Just to be clear.... When we talked about seperation, we both agreed that our child would be adversely affected of Mom & Dad told him we were splitting up - we therefore, decided to keep status quo on the living arrangement and try to make ourselves better in the process.
Just to be clear.... kids are very perceptive. You think a kid won't notice that mom and dad are faking a married relationship? All you're doing is teaching your kid that this is what a normal relationship is like. Is this the type of relationship you want your kid to have when they grow up? Do you want them to be cheated on and taken advantage of? If so, continue doing what you're doing, you can use all the fancy words in the world to explain to them what you're doing but it's actions, specifically your actions that they will learn from.
So if this is what you want your kid to learn and emulate when they grow up and have a relationship and get married, then continue doing this because you're teaching this to them.
You can tell your wife this part as well.
Kids aren't dumb.
In fact I think alot of kids are smarter than their parents.
