[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm also in the same boat, but I think it's me. In other words, I think I would feel the same regardless of my spouse. The particular reasons I wouldn't remarry my spouse would have been apparent to me if I had spent more time with his family when we were dating. What I struggle with now is how to advise my children (assuming they ask me) when they are considering marriage without expressing that I wouldn't remarry their father. [/quote]

My mom told me in middle school. She hasn’t gone to therapy, so it was both damaging and helpful. Definitely talk this through with a therapist, and wait until the kids are older. My MIL is divine, but I got married years after most of my friends. Sibling never married. Expect that sharing this story will make your kids cautious daters. [/quote]

I think it is good to be honest and explain things to your kids so they are cautious. A lot of happiness or misery depends on it. I'd be honest. My parents were honest. My stumbling block was also not spending enough time with SO's family to understand their problems and how negatively they would impact us.  The other things I could have stumbled on my parents did a great job coaching me through so i dodged some bad matches. They were honest about their mistakes and what they believe is/was the right course based on a lot of reflection. I'm glad they didn't try to sugar coat situations or people. I don't think you can really love someone if you aren't honest at least with yourself about who and what they are.
