Never stay together for the kids only, there are so many better solutions.
Kids don't need fighting parents. They need a peaceful, loving home in order to grow up strong in mind.
Parents who stay together for the kids only will unconsciously let the kids feel, that they sacrificed their happiness for them.

Staying together for the kids is never the answer. End the relationship before it does any damage to the children. When you say hope for the best - what do you mean? You will have to work to support the children if you are a woman, or if you are a man. Getting away from each other means standing up to responsibility instead of hiding behind the kids and eventually blaming them for ruining your life.

I would say, stay together as long as you can. Stay civil and not argue in the front of the children. I come from a broken family and it was nothing fun. Having to choose over your parents is very hard. I know its not easy even when your older but give your child a good head start in life. I couldn't see taking my child away from her father everyday and only seeing him on the weekend. It would hurt me so much to do that. I think I would just stick it out till she was older to understand.

Staying together for the kids would be a mistake and only hurt the kids in the long run.

Well it all depends: how old are the kids? are they at an understanding age to discuss yr. problems. have you tried going to a marriage counselor and seeking final help, before destroying the lives of your children. Sometimes the reason should not be the children for staying together if your lives are miserable. Before the final decision go and seek help. good luck and g-d bless.

The worst thing you can do to kids is to raise them in a miserable marriage. If there is fighting or abuse your kids will grow up thinking that that is normal and will follow the same pattern when they are adults. Get out now and give them a peaceful childhood.

Generally, stay together - have a look at the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University - Barbara Norton Whitehead.

End it. Children do better with one happy parent and seeing the other parent for visits than living with two miserable ones that are always preoccupied with loathing each other.
