[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am "staying for the kids"... but we don't fight. We have no problems co-parenting, running a house together. We love each other and treat each other with respect.

He had an affair, I tried to "work on the marriage" (which is a crock, since there was nothing wrong with the marriage). He had another affair, I was done.

It is better to divorce if you fight, it is worse to divorce if you don't fight. (I would link to the study but am in a hurry right now.) [/quote]

It's hard to believe there was nothing wrong with the marriage if he had two affairs. Yes, maybe he just wanted to get blown or whatever on the side, but somewhere there was some unhappiness. Affairs usually, I'd say almost always, result from some needs not being met. In that case, something is wrong with the marriage[/quote]

He was sexually molested as a child and acts out by self destructive sexual relationships. So no... it is not always the marriage.[/quote]

Did you know this before you got married?[/quote]
