How can you know if things with SO will work out or if you should stop now?

I’ve been in a relationship and married for 6 years now. He was my first. I gave him a son. Never cheated on him and have done my best for the good of our family. But he doesn’t let me in and I’m tired of fighting to help him. How do I know if I should keep pushing forward or if I should quit now? I don’t want to turn around and have lost 20 years of my life, but I do care about him. I loved him at first but so much has happened and I don’t know anymore.

Your problem is that you are fighting. That is a certain failure of getting some one to open up. If he needs to be on his guards all the time he will close up not the opposite.

You’re making very hasty decisions having bad thoughts about throwing in the towel. I would highly recommend go to a Christian counselor

If there was no cheating or abuse, and you have a child together, you seem like the perfect type of couple that might benefit from marriage counselling, and learning how to communicate better.

I agree with @Chris_Morgan

Marriage counseling should be pursued.
