[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get a divorce, your kids will be damaged FOREVER. Don't kid yourself about this. Since DH is not abusing you or the kids, the right thing to do is put the kids needs first, and stay married until they leave for college. [/quote]

Sorry, OP, but +1[/quote]

I know other children of divorce have chimed in here but living with miserable people isn't that great. They'll get over it, especially if they're young. Sure it will have ripple effects but everyone will survive and they'll have better relationships with happy parents than they would with sad parents. [/quote]

You don't know if OP will end up happier after a divorce.  She may never find another partner and in all likelihood her and her children's standard of living will decrease.

Children don't care about crap as much as they care about love and support. Its us grown ups that care about that stuff. If OP thinks she can be happier and love her kids better outside this marriage then all I'm saying is the kids will be better off then her being miserable and depressed through their entire childhood. I can't speak to the realities of being a divorced woman in your early 40s, but I can speak about being a child of divorce. If the parents put in the effort to be amicable, kids are better off with parents who are setting an example pursuing happiness than parents who wallow in an unhappy marriage for 20 years. [/quote]
