[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine come first. Why have kids if they don’t come first? [/quote] +1. I have and will continue to do so. [/quote] Your kids will move on. Hope you didn't sacrifice your marital relationship. [/quote] To keep things in perspective, some marital relationships aren't worth keeping after the kids move out. [/quote] Some could have been worth saving if you had worked on maintaining the relationship beyond the kids. I didn't pick a spouse for breeding purposes.[/quote] Most marry for love; however, sometimes things turn sideways (abuse, serial cheating, the spouse becomes a liability for a variety of reasons such as financial infidelity, substance abuse, gambling), resentment builds, and we've stayed married to keep our children under the same roof as us until they are legal adults and for little other reason. It's a big sacrifice, but for many, it's one worth making. [/quote]
