I force no one to stay married to me, or will try to talk them into staying, I am a grown up can take care of myself and I either want the *Right* relationship or none at all...

That is fine, as long as you realize that you (both) are indeed putting your desires over what would be best for you children if you had any. I never said you couldn't divorce for selfish reasons, just that when it comes to kids, the only reasons that are justifiable as far as I am concerned are abuse or neglect. It is difficult in todays world to find anyone who understands that there are things bigger than themselves... so folks use selfish reasons for all sorts of things.. I know its not going to stop just because its wrong and damaging.

I know this much, should my wife try to pull one of those "I don't love you anymore" or "we've grown apart" type of divorces on me, will be a cold day that I grant it, as long as my child is still at home. I will not willingly subject my child to what I and my siblings had to go through. If that means we have to put on appearances until he is off to college so be it. If it isn't abuse or neglect, we can get through it, at least until he's on his own.
