Cheating just as bad as putting kids before husband ???

Is this really the general consensus? If anything, it depends on the situation. Just getting stuck in the mindset that your children should be the priority shouldn't necessarily equate you with someone who does the same amount of emotional damage as someone who cheats on their spouse. When kids are very small, there is hardly time to sleep, let alone time for you as a couple. Once you realize you are on the path to cheating, it is a very conscious daily decision that you are doing something wrong. Being a parent of young children and neglecting even yourself, isn't something you are consciously aware of as wrong. You think what you are doing is best for the kids. It seems unfair to punish a mom the same way you would a cheater. I'm not talking about neglecting your spouse until the kids are off to college. I'm talking about the challenges of being a first time parent and not understanding what a healthy balance is. Once you realize you were wrong, wether it was pointed out by your spouse or your own realization, is it worthy of the same punishment as if you were neglecting your partner because you were "busy" with another adult?
