Should I divorce my husband

I've been with my husband for a total of 12 years. We started dating when I was 18 years old and we've been married for 5 years. He started physically and emotionally abusing me 2 years into our dating relationship and I knew it was wrong but I stayed and ended up marrying him anyway b/c I thought that he would change or that I could change him. When we were dating he was very violent with me and over the years, he hasn't been as violent. He still screams down my ear if he's angry to the point where I will cower over into a ball. During our last fight, he punched my arm, choked me and repeatedly punched my butt (I think he chose to punch me in my butt so that it didn't seem as wrong). I, again, told him that I want a divorce and am trying to go through with it. It's really hard for me b/c we're still living in the same house together and we have 2 sons together (ages 2 and 5). I have stuck to my decision for the past 3 weeks to get the divorce and he knows that I am going to go through with it. He's been trying to get me to stay and is begging for my forgiveness and to give our relationship another try for us and for our family. I don't want to have a broken family but at the same time, he has been so violent with me in front of the children. I don't want them to be physically abusive to anyone ever. He seems to really be sorry for what he did. I know that it is obvious that I need to leave him but I'm having such a hard time. It's so much easier to just forgive him and get one with our lives. Should I give in? We have a large home in a wonderful neighborhood, nice cars and all I've ever wanted is to have a family. Do you think he will ever change? I don't know what to do. I'm ashamed of what he's done to me and it's hard for me to be completely open with anyone about what he's done to me.
