Probably not, Husband.

Don't get me wrong, folks, I love my children beyond life itself, but I feel that detachment would be so much easier to do if my W and I had not been blessed with them. In fact, if we had no kids, then I really feel it would have been too easy to detach -- I would have been gone by now. But I'll never know for sure, because that just is not the situation. It's a mute point.

So I endure this for my two S's. I do this because of my love and my obligations to them and the family we started with God's blessings. Come what may, be it divorce or reconciliation, I will be there for them as their father, making the best of what the circumstances may be.

Real love is a decision.
Marriage is a commitment.
