Ya, is this the kind of relationship you want you child to have. Children look to their parents to model appropriate relationships. Marry someone, then sleaze around. Creep. If you think your child will not sense whats going on, youre mistaken. I was a child of an adulterous father. I knew he was a cheater. I cheered when my parents finally divorced. You are NOT doing your kid any favors. Very much the contrary.
....for the sake of the kids my @ss. Ive always hated that ridiculous excuse.

I would MUCH rather be alone, or lonely, than be a sleazebag.

it sounds like my situation, im a married guy, our relationship is destroyed, ive tried everything possible to make it work and then some. we have a young daughter and thats the only reason i stick around because i love my child. i need to be there and provide for her. im seeing someone else on here, im open and honest with her, i dont know where its going but for the time being weve found a little comfort and company in each other. life is so short to waste, better to share what you have than to be lonely. lonely is absolutely devistating, believe me.

I was miserable in my marriage and I stayed for my children. My son saw my ex bully me so he mimicked his dad and bullied others. He thought that was the right way to treat others. We divorced. Yes, at first it was hard on the kids, but now they see that it is better that we are not married. We all had to go through counseling, but at least now my kids know how to treat others and how to be treated. It usually ends up hurting the kids more if it is an unhealthy marriage. You cannot truly love someone that is already married. True love is unconditional. This means putting all temptations aside and selfishness and focus on the commitment already at hand. Agape love should not be confused with lust.
