:hunf: How do you really know what is better? It is better for everyone to stay miserable and married for the next 16 years because of school? Suppose your child graduates, has a wonderful career, and meets their future spouse. Now future spouse has to work with disarmingthe emotionally stunted child that never observed authentic intimacy, so that child will never be an adult able to give what you sacrificed in your marriage to their children? They don't have intimacy and explode in response to it, isolating from loved ones. [/quote]

This is a really bizarre view of how humans work and love works. Your kids just need you to provide stability and steadiness so they can develop themselves, they don't need you to provide an example of "authentic intimacy" by running around dating other people in your search for love. I don't think kids really give a shit how you get along with their two parents get along as long as its not creating fighting or disruption in the house. They do very much care about having to deal with step-parents all of a sudden, and they are definitely not thrilled to see one of their parents suddenly experiencing "authentic intimacy" with a strange new person.[/quote]
