@Ellisa: And I didn't say you said that. :) I can appreciate your POV on the matter. I, too, have known couples who should have separated decades ago, to the benefit of everybody in the vicinity.

I wasn't saying at all that OP should definitely divorce, and that the kids will be immediately be happy as a result of the divorce. I'm only saying in my experience, children, even very young children, understand more than you think, and are really affected by parents fighting or being unhappy all the time. I would have preferred being the child of divorced parents, tough though that would have been, than being stressed and anxious all the time through the majority of my childhood. | |

(I do happen to be on your side of the fence, BTW. I just wanted to point out that there's other opinions on this which are just as well deserved as ours. There's no Proof By Anecdote.) | |
