<human>: My wife and I have been fighting a lot lately, and I'm tired. Our biggest problem is that we have patterns where we don't talk to each other, and don't seem to be able to talk productively about conflicts.

I'm tired of all of it and just want to split up.

But we have two kids (10 & 12) and I don't want them to have to go through a divorce. I can't stand the thought of them living in a split up family, going back and forth. It breaks my heart.

My alternative is to stay with my wife, but that just fills me with dread. I want the relationship to be over, and I don't want to see a counselor or work it out with her.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
