Time to call it a day?

LegacyUser

Married not even a year, but with my partner the best part of ten. We always had are own little things we did, but always made time for each other. My partner has changed though five months into the marrage saying she feel trapped and want to go and live. We also have a child so i stay home and mind them. Lately though i feel like just a babysitter my partner goes out with her mams partner and his friends. She doesn't acknowledge me in the morning before work and and night going to bed. I get our child ready for creche, make the bth of them breakfast and still nothing. I come home, make the dinner and nothing. Things did come to a head a few months ago and she went back to her mams for a week and between us made sure our child was looked after well and happy. It was at this time that i found out she was was texting a man a good bit older than her that had been wih her sister and going through a divorce. The whole sister thing was kept a secrect and she asked me not to tell anyone they were texting wach other. I found this out as she would go out to the pub with her mams partner and get home bout 6, which is alot later thans pus close. She said she would go back to her mams with her mams partner and then have trouble getting a taxi homre. I took this as a valid reason.
She does not come near me at all. I initiate every sign of affection and love making is maybe once a month. I think it's time to call a day at this. I love my wife and my child, but nothing i can do seems to make this marriage work. I have no family here and she prefer i not talk to my friends about this as she does not want them to think of her her in a bad way.
Wat i have come up with is to sell the house and my car both of which would still carry good equity in this market and leave the country. I would miss them both extremely bad, but i get the feeling that my wife is having an extremely bad time with me. I feel she would be more happy and would be more easy for her and my child if i was gone altogether. I just don't want my child to think later in life that i walked out for the wrong reason. Maybe someone could give me some outside advice as i am lost and the lyrics of i cant make you love me by george michael seem too close to home
I'm sorry so long and drawn out, but i just wrote as i thought. Any help appreciated, even to type this was a little help

I realise you are feeling frustrated, but surely the first step is some sort of marriage counselling, not a separation.

You may have a problem selling the house under the Family Home Protection Act - until the child is 18, it is the family home.
