Would you sacrifice your own happiness and freedom?

if i wasnt happy with him anymore bcs couldnt forgive what he did i would sure explain to my kids what happened and that me and their daddy were no longer in love. bcs if he cheated is bcs something was wrong to him. anyway i dont think my kids would be happy with parents that are together just bcs of them and not bcs they love each other. i think we must be happy thats why we are alive and for sure kids would understand ^^

Well, I already stayed in an unhappy marriage in the past, because I felt it was the best thing to do for my kids. But when we did eventually split up, my eldest daughter (who was 7 then) said she was pleased he had left, because we were always arguing and she didn't like it. So even if we think we are doing something for the kids, it may not be the best thing.

We don't have kids but I don't think I can raise a child well, if I am in denial myself I will be in denial, if his betrayal angers me and yet I pretend it doesn't happen just for the sake of it I once lived with a couple who were in this situation they had kids and the mother didn't work, and so she had to stay with the cheating husband guess what, the husband cheated on her again and again she became bitter and lashed out on her children especially the little girl believe it or not, this little girl actually grew up loving her dad more than her mom - and she still does because her dad did cheat, but if her mother chose to live separately the children wouldn't have seen as much arguments they would miss their father but it would be more peaceful and they would learn to stand up for the truth and fairness the mother said she stayed for the kids but as the girl grew up she knew that this is not true the court would grant her alimony and the mother had a family who at the time was close they would be willing to accept her and the kids until she can find work so it's not like she didn't have the choice to be independent
