| On the other side of divorce are unhappy marriages. What causes people to stay in them? With Divorce rates so high today, even amoung the couples that have been married for years..why do some choose to stay in a lousy relationship rather than just call a truce and move on? I know alot of people will say because of the kids...So, lets throw this thought in, is it really better for the kids for their mom and dad to be together if all they ever here are them bickering and arguing. Is that showing them what a relationoship should be like? Okay.. your thoughts? |

| Most of it would be financial.......if women made equal pay or more then it wouldn't be an issue at all. |

| there are lots of reason why people stay in an unhappy marriage. especially if they have been married a long time. financial reasons and sometimes just fear of the unknown. |

| How about this.....the kids can pay for their own tuition by getting jobs. She can call the police next time he beats her. Then call a lawyer , take half of the assets and cut her losses. And just leave. Who gives a damn about what the family thinks......she needs to get out of there before she ends up 6 feet under. |

| The only reason people stay in unhappy marriages is because they are stupid! I know that because I??™ve been one of them for 10 years. I was not abused, it was just pointless and I kept on not finding the right moment. When you are beaten though I can??™t see how you can have this issue. Does it matter the size of your house when you are not happy in it? How many lives do people think they have? |

| I have just separated from my husband, what I feel is that as a woman and wife one has to exhaust every possibility to rectify the marriage. When one has done that and that an individual can stand and say "I have tried everything possible ie, counselling, social therapist, identifying whats wrong and changing it. Thats when you can say that this marriage clearly wont work! And children well, children would prefer to come from a brocken family than live day to day in one! I have been married for 7 years and have experienced physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and financial abuse from my husband dragged his backside to counsellors numerous amounts of times and have said no. I will no longer tolerate your behaviour in this family. And I am taking my power back. Its damn hard for my 3 kids but in years to come they will be fine! And I can now rebuild and heal me! |
