That sounds ok until you apply it to something like, both parents choosing to work minimum wage and follow their Hollywood dreams of stardom to the considerable physical and scholastic detriment of their kidlets because they want to model "being true to themselves".
Indeed, indeed, as I posted re: @Greek, this is precisely why it's worth pondering. What is the correct / appropriate / decisive ratio of self:other, selfless:selfish, etc.?
At what point does selflessness become martyrdom? And what of that query? It's easy for Studly Paragon of He-Manliness to pose, what with his virtual har-eem of She-Studs from Hardbody Gym hanging on his every rep. But for those who ascended the heights of Mount Parenthood? A different thang altogether.
(One should never assume that SP's willingness to ponder a Thing is synonymous with Approval of Thing....)

The way I see it (considering you have no religious scruples trapping you in your m), your wife's status as the mother of your children is a substantial weight on the one side of the scale. Not the whole scale.
Indeed, indeed, although as Studly also pointed out -- correctly, in my estimation -- that status doesn't change upon D (her argument in a nutshell). So I guess for further pondering, I would pose this question (appropriate, zum Beispiel, to @aliveandkicking's sitch) -- To what extent does / should / can / ought one "defer" to WAS's status as Parent? Does Parent trump Walkaway in the post-Bomb recomputation of accounts payable and receivable?
