She is half white half Costa Rican. But you can’t tell, she has dark skin. I’m telling you, I was legit worried for a minute.

My suggestion to you is to take all of this awfulness and write it down into a screenplay. I’m thinking 30 minute episodes, 10 episodes a season on FXX starring Kenny Powers as you.

We think alike
One of my good friends is Mexican. When I told her about my marriage troubles she was so quick to say "if he hurts you or ever cheats on you let me know...I got cousins who can pay him a visit"

No fricking around on las chicas.

Especially if the guy is a gringo

Didn't even think about that. Certainly compounds the issue.

I would argue to be a good parent your family must be kid-centered. The kids should not take a back seat. The issue is that being kid-centered should not lead to risking your marriage. A family being kid-centered also does not mean there is no alone time for the parents.
Maybe the issue here is the definition of “kid-centered household”. My understanding is that a kid-centered household is one in which the family and all activities are completely organized around the needs, wants and desires of the kids.
There is a difference between setting up your home as a safe place that provides kids what they need vs a home set up to prioritize kids’ needs and wants above all else. I’d argue that the latter is actually not good parenting at all. Most parents who do this end up burnt out with kids who aren’t properly oriented because they’ve been conditioned to think that they’re the center of everything.
If mom and dad are having trouble with finding time and energy connecting, little Braxton can skip travel ball this year. If there are intimacy issue, maybe it’s time for the 3 year old to stop sleeping with mom and dad. Kids won’t wither and die if they’re not priority number one 24/7. They’ll likely be better off for it.

I'm divorced with 2 kids, remarried a few years ago. My first marriage was a huge mistake, but I learned from it and now have an amazing wife and my kids have a great step-mom, who is in their lives more than their birth mother is.
This is my exact story
Posted on 2/17/20 at 4:16 pm to Cosmo
I'm still married. Albeit, not really happily. We have good moments from time to time, but I'd be gone if it weren't for my kids.
I'm not going to pay money to only be able to see my kids every other weekend.

Oh yeah I’m white. But lucky for me my wife was raised by her white grandparents.

I was always told your priorities need to be in this order:
God
then
Spouse/marriage
then
kids
Doesn't mean you neglect your kids. But that you don't fall into the trap of putting your marriage completely in the backseat and solely focusing on your kids. Cause then when the kids are grown....there is nothing left to support the marriage.

Not to be a one-upper, but in middle school a kid's parents were divorced and his dad started dating one of the teachers at our school. Kid wasn't in that teacher's class, but the talk was still ruthless once everyone found out.

Exactly what I’ve learned.
Once kids are preteens (sometimes earlier), your season of being closely involved in every tiny detail of their lives is over. That’s a little more than a decade.
Your marriage can (and should) last for multiples of that. That should be the priority over the people who will only temporarily be small children.

I grew up in the latchkey kid era and a lot of my friend's parents were divorced, including mine, but I don't remember any juicy parent hookups. I'm sure they probably happened though.
Posted on 2/17/20 at 4:47 pm to fallguy_1978
Grew up in the same era, and was a latchkey kid. Friend in the neighbor had divorced parents. His dad got the house in the neighborhood and my friend was a latchkey kid. Used to go over there after school and watch his dad's porn collection.

The first wife told me she didn't enjoy sex anymore and she would longer agree to do it. I was only 24 years old. I filed for divorce 2 days later.
Eta: that she had been raped by her dad from the age of 11 to 14. He was still in prison when I met her. Messed her up pretty bad. That's why she couldn't enjoy sex. Unfortunately for her, I just couldn't be in a sexless marriage. I would have been ok with twice per month but I just couldn't give it up altogether. Not at that age.

Me and my next door neighbor had divorced parents and both of us lived with our dads. His dad had an extensive beta max porn collection. Some of it was pretty weird shite. Chicks with dicks and what not. His pops was a freak

This causes the husband to sleep in a hotel. Yada, yada, yada, divorce.
Did he end up going to the hotel or just a movie??

Whenever I'm having a bad day I can always come to the OT and instantly feel better
Ain't that the truth. If I need a self-esteem boost I go to the nearest Walmart, watch an episode of "COPS" or come to the OT Board. Damn.
