[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious before you all had kids with these monsters, did you even think about how you were bringing kids into crappy marriages?[/quote]

Hah. May your smugness come back to bite you.

The short answer, as you likely already know, is that people change. Or they can no longer keep on the mask after a few years. Or they have mental health breaks. Or mid-life crises. Or they snap.[/quote] Seriously. My ex's financial success went to his head which happened after we had kids. He's that guy who has to let you know he has GROUP ONE BOARDING. The guy I married and had kids with was happy to be able to afford a plane ticket in Economy.[/quote]

lol did we divorce the same guy?! Have had this exact convo![/quote] OMG there's an epidemic of these guys. But thanks to my legal fees which I charge to my airline credit card I now have GROUP TWO boarding! So there! My therapist and I have talked about this a lot, and you're totally correct - that GROUP ONE behavior came home with him, too. She has helped me see that we were heading in totally different directions - the luxury life wasn't what I was seeking and the more I looked inward to work on myself, the more he seemed to crave that external validation. Looking inward isn't pretty but I sure am a lot more at peace than I was during my marriage to GROUP ONE[/quote]

Now I'm wondering exactly how many times my husband has been married before?? It's like they are all off the same assembly line. Exact same thing. Financial success, went to his head, entitlement, needed external validation. I would have had NO PROBLEM flying first class and staying in luxury hotels but he took his girlfriend instead of me, probably because most of the time if he took me our kids would have to come along too.[/quote]
