[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do this. I set very strict boundaries. It happens only when I'm on business trips (I go to the same cities every year) and don't keep in touch with any of those people when I'm not there, other than a happy birthday text or the like.

Meanwhile I adjusted my work hours so I'm with the kids every afternoon, and we have lots of great time together on the weekends as well.

So who knows.. maybe I'm an awful person but I don't see it that way. We have great family time together, and my dalliances are within very strict boundaries.[/quote]
I'm torn, and this is why.  I see how this person is being a good parent on a day to day to basis.  And I don't think a person who lies to his spouse, even repeatedly, will necessarily not be trustworthy with their kids.  And I don't think you have to have role model behavior every moment, even when they are not around, to be a good parent.  However, if my husband cheated on me, he is risking blowing up our kids' lives all around because if I find out there will be big big trouble that will definitely impact the children.  How can taking that risk be good parenting?[/quote]

There is your answer.  Inherently, it is not.[/quote]
