Whoa I tried. To those who asked I am the wife and he's been unfaithful. I thought since we bought new house and both got new cars and baby he would change.

Beyond that, I agree with So Very Confused.

So_Very_Confused agony auntWhen there’s cheating in a marriage what can hold it together?

Hmmm… I sense that you may be “the other woman” and you are being told that the only reason she stays is due to the fact that he has money and there is a baby… Honey if there is a baby he’s having sex with her and if he’s having sex with her then there’s something there besides money…

If the man is telling you that there’s nothing in the marriage and he can’t leave because of the baby and the money, then he’s handing you a line…

IF you are the wife… then the choice to stay with a man who cheats but gives you things and your freedom to do to him what he’s doing to you, then the choice is yours.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntI suggest you paint the car, the house and the child on to a balloon. Inflate that balloon, then go out in a hail storm...... Consider THAT a microcosm of the marriage and your question....

Good luck....

This family will not be happy at all. Honestly at the initial thought it might be that it wont be so bad but then you realize it really does matter. Emotion and feel has to be in the family. Obviously both parents care for their baby but nothing else. The materialistic things might keep the family joined for a while but eventually it will fall apart even worse. Its time to make a decision.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (20 June 2012):

No materialistic things will not keep a family happy. I have seen this within my close extended family, and I can say that the children have said openly that would have been happier if their parents had divorced and each found happiness elsewhere, than to see their parents unhappy and pretending that things were ok. It is a hard situation, ending a relationship can damage children in a family, but growing up in an environment where the parents do not love one another and are not happy, can be just as damaging, sometimes even more-so. At the end of the day though you need to decide whether happiness or financial security are more important to you. Good Luck

If someone is a cheater, it doesn't matter what you have or how beautiful you are or even creating a child will stop them from cheating. This is a problem they have and it usually stems from lack of maturity, insecurity, false ego, being unhappy with themselves in general, simply not being ready to settle down with one person, it's easier to do then to put the effort into continuously working at a marriage, and a lack of morals. There is no excuse, reason or anyone else to blame for cheating...it all lies on the person who makes the choice to do it. They alone are to blame, nobody else, though they will come up with 101 reasons why we should all understand why they did, or do it.

If you know your spouse is unfaithful, don't fool yourself in believing you can fix him, change him or do anything to avoid this happening, except getting out of a toxic relationship and find someone who will treat you like gold and remain faithful and committed.

There is some things money cant buy...happiness, and by asking this question your just trying to survive your marriage through materials, which is not good. Give it some years and the baby wont be happy with the stress between parents, and thatll answer your question.
