[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So in effect, you're saying adulterers should be punished by wielding their children like pawns, and while you're at it, their innocent children should be punished, too. [/quote]

The dad in this case already punished his kids and changed their lives forever. [/quote]

As accurate as you'd like that to be, dad did nothing to his kids. Dad stepped out on his marriage, which I know is hard for DCUM to believe, but that's separate from his kids. He [b]failed in keeping vows to the mother of his children, [/b]yes, but has not directly failed his children.[/quote]

So he [b]indirectly[/b] failed his children, by failing to keep his vows to their mom.

The result is the same: their lives are torn up.

This is a distinction without a difference.

So anyone not directly tending to their marriage indirectly fails their children. Half the petty, unfounded, rage on this board actually more directly impacts the children, but arguably indirectly fails them. So does that get to count too? [/quote]

Yep. In general, work on your marriage directly. That's common sense even if there are no kids. Calling it "indirect" because you're "failing to keep your vows" is a cop-out and red herring for people who are actually doing direct harm by cutting and leaving without trying to work things out.

This has to be spelled out for you?[/quote]
