Re: Spouse wants co-habitation clause

Wow, your post hit me right in the head. I just joined this forum to help with some insight and info etc and the first post is one of my issues.
My marriage is ending, and that is a given. We have two children around the ages of yours. They are devastated. I am heartbroken for them. I see their secret pain and sadness, mom dissmisses it. She is a product of a divored, but it didn't affect her..(boy is that another story!) I want a cohabitation clause. Not because I want to deny the ex the opportuity to move on, or have a relationship, which she already has, I just don't want it in front of the kids. I want the same boundary for me. Because of the saddness I see in the kids, I dove into finding out as much as I could about their mental health to learn how to cope in divorce for them. The studies are pretty alarming for children when they don't have the time to digest, and accept the finality of their parents divorce. Most times, the effects are delayed for two to three years, issues like self esteem, anger, grades, promiscuity issues, morals, and problems with the law. The rate of the above problems dramatically drop when the children learn to accept, acknowledge, and learn the different life is ok. They are more likely to develop healthy relationships. While I would love to have a great new long term relationship, and "cohabitate"-I can't be that selfish. Time heals all wounds, and if I can't keep that thing in my pants what kind of father can I be? What kind of father will those children see? That's my story on why the cohab clause- nothing more, nothing less.
Reading in between the lines, I assume you have a sig. other and will move the new guy in as soon as the D is final. You wanted an opinion, that's mine
