Question Would you stay in unhappy marriage for the kids?
Can someone tell me why does some people stay married for the sake of the children? How do they see this being a benefit for the kids if they are not happy w/ each other?

Kyrisma,
It seems to work, or be the excuse for, lots of people who stay married. Ofcourse, there is alot of validity to keeping a family together. Divorces cause lots of problems for children.

However, for me personally, I am only going to have one life and refuse to live it in a loveless sexless marriage.

I guess each person has to decide whether staying or leaving would cause them the most fulfillment later in life.
