Absolutely not. If you're not happy in that relationship anymore, staying around for the kids just ends up creating a bigger problem. If you're unhappy, you're just going to fight more and put the kids in the middle of it, and they know, they always know that something isn't right, even if you try your best to keep things quiet. It's better just to part ways.

Well, part of me wants to say yes you should stay together for the kids because divorce is really hard on kids. But then again, if you aren't happy and the kids can see that, it might give them the wrong ideas on what a marriage should be like. I think either way its going to be rough on your kids. What I would do is list the pros and cons of each situation and decide what would work out best for you. Maybe talk to your husband and see if you two can't work things out and rekindle the relationship.
