Do you believe in divorce?

I don't like it, but often there's no option and if one won't let go, then that's controlling psychopath behavior often due to jealousy.

And, of course, having kids makes things worse because it's hard on them.

My best advice is to think seriously before marriage.
 
I believe that your own happiness matters too. And wrt kids... Someone said to me once, "kids can better come FROM a broken family than be IN a broken family", and that hit deep. It was something that set me on my way to choose myself too. The other "final motivation" was... Is it so much better for kids to have no mother at all or one they see part-time? Because that was where I was at that point. Trying to end things about every month, because I felt so bad in the situation.
 
No one believes in or wants a divorce, but things happen. Just like when dating. Married couples who try and "stay together for the kids" are actually doing more harm. Do you really think it's better for the kid if mommy and daddy hate each other and fight 24/7? All so "we gotta be together for our kid!" As hard as it is, divorce is always the best course of action for everyone if it is determined the relationship has failed.

Yeah, in my family there is at least one case where the guy admitted to me he wanted divorce. The reason is because the wife is overbearing and abusive. The excuse she probably has is the stress of managing a family with kids.
 
Might beat serving a life sentence for "the other" way out! ;)
 
Only if the partner is abusive.
