Pregnant wife asked for Khula. How's life as a single dad?

My wife asked for Khula, 2 months into pregnancy. We had a tough first year of marriage, 6 months to be precise. No blaming her or me, it's just we married for our parents and it isn't working. Family disputes and everything.

I didn't accept but I plan to, after she deliver the baby. And I plan to pay for the baby or her too, if that's what she wants until I can get the child.

I don't know if I'll marry again. Not being pessimistic. If I find someone, that I really like and I think it'll work, I'll go ahead in Sha Allah. Not sure if a desi would marry a single dad. I mean , if Allah wills, I'll find one. But I'm walking with the idea of raising the child myself , in Sha Allah. What do you think?

Did I wreck her life?

Hi

27yo, Muslim. Married another 27yo, about an year ago. Arranged marriage coz my parents rejected everyone I liked. They wanted someone in our culture. I didn't find any.

So this girl, my wife, is a very obedient child. Very simple, innocent. However, she's seen a lot of troubles in her elder sister's marriage. So, she's been cautious from day 1. And my mom ended up quarrelling with her mom on the reception night over some luggage issues. Since then, they've been avoiding my family and always wanted me to be close to them. I wasn't ok with that but I went along for her sake. She did her part in trying to get close to my family too, as per her. I found her always being cautious, keeping her distance.

This was all ok. Until, she started rejecting my decisions for us. She'd want her say and I'd always give her that. I always considered her and went along when things made sense. However, at a point, I disagreed and wanted to do what I wanted to do. She disagreed. Involved her family. They'd pressurize me into doing what they liked. My family then got involved and said they cannot do that. Her parents would fume over my parents then cut calls. Then when my parents called back, record that my mom was angry and show me that to prove it. That escalated things in me, and we ended up with a massive quarrel. They cursed me and I cursed them back. She started behaving rude with my parents then. Eventually, she went away saying she cannot live with me. Her uncle picked her up, met me while doing so. Later he figured he didn't wanna get involved or that I calmed down and came back to drop her but I was out by then.

Now she asked her family to collect her belongings. We both broke each others things during quarrels. She said she wants a divorce, I didn't say yes.

Now , I'm wondering that since she's not changing her stance, if I say yes, will I have wrecked her life, if I say yes?
