[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emotional. Our family is not broken yet. My marriage might be. They still have mommy and daddy every day that love them very much. They have a sense of normalcy. I try to shield them as much as I can from what's going on between us. [/quote]

You are deluding yourself that your kids don't know and aren't affected by your DH's emotional abuse.  SERIOUSLY DELUDED.  You obviously have reasons to want to stay with him, but don't fool yourself that somehow you are doing it for your kids.  What are you modeling for them?  Seriously, if they grew up and married someone exactly like your DH, what would you want them to do?  Stay in it?  Or leave?  Think about that: if everything was the same, they married the exact same man, what would you want them to do?

Model it.  Model what you'd hope your girls would do.  Because they are learning from you, learning from what you put up with.  They hear and see far far more than you think they do, and it affects them far more than you think it does.

If your DH is truly emotionally abusive, you are doing more harm than good to your kids by staying with him.[/quote]

I'm the same PP, reading a few more posts, what I said above only applies if OP's DH is truly abusive.  If it's just OP being cranky or it's a bad match but not abusive, I don't necessarily agree then that it's better for her to leave.[/quote]
