[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people who "stay for the children" are really fooling themselves. Kids pick up on a lot, and they will sense that you may be living without love, living with grief, anger, tension, lack of trust etc.  You are fooling no one.  Secondly, the most important thing you can do when evaluating a relationship is to look ONLY at the relationship.  That is, remove everything else that surrounds the relationship out of the equation (kids, finances etc). Look only at the quality of the relationship between those 2 people, and then make your decision.  [/quote]

At the base, we had a great love and a great friendship, great sex life too.  We saw a future together, a shared vision.  We look forward to empty nest and all the things we worked for together.  We are excited about it.  So, yes, stripping away everything else, we still want to be married and grow old together.  A stupid mistake with somebody that meant absolutely nothing isn’t going to change the course of our marriage/future/family.

Most people address all of that.  If I didn’t love my spouse and if I wasn’t happy and if I didn’t think they were sincere or had shown change, I’d not have stayed.  And, I reserve the right to change my mind if it ever happened again.  That would be it.[/quote]
