28 months mariage and 23 month old kid plus the 9 month pregnancy...so all of this happened pretty fast...really poorly tought out by both parties...they were clearly not made for each other

never stay engaged for a kid..if you do so you will be unhappy and it will affect your whole life thus affecting your kid in the end

take your time when you meet someone get to know the person it's easy to stop a relation but when a kid is involved it's pretty different

Thanks for all of the well thought our comments you've been leaving!

Staying married for ANY reason other than the fact that you WANT to be married is always a mistake. In fact, because you WANT to do something is the only reason you should ever do anything. :)

Our children did say they still want to be as married adults when they grow up but maybe have a longer engagement time to make their choices sure. Talk about children learning how relationships work through their experiences at home. My wife have been demanding a divorce during our entire 18 yrs together. I'd reply sweetly "okay, but what about my company sponsered health, dental and eye benefits for the whole family if you want me to leave?" She'd change her mind, until next time. 8 ^ )

My parents don't sleep in the same room or show affection --- doesn't mean I want a marriage like theirs but it works for them. They been married over 30 years, and I don't see 'em ever splitting up. I think it's insulting you'd call them "dysfunctional"

I'm not happy is a cop out for having an affair and a childish act..i wanna say...Boohoo what do you want me to do cry...be a man stand your ground and fight for your family...What woman can have an affair with a married man with children and yet claim to so called love him...she might love the money...his looks or who knows what...to love him is to send him home to his family!

[bornblond9gb]

When your husband is having an affair and the wife simply steps aside and leaves she just makes it ever so easy for the other woman to step in and take your life away from you and the kids.

As having been divorced years back after my husband cheated i would have to say no you don't just stay married for the kids but you most definitely try endlessly for the kids sake to save the marriage.

[mvp3bear]

Does a woman stay married for the kids? If the husband knows she is in love with someone else and he threatens to tell the kids unless she stays with him.

[Samihobbit]

Ask them to splitt up before the kid grows up and get close to the dad
