In our situation....it was constant fighting....so it was definitely NOT good for our daughter.....we would have been better off divorced....but H was not into getting a divorce & would continually talk me out of it when I tried to push it.......

Come to find out from a comment he made when I finally did leave him...he said that ending up with a divorce would make him look like a failure......there's lot of different emotions that are wrapped up in a marriage relationship....not all about the marriage but incorrect concepts that also seem to exist.......

I wish I had been insistent enough to get out of the marriage long before I did....but I got out as soon as it was reasonably possible...also after my mother died.....she kept pushing me to stay also....for the last 13 years of marriage, I lived in my own room of the house & had nothing to do with my H other than the constant fighting which got worse not better.
