Relationship problems are significantly greater if you have children with your partner. The children are the innocent bystanders and they really don’t care or need to know who’s wrong or right, they see their mommy and daddy fighting, and that’s all they care about.
Nothing will tear you up more than seeing the disappointment on your kids face when they realize mom and dad arn’t going to be together anymore. Really, is there any good way of explaining it? I certainly don’t know of one. I suppose time will heal those wounds as well… but it just sucks.
Having kids with your partner is certainly a good reason to go the extra mile and try to make the relationship work. Of course, not all relationships are meant to be, but we should all raise our tolarance bar a little higher for the sake of our kids.
