If you're not happy in a relationship, leave! You can hardly just go "I'll stay with him/her and be miserable for the rest of this life, then just not marry him/her in my next chance at life." This is the only life we get and it's too short to waste with people we are no longer happy with.
It is this same thinking that leads to so many divorces. Most people treat it like an ice cream store, just go in and try it and see what happens. Oh, and if I don't like it, then I will just return it.
One word, commitment. Think about the lesson you are teaching your children, if you have any.
I'd rather teach kids to let themselves be happy, and not to waste their lives.
