Interesting turn of events. Kids do add an entirely new dynamic into an R. Of course bringing human beings into an unstable R, just on the chance that the R will workout, doesn't sound smart. And interestingly, despite being enirely unenthusiastic about the prospects of us living together again as a family, my H talks a whole lot about trying for another baby as soon as he's home on leave.
I'd say something wise that puts reason to these wacked out guys...but I can't think of anything. Doesn't help that I would really like to have another baby. Except for that whole single parent of TWO young children thing.
Atleast for my H, I can say, he often just speaks out of pure emotion, whatever he happens to be thinking at the time, and you usually can't take anything he says at face value.
The two of you sailing beyond site of land, with only each other to depend on...sigh :). Some relationships would work that way, like maybe the ones we're in. And then other couples who would return from that trip with one less person. Unfortunately, those couples who would survive the trip might be least likely to survive in the real world with all those pesky outside factors messing up their perfect harmony.
