[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids can tell if you two aren't happy.  Just end it now and move on.[/quote]

Nope. Not if you're not openly fighting. Kids are too self-centered to notice "quiet indifference".[/quote]

I agree with this.  Even had a discussion about it with my young teenager.  He was saying that he thinks DH and I get along better now and are happier because we don't fight like we did a few years ago.  Truth is, we don't care anymore.  But, in the kid's view, everything is fine.[/quote]

You all are teaching your kids what a "happy" marriage looks like - and modeling "we don't care anymore" behavior. That can't be healthy for a kid's understanding of a "happy" marriage. [/quote]

It is healthy for them to understand that adult romantic relationships are not the most important thing in the world.  And that wr don't just give up on our marriage and vows when the going gets tough.  We are happy enough and we made our decision considering all the tradeoffs as a whole.  I know enough miserable divorced people that I can't buy into that line of thinking.[/quote]

So - if you didn't have kid would you still be together?[/quote]
