[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think you're exceptional? You're describing most fathers.[/quote]

Compared to the fathers i know in real life, not really.  Compared to what i see discussed here, yes.  And I guess it’s not really a fair sample of course because most people come here to complain because why post if everything is going well. [/quote]

The husbands I know in real life are generally nothing like the ones mentioned on here a lot. I honestly don't know why that is. I imagine some of it is because of course I don't truly know what goes on behind closed doors, I only know what I see (although I do think I have seen a lot with some families). The rest of it I don't know. Perhaps it's our SES level. Perhaps it's our self-selecting group of friends. [/quote]

I think you’re not getting the whole story with most other couples. It’s always later when they divorce when the truth comes out. [/quote]

Sure, no one knows the entire story, but we have vacationed with many of these families and you get to know people pretty well when traveling internationally and sharing a house for 10 days. The two couples that I thought were doomed to divorce did, in fact, get divorced. The others of course still could but we're not spring chickens anymore and kids are largely older so while divorces still could occur, I'd bet no more than one additional couple does so.

In any event, even if I'm wrong about some of the families, the majority of the men are still not like the ones here. We have meals at their houses regularly so I see the men cooking and participating. The men routinely take the kids on trips. I could go on and on but I really don't think I'm that wrong on all of them. Also, my husband is very close with some of the men and while of course they may complain about things every once in awhile, one of the things they have in common is how involved they are. And I'm close with many of the wives and we do discuss our husbands, so I think I'd have some inkling at least with the majority of them if something is going on. So again, I doubt I am not getting the full story with "most" other couples. [/quote]
