The first thing I would do is start a thread on the OT and ask a bunch of people I've never met for their advice.

People make mistakes. Cheating is not a mistake. So.. no, I would not.

This is the best answer. A mistake is grabbing the sugar instead of the salt, forgetting to carry the 1. Not deliberately letting another man put his penis in you.

Nah, just regurgitating what a marital expert said on NPR last week.

I wanted to make it work. She wouldn't leave the guy she cheated with alone. And yes, I got screwed with the custody part but that is how the system works. My kids know I am there for them. It actually is better because I have someone now that treats me better than my ex ever did.

Yea I honestly feel like I would be more pissed about a one night stand than I would be about here actually having a relationship. Either way she would be packing while being packed.

Right?! And the idea of another man fussing at your kids, telling them what to do, help raising them? Not happening. My son is 4, and he loses his mind if I leave him without giving him hugs and kisses. It breaks his heart. I can't expect him to understand why I can't see him every day. In my opinion, and of course people will disagree, marriage is about more than yourself once you have kids. Everything you do is for them. Am I happy all the time in my marriage? LOLNO. Are there times I wish I were single? YES. But, I push on every day because I have two kids that need me.


This can't be upvoted enough times. Under no circumstance would I want another man raising my daughter. I will put up with a lot of shite to make sure my child is protected and I can be home with her every day.

So just because someone makes a mistake every now and then, you all of a sudden can't trust them? The important thing is to know that they are trying to quit. Nobody is perfect.


Having an affair is not a "mistake." Your spouse going out and burglarizing someone's house is not a "mistake."

Exactly!

I love both of my kids but I'm not willing to be miserable for the next twelve years married to someone that I could never trust.

I'd never know, so I guess the answer is yes. If she told me then that would mean she DGAF what I do and I would definitely walk away...knowing that's what she wants me to do. My wife is steely eyed though, and would bring that shite to the grave. She would not be needy enough for me to have to forgive her so she could live with herself. She'd be just fine. We've been married 13 years and I love her to death, she wouldn't go out in a crying 'I'm sorry I did this' mess.

Yep.

It blows my mind when I hear about people that rarely see their children or want nothing to do with them.

I have. Several times. Siiiiiiiiiiiiike. Why would you? We suffer through monogamy together or GTFO.

there certainly needs to be a balance, but your kids will (or at least they shouldn't) never be "visitors". Once you have them, they will be the driving force for your life. It just happens.



Yeah, it's just natural.

Divorce ain't that big a deal. People keep talking about kids... people who resent each other and stay married do way more damage to kids than people who part ways.

I am never getting married again.

It sucks, and that's why I would probably choose to stay with my wife. I'm not rolling the dice that my kids will be okay. The statistics alone are enough for me to want to stay.

I think it happens for dads, the mom has an innate connection that just is. I sweat the details, I go out of my way for my son to get what he needs to excel...my wife's approach is more passion based, he'll be fine...knowing that she's just there for him. Doesn't work for me, it all matters...if I say me word implying she should have done something different w/ respect to him...yea, I don't. Anymore at least.

I would take her back if she was truly remorseful.
