#BreakingPoint I thought about this long and hard. If I were in their shoes (cheating, addiction, no real change): Would I stay for the kids or walk away? Why? I would walk away. Kids feel tension even when we stay โfor them.โ Iโd rather raise them with honesty and peace than inside quiet misery. Reconciliation or protecting my peace first? Peace first. A relationship needs effort from both sides. Fighting alone only breaks you. One advice Iโd give right now: Donโt beg someone to choose you. If they wanted to, they already would have. How would I rebuild myself alone? Slowly. Therapy, prayer, routine, and learning how to be okay with my own company before thinking about dating again. Kids involvedโco-parent or no contact? Co-parent with boundaries. The kids matter more than adult ego or past hurt. What joy comes from life with someone who stopped choosing you long ago? Honestly? None. Love without loyalty and respect isnโt loveโitโs survival. Sometimes leaving isnโt giving up. Sometimes itโs self-respect. .
