"I think it's better to have parents, who are separated, who are happy and who can be the best version of themselves, than staying together in a situation that it not working."

Agreed most of the time, but it just really depends on the situation. Volatile relationship? Yes. Volatile relationship where the financial strain will not be bad with a separation? Extra yes.

Lukewarm yet respectful relationship where the financial strain will be bad with a separation and overall it will affect the child worse than if their parents stayed together? Eh. I think if that's the case and the couple mutually agrees to see other people to get their needs met and stay happy in that part of their life, it can work. Every situation is different.

yeah, i agree that it depends on the situation. my parents wanted to get divorced when i was 16 but they waited until i was 19 and off in college so it didn't uproot my life. they simply fell out of love and are still great friends to this day. i'm very thankful they waited until i was older and didn't make me have to deal with that transition and travelling between two homes as a teen.
now, if they had wanted to get divorced when i was 8 or something and waited ten years or longer then idk if i would say its a good idea. parents are individuals as well and idk if i think people should stay in an unfulfilling relationship just because they THINK its better for the kid.

Great example, and yes agreed re: the last part too. Kids are so much more resilient and intelligent than many adults give them credit for. I wish my parents had split when I was younger sometimes but at other times I understand that the financial strain would’ve been too difficult for my mom, and my dad wasn’t abusive or anything, so I get it. It’s just hard to judge without knowing and living in the entire situation

I think the problem is that the resentment will always come through

Good for her for realizing this because so many people don't. Reading between the lines, this relationship did not spark joy, and it's good that she just cut bait early on.

"I am not with my son 50 percent of the time and therefore won't know 50 percent of his life," the 30-year-old explained. "That is something that is hard to accept."

She prioritized her own happiness, and now something made her unhappy. Poor thing.

Stop, you’re embarrassing yourself.

Wonder what happened. I stopped following KJ a long time ago but back when I did they seemed really in love.

He was like in his early 20s when he became a dad. Its always surprising to see a young actor father a child and early in their careers, same with Archie Renaux.

[alienjive]

TIL he had a kid too lol

I always forget that Jude Law had like 3 kids already by the time his career was picking up
