[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t view my husband as a “ profound moral obligation”, that’s crazy. He can stay or he can go,  I will be fine. I will also help my children through the process if needed. Marriage is so outdated in my opinion. Just because we decide something at 27, doesn’t mean it needs to carry over until I’m 90 or die. I have a realistic view, most marriages don’t work or aren’t very happy. I love my husband and have never cheated and I don’t think he has but I’m not naive enough to believe it’s not a possibility and I will certainly make sure I will be fine in the event our marriage doesn’t last.

You are actually naive. There is nothing realistic about thinking you will help your children through the process of feeling rejection from their father "if necessary". You sound like one of those women whose kids would feel the need to bury it all inside because mom said it's not a big deal that Dad is starting a new family. It is a big deal. Refusing to admit it does not make you stronger: it makes you sound ridiculous and emotionally stunted. In this case, since it hasn't happened to you or your children, you sound like someone who lacks empathy.
