Even if the marriage don't make it, it is imperative they get on good terms, for the sake of parenting their kids.

The topic of "staying for the kids" causes a split public opinion. Some people say yes and some say no. At the end of the day, it's your choice but remember that you have to look yourself in the mirror everyday so make the one you can live with.

I think what people are saying is to try and found out why you have these feelings (or lack thereof) towards him. Go to counseling and see if you can rekindle what you once had. At least then you can feel as if you tried to make it work.

Furthermore what is her financial situation? All this you go girl you don't need a man stuff often makes mother and child end up in poverty. To say that doesn't matter is to say she should value her personal desires over the future well being of her son. Children do not typically do better when raised by a single mom, PC propaganda aside.

Im not immature at all. Just because someone telling me that my sons gonna have 2 or more new dads in his future and me defending myself??? I did not expect my relationship to get this distant. I had a child with someone that I have been with since i was 16, i didnt go out and just get pregnant by anyone, and honestly im happy i did have a child with him because he is a great father. Just because we dont make eachother happy anymore does not effect the love we give our son.

A child raised in a split household can still turn out pretty normal. Just thought I put that out there.

It is not your husbands job to make you happy, nor is it your job to make him happy. Happiness comes. From within. Until you learn to make yourself happy you will never be truly happy in a relationship.

So your telling me one must be married to be a good mother??? And i said yes when he proposed I would have like to wait at least a couple years to get pregnant or married but instead i got pregnant sooner & yes we married so we could be assured myself & son had the best healthcare during pregnancy!

Geez, who said the OP was in a hurry to find a new man? People are jumping to conclusions here.
