Should couples stay together for the kids...or is it just an excuse? ( Archived) (32)

Oct 28, 2017 4:00 PM CST Should couples stay together for the kids...or is it just an excuse?
I know women who stay with their cheating spouse because of the kids... I personally feel that's ignorant, and to some degree an excuse. Obviously opinions will be widespread and rightfully so. The kids will be affected either way. So NO...I feel it's wrong to stay in a unhealthy relationship for the kids. Fire away....

cool

I don't think there is any one easy answer to that.
It depends on each individual, each couple, and their unique circumstances.
Sometimes it may work out, and sometimes they just wait until the kids are through a particularlyvulnerable time in their lives.
As I say, it is a very individual choice to make.

If the couple and relationship has dissolved beyond repair and it affects the care and upbringing of the kids on a day to day basis then I think they should separate.
Anything that hampers the development and happiness of children to grow into secure adults shouldn't be allowed under the same roof.

But I also think if u can't resolve things with ur partner also that u should leave and try to find happiness somewhere else...life's to short to b unhappy....but I do feel if they do separate then both the mothr and father should take on equal raising of the kids...50/50 which isn't necessarily the case.

Hope this was intelligent enough of an answer for the Einsteins on here comfort handshake

I wouldn't marry a women I didn't find desirable!
But if push comes to shove, I'd probably walk from the relationship before it got to that stage!

Usually the only people who say that are young fellas looking to experience an older woman, or an older man looking for a much younger woman laugh

Actually it is against socio norms and usually its end with tragic case and disaster for some immature young couples. I have seen many bad examples in here. Esp i live in the country with the culture of close family system
and that kind of relationship is not common in here
Now days our modern societys mostly in metro city are bias to accept deviation of social behavior, and
there is definitely a major influence in the growth of the child's psycologycal

An excuse for what? The grit and determination to make a better life for your kids? I don't think so.

Ending the relationship and sitting amongst turd all alone. Joining CS is what you need the excuse for.

I say shaming the honourable thing encapsulates everything wrong with modern generations. The strength lies in walking away from something you desire or commiting to something through thick and thin, abandoning your responsiblities is the one you need an excuse for.
