[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Myself and a few of my friends have divorced with kids, and all but one are remarried. I married a man who had no kids, and he is a step parent to my 3 kids. My best friend also remarried a man with no kids and he step parents her 2 kids. It can and does happen.

I divorced because the thought of staying with my ex and raise kids with him just became too unbearable. He didn’t show me love, was constantly angry, yelled at us, and my kids were modeling his behavior. My best friend left her ex because he was having multiple affairs. Some marriages need to end.

You’ve made it this far carrying all the weight. You can do it. I hate these DCUM, because all you’ll hear is that you’ll end up alone and miserable. I’m infinitely happier now. [/quote]

How did you and your friends meet your husbands?[/quote]

I met my DH eating dinner alone. BFF met her DH on Plenty of Fish. She dated about a dozen men before she met her DH. I met my DH very randomly and wasn’t trying to meet anyone. I just lived my life and was open to talking to people I met along the way. BFFs DH has struggled more in the step parent role (but BFF has a disabled child that is challenging). My DH has adapted better, mostly because my ex doesn’t want to be in our children's lives so I don’t have many coparent issues.

Believe it or not, both our DHs are good looking, athletic, and have stable jobs making between $150-200K. BFF and I each make more than our new DHs (and both our exs made more than us). Both our DHs were divorced and had bad prior marriages. [/quote]

Thank you. I really appreciate you providing so much detail. I’m divorced and ideally would like to remarry. I’ve been considering dating men who make less than me. I’m curious how much of an income you and you DH have? Does it cause any problems?[/quote]
