So true... And if those children happen to be daughters, it just sets them up for the same type of self-blame in their own relationships! If they happen to be sons, they may grow up thinking that it’s OK to go out and cheat if they don’t FEEL their wife is “good enough” to them (ignoring their own responsibility for a healthy marriage). This statement of course applies to a cheating husband, but I’ll bet some of the same issues happen with the children of a cheating wife as well.
IMO Dr. Laura is just stating common sense. If a spouse is feeling unfulfilled at home, he/she is more likely to fall off the wagon. But she should have mentioned that it works both ways.
