[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A DH here. Getting back to the woman who hijacked the thread, if he really is calling her those names and treating her with such disrespect, it sounds as though he is no longer attracted to her and doesn't want to have sex with her anyway. [b]And my guess is that HE is staying together for the kids' sake, too. Once they are out of the house, he's gone. You would not believe how often that happens.[/b] A colleague at my work said after his parents dropped him off at college they drove back home and filed for divorce.[/quote]

It sucks because the child has not developed a social network at school, is in a new phase of their life, and wonders if their parent's entire marriage was a scam.  Thanks mom and dad for doing this to me.  You did no favors.[/quote]

They did what they thought was best for you and presumably acted in good faith at least towards you. I assume you don't use it as an excuse for stupid/asshole behavior in the here and now.[/quote]

NP here.  I think the point of posts like these is to alert parents who may be "staying together for the kids" (as my parents did), that you may not realize the extent to which your relationship (or lack thereof) affects your kids.

If you truly operate as BFFs who do not introduce bitterness, toxicity, resentment, or betrayal based on your lack of sex or other issues; and you model a healthy, loving relationship; and you stay together until the kids are gone, more power to you.  I just think most folks aren't capable of that, and the kids suffer the same as or worse than the children of divorce.

And to be clear, I hope I don't engage in stupid/asshole behavior too often, but when I do, I don't blame my parents.   :wink:   [/quote]
