Children won’t learn to form happy relationships if they only witness their parents fighting.

Regarding staying for the children, that is one of the worst things you can do. Children pick up on everything. Especially if you have created a volatile environment where you are fighting all the time and are hostile toward each other.
You are teaching them that this is what a normal relationship is and are not doing them any favors. It is better to split up and live separate lives so they can see happy parents. Granted it will be an adjustment, but it will be better in the long run. Thanks for sharing.

I tend to agree with you but at the same time I have to wonder why not pull your lives together for the kids? Abuse, maybe adultery, yeah, I can see why it would be a bad idea to stay together but other issues, many can be resolved, yes?
