Well. personally i have never been and i have never known a couple been together for the shake of the children.The question here is this.Is it better for the shake of the children to pretent that you are a good actor by staying together,and to have to answer strange questions to your chirdren,like "why you and mom don't sleep on the same bed",and finaly having the illusion as parents,that adopting this method,you did the right thing,while the children when they grow up,will come up with a question "why you people pretented that we were all happy,while the truth is the opposite"".

The children know,or i would rather say suspect,and most important they feel the vibes from their parents in the house, besides is beter IMO to terminate a bad relationship,than to be IN an unbearable one.-
What the children will think about their parents,knowing that they sleeping with somebody else,apart from their mother and father??? Its a good example to do the same,as living together or married adults.
In actual fact, you are looking for 2 woman,1 committed to you,and a 2nd one as a house maid.The one am sure you will find on CS, the other one you have to hire.-
I will agree that roles have changed,though the majority of women liked to be treated with courtesy,and personally i like to "pay for the first date"even knowing am not going to see the woman again.Old habits( don't ) die hard am afraid.-
I know from some women responses,like for example " not very often men open the door for me",therefor you must be a lucky woman,to have met gentlemen towards you.-
I've never read how the Mayans came to this prediction of 2012 is the end of the world,but would have liked to know,how they have based their reasoning.
