If however you find yourself spending, more time at work than with your family because you absolutely cannot stand your spouse it may be time to hang it up. There is no way to make a relationship work if you are not willing to be home to work on it. There is no way to avoid this fact. However, if you are willing to spend some time at home working on your problems then you do stand a chance at making it last.
Additionally, if you are a human punching bag to your spouse who has a bit too much aggression then you definitely should consider your relationship over. Unless your spouse has some form of really good excuse other than "I didn't mean it I'm sorry" this is likely to turn into a pattern of abusive behavior.
