thanks. You are totally right. By making it easy for her -
well, think about it. Right now, she doesn't have to work. She takes money from me and her parents. She doesn't even have to be a mom full time - she can dump the kids on her (retired) parents.
She's in a position many people would find enviable. She doesn't have to live the hard life of a single mother, she gets the benefit of having someone else to help her with the kids, and she doesn't have to work to support herself. She can take off and do whatever she wants pretty much whenever. She doesn't have to actually work on a relationship with me, or do any of the hard stuff of marriage. She gets the money, the kids, and doesn't have to shoulder the burdens.
