I think some parents stay together for the children. They don't want them to have to deal with them splitting up and some can't imagine a life without each other even if they're not happy with each other.

Lot of reasons: financial stuff, afraid of loneliness/being on your own, gulit, because they invested too much time into the relationship, some investment properties, hope, and maybe they don't believe in divorce.

Simply for the sake of the child(ren) or they could feel that the current issues aren't stronger than love. If they have survived other situations, then they may be able to find happiness once again, they both just have to be willing to put in the work needed.

Many things might be stopping them from having a divorce, but are You sure that they are unhappy? There might be only misunderstanding between them, but there might be still love.
As well, they might stay together to keep their family, children mostly, or some kind of financial status.

From experience, my mom and dad stayed together because they felt they could work things out and also did not want to hurt us. Eventually we caught on and they ended things, but they told us they wanted to keep us happy. To summarize, they felt it would be better to keep others happy and stay together, than to go through the process of divorce and make things difficult. Plus finances are a struggle.
