It's not that easy to just break up and leave especially when there's kids involved, there's alot of reasons why people cheat and stay together.

@spice1 The only reason to cheat is selfishness

@SW-User not always but you can believe what you want.
@spice1 Not reasons. Excuses. Using your children as an excuse to stay together is just foolish and weak. Kids do much better with happier parents under separate roofs than under the same, unloved, stressed, angry, depressed, etc.

@PoetryNEmotion that's your opinion but there are many other who would disagree, I would agree that if you can't stand each other and the arguments are affecting the kids then yes breaking up would be better, but as far as happy single parents living under separate roofs I think that only happens rarely or in movies.

@spice1 Yes, cheaters would disagree because they're justifying lying and cheating. Being unhappy isn't a reason to lie to someone and put their health at risk by keeping them out of the picture. The lie is because they're worried their spouse will exercise their rights and their choice to stay in the marriage or not, if they've got the full picture. To deny someone that, for your own sexual pleasure and ego, is pure unadulterated selfishness. Not only that it is often emotionally devastating for whoever is unlucky enough to become involved with a cheater, who often manipulates them as well. All justified because they're selfish liars who will harm and use others for their own ends.
@spice1 People who stay unhappy in unhappy unions are cowards mostly. People CAN be happy and be single living apart from their exes or their spouses. Do not try to bullshit me. I know this. I know many happy, single parents in life. You likely know nothing on this subject. Give me proof or shut your mouth. Thanks.

@PoetryNEmotion I know alot more than you cause obviously you have a closed mind and only look at one side preferably yours, just cause you went thru a bad experience don't mean that everyone's the same, there's always a reason why someone cheats on their spouse just like there's a reason why it happened to you if it did, what happens afterwards and how they deal with it is a whole different matter, just because you don't agree with it or it's not right for you doesn't mean it's the same for everyone.

@spice1 LOL no I'm judging you. You can only see one side. Yours. There is no justification, only cowardice and selfishness

It isn't an accident that just happens. It is a decision, and usually a planned one
@spice1 I see yoyr mouth is bitter and coarse. People make excuses. They stay for fear and for dead security. Do not speak to me rudely. Go away. Think of your tongue. Bye.
