So the underlying problem here is really that your marriage/relationship is dysfunctional. It's not really about the money.
You know what you gotta do, for the benefit of both parties: split.

This doesn't apply to OP obviously, but: romantic reasons. Some people cherish the symbolism of marriage. Human decision-making is rarely purely rational. We're just not wired like that.

That, too. In my country, there are alternatives to marriage that result in virtually the same legal and fiscal status, but it turns out that marriage is overall...cheaper. So even for the rationally inclined among is, it may make sense.
