YDI FOR NOT WAITING TILL MARRIAGE TO HAVE SEX, ****

As a divorced parent, and a child of divorced parents, I'm going to have to say I strongly disagree with you Jeef. My ex-wife and I spent almost half our marriage trying to work out our problems (including counseling) before we finally agreed it was time for both of us to move on. Since that day we have both taken pains to make sure that our children know that we are both there for them and, in fact, my ex and I have managed to become close friends again now that we don't have the pressures of marriage and living under the same roof on us. Our divorce also taught them what I believe is the most important lesson a parent can pass on to their child and that is they do not have to stay in a miserable situation when they would be happier out of it. Far too much of the world spends their lives walking around in what my father likes to call "quiet desperation", thinking that they appear stronger by silently suffering rather than doing something to better their situation.

"Today, I had to go to my husband's favorite uncles' funeral. When we got there, a pregnant woman showed up, ran up to my husband and kissed him. Turns out, they've been dating for 2 years and she turned up to surprise him. He DID look surprised to see her. FML"

Oh my god! How terrible. Sorry you had to go through this. My solution would be to turn lesbian, be with his wife and be happy hating him together!

sucks for you, you shouldnt have had sex in the first place without being married i mean also next time listen to your boyfriend if you are even gonna get one with a fricken baby YOU RUIEND YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!! hahahaha sucks for you

217 She really didn't ruin her life so much as had her life ruined by a guy who didn't have the decency to divorce his wife before running off to get another woman pregnant. It should be interesting seeing how he gets by once his wife divorces him and gets her ~30% child support and the poster sues him for support and pulls ~20%. Hope the dumbass enjoys paying out 50% of his salary before his check even hits the bank.

This is a FYL for sure. The way the OP put it - it seems like he lived where she was most of the time rather than where his wife and kids live. Congrats on driving 600 miles with a baby on the way though. And to the comment about the stepparents/stepchildren thingg... my parents are divorced. Im just perfectly fine. oh might I add that my stepmom is like my own mom to me? Same with my stepdad, hes like a dad to me. While yes some families cause damage when they get divorced while most kids can handle it.

please wake up and be in reality- i can gaurentee you 85% of the population have sex before marriage. Society Values and norms have changed since way back when. (like the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s etc). The norm/values is that you can have sex before marriage. society isnt going to frown on it. wake up and get a sense of realtiy.

Shhh 220-they're busy shoving their morals down the throats of everyone around them-no time for debating or listening to other people who dare to disagree with them!!!

marrajane = fail. stop trying to convince others that your way of thinking is right by giving specific examples and exceptions of certain families' scenarios. of course there are exceptions to rules. but the rule in this case is that MOST divorced couples' kids have harder lives than those whose parents stay together. MOST. not ALL. of course there are exceptions. but please don't sit at your computer and try to name every one of them! if you want to name the 3,947,385 different family situations across the globe then write yourself a memoir. people on here don't have time to read all of your examples.
