[quote=Anonymous]How does it jeopardize children?  An affair often irretrievably breaks a marriage that might otherwise have pulled through.  Part of being married is going through difficult times together.  The "better or worse" thing.  You don't step out, you step up.  You work on your problems, you work on your marriage.  Cheating means you are toying with your marriage, betraying the parent of your kids, and very likely condemning your marriage and dooming your children to being children of divorce, and all the baggage and disadvantages that comes with that.  Why would any of us, who work so hard to give our kids every possible advantage in life, risk endangering their family of origin?  We breastfeed, we make sure they eat their veggies, we give them educational toys, redshirt them, whatever.  Of course depriving them of an intact family is a terribly detrimental thing to do to your kids.

Kids aren't stupid.  Eventually they will figure it out unless the affair partners work very hard to avoid letting them find out.  For example, not immediately moving in together, not immediately getting pregnant/having a baby (my dad's AP gave birth 9 months to the day that he moved out.  It was his coworker.  Pretty obvious even to me as a kid what happened.[/quote]
