[b]Cheating has ZERO to do with the kids.[/b] [/quote]

What horseshit. You are so, incredibly wrong. OP asks about the bad things that happen when you cheat, people respond that the impact on the kids is devastating, and you say that cheating has zero to do with the kids?

Don't go out of your way to tell them? Fine. But they are still harmed when the marriage is damaged. They're harmed further still when they discover, one way or another, why their family life was damaged. Nobody told me that my dad was sleeping with the neighbor lady when I was 2. But, I grew up and did the fucking math, and got angry. Got even angrier at my Dad when I had kids of my own. [/quote]

NP here, this is kind of an immature stance though. sure some people are just cheaters, but for others things like this don't just happen- both marriage partners contribute to it. What if a woman didn't have sex with her husband for two years before he cheated- is he the only one who is wrong there? 
Young children never need all of the details on what went wrong with adult relationships- because they will not have enough perspective on things until they are adults, and sadly maybe not even then.

There is no excuse for cheating.  Wife not having sex with you?  Get counseling.  That doesn't work? Get a divorce.  If you aren't happy with the marriage - wo/man up and get out.[/quote]
This is a very naive, black-and-white, childish way to see things.  Life can throw a myriad of scenarios at you that don't fit into it.  The fact of the matter is that you can be reasonably happy in your marriage while getting your sexual needs met somewhere.  No person can be all things to another. [/quote]

Sounds very reasonable.  If you put it this way to your spouse, and your spouse is on board, I'm all for it.  But if you're forcing someone you love (in theory) to live a lie, then you're a selfish dick.[/quote]
