Whatever you're feeling now, you'd probably feel worse when you're in a poorer financial situation post-divorce. At this age, why not just stay married?

If you are not scared of the financial impact, then I would say yes. You don't want to live the rest of your life (and there's still a lot of it) miserable each day.
I just divorced at 52. I have no problem being by myself and really have no desire for another "significant other." Frankly, I was done with the constant disrespect, the fighting, the having to ask the SO for their input on virtually everything. No thank you anymore. Got my $500K of assets and off I went. Very happy indeed.
Per Fidelity, you probably should have about 7x your salary in savings at your age. So your 500k supports about a 70k HHI lifestyle
