Do you think where there is no trust there must be no love?

This is my second marriage the first marriage lasted just over 3 years this marriage has served 13 years.Would you stay with a person you did not trust for the sake of keeping the children happy?

that's an interesting question. I would say that I love my boyfriend, but because of the type of person he is I don't trust him. I'm not say he would intentionally try to do something bad or would even necessarily look for something bad, but I would just say he is not as committed as I am so that makes it difficult to trust him. I think you should try to talk to him about your feelings if possible but don't expect things to change radically. I think maybe you should try to trust him unless he gives you reason not to.

hi jugsjugs no not at all, not for the kids because the kids would know the marriage is a farce.they are smart and you cannot fool them that there is anything great going on when you know you dont trust your. trust and love go together ,there must be trust before you can wholeheartedly love someone.I would' hate to have to make love to someone i did not trust at all. a farce marriage just makes kids unhappy aNd they will probably act out as a result.

Yeah,I agree,If you cant trusthim you should try to talk about this with him,try to solve this with him.If it didnt work,then you should not be hosest with yourself.I bet your kids happier if you looks happy,mother is like God for children.If I became them I wouldnt want you to divorce but If I given a choice what do i want the most?I would say I want my mother to look happy.

This is my favorite thread so far out of all yours..because me and my friends were talking about this a cpl weeks ago.i think that if theer is no trust you shouldnt be in the relationship at all,because i dont think u can have a great relationship with no trust.and as far as kids are concerned..they are wayy stronger than we give them credit for. Its just my son and I,im not with his dad anymore but we are good friends..i couldnt trust him either,and with good cause,he was always cheating on me..and Skylar is very happy with it just being us..and he sees his dad occasionally durign the year,he lives in another state..but he loves him and cares for me..we just cant be together is all..and Sky got over it pretty quick..like i said kids are stronger than we think..

Children are not blind. They are well aware of what is going on around them. Children are not happy in a bad marriage, any more than those who are married. In most cases, they are a good deal more comfortable when they are in a happy home, which may have only one parent in it, or different parents than the ones they used to be with.

Hi jugs......and my answer is NO!!!!! I was married for eight years my first mrriage and my husband liked usuing me as a punching bag. I left when my children were still babies and never thought about going back to him. You cannot raise happy healthey children in a relationship that is nothing but fighting and arguing. I believe it is more harmful staying tobether for the children then parting and trying to give them some kind of happiness in their chldhood. If a child is raised in nothing but fighting and arguing..then they will think that is the way things are suppose to be and life will just keep repeating itself. flutterby
