[quote=Anonymous]I'm divorced and remarried.  I think the largest issue with divorce is that you have 2 parents who split and then have different agenda's and goals.  If both parents have to stay together just to make the kids their #1 priority, I think that is worth it.

My ex left, I had 2 small kids and I went from splitting the work between me and my ex to doing it all myself.  Ex wanted no part at all in parenting, he was OK with having fun with the kids though.  If I had to stay married just to have my ex make my kids a focus then I would have.

Then, ex gets remarried and his priority is making his new wife happy, kids are a second priority.

I think this happens because a lot of men need a spouse (or think they need a spouse) and it is easier for them to just try  and make the current wife happy then to take care of the kids.  Also, dealing with the exwife can be unpleasant, so easier to just let the ex handle everything with no support.

This is not only a man thing, I've seen women do this too.  [/quote]
