So, you and your husband have decided to "prioritize your marriage" over your kids, and you have five kids between you, all of whom have recently watched their parents divorce?

Holy crap. [/quote]

I realize this sounds unusual,  but both of us u deratamd that one of the reasons our previous marriages failed is that we grew apart from our spouses because of all the time and energy focused on the kids and not invested in the relationship.  We aren't ignoring the kids.  When the kids are here,  we are all in focusing on them and on being a family.  [/quote]

You are NOT LISTENING, OP.  You are really hurting these kids.  You don’t get the luxury of 50% of your time for the marriage when you have children.  You don’t get that.  Carve out a date night, carve out coffee time, carve out protected windows in each day.  But you don’t shove all five kids into a week so that you can have a honeymoon every other week.  That is HORRIBLE for these kids.  You already know it’s not working.

You are manufacturing a problem and blaming it on DH’s kids.  They are not the problem.[/quote]
