Does anyone believe in staying together for the kids?

Ok , I'm real new to this site, so hello to everyone. My highschool sweetheart and love of my life cheated on me about 3 months ago, he did it with the same girl a few times. Now I had a really messed up child hood so I want everything for my son, as all of us parents do. I still love my fiance but I feel like I will never trust him again. I dont really want to be in a relationship with someone I can't trust. But I want more than that for my son to have both parents together in his home. What do you all think?

I don't believe it staying together for the kids, no. Studies show that children suffer more when there is tension between the parents, and that children grow up more stable in a happy one parent household than in a tension filled two parent household.
If you can't be with your partner anymore, for whatever reason, then you shouldn't be with them. Not just because of your child, but for yourself as well. Why should you be deprived of a full life, full of love, laughter and all that goes with it? You'd still have a chance to find that. And then your child would grow up in a happy atmosphere instead of one filled with mistrust and complication.

I've heard those same things. I make sure that we act the way we should in front of my son, he is 2 and my everything. I think it's my childhood that makes me almost obssess with his being perfect. Don't get me wrong, I'm not psycho or anything. I just always invisioned him visiting home with his dad and I there together when he's all grown up and we're like 90. lol. I do still love his father. I just can't seem to forgive him.
