I agree with these statements (and the rest of what you wrote).
I think people here are trying to encourage you (the OP) to make a healthy choice here.
Also, twice in two different threads you (the OP) have stated that the relationship is "beyond repair". Since you feel that way, what is there left to try and salvage?
I agree that staying for the sake of the child can be even more damaging for the child to witness a toxic relationship and/or affairs.
