Thanks!  Yes, I hope so.  We both have very good careers so money won't be an issue.  I feel like once the kids are bigger I can just go if I want.  But, for right now, I like the idea of being with them everyday and giving them a solid homelife, even if it is not optimal for me personally (in the romance dep't anyway).[/quote]

Except that money may actually be an issue. If you wait until you are 50 to get divorced, you have less time to rebuild your finances, and you will like need more than 1/2 of the family pot.

Not saying you shouldn't stick it out, but I would start planning for a single-person's retirement now.[/quote]

That doesn't make any sense.  The longer you stick together the more time you have consolidated expenses (primarily housing) and can amass greater savings even if you have to split the money up in the end.  This scenario assumes a low conflict situation where both parties are reasonably prudent at budgeting.[/quote]

Right,  Sell the big, expensive house, split the money, have your 401k and other savings and enjoy.[/quote]
