I didn't vote either, since the option of divorce is a very subjective one. It really depends on the situation and people involved. Personally, my parents were reckless in their arguments, with name calling, silent treatments, and rage, which were detrimental for my sister and I. Finally, my parents divorced when I was a teenager and it devastated me. But, what I didn't realize at the time was that my parent's toxic relationship is what did the most damage. To this very day, I still have issues with my upbringing.
My parent's relationship annihilated my sense of love and compassion with respect to relationships. I learned at a very young age a very sour and sadistic form of love.
So, here is my 2 cents. Is your relationship so incredibly toxic that it has potential to devour the innocence of your children, then divorce may be the only option. If the relationship is not so toxic, then evaluate your circumstances. Divorce should only be an option if the situation is too toxic.
