Even though divorce sux, sometimes it really is the healthiest option.

You're right Duke, I just wish there was a way to convey it to kids. Fact is, a "very close friend" of mine just hates being married, has nothing in common with his wife except the kids, and is more often than not more than simply disgusted with her, but revolted.
But there's the kids. He has 3. He loves them and they are far from being self-sufficient so he feels the strong parental urge to grin and bear it. What he is finding, though, interestingly enough, is that there are erosive and corrosive forces acting upon this urge and that his resolve to maintain the agony of his marriage is weakening by the day.
If his kids would, or could, express any opinion to support divorce, WHAT A RELIEF that would be!!!!
So my advise to your friend, Weiser, is to be supportive of the inevitable. It will no doubt be painful for her, but she will (hopefully) never know what a great measure of relief she'll bring to her parents with the gift of understanding.
