Mine is that way. Been married for six years....three kids. Sounds perfect doesn't it? All that's missing is the picket fence, right? Problem is that the marriage soured along the way to the point where we are only roomates now. We co-exist and that is the extent of who we are as a couple. Our kids are our only focus...the only thing we have in common. There are days where its enough, where the kids laughter, tears and sheer joy affects me in ways where i just handle things as is. Then there are days where i need more. But i stay for the kids...
is it wrong? on some levels it is because i know that in time we will get to the point where we cant do it anymore. I know that the kids are being affected by our actions or lack there of....and the last thing on earth i want is for them to ever think that this is what love is. That this is what a real marriage is.
As parents we must act as examples for our children...and the dilemma i face is what example am i setting for my kids....in staying in a relationship that does not work?
The answer to your question...how many? More then you or i will ever know.

Lots of them. It happens when people think that kids are not going to be fine if their parents get divorce. That's not true. People must understand that kids can not live in a marriage that shows unhappiness. They will do the same later. Kids grow up and move away.Then, What are you going to do? you deserve to be happy and life is too short.

I tried to stay for the kids sake but it was too much for my kid to suffer and see a loveless marriage and I would rather let her see me out of that hateful environment and I think that too many kids see a loveless marriage and base their relationship on that of their parents mistake. But it you choose divorce never blame it on the kids and remember despite what your relationship turns out kids need and do better when both parents are active in their life's

Sadly enough, way too many.
It's depressing how many loveless/abusive/whatever marriages continue because they don't want to "split up the family" and they don't want anything to be hard on the kids.
What people fail to realize is that being from a broken home is much better than living in one.

A LOT!
Personally, I know of at least 3 couples who stayed together until the kids left home, then it was divorce.
Is that better for the children? I wouldn't think so.

I would think a lot. I am so thankful that my parents saw that it was wrong to stay together. I dont blame them for getting a divorce but I just blame my dad for not wanting to be one.

At least one... I am staying in the marriage for my kids... It would hurt them more to experience divorce...than it hurts me to stay with him.
