Married living like brother and sister

I found your website with hopes in finding some advice/input on a situation that I have.

First off, I am married and have a year old daughter that I am very proud of. I am also military and have only seen my daughter maybe 3 or 4 times, and I have 6 more years in the army. My wife has made it perfectly clear that she wants to stay in her home town near her family. My situation is that our marriage has grown into a brother/sister relationship where only bills are discussed. While I was on leave for 30 days, we had marital relations MAYBE 2 or 3 times.

Throughout the 4 years we have been married, there have been multiple marital indiscretions involving both sides.. and we have finally settled on a... routine of how to live day to day.

I have lately been talking to a female friend who knows everything about what is going on but still insists she is fine and will support whatever decision I make.

I have NO problem providing financial support for my daughter and want nothing but the BEST of things for her.

QUESTION: Would it be best to end the marriage, continue supporting my daughter in every way I can, and persue a more-then-friend relationship with the female friend? I have taken steps in finding out the truth about how to avoid such mistakes in a new relationship.. and am doing everything i can to be open and honest.. with the friend. I cannot even talk to my wife about anything anymore without fearing a huge fight/blowout. It may seem like a generic "falling in love with woman #2" question.. but I value 3rd party input.

Thank you for your time!

Anonymous! agony aunthey look i think you a great guy wanting to support your daughter in every way i think thats really great! but if you arent happy in your current relationship then i think its a good idea to get a divorse ESPECIALLY if you cant even speak to her properly like a normal couple. you need to be happy too and as long as you and your daughter are happy then thats all that matters. it sounds as though you'd be happier with this female friend, go for it!
