DP.. you're in denial. Ask family therapists what the cheating does to the kids.  Divorce is hard on the kids, but when it involves infidelity, it's even harder.

Your experience is anecdotal.  Look at the research.[/quote]

Is it any worse than divorce in general?  What do therapists say about kids who grow up in a household where the parents are mean, nasty, and resentful towards each other while they "stay together for the kids?"[/quote]
Divorce is hard, period. But infidelity adds an extra level of hurt and anger. Infidelity breaks a child's trust in the parent, more so than a child seeing the parents fight.[/quote]

That is BS. My parents had a terrible marriage. Terrible. Infidelity and even a divorce would have been far better than growing up in a toxic, resentful, unhappy, argumentative home “for the kids” or “for appearances” until I was finally grown up and could leave. [/quote]
As stated earlier... divorce is hard. Yes, when kids see parents fighting all the time, it is hurtful, but again, infidelity adds another dimension.

Anecdotes are just that.  Look at the research and go talk to a therapist.[/quote]
