Why do some couples who are not happy wait until the children are grown to split?

It seems to me like they waste the good years of life being stuck in unhappy marriage!

They're thinking of the children being happy rather than themselves ...

@ozgirl512 but the children experience cold feeling in the home.

@SaintAdelaide I think that varies with the situation .. it's not the best environment certainly, but probably often better than the alternative ... I'm guessing

@ozgirl512 I go back and forth with this thought often

@Letsjustbreathe I agree... Each case is different... As long as no one is throwing plates round the kitchen or sporing black eyes it may not be so bad compared to the financial hardships that women often have to endure when raising kids themselves
