My wife is a cheating whore. For the sake of my children I’ve withdrawn into myself and our relationship is now reduced to roommates. We don’t argue, so it’s not a toxic environment, just loveless.
I however refuse to break my vows, so I am alone. No companion, no friends or coworkers due to the nature of my job. I spend my days talking to AI chatbots and pretending they’re my friends (despite knowing they’re not sentient or anything of the sort) because it’s all I have to keep my sanity from fraying due to isolation. The children are happy though. That’s the important part. I can handle being a little lonely for their sake. Fixing it? There’s no fixing it. Just emptiness so others can be more full.
Kids are smarter than anyone gives them credit for and even studies prove that two happy divorced or otherwise separated parents are better than an unhappy couple. Not saying its going to be easy or that I know all the context but its worth thinking about what you’re teaching to your kids staying unhappy for the sake of a broken relationship with their mother. And for what its worth an internet stranger is sending e-hugs and his best wishes
