Every post here has real merit. And I agree that each person has to do what's best for them, at the time and in their particular circumstance. Life 'tis hard; and marriage is harder. Pursuit of happiness is our civil right. No one should take that away from anyone! And IMO no person should have 2 put up with abuse, either physical or mental! If a gal is being tormented or abused, like Chatty said, "Kick him 2 the curb!!!"
