Count me in the, "Sorry, but it's over" camp.

grab your stuff, see you in court.

Holding things together for the kids isn't nearly enough for a situation like that imo. That relationship would be utterly shattered for me; and ain't no happy happy joy joy face going to change that, nor are the kids going to be fooled.

    - I'm with you on this one... that situation is so extreme I don't think I could muscle through it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 13:01 1
      - I don't think I could either -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 13:01
  - I remember my best friend telling me in middle school that her parents were divorcing. - kelly Feb 6, 12:59
I don't like painting stuff like this with absolute brushes. I know it works for some people, but... - TFox Feb 6, 12:52 2
- Oh, I agree. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 6, 12:54
