If you mean divorce, then yes it is worth staying since divorce will really affect your kids and your kid's relationships in the future.

Your happiness shines through your children. You have a duty to protect them. This doesn't always mean that two parents should stay together because more often than not kids see through the facade in the long run. Raising kids is challenging enough without the added stress of pretending mummy & daddy are happy together. The best thing you can do is be happy. That's all you want for your kids isn't it? The amount of time you have been together doesn't mean anything its the right now & the future that matters.

Depends...are you being ugly to each other in fron of the children? Do you demean each other in front of the kids? Or do you have a decent relationship, but the fireworks aren't there? It means ALOT to children to have both parents in the home, and even if you aren't having a loving relationship with your spouse, just agree to both be there for the kids untill they leave the home, then, if you want, break up. Remember, death do you part means exactly that. Get counciling.

That greatly depends on how you and your husband interact with each other. If its completely loveless and its apparent to the children, you are doing them a complete disservice. They learn about healthy relationships from their parents first and foremost. Now if you and your husband have a great friendship and get along well, despite the fact that he doesn't love you, it may work. Kids will know you are miserable though and it may be best for everyone to just move on.

you've been with him for 15 years already!!! its a long time and is there really such a big fight/argument that you guys need to have a divorce? He's been with you for 15 years already..he must love you!! but if you guys really want to have separate lives then you must take your children into account...they usually become more badly behaved if their parents have had a divorce. also arguing over this in frount of your children gives them a bad influence. Good luck.

stay together for the sake of the kids, don't let them go through their parents getting divorced, have some time apart from one another, and look back and appreciate everything u've got, and try ur best to make things work, theres always hope. don't turn into another divorce statistic

no its not worth it. you're not happy, your kids will see that you tried to stick it out. they may not understand now, but they will when they get older. People stay in stupid marriages everyday and are so depressed they end up killing themselves,and whose to say he's not planning on leaving you? Leave first so you'll have some dignity, from getting dumped by some body who doesn't love you and is more than likely cheating.

Talk to him - if you both feel there is nothing worth saving call it quits. If you think there may be something there try a break away together without the kids. Good luck

In the long run it is your happiness that matters. If you work at it your kids will be okay. You and your husband still love them. I wish you all the luck!

no it is not worth it if you dont love him or he dont love you. kids will notice that you are not happy and it may rub off on them. if you are not happy get out of the marrige and be happy then your kids will be happy because you are happy. kids can see these things and will start asking questions.
