Comments on: The Wife Knows http://momdadchat.com/?p=726 A place for a boring mom to unload her boring mom-dad tales Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:50:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Bunnies http://momdadchat.com/?p=726#comment-30424 Bunnies Mon, 01 Mar 2010 08:30:53 +0000 http://momdadchat.com/?p=726#comment-30424 I suppose it is complacency and fear of the unknown. In some cases, the man has badly battered the woman's self esteem, she just cant leave.. I never believe any woman who says she stay on in a loveless, cheating marriage for the kids. So, that the kids will not be affected, the kids will still have a father, etc.. But seriously, what do take kids for? They are not dumb and stupid like we want to think they are. Kids in such situation are always affected and it is in a very negative way. Kids can feel the unhappiness and most of the time, they are not be able to express their confusion and unhappiness. And the saddest part is that kids will be badly affected by this "stay on" arrangements. I think kids will do better if their parents in such situation sit them down and explain to them what happened and the solution. Yes, they may suffer a bit from a divorce initially but if steps are taken to cushion such impact, these kids will be able to overcome and move on with a position attitude towards marriage/relationship or opposite sex. I think woman have to realise that they are empowered to make decisions and must have the courage to do what is best for themselves and kids. Women must never hide and find excuses for their own weaknesses. They have to confront it and conquer it! I suppose it is complacency and fear of the unknown.

I tell myself it's for the sake of our two children but sometimes I think about it and wonder if it's worth it at all. I can survive on my own as I take care of myself and my children (and the lazy husband) all on my own month in month out for the last 5 years now. I know one day I'll get tired of it but I still want my children to be happy. I live with a cheating husband who brings in a total of about $5 a month and I still do not understand why am with him.
