[quote=Anonymous]As a child of divorce, I agree that a strong marriage provides stability for the kids, and staying in a marriage for the sake of the kids can give said kids an unhappy home and not so great model of how to be in relationships.   I also recognize my kids will grow up and it can't be all about them.

That said, I loved the pp comment about the spaghetti not being as good as Susan's.  If it came down to me being in a coma and DH making a life or death decision, I believe my mom would fight for me harder than any husband.   Not to say my husband doesn't love me, but wouldnt be surprised if spaghetti comparisons are happening within 3 years.  I would also want to make sure kids had inheritance stuff taking care of because it isn't uncommon that things end up passing to the new spouse's family rather than your kids.  So really you have to have balance.  You can't make it all about your husband to the point of excluding the kids nor can you make it all about your kids to the point of ignoring your husband.  Making your happiness all about any one person could possibly smother the person and put unhealthy pressure on the relationship while making someone feel as though they are a 2nd class citiizen can build resentment and be unhealthy in a different way.[/quote]
