I'm not suggesting that we always agree on every single thing, but I just couldn't handle having one week a month where things were frustrating or whatever.

I'm the same. We don't ever fight or argue. We can talk openly and get heated about some subjects like politics but never angry and have never called her any insults. We have 2 kids and sure things were stressful when they were young up until now that they are both in school and are easier to deal with but don't fight with each other about it. I married her because she was my best friend (that was a girl) and we've been hanging out every day since we met. She comes from a Pakistani Catholic family though so her opinions on marriage are more traditional and I would never have to worry about her being unfaithful.
OP sounds like your wife might be having some issues with mental illness (bi-polar/depression/ect) and it might be hard to bring up with her but it might save your marriage if you are there for her and offer support. If it doesn't work out in the end just be mature and focus on co-parenting your kid.
A friend of mine who is divorced has a good relationship with his ex and they co-parent fine. If either one of them starts dating then they introduce the new partner to the ex before even thinking about having the new relationship meet the kids. If you date keep the women away from the kids until you are sure that it will be a long term relationship.
