If you have a kid with a guy should you stay with him if you don't love him.

no it is not best to stay with someone just because of the kids. you will only hurt the children in the end; because you will be miserable.

My mother did and on the day we buried my father I ask her why she stayed she said it was because of us kids. I ask her if she really hated us that much, 38 years everyone was miserable. A kid deserved better than that. JMO

I have always said--
Being pregnant is a piss poor excuse for getting married.
Having kids is a piss poor excuse for staying married.

My kids will ALL tell you they are glad we divorced.

Kg you took the words right out of my mouth.....You are so right. I don't believe in shotgun weddings or the torture for the kids sake.

Being a victim of the stay for the kids syndrome and the answer is a big NO...

Yeah...I stayed probably four years more than I should have...because I lost my dad young...and I did NOT want my kids to lose theirs.
I probably would have saved us all a lot of pain and suffering from knowing when to give up earlier.
But then again...hindsight is always 20/20 vision...its so much more clear when you look back.

shake my head..

why did you have a kid with a guy you don't love?

another father screwed out of a life with his kid?

I can only hope the guy doesn't love you either.

poor kid has to grow up without both their parents in their daily life.

the two greatest champions in life for that kid.. and you start them out with only one.


I dunno if it's best. pretty sad story to me.

If there is no love between the parents, then there is no love in the household. Children need to see the love between their parents. If they don't, then how are they going to know how to love when they grow up? JMO

Don't stay just because you have a child together. You both need to be happy and you can both be good parents living apart.

Nope. But you should at least be cordial with your child's father and give him an opportunity to be a part of their lives. And make sure he takes responsibility by helping to support. Do it through legal channels.
