Divorce isnt resolving the issues. It's modelling "job hopping until you find the 'perfect' match for you".
Not necessarily. If a couple (or one partner) has attempted to resolve issues, and the other partner is resistant to the point of immobility, then there is no resolution to be reached, save, of course, the option of turning off whatever part of you is necessary to continue living an "ethical" life with your spouse. And then what are you teaching your child? "Sacrifice your Self for the benefit of others"? "If you make a poor choice, you're stuck with it forever"? "Unless your mate is abusive, he/she is your mate for life"?
And there's always a bit of wiggle room in the definition of "abuse", isn't there? If your spouse refuses to make any effort to understand, validate, or meet your basic needs, isn't that a form of emotional abuse?
And I know if was the first analogy to pop into your mind, but I want my kids to do a bit of "job hopping" (for the right reasons), in order to find what's right for them.
