There’s no hope for my marriage after I lost my temper in front of our toddler
DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN I threw a cup at my wife in front of our young son, I realised it was time to end my marriage.
Our arguments have wrecked our relationship and things have gone too far. I can’t see a way back.
My wife and I have been married for five years and we have two sons, aged three and 18 months.
I am 34 and she’s 31.
Everything has been a struggle for the past year.
The other day, I lost my temper during breakfast. I was holding a cup and I threw it at her. It smashed on the wall really close to her – I just lost control. But our three-year-old was in the room and he was so scared, he burst into tears.

The realisation I had upset him made me feel absolutely terrible. I’m not a violent person, so this reaction means things are dreadfully wrong.
My wife says I need help, but I think it’s the relationship that’s the problem.
Although I’m sad to admit it, I believe it would be better for everyone if we called it quits.
DEIDRE SAYS: You lashed out because you were stressed and frustrated. As you know, it wasn’t OK to throw the cup.
