Life is too short to stay in an unhappy marriage. It serves no one. Not the couple and certainly not the children.
Its time we stopped thinking or saying that staying married is more important than being happy.
Make getting married hard and getting divorced easy.
Well I agree with you there, however when you get married or in a relationship its not going to be peaches and cream all the time and one big honeymoon either.
I stayed in a shitty marriage with an abusive alcoholic for 25 years because I believed I should honor the commitment I had made. I never asked my spouse to change because I also believe I am the only person who I can change. I never asked for anything and never got anything - including sexual fidelity.
I never expected peaches and cream but I would not advise anyone to stay in a crappy marriage.
Well in your case you had every right to leave, I agree.
