Should you stay together for the kids?

The newspapers are full of split-ups this week. This morning Danni Minogue is front page news in The Sun. She has split from the father of her 21-month-old son, after what some say have been months of blazing rows.

Ronan keating and his wife also announced the break-up of their marriage this week - they have got three children, and it seems she just could not come to terms with his infideility.

By contrast Mark Owen from Take That and his wife are having another baby - she is obviously more able to cope with serial infidelity - two years ago he told The Sun he had slept with at least ten other women during his marriage.

Who has got it right here?

Should the kids always come first and does that always mean you stay together?

Did you try? Did it work? What is your advice this morning to other couples who are on the rocks - it is possible to keep it going to protect the children? Does it matter that your relationship is a bit of a sham?

What happened to your parents? Did they break up? What did that do to you and the rest of the family? Were you damaged or was it a relief?

Is there someone out there for everyone?

We meet a young man from Dover who features in a new Channel Four series called the Undateables. Sam Barnard wants to find a girlfriend. Is his Downs Syndrome an obstacle?

We hear your views and stories.
