up in our bedroom, and I spent the evening feeling like crap.
I've had thoughts ranging from anger to depression, and although I love my wife, I've had thoughts of divorce. I honestly don't know what to do, and I can't see spending the rest of my life in this situation. I apologize for dumping like this, but I truly need advice from those who have been through this before.
What would you do?
