Search Results: marriage with children

As stated, together 6 years total. She cheated on a business trip. Tried marriage counseling but turned out she was still talking to this creep. Clean divorce. I’m now 26 and divorced. Just worried how women my age (24-28) would cure this history. Really not looking to date older etc and I have continued working with the counselor to not carry any of the baggage with me, honestly there isn’t much. I’ve got self respect, she betrayed me and I deserved better. Good riddance.

But I worry how dating looks going forward, if I’m damaged goods to girls my age etc.

Okay ladies, if you’re married to your husband with two kids at the time, they are very young, like one is 3 and the other is 5 years old, and y'all also have a puppy. There is a hurricane coming that’s been said and told on the news to be prepared and leave as soon as possible since it’ll be in category 5. So, you and your husband prepared to leave with your kids, but in this scenario, there is the husband's cousin who is into voodoo like a voodoo witch or something like that, but the dad doesn’t mess with her like that. The husband wants to go with his wife and kids together so that when the hurricane comes, they all leave together as one as a family, but the wife made the choice to leave her husband with the two kids and go with his cousin and leave the city in the midst of the hurricane approaching. The husband/dad alone with the puppy is alone and has to survive somewhere to get to higher ground.

Now ladies, do you think it is right for a woman to do this, as she calls it “thinking about her two children,” but leave her husband behind?

Ladies, would you do this to your husband and leave him with the kids to flee off with his cousin or stick by your husband to leave together as a family since that’s what a marriage and family are supposed to do?

Some people argue against marriage for a variety of personal, social, and financial reasons. Here are a few commonly cited reasons why some men choose not to get married:

1. **Legal and Financial Risks**: Divorce can be financially devastating due to alimony, child support, and division of assets. Some men feel that the legal structure of marriage disproportionately affects them in cases of separation.

2. **Loss of Personal Freedom**: Marriage can require compromises on independence, personal time, and decision-making, which some men might be unwilling to sacrifice.

3. **Changing Social Norms**: With the rise of cohabitation, long-term relationships without marriage, and acceptance of various family structures, some men feel less social pressure to marry.

4. **Fear of Divorce**: Given that divorce rates can be significant in some countries, some men avoid marriage to prevent emotional pain, financial loss, and the stress of a potentially complicated breakup.

5. **Negative Experiences**: Some men may have seen unhappy marriages in their families or among friends, which influences them to avoid marriage altogether.

6. **Prioritization of Career or Personal Goals**: Some men may choose to focus on their careers, personal growth, or hobbies, feeling that marriage could interfere with their aspirations.

7. **Perception of Modern Marriage Dynamics**: Some men believe that the traditional benefits of marriage no longer apply due to evolving gender roles and societal changes, making it less attractive.

These perspectives don't apply universally, and many men still see great value in marriage depending on personal, cultural, and relational factors.
