I agree that having a child isn't a good reason, period, to stay with the other person. It's perfectly fine to co-parent a child without being together with the mother of your child. If they stayed together without being in love with each other, that would be a very hard commitment to make, especially since both parties are sacrificing their martial status and possibly their own personal happiness just to give what they believe is a traditional family to their child. Staying in a loveless marriage, causes more emotional damage to the child. Children are not as naive as they seem, and know when their parents are unhappy.
