[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you abandon your child if they had the same problem? Family is family. You do what you can, but protect yourself and others from abuse and violence.[/quote]

Agreed.

I would only divorce for abuse or active addiction. Maybe adultery, but even that is something from which you can recover. [/quote]

Why though if my staying with someone isn’t helping anyone and is hurting me? Let’s say I have a severely depressed spouse.  Every weekend is miserable, his misery sucks any happiness out of our home, and it’s been going on for years and he’s either unable or unwilling to tackle it.  He’s miserable whether I’m there or not.  Why should someone stay in that situation sacrificing any joy or happiness in their home life?  Who is that serving?[/quote]

The same could be said of someone with chronic pain or chronic fatigue or any illness that makes people feel miserable most of the time. It is a slippery slope. I think chasing happiness can lead to a grass isn't greener. You leave him only to find that after the excitement of the next guy wears off, it isn't all joy and happiness either. [/quote]
