Is it better to stay and work on an unhappy marriage or to divorce?
That greatly varies between marriages.
A lot of people encourage trying to work it out, and that’s all fine and good, but sometimes there is no working it out and you don’t need to see a counselor to know that.
There are certainly many situations where someone has no need for a mediator to try and sew things back together for them. There are also times where there is no fixing the marriage because one or both parties have decided already they do not see the other as their partner anymore.
Mended Light actually has several videos about trying to work out marriages, and when things aren’t worth trying. I can’t remember the exact one I’m thinking of where Jono gave some specific examples and situations, but he often gives very good advice anyway so going through them is worth it.
