[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 592903, member: 1550"] We do make the choices to cheat though. I wonder if this is more common now. Women cheat as much as men these days. Are they even thinking of their kids? How can ANYONE bring kids along while seeing a lover during a marriage????? Sick, sick, sick. Very bad choices that can really harm the children. Sometimes I wonder, and I apply this also to myself, if divorce isn't very selfish considering that children rarely experience a better life afterward. I mean, I wanted out so I got out. My kids did suffer. I won't lie to myself about that. And they most certainly didn't like Hub #2 at first. I never brought my kids into my dating life. I didn't want them to see mommy's many relationships and men coming and going. I knew they'd take to him eventually, but it took them a while to get used to Mom and Other Man. If he had touched any of them, or bossed them around (he was not the father and had done nothing yet to earn their respect) or said nasty things to them, the marriage never would have taken place. Even though it was pretty smooth, all things considered, all three kids were affected, especially Julie who was only eight years old. [/QUOTE]
