I have to say this again… DO NOT stay married to someone you no longer love and use your kid/s as the reasoning.

Kids are smart. They are intuitive. They pick up on discord and anger.  They might not say anything. They might not do anything, but they can feel it.  They can sense it, and it hurts them!

Life is short. Too short to sacrifice your happiness and tether yourself to someone you do not love - kids or no kids.  Is that easy to say?  Yes, it is.  

But so is making the decision to do what is best for you and your children.  You don’t have to be married to be good parents!  You don’t need to settle for okay or not too bad.  You need to get out and live your life the best way you can, and sometimes that means making a hard decision when it comes to your marriage.

Staying married for the kids is an excuse.  It’s scary to get a divorce. It’s scary and hard to start over. But life isn’t easy, and putting the burden of an unhappy marriage on your kids is wrong… plain and simple.

Now, this is just my opinion, but I’ve been there before. So while this IS my opinion, it’s also born from my own experience.
