[quote=Anonymous]I don't even know what to ask, but hopefully this anonymous forum will at least she d some light on my predicament from other perspectives. Have any DWs/DHs said/heard the whole "if it weren't for the kids, I would be gone" statement? What happened? Did anything change?

Here's our situation: Been together for 8  years, married had babies (2) 7 months ago. We've argued from time to time, more than I'd like; before we got married, each of decided to end the relationship a couple of times...and we ended up getting back together.  Though outside of the arguments, we have gotten along very well, we both are aware that we don't have a lot in common, and probably aren't the best match. As a result, we argue; about political issues, music, lifestyles, etc.  So we've stopped talking much about topics on which we disagree. But both of us have felt that we love each other, and overall enjoy each other's company, so we're better off together.

Until...During the course of an argument today, DH said that if it weren't for the kids, he would be ending our relationship and leaving. He says there is too much drama (our arguments) and he has had enough. But for the kids, he will hang in there.

Honestly, I don't know what he meant by this. I feel like it's some kind of threat that he will leave, but I don't get it...and I don't really deal in threats to do xyz; I just go for it. Does that mean he will just stay married to me for appearances' sake, since we have kids? But behind doors he will just want to be roommates?  I asked him what he meant, and he didn't explain. He just wanted me to know that he's staying because of the kids.

And of course, he added that he loves me...he would just be ending things if it weren't for the babies. Huh??? [/quote]
