I agree with what Schopenhauer said:
"They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice; that only a madman could be guilty of it; and other insipidities of the same kind; or else they make the nonsensical remark that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every mail has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person."

If you don't enjoy the movie, walk out - that's how I see it. I completely understand and hold nothing at all against those that check out on account of not enjoying their stay here.
It's selfish to demand someone stay around and continually endure pain and suffering just so that your emotional state, with regards to their existence, is kept satisfied.
That said, if someone has kids, I think suicide should be out of the question. If you condemn another to a life you yourself despise, you have a responsibility to ride it out for their sake.
