[quote=Anonymous]Just want to post to the woman who married the man with two kids, now has two of her own and plans for all six regarding vacations, home purchase and car purchase: your husband and all of those children are very lucky to have you. It sounds like you married a good guy but it sounds like he won the jackpot with a woman who loves and accepts all his children, which isn't easy. I'm a first wife and my exhusband's second wife was so vindictive to us that my kids eventually lost contact with their dad. (Let's put it this way: she tried to cut me off of his employer health insurance while he and I were still married!) Many men sacrifice their kids at the altar of the second wife. Your husband found a wife who is not only helping him raise them all but is teaching all of them the importance of family.

To the OP, if you can behave like this poster, then go for it. If you love him and want to marry him, you can do it-- but you will have to make sacrifices: you will not be able to stay at home, you will have to plan for all the kids for summers/ weekends and college savings, you will split income and inheritances (his retirement funds may already be split) and, significantly, your time with your husband will be compromised by their lives forever. You will also gain his children, a man who loves you and it sounds like the children you desire. If that doesn't work for you, then get out now because it doesn't get better: the divorce rate for remarriage is higher than first marriages. [/quote]
