If that is the only reason NO. It will end up hurting both you and the child.

A baby is NOT a good reason to stay together, it actually can be worse if you guys are really unhappy and have an unhealthy relationship, your child will not benefit from an unhappy household and fighting all the time. If you feel you are unhappy, you should get out, most women stay for the baby but in the end it's not the best thing for you or baby. Just make sure he is in the babies life if he wants to be and you guys come up with some sort of co-parenting plan so the baby is nice and happy.

If there is any chance at all to save the marriage, I would seek all options. I do believe in a live long commitment. But, if it is going to have ill effects on the child then I would have to put the children first. I have seen first hand how a couple has tryed to stay together because of their child. The child is living in a home with 2 strangers to each other. Robots, not parents. A child should be able to see the love between their parents and a healthy relationship between parents in order for them to have one themselves one day. You can not fake your way though that one! So I would say, if you are not able the have a healthy relationship that is benneficial to your child, than come up with a way to be apart but still bring joy to your child. The child will be under less stress and see how much each parent loves them. (don't sacrifice yourselve so greatly for the child. You could evenually become unhappy with the situation and an unhappy mom can make an unhappy child without even realizing it)

There really is no reason that they absolutley HAVE to stay together. Two people can raise a child perfectly while living apart. If two people stay together for a child and they don't love eachother then maybe they will eventually end up living apart. Unless they FALL in love with eachother over time.

OMG NO! That is such a terrible reason to stay together! At some point, the child is going to realize that the parents really don't love each other and that is not a healthy upbringing. There is no reason divorced or just not together parents can not successfully rasie a child.

Absolutely not! The pain a child feels seeing his/her parents fighting and saying hurtful things to each other, have severe re-percussion's even into adulthood. There is no reason you cannot separate and come to a civil agreement on custody issues. If you love your child get out. For the best interest of the child seeing his/her parents getting along even if you are not together.

definitely no. my parents got married after I was born and later got divorced. I wouldn't stay with someone because we had a child because if something happens between the two people it could affect the child in a negative way. If they really do care about each other and it's not just because of the child then it's okay.

NO. If you and the father do not get along it will cause problems with the child eventually. I would not stay just because you have a baby together. Their future happiness is important also.

No.
If the love is gone, then there is no reason for the two people to stay together. Don't stay together just for the baby.

no this is where people go wrong. MOST parents put the child first and that is fine and all- but it means that they are not concerned about their needs. no one should feel a child needs to hold together people if they are not happy. I pity those who stay together for the kids especially if its more for the financial well being.
