Summary
The way a married couple is more likely to get a divorce if they spend a great deal of time with couples in troubled marriages or divorced people, kids who grow up in households with their parents in a bad marriage end up divorcing when they get married.
Constance Gager of of Montclair State University has concluded that while couples might think of it as a huge sacrifice and suffer for years, when they choose to stay together for the sake of kids but hate each other every day, thus, creating a very toxic environment in the house, do not help anyone.
If your marriage is completely broken and there is no absolutely no hope for resolution, it is best to end it and let the kids enjoy quality time with each parent. If you are not together by force, you are more likely to be civil to each other and still create high quality family memories for them.

Hey Eric, thanks for the cmmneot. I actually had another similar experience yesterday. I did a small favor for a female friend’s brother, and she offered to treat me to a meal in return. I’ve never hung out with her alone, usually her and her boyfriend (whom I’m also friends with), but when they’re together, I don’t usually hear her speak English, and I was looking for that opportunity . . . but we ending up hanging out together again. But I was surprised that she was more willing to speak English this time around him, which was cool.But yeah, that dynamic seems to be in full effect.
