[quote=Anonymous][quote]So we're clear, you're saying OP should not compromise in the marriage he's currently in, so that he can strategically cement his preferred location in the event of a divorce. This is your premise?

[quote]Yes.

If you thought divorce was on the horizon, would you move to a town where you don't want to live, don't know anyone, with significantly diminished career prospects, that you would have to live in for the next 15 years or so, and that you'd never be able to convince your spouse to leave because their family is there?  Of course you wouldn't.  And to suggest that OP shouldn't consider that is ridiculous.  You're lying to yourself if you believe you wouldn't have the same thought process.  [/quote]

Then you're in the wrong thread. Or put more succinctly, you're answering a question that wasn't asked. Where on earth is "divorce on the horizon" in this thread? I agree that OP sounds like a crap husband and father. But to his credit, he's asking how to navigate next steps in a marriage/parenting situation he is feeling challenged by, and most posters are advising OP to choose a pathway that makes sense for the future of himself [i]and his family[/i]. Most of us (you excluded) understand that this is how people stay married with a newborn.  He isn't asking how to strategically position himself before an impending divorce, but it makes perfect sense that this is the question you're answering. A poster upthread said it best: some people just shouldn't marry or procreate. You and OP seem to be examples. [/quote]
