If a person is no longer happy with the other person in a marriage should they divorce or just stay in the marriage regardless?

Stay married regardless.

Divorce.

Othe.

"being happy" is "not being happy" is sometimes a conditional situation and feeling, meaning, it can change if certain circumstances around it do change as well, or are adjusted

if someone is no longer happy, and it is also unhappy on top of that (yeah, there might be a middle point stuck in between) then they should try to fix that situation and really really work on that situation, now if the other person in the equation is not even interested, then why stay with someone who doesn't want the very best for you and themselves too, to me that's just pointless and a separation would be best

unhappiness should never be anybody's goal

It would depend on the context of the situation. If one partner cheated they should separate. If one or both of them has been lazy and were not putting the proper effort to maintain the relationship then they should both work on communicating and improving for each other.

STAY. If you don't want that kind of commitment then don't ever get married. Marriage is when you never leave. If it isn't that to you then why would you even get married? If you're not prepared to take that risk then don't ever get married. There is nothing wrong with that.

If caught in a bear trap in the woods and bleeding out... do you stay or hit the release feature?

this is a tough one because the ideal answer would be to leave and find someone who makes you happy. But the ideal person is not always available immediately and a new partner can potentially be even worse, sometimes you just don't know it up front.

So if you're lonely and horny (like me) sometimes its the devil you know thats better than the devil you don't...

I think you should see if you want to try and work it out maybe see a therapist but if you don't and they don't then end it no reason to suffer my parents were miserable in there marriage after 26 year and they divorced now they are both remarried and are so happy I couldn't imagine them being together anymore and being without their new spouses

I think you should try and make the marriage work.. For better or for worse.. Just. being unhappy is not a good reason to divorce because it is very well conditional.. Unless either party is unhappy for a legit reason.

My brother's ex wife filed for divorce last year. She was unhappy in the marriage and it was better for my brother. She tried to make the marriage work but in the end she is the one who made the choice.

Depends on why they're not happy. Is there abuse? Cheating?

[Gwendoline]

I'm Catholic so married for life.
