sry, but the picture you're painting might be rational but I don't agree with it. Just because the divorce statistics might be bad doesn't mean you should breakup, just because he is unhappy now doesn't mean he will be unhappy in the future, same goes for the marriage, just because it's bad now doesn't mean it will be bad forever. Just because I want something doesn't mean I should go for it without looking left and right. You also lose something if you decide to change things. He could just adopt or maybe he would just like kids around him, so he could work in a soccer club, kindergarten or something else part time.

I merely emphasize the choice in his life, reminding that not all is lost.

Just because he does not divorce now does not mean that the partnership will hold.

Just because he breaks up and has kids with someone else does not mean that he will be happy.

Either way there is risk, and there is choice.

Choose wisely, Luke.
