Got a few friends who are now divorced who had kids as the band-aid. You're %100 correct that it's probably not a cause of a relationship going south...more likely the relationship was already in the drain, and they try a child as a stopper.

It's an incredibly selfish act

And they wonder why the kids grow up resenting them...? ๐Ÿค”
