Aud,
I think my W's handling of the puppy situation is telling also. She cares about the puppy, and does caring things for him. However, she has her limits, and can only supervise him for a period of time.

I don't see how she could manage children. I would never say this to her.

It validates what I was thinking ten years ago, when we were wrestling with the issue. I think having children with her would have been very difficult.
