I wanted the relationship. I wanted no more kids. It weighed out at 51-49, so I had the kid. I had a “choice” in the matter, but it wasn’t free–it would have resulted in a cascading series of bad effects. you cannot sleep in a house with an angry woman for long. Is it really worth divorcing over one extra kid? plus, as it turns out, he is a good little fellow. but that’s nott he point. we couldn’t know in advance how great he would be. he couldve been a little jerk.

March 18, 2010 at 4:54 PM #527600jpinpbParticipantOk. So you’re saying if I want a kid, I just have to insist upon it w/the guy and pretty much make his life hell or divorce. Those are the options. And this is a relationship people are happy to be in. I’m so confused. I must know absolutely nothing about relationships.

Just because people are suffering horrifically elsewhere doesn’t mean that people with financial anxiety aren’t suffering.[/quote]
My point is that their “suffering” is all relative. In the whole scheme of things, they’re not really “suffering.” Their world view is so narrow that they just think they’re suffering. And I don’t have a lot of sympathy for such “suffering.”
If you want to see real suffering, head down to east Tijuana sometime. Then come back and tell me how difficult some SD resident’s life is with a mortgage that’s $100K underwater.
