[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I find the most fascinating aspect the fact that the OP has no moral regard for her affair partner's children. The fact that she can completely absolve herself from any guilt caused by her part in their fucked up childhood.[/quote]

I actually don't find that at all surprising. I don't think that the OP has an obligation to have any feelings at all about her boyfriend's children. A friend of mine had an affair with a younger woman and ultimately ended up leaving his wife for her (they are still together but who knows for how long). The other woman was and still is fairly sentimental about his child with his wife (who was pregnant at the time of the affair - baby was <1yo when he left). I had a lot of feelings about their whole situation, but one of the biggest ones was feeling really really creeped out by the other woman loving the baby. To me, it was a fundamental failure to understand what her place was. That child already has a mom. As a person in a blended family myself, my second husband is 100% respectful of my daughter's relationship with her father. He has never tried to "be her dad" or replace her dad in her life. My friend's OW was not like that at all. The OP of this thread is not sentimental about her boyfriend's children because she is not part of their lives, nor does she wish to be.

As for the degree to which their childhood is fucked up, there you go again with the failure to accept that all situations involve a degree of nuance. As many people have pointed out, if this guy was not cruising Alaska with his mistress, he'd be doing something else. I strongly doubt that that "something else" would be "spending time with his kids". He just doesn't sound like the type, frankly. [/quote]
