[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could he have travelled more but been home more frequently than the wife who is not travelling and sometimes home M-T for dinner and always home F-Sun for dinner???[/quote]

He couldn't have, OP is lying (or in denial) about that. Has said he worked longer hours during that time than he does now and traveled "a lot." If OP is getting home at 6 every day now, longer hours means he wasn't getting home any earlier than 7 during that time (and I suspect it was often later than that), so at most OP's wife is currently working an extra 5 hours a week than OP did during non-travel periods, but she doesn't also travel on top of it. OP is losing more and more credibility every time he posts to this thread because his story just doesn't add up, which means that the reality of their situation would probably paint his far less favorably than his account here does.[/quote]

When did you start hating men?  OP easily could have been working from home in the evenings.  In any case, two wrongs don't make a right.  Both parents should be present in the kids life, which means, at a minimum, being home for dinner on a regular basis.[/quote]

Working from home in the evenings is still working, and it means he wasn't present for his family while he did it. He may have done it after the kids went to bed, but that just means that he gave what was leftover to the kids and his wife got the scraps, so to speak. You are correct that two wrongs don't make a right, but OP doesn't seem his previous work habits as a wrong, so that expression doesn't apply here. Unless OP

Oh, and your misogyny is showing with that "hating men" comment. [/quote]
