It's a sobering thought for Mother's Day, but if your husband is cheating on you, it can affect you as a mother in 3 important ways - psychologically, physically, and financially.

Psychologically - If your husband is cheating on you, it can lead to psychological issues that can negatively impact the way you interact with your children You may be so emotionally distraught that you become short tempered or impatient with them, or unable to give them the care and attention they deserve. It's difficult to be a good mother while you are trying to work through the issues of your husband's affair. Infidelity in your marriage can also cause psychological problems in your children. Depending on the age of the child these may manifest themselves as depression, anxiety, problems in school, drug or alcohol use, eating disorders, promiscuity etc- problems with which you, as their mother will have to cope.

Physically - If your husband is having an affair and he's engaging in unprotected sex, you could be at risk for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) such as herpes, syphilis, or gonorrhea. If your health deteriorates, how will you care for your children? STD's can also jeopardize the health of your unborn child, if you are pregnant. Some STD's like chlamydia can even affect your ability to become a mother, by rendering you totally incapable of having children.

Financially - If your husband's infidelity leads to separation or divorce, it could affect your ability as a mother to financially provide for your child - especially if your husband refuses to meet his financial obligations. Without his income, you may be unable to support your children in the manner to which you are accustomed. You could end up having to work if you've been a stay-at-home Mom. Or if you're a working mother, you may have to take a second job to make ends meet. This can severely limit the time you spend with your children. An unexpected divorce or separation can put an unsuspecting wife and mother in a serious financial bind. Consider the financial implications it could have on divorce on living arrangements, health care, and the children's education.
