Outside of abusive scenarios, has anyone allowed there children to come between you and your spouse?

Question

and lead to divorce?

Answer 1

My stepson - who is almost 20 - has created alot of friction in our marriage...So much that I could write a best selling novel!

But I will NEVER let him win because I love my husband and I know this will eventually pass...

Answer 2

Wow...ummm, I think Mercy needs a nap.

To answer your question...

If we do argue it is about his kids...I think he is a bit too strict and if he wants them to do something (ie chores) he harps at them and then he wonders why they are mad at him.  But he has gotten better.  But I don't think it would ever get so bad that we'd split.  I was raised where my sister and I were told by my dad that no matter what we could never come between he and my mom...and it was true.  We always knew that my parents came first to each other above all others.  

Answer 3

Wow, I need to try that angle, make the kids hate me, and force moo moo lovins to leave me.

Answer 4

It is so good to be free! I was so free when I left you the first time so sorry for those around you I am happy again again again your perfect plan has failed so deeply you are so miserable so miserable so miserable old pervert man that needs to make all this just to f* a young woman, how entirely desperate and ugly you are, and you call other people prostitues, you are the lowest of all low forms of life on this planet

Answer 5

My husband and I have a his mine and our family.  When him and I got married his x wife was none to happy about this and she would say things to the kids about him and I that would make life not so welcoming.  There has been times when I have just wanted to call it quits because of the fighting and whinning etc.  But under no circumstances would l let this come between him and I.  I tell him how I feel and he respects this.  I know that things may not get better but I choose this life and I will stick by our relationship.

Answer 6

My parents did. It was painful to watch for sure.

>>>mercy....what in the name of fruit loops are you talking about? Please, take your pills. Be well.

Answer 7

My wife and I had been together for about 2 years and her son was having problems in school. She was not a disciplinarian, and like most other parents who fail to discipline their children, the first thing they want to do is put them on drugs and say they have ADHD.

I told her that even though he was not my son, if she put him on those narcotics I was leaving her cause I wouldn't stand for it. 2 years later, after I took over the role of disciplinarian, he does well in school and behaves himself.

Granted it was not divorce, but I was going to end the relationship because of that child.
