> I wonder what kind of personal fuck-ups end with a partner hating the other so much as to want to kill them, but yet end in a situation where that's preferable to a divorce.

At a guess, that last lies closest to hand. The usual toxic "Gotta stay together for the kids!" mindset, and if that's not possible, culminating in it somehow being "better" (or "more honourable", perhaps?) to be a single widowed mother than a single divorced mother.
