An unhappy marriage makes for unhappy kids; trust me, I would know.
A cheating dad followed by a nastier divorce makes for unhappy and very very BITTER kids... trust me, I would know.
I'm dealing with the fallout of my stepfather cheating on my mother, and the subsequent divorce. My brother and sister (both from the stepfather and mother's marriage) are both going to need therapy because of it.
Keeping a family together under less than perfect circumstances is perfectly acceptable. Keeping a family together and subjecting the kids to hearing mommy and daddy fight every night isn't.
