What things do you do to make staying in an unhappy relationship/marriage more bearable?

[Healthkick9]

For those of us who choose to stay whatever the reason, how have you managed to make the situation work for you? How do you remain happy despite your unhappy relationship/marriage? Is it hobbies, focusing on the children, throwing yourself into work, having your own bedroom?

For me living separately has made a difficult relationship much much better😊

Separating was the only thing that worked but it took until the youngest was 7

Emotional detachment, communication about DCs primarily, physical detachment if possible - avoiding being physically close to my partner where possible, that kind of thing.

It's certainly helped by mental health, though separating would be better. Just not achievable for me anyway.

Sleeping in separate rooms
Throw myself into work and kids
See friend's

Its also very emotionally isolating as I don't tend to talk about it to people in RL

Not being unsympathetic but why wouldn't you separate and live the only life you have with a chance of being happier than you are atm?
Is it for financial reasons?

Children sense when their parents are unhappy so I would never stay because it causes upheaval to them.

Sleeping in separate rooms, cooking our own separate meals and eating them alone in different rooms of the house. Sitting in different rooms in the evening to watch TV. It’s really miserable but we can’t afford to divorce

I got divorced and live a very happy life that I know I wouldn't have done if I had stayed married, despite having a lot less money. I never get why people martyr themselves and stay in unhappy marriages.
