When people have kids I always hope it means they're going to give their marriage/relationship everything they've got and more before ever calling it quits. It's one thing to bow out cause you're not happy when you're young, live separate lives and it's easy to walk away and sever those ties. When you've made the commitment of starting a family, at that point you shouldn't be allowed to just walk away unless you've done everything humanly possible to keep that family intact. Because at that point it's about more than just you, it's about the kids. Their perception of human relationships and the meaning of that is what's at stake at that point. It can royally #### with their lives.
So you'd better give it hell, sir. Compromise, communicate, give more than you did yesterday. It better be option z, as far as I'm concerned. You made this commitment after all.
That's just my opinion on the matter, though.
