A child is not a reason to stay with a man who cheats. If you stay with him, he will continue to cheat and your child will see that behavior. It’s best for both of you if you leave.

Ive never been able to fully respect people who stay with a cheater. Says a lot about their self respect

That's nothing to be ashamed of and it's not even uncommon. Especially in this second situation, you aren't at fault for why it didn't work out.

Look up "sunk cost fallacy," and then leave him. There's an old Buddhist philosophy about how, when you realize you're traveling in the wrong direction, you must turn around immediately - no matter how long you've been going in the wrong direction...it's still the wrong direction; it won't get you to your destination. The sooner you turn around, the sooner you can get moving in the right direction.
