Well to quote MWD, do something different! Don't just let them get over it and hope they turn out okay like a lot of divorced/unhappy couples did over the last couple of generations. You're right, it had left a lot of us repeating our parents mistakes. My dad neglected my mom, and I ended up doing the same thing. Keep learning about how to build a solid marriage, how to build love after the "honeymoon" fire burns out, and teach this to your kids. Keep taking care of yourself and learning, and you'll probably have a chance to show it to your kids, either with your H or another lucky man.

I've noticed so many people lately saying "I wish I'd learned this before it fell apart." Well it's too late for us to have avoided disaster, but not for our kids!
