I think that once you bring kids into the world, you sign on to stay until those kids are out of the house.

Somehow our society has become selfish in how we look at the world. Everything is about how happy you are or how fulfilled you are in your relationship (I do not mean you to refer to the OP, just using you to refer to the generic you).

Dating relationships are about you, marriages are about us.

Now then, if there is true abuse going on, that is obviously a different situation. Also, both partners have to be on the same page. It won't work if you want to stay and she doesn't.

Myself, when I got married I knew I was signing on for life. No escape hatch, no ejector seats. That was 11 years ago.

Flame away.

Let's see what you say in 5-6 years.....
