[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Nice try. A woman leaving with children is nothing like a man leaving for an AP. [b]It would be irresponsible for her to walk out without thinking through how she can support her children.[/b] And don't say child support, that's not nearly enough to give your children a stable quality of life if you were out of the work force or otherwise underemployed to mommy track[/quote]

You have no idea who was the primary breadwinner in this poster's relationship.  It very well could have been her.  The PP's kids could have stayed with the dad.

I asked about her financial steps because I did not know.  Are you the PP? If so, say so.

In any case, neither parent would likely be as well off financially post-divorce.

How is a woman (with children) leaving her husband for another woman (or to date other women) different than a man (with children) leaving his wife for another woman (or to date other women)?

She could have told him she would walk out the moment she knew she was going to do so and trusted that the father of her children would provide for their welfare.  [/quote]

The depression rates of a gay person married to a straight person are *high*. Like, we are looking at despair. I am a former Mormon and the church used to encourage gay people to marry straight people to turn them straight. It resulted in terrible outcomes. I feel so badly for some of my friends, but they have all come out of it better. And their spouses are *all* on board. The spouses usually remain friends and they co parent well. Maybe there are exceptions but this is just what I have seen.

And it’s much easier to explain to a kid “I’m actually gay and shouldn’t really be married to a man” than it is “I found someone better to sleep with.” They are just fundamentally different.
