I know exactly what you're going through and my best advice is to tell them to put their bullshit behind them for now and decide what is best for their kid first. When you're a parent, your child comes first. Not the drama of who cheated on who, or how someone doesn't want a divorce because of their previous past.

My niece was 2 when her parents seperated and even though she was young...kids aren't as oblivious as most would think. They know when their parents are upset, and they know when something is wrong. They might be able to voice their feelings (hell, they don't even know it's sadness they feel) but they know it's bad and in turn can really screw them up in the long run.

If the marriage can be saved, then save it. If it can't then it can't. Don't drag their kid along this rollercoaster ride.
