Staying together for the kids is a much worse option.

I suppose that would be the thought of someone without kids

Depends. Theres a lot of things that are easier when both parents are in the same house, especially with young children. If splitting leads to one parent not really being involved any more than thats worse. But if staying is a toxic household full of screaming then no kid should be forced to grow up around that.

Funny, Ive had four psychologists all tell me that staying together in an unhealthy relationship for the kids is indeed a worse idea than separating.

Yeah, it's better to make the kids witness you scream and fight.

That couldn't possibly have a negative impact.

As in you wouldnt have been born?
You were conceived after your parents wanted to separate but decided not to?

Thats the thing with statistics. Im sure there are cases where parents can make it work. But the experts wouldnt advise against it if it wasnt known to be a bad idea more often than not.

Not even get along, just act civil and not be an ass to each other. Can't be that hard.

If 50% of marriages end in divorce, maybe people need to be getting married less and having fewer children; not staying with someone who makes them miserable because they happened to have kids

As a child who grew up with two parents who despised each other, and stayed together because of their kids, I assure you: it's not actually better to live with two people who actively hate each other

They're separated now and both significantly happier, and I'd have been just fine without having to wonder if tonight was the night one of them would kill the other or themselves when I went to sleep

Sure, kids being surrounded by 2 adults who hate each other and fight all the time is healthy.

As one might expect, this was not true equally. Women murdering their husbands went down but men murdering their wives did not, or at least not nearly to the same extent. It depends on which studies and methodologies used but the homicide rate for husbands went down 20-30% while the murder rate for wives was between statistical insignificant change to 10%.

Suicide rates did substantially decline for women but not for men.

Having seen a small spattering of 25 divorce appeals where I had the luxury of seeing:
  1. Husband and wife being absolute shitstains to each other
  2. One, the other, or both being absolute shitstains to the kids as a result of #1
  3. The children testifying when neither were around telling all for how shitty H and/or W are,
I'm disinclined to think "stay together for the kids" is ideal.

Can't really comment on the child therapist side of things, so I won't.

I was relieved when my parents got divorced. I remember mom staying home from work and told us to pack our stuff. It was exciting.

The childish shit that went down after sucked but I was glad to not hear all that yelling every night.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I agree that it doesn't work for everybody. My parents divorced after my 18th birthday so I think they might've stayed married for my sake. If they were unhappy they did a pretty good job of hiding it though. They're on good terms now though.
