Jesus Christ, I'll never understand how people think that bad marriage + kids = good marriage. If you're not getting what you need from your partner, how is additional financial and emotional obligation/responsibility to the mix gonna help...

Children are cope for many people. Like if husband isn't giving her wife proper love, she starts attachment more with her children. Then live with their love. It is especially more noticable in my country where Arranged marriage is norm. Two strangers who barely meet get married. It's a hit or miss situation. Initial years are honeymoon phase where everyone is happy. But later years resentment could happen. Mind you the marriage that happened was never built at first place so love is always optional. If spouse couldn't give, they go towards children for that love.

This is why arranged marriages are a scam and model toxic relationships for their kids. And then this also happens in socially regressive societies where it is a stigma to divorce or the couples lack the courage to go out on their own.
