Infidelity

[Gyp Rosetti]

Perhaps I read to much into your post but I took this from your comment on nature over nurture to mean that you'd place biology over who you raised. MY family is the opposite is all. It is all about who we claim as our own.

No, no, no, not at all. One of my best friends is in fact adopted bro. I just see so much of myself in my dad, personality traits, morals, physical issues, and so on. I simply took the post down because I didn't feel like getting into a long drawn out conversation over it. I also quickly realized that all of these issues may obviously come from the way I was raised, not simple genetics.

Trust me, I have a ton of respect for people who adopt or are adopted.

Yeah, they should just tough it out and win the Academy Award for the next decade until the kids are out of the house. Because the kids won't be able to pull that veil back and see the reality that is their sham.

It is their choice.
I think parents who choose to are heroes.

Where you crossed a line with me is assuming you knew more about my daughters than I do. Interesting to note is that you are the only one I have seen cross that line on here.

Assuming they are hurt by divorce?
I thought that's a damn given for all kids of divorce.
It's a bad habit I need to shake.

Yes, yes, it is that simple.

Don't try to turn it into you saying something else. You clearly implied that I didn't understand what they were going thru while you did. Stop that ******** spinning because I ain't buying it.

Maybe the grass is greener on the side you didn't live.

Exactly. My parents should've gotten divorced earlier and presented a healthier, happier home for us.

My thoughts exactly. I can't imagine getting a bigger **** YOU than that. I'd take her for every damn nickel I could get, make sure my kids went with me, and we'd move to Seattle and buy a fishing boat. Boo ya.


Is it kinda sad that I want my wife to cheat on me now? My boat is gonna ROCK, eh!

So what your saying is faithful wife < unfaithful wife= fishing boat.

I know exactly how you feel. My parents waited until my youngest brother turned 18 before they called it quits. They should have divorced back in 1999 like they had originally planned. Nope, they 'stayed together for the kids' and, unfortunately, my brothers and I had to deal with a very unhealthy home. I wonder how much different life would have been if they had called it quits much earlier. I bet I'd still be living in Utah.

This was the sentence you have a problem with.

"Maybe you don't realize how difficult and painful those things are for your children."

I'm sorry if you took that as saying you clearly didn't realize.

I acknowledge that I should have made it general to all children who go through those things, and not gone personal to your situation.

apology accepted.

On a personal note. I do. My dad lived in CO then WA while my mother lived in UT and MS. I never spent a summer with my friends till I was 17. So summers (all summer) and every other holiday were hell on earth for me. He worked all day and was never home. So basically I got to spend all that time with his new wife who locked me and my brother outside except at lunch, dinner and bed times. So yes I know.

How to do you fake a solid marriage?

How do you know the marriage was not solid?
