The article discusses the societal and familial pressures that prevent individuals from leaving unhappy relationships, suggesting that the narrative surrounding separation as a failure can be deeply ingrained from childhood. It posits that while separation may temporarily destabilize children, children can thrive in environments where their parents are happier apart than together. Maintaining an unloving relationship out of fear of harming children or financial instability can often lead to more harm than good, highlighting the importance of prioritizing quality of life over societal expectations.
Children may thrive after separation if handled correctly; a toxic household can be more detrimental than living apart with happier parents.
Ending a relationship doesn't equate to failure; societal messages weigh heavily on decisions to stay in unhappy unions, impacting overall wellbeing.
