Don't know - that's a tough one. Sucks.

You're the first person I have seen say that, usually it's the "staying is worse for the kids". I'll argue it is not if you can find a way to reduce the open arguing.
Once you leave the house, odds are she turns the ids slowly against you and/or a new guy arrives and now he is dad. With boys, you have the added concern of the emasculation they are undergoing and if the new guy is woke, you're stuck with his limp wristed parenting and you're the bad guy for pushing your kids a bit.
Stay. Keep the peace, plan an exit but stay.
