[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean that you have different visions of parenting, or that she can’t manage her emotions? I flat-out wouldn’t marry someone who didn’t agree with me on at least 75% of parenting. No reason to get divorced if you can prevent a lot of conflict. But that does leave some room for disagreement on lesser points. DH grew up with fireworks on July 4, and I did not. We compromised by planning for the ones that you throw on the ground, under supervision, after they are 5. Just one example of many compromises that I wouldn’t have predicted as a single woman.

If she is emotionally unhealthy, it will never work until you give her the space to work on herself. [/quote]

But how can you know someone will agree with you on75% of parenting until you actually have a kid. People talk a lot of shit before becoming parents, but a lot changes when it's actually happening.

I  would be concerned about someone who is so in love with a philosophy they can't be flexible to change to parent the child they have.

I totally agree about someone who is emotionally unhealthy, but that begs the question how emotionally healthy can OP be if he stayed in a relationship with someone emotionally unhealthy for 2 years?[/quote]

You know because you read DCUM and talk about what you would do or think about all of the unusual disagreements people have. [/quote]

Haha. Is this sarcasm, because if it isn't that's not how this works.[/quote]
