When my wife had an affair we split. I kept the house and my daughter, but she spends 7/14 nights with her mum.
I ad a motherless house for 16 months before my new partner moved in, and now we are going through the task of creating a two centred "blended" family for my little girl - she has a mum and a nan at one house (and her mum's BF) and a dad and step-mum at anther house.
It was hard to get it right for everyone, but certainly worth doing. I never for a moment believed that a child needs it's mother more than its father. That's old fashioned crap - as I saw above, if you're no longer breastfeeding a dad can do everything that a mum can do.
If I could afford to, I'd happily stay at home and look after the family while my woman goes out to work - right now that's happening because of my employment situation, but I'll be back at work as soon as I can get a new job - I'll miss the school run, and the laundry. It's therapeutic.

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
