[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, your relationship with your spouse is none of your children's business.  Children practically never see their parents as individuals with needs.  They see the primarily as resources to be consumed.

If the marriage is low conflict and you can treat each other as positive roommates, I don't see why you should separate.  Parenting solo is hard and your lifestyle will tank. [/quote]

This post is spot on, especially the first paragraph.  And that's the reason low conflict is key because otherwise it affects the kids with all the fighting but otherwise kids don't notice and won't care.  And they shouldn't, they're kids and should be able to focus on themselves.[/quote]

I disagree to a point. Your KID doesn’t care. Your adult child and the way they negotiate future relationships does care. You are shaping the way they see partnerships, even subconsciously. Do you want them to be in unsatisfying relationships? Do you honestly want that for yourself?[/quote]
