[quote=Anonymous]The problem with "will my divorce be better for me" is that there is a natural comparison to compare your current situation to pre-marriage.  It's totally unrealistic.

Pre-marriage, the dating pool was enormous, almost limitless, no one had real "baggage."  Post-divorce, the singles market is totally, completely, different.  Add on to the fact the split custody, the hit to finances, the holidays without the kids, the total loss of control over what the kids do when they are with your ex.  Also, some kids handle divorce well, others don't and it's not always easy to predict which way it will go.  A lot of that depends on how your ex responds to the divorce.  No matter how mature you are, if your ex is determined to blow it all up, they can ruin the kids and your relationship with them in the process.

Which isn't to say there aren't happy endings, or that people should suffer through misery for years for the sake of marriage.  As a PP said, it's about choosing the least worst options.  If your situation at home isn't that bad, chances are it's a better option than divorce.[/quote]
