I fought hard to keep my M, but right at the core of it all was that staying together had to be because H and I wanted to be together because we loved one another. Staying together just for the childrens' sake was never an option.
I have lived through my own parents split and my experience has been that two 'happy' separated parents was way better than two unhappy ones who remained together.
A separation does not mean that a reconciliation is never possible.
As Lotus has said, only YOU know what to do.
