[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my DC is dating someone I ask (and hopefully it is natural to do so?) - what do the parents do? And Are they still together? If I’m asking I guess it does matter to me. I’d prefer if the parents were still married, as I think it speaks to the values with which a person was raised (and I’m saying this dully aware of the hardships that I know many family and friends have had to resolve or overcome in order to stay in their marriages) [/quote]

Ugh...you don't get it.  I had no choice in my divorce.  He left for.a midlife affair.  Unresolved childhood issues.  I had no idea that unresolved childhood issues would maniifest later in life in a  destructive way. All I knew was that I loved him and I believed that with enough  loveI could fix him. That might make me naive, but it doesn' mean ai have no values.I was in for life!  Shame on you for insinuating that people in similar situations don't have the values to raise kids to make good decisions in the future about marriage.[/quote]

DP but.... your children were also raised by their father who sounds like he sucks. All else held equal I’d rather my kids not marry the kid of a man who didn’t have enough impulse control not to blow up his life. [/quote]

How much control do you think you have over your children’s interpersonal relationships?[/quote]
