I think he’s totally right. Too many people try to win divorces, you can’t, the best you can do is survive them. I know a couple that have been split longer than they were married and are still constantly at each other’s throats, not good for the kid or them. Much better to understand that since they had kids they’ll never be truly quit of each other, keep it civil, keep it supportive, and enjoy watching their kids grow up. He’s in a position where they’ll both be able to enjoy their kids’ graduations and weddings and children, much better than having their kids dread their parents turning their big events into war zones.

You and many others agree with the man in the article. Most guys when the wife initiates the divorce, especially when they have kids, are devastated. Odds are there is another man at that house and I’m not really sure how coming over to celebrate the ex-wife’s birthday with the kids is beneficial. My dad left for another woman. If my mom acted like this I would have viewed it as an act of desperation. I would have lost respect for her.
And just out of curiosity, do you think she reciprocates in a similar manner? You know to make sure the kids know how great bio dad is?
BINGO!!!
