I understand the not to leave for an OP or even for the possibility of an OP. Also walking out and "abandoning" your children is not OK.

Your post implies that if there are children you should by all means stay in a loveless marriage.

is it better to stay in a loveless (not even friendship) marriage just because you have young children.

Wouldn't it be better for the children if both parents were happy living healthy lives even if being seperate from each other is required to do that?

what if one partner doesn't really spend much time with the children already and that would be the parent who visits and not the main caretaker. Being divorced or seperated may actually provide the children with a better relationship with that parent because they will spend time with them regularly.


I suppose I should have been less vauge with my original post. I am not a WAS, I was a LBS whos was had an ea (at minimum 2.5 years long may have even been pa but never admitted to), was adminatley wanted d, 9+ month seperation, was returned and we are not much more than roomates and he interacts minimally with the children.

It's easy to say...make yourself happy but when you are making yourself happy it's hard to not notice the fact that you really don't have a r with your spouse and not question wtf it's all for.
