[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's how my stbxh cheating impacted my kid (and I was not fat or sexless with him): he stayed at 'office' until 2 am so couldn't even have dinner with kid or say goodnight, because of feeling bad about his lies turned into an alcoholic and got impatient and verbally abusive towards kid, because of alcohol took viagra on a daily basis and suffered of side effects with sinuses and headaches, became even more impatient and high strung with kid, frowned and spoilt upon each and every family vacation and spoilt it for kid, would not admit to cheating but get me engaged in reconciliation talks for hours to supposedly save family during which kid would be parked in front of tv for hours, re-established kid to sleep in our bed in the middle so he wouldn't be confronted with my sexual advances - now kid is 6yo, can't sleep alone and is ashamed and feels dumb ... 
This is the list of effects before cheating was discovered and cheater was removed from house. List goes on and doesn't get any better now, I can assure you. 
Just one quote from kid: I don't like Andy anymore. Because he married Jane. That means he's her husband. Husbands just leave and make everybody sad.[/quote]

Your ex sounds like my Dad. My Dad was a serial cheater, my Mom didn’t deserve the way he treated her, I was 8 when I found out about my Dad’s cheating. If the kids found out and it depends how the kids find out it can have serious consequences. My dad got his ap pregant while she was still married to her first husband, I hVe a half brother who was lied to all his life until he found out the dates of my parents divorce and his moms divorce, and his birthday date. Well by that time his mom was on husband number 3 and my Dad on wife number 4.

For those who cheat and have kids it’s more of a feeling of betrayal and lack of respect. I would of wished that my dad divorced my mom instead of making her suffer the way she did.

If you are unhappy divorce, seriously why be miserable in a failing marriage. Kids, can understand that, shire they will be hurt, but it’s better than finding out one parent is a liar. There’s a lot of work involved in cheating. Lie, covering your tracks etc. [/quote]
