[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is no abuse and infidelity is involved and its only about mild to moderate differences, parents should stay together for the sake of little people they brought into this world.

However, if you sincerely feel that its a toxic set up hurting all involved than know that marriage isn't a life sentence, you can come out alive.[/quote]

I agree with this. The tipping point is when the unhappiness in the marriage is creating unhappiness in the family that would be improved by divorce even thought here will also be negatives for the kids.

So I guess to answer OP's question, at no point does my happiness outweigh the happiness of my kids. But they are linked in that there is a point where I could be so unhappy that my kids are also unhappy. But I think it would have to be pretty bad because I also think that a family unit with two adults working together to raise kids is so much more efficient that you'd need to be VERY unhappy in your marriage for divorce to seem better for all involved.[/quote]
