It sounds that its a lot easier to just walk out. How much more would one screw up ones children by just walking out versus dragging them through the experience of parents divorcing?
Divorce is at first a difficult adjustment for everyone...especially the kids. But it does get better. You find a new normal and things eventually settle down. You have to be prepared for at least 2 years (maybe more) of really tough times. Legal bills, lawyer visits, court dates, negotiations, custody/access struggles, etc.
Personally, its been very worth it to me but you'll hear from a lot of bitter, angry people on this forum who have trouble disconnecting emotionally from their ex's and will never really recover from divorce. You have to figure out the price you're willing to pay...both to stay in a crappy, loveless marriage or to give yourself a chance at another life.
