Think hard about this, 25 years is a long time to just give up on. Of course that all depends on why you want to do this. It is kind of a vague question, but for me, after 25 years, i wouldnt give it up unless there was a real problem there that cannot be resolved. Think long and hard. Good lucjk with your decision.

I suggest you ask this question again, but give more details. No one can give advice without knowing the background.
Bottom line, though - if something has happened to upset you or to make you doubt your partner, but it's only a one-off incident, then I'd try to work it out. Up till now you've had a good marriage, after all. However if you've been unhappy for years, or have discovered something fundamental about your partner that changes everything, then it makes more sense to walk out.
For instance, if your partner has been unfaithful, just once, then try to forgive and stay. But if you've just discovered that he/she has been cheating on you for years, you should dump him/her.
I know of some women who feel it's too late to walk out on their husband, because they are not sure they can support themselves, or because it's too late to meet someone new and they don't want to be alone in their old age. But just ask yourself, if I don't make the move, will I look back on my life when I'm old and grey, and wish that I'd given it a shot?

Yes if it could be worked out,you did not say what was done to cause the problem. but if you put 25 years into a marriage then you must love this person. Sat down and talk to them and ask what went wrong between the two of you.-----GOOD LUCK

Unless the differences are so great and very tangible, i would say yes you must as 25 years together is huge but fantastic! and in most countries a record you must have had something so maybe change things and rekindle what you had or try something new go on holiday or try harder as it maybe that 25year fire needs relighting
Go on do something to show us all how its done!!

of course, that's worth all the try's. you don't want to waste silver anniversary memories and bonding, adjustment and all those loving plus ups and down of married life. without those, you will not know your other half. those are part of growing old together, that will test your determination on holding tight for family life.
hold on and be strong, you reached 25, you have another 25 more to go...

Was married to my first wife 23 years and we fell out of love. She didn't want to save it and we divorced. Both of us re-married and both of us are happy but remain friends because of the children who are 25 and 16.

It depends.You have to weigh the good things vs. the bad things.If the good out weighs the bad,then try again.But if the bad out weighs the good,let it go.Time doesn't matter when it comes to happiness,whether or not your happy and satisfied does.

Well after being with each for 25 years, you all know each other pretty good & pretty bad.
Unless they have cheated on each other. That puts another twist to theirs lives, you can't be TRUSTED! The ultimate betrayal !
It's over.
