    I don't think you should write the relationship off just yet, you might be just going through a bad patch and she can't cope. Her time away from you may make her realise what she is throwing away and the grass is not always greener.

    I think she maybe wants to be rescued.. maybe she feels a little down.. I would def give her time to realise what she is throwing away, and do that by not giving in to her at this time. Let her realise that walking out with your child is not the way to handle things, sitting down and talking is.

    Sounds like she needs to grow up a bit and also she probably needs more of a purpose to life.

    What is she studying and for how much longer?

    Perhaps its a cry for help :)

    Looks like it to me. 2 year olds can be demanding but children get easier and easier as they get a little older.

    Is she happy in college? Is this what she wants to do? Is she happy in the home?

    I agree with this.

    The comment about 'you should've chased after me' suggests that she is upset about something that she probably hasn't told you about yet. She expects you to just know what it is.

    So, whatever you do, don't go chasing after her. As suggested above, give her some time to realise what she is throwing away, otherwise, this will be the start of a pattern for your relationship. A very unhealthy one.

    She certainly does have some growing up to do, but hopefully, this will teach her how to handle problems better in the future.

    Go to her and see if she will meet you halfway. I really hope this is just a bad patch and things work out. She may be really stressed about college and raising a toddler and running a house.

    Find out if she is happy about going to college, mayber her heart belongs at home with her daughter. She could always go back when she is in school full time.

    I wish you best of luck OP. Never easy with kids involved.

    Sorry but it sounds as though she was seeing someone else to me.

    No proof of that at all. Why make him feel worse?

    The chased after me comment seems to me that is she is confused and needs to be reassured and loved, it's a hard life once a child is born Mum at home Dad at work all the time and no time for yourselves, you need to go back to what brought you together, get the romance back into the relationship and I bet your other half wants to be loved and wanted.
