| What on earth I thought they were getting divorxed |
They don't match to me. I've always thought they were odd together. |
Jesus. You're too precious. |
Why? They never separated and his “cheating” blew over pretty fast. |

I am completely open about my reasons for our VERY large age gap (8+ years), but I do find it annoying that people immediately assume something is wrong when someone doesn't conform to the 2-3 year age gap norm
I had health issues with my first pregnancy in my late 20s, my husband was in school, our first was a handful, I switched from FT work to PT work, we didn't want to pay for 2 in daycare. We waited 4 years to TTC by choice. THEN we got surprised by unexplained secondary infertility. Weren't completely sold on spending a damn fortune on/putting my already messed up body through treatments. So, just kept trying for a while. After about 2 years, finally decided to try IUI and nothing else. Did get pregnant on the second cycle - had a miscarriage. That was devastating. THEN came a major marriage crisis after we had completed our first IUI round (3 cycles total) - it was really hard for a month or so. We were just starting to talk again and had decided not to split/divorce....bam, pregnant without treatments. It wasn't a save the marriage baby, though, as some might have thought (although few knew our marriage was in crisis to begin with - I didn't share with many people what was happening). I share all this because you never know what is actually going on with a couple/family. I mean, MAYBE what you're saying is right - but maybe this is what they planned, too. |
| Dying to know the name! I have a Silas, too (although born several years before JT&JB's) so I'm curious if I will also love the name they picked for #2. |
Jessica will never divorce him as she’s already clinging to B lister status as is. |
So you had both fertility issues and marriage issues which delayed having another baby? Um, that’s exactly what I suspected with J+J...because it’s not typical for a woman who is pushing 40 to delay just for fun. |
Um, wasn’t there just like a 7 page thread about how no one should ever talk about pregnancy decisions if you only have one? Where are all those snowflake posters now? I mean, J+ J aren’t even mom bloggers. How is it okay to speculate here but not there? |

Our “marriage issue” didn’t really delay us. I shared that only because the timeline might look like we had our second to “save the marriage”, which wasn’t the case at all
My post was to say it is a bit obnoxious to assume you know what is going on in anyone’s marriage. Some people also assumed we were one and done when we hadn’t had a second within 4 years. Unless you know the couple well, you don’t know their plans or motivations. |
It would be hilarious if they named the kid Bandaid. |
ICYMI: nobody made a declaration as fact. Rather, people suspected. These are celebrities (plural). Fair game to speculate since it is an usual gap between kids for a woman pushing 40. |
It's because everyone knows she's not into guys. So, yes, that makes them odd together. |
Yikes... Is little brother/sister aware of the depths of your bitterness and animosity towards them? You sound like you have major anger and resentment issues stemming from your childhood and you should speak to a therapist to try and resolve these negative, toxic feelings. |
It's just a message board - harmless speculation. It would be rude at a dinner party to start asking you why there was such a big gap between your kids and not letting it go. Discussing celebs on a forum they will never see is not the same thing. |
