And in your opinion the wife is living up to her vows?

Its not hard to look up the success rates comparisons between children who come from two parent households compared to those that dont. The evidence is overwhelming.

We are getting one side of the story from this guys friend. It sounds like the wife has some serious issues she needs help with. Her willingness to address them is unknown, but clearly she hasn’t been successful. However, it doesn’t sound like the husband understood or cared how to try to get her the help she needed.

Either way, neither parent is a model that anyone should be following and two kids lives are now likely worse off because of it.

They also had water with no crazy chemicals, butter instead of canola oil, glyphosate free food, lightly pasteurized or unpasteurized milk, natural lighting, etc.

Over the past 50-100 years we really screwed up our environment

By the way, I love how you rattled off 100 lbs like it’s nothing. Shows how accustomed to a shitty lifestyle we’ve become.
I didn't rattle it off. I put 3 question marks behind it too suggest incredulity and disgust. But, I don't have to deal with that, my wife is thin, but a pain in other ways.

If she's 100lb heavier and not losing weight, that's more than enough info to judge her just as harshly.

I will comment on the info provided here. You can add whatever hypotheticals you need to justify this fatty.

I challenge you to find one hypothetical I added to justify her poor health decisions and being fat.

I have made abundantly clear that my issue is with praising or encouraging anyone to emulate either of these two parents as they have been described by op.

So then you agree we don't need a different side of the story?

Correct. It’s clear neither of these parents is a model to follow.

vow says “through sickness and through health” not “through thickness and through health”, so he’s hood imo.

Youre shocked to learn children have better outcomes in a two parent home?

No, I'm shocked that you equated shaniqua in the hood having 18 babies from different guys to a divorced couple.

But you're not just comparing that. You need to show the success rate comparisons between children who come from unhappy two parent households compared to those that don't. You can't use all the happily married couples out there to bolster your point. That's not what's being discussed.

I dont know how you define happily married couples.

The younger a child is that goes through divorce,the more problems they tend to have. They've been studying this for a long time now.

I don't either so your argument seems difficult to defend. It's definitely not as cut and dried as just pointing to raw statistics.

Then why did he get married?

When you marry someone, you say a vow.

Easier to cut bait and run. Weak men.

That's it. Your word means something or it doesn't.

If she broke the vow, that's one thing. To bail on your kids is indeed spineless.

Thats true. All we know about this relationship is a post on a message board. I dont know why this woman refuses to better herself at the expense of her marriage, but the fact is that she could change tomorrow and lose that 100 lbs. Its not a permanent affliction.

I supect they dont love each other anyway & she stays fat so he wont touch her & hes looking for an excuse to leave so this is it. Very sad for two children cought in the middle.
