<human>: Me and my Gf have been together for over 5 years, we have recently had a Son who is now 6 months old. First off I don't want to pose this question to r/relationships because all I got was to try couples therapy and when I even suggest that we need a mediator she gets defensive, takes offence to the idea.

We are both extremely stressed with each other , 24/7 fighting . I feel as though this will always continue because arguing over almost any issue was a constant even before our Son was born. 

I'm considering that this relationship is a lost cause but I love them both and do not know what to do going forward. Is he too young to subject this too ? financially we depend heavily on one another and most of are finances are joined. 

If anyone who has a had a similar situation could share some advice , I know my son will be loved no matter what, I just don't know where to go from here or if there is ever a right time to talk about it . Was considering trying a break to feel out how we both do individually. Thanks I can answer what I can!

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
