Easy to make a point that when you dont see your kids everyday though.
I am not understanding this comment. I show no disrespect towards you nor towards your childrens mother as your private matters are your own. however you come here and you ask advice therefore I am going to give it and I am sorry if I hurt or seem to disrespect either one of you. However:
You 2 have some wonderful beautiful boys together, that is great. Would you rather raise them as functioning children not living in a home built around cheaters, liars, anger, fights, and what not??? How do you think that this will impact their futures? Will they grow to know how to treat a woman correctly or how to view their own mother without seeing her through their fathers eyes??? How about you, how will they see you, will you be the bad angry daddy who is always fighting with mommy, cannot trust mommy etc?
Look you two have soooo or shall I say TOO much shit to work through. Many many years of looking past things through therapy and communication. You cannot just wake up and be a happy family. Unfortunitaly it does not work that way.
Your children will benefit nothing if you are only building a marriage and a family on their behalf. That is a piss poor excuse, just like the women that get abused and stay because of the kids, pussy foot shit....That will only harm the children more than help.
Both of you need to sit and discuss this, get some professional help from an outsider that knows neither one of you. And Do not do this for the kids...Do not do this if you cannot trust one another, if you cannot talk to one another, and if you cannot 100% forgive one another. And damn it DO not lie to yourselves because you have children. Best to leave things well enough alone than to try, fail, and put your children through all of this mess once again.
Daisy- Woot, If you need to talk that is cool, we can exchange pm's. I have been with my husband for 11 years, obviously it has not all been pretty and I am not one to sugar coat...We all make mistakes. No marriage is perfect, no person is perfect. remember that!
