My parents have been married for 23 years, and I can only hope that they'll get a divorce.
My parents love my brothers and I (we're 16, 19, and 21), and I know they always will, but they would be so much happier apart. They haven't even slept in the same room for years, and they barely even speak. They're just roommates with kids - it's quite sad. I love my parents to death, which is why I'm hoping that they'll someday split and find happiness again.
Kids are very perceptive. If you're as miserable as it seems you are, then your kids likely sense it, and it's not good for them. They're old enough to realize it's not their fault, and I think you might be helping them more than anything. You're almost done raising them now... please start thinking of yourself. You deserve to be happy, too.
Good luck, hun.
