This question is for people who are in relationships and really dont care for their partner any longer but stay or stayed with them because of the children...

Yes, I did, and it was the biggest mistake of my life. After 15 years of marriage, when my kids were a little older, I left. My kids were ecstatic! They were GLAD we had split up. I couldn't believe it! They told me they were glad they weren't going to have to listen to us argue and fight anymore. If I would have known that, I would have left long before! So, staying because of the kids sake , isn't always the right thing to do!

i knew the day i said i do that i didnt. so like a fool i stayed, then had a son together, so then stayed for 14 more years and all it did was screw up my son more, if you are in a loveless marriage, get out before you destroy anything else./ your kids are resilient and will learn to cope with 2 parents in 2 homes. staying benefits no one- staying bc of a pension is a stupid reason if ever i heard one.

Sometimes people work harder to stay together when there are children. It's what is meant in the vows about "in good times and in bad". Children give people more of an incentive to work through the bad times.
Even good marriages go through "bad times".

Yes and we both admit it. Though we also realize that two people together everyday will not be "in love with each other" all the time, but can love each other. There has been many close calls to ending our marriage actually right now but we will make it through.

Tried and Tried but eventually it will get to the point where its better off letting your kids see you happy separated instead of miserable together. As your kids get older they will understand.

To some degree yes, that and not wanting to be divorced, again ... but it's hell on the kids, so why not stick it out?

Yes, if it wasn't for my son I probably would have left him a long time ago.
