But seriously- are Europeans THAT different from Americans or Australians where they will think a man is responsible because he chose to separate from his PREGNANT WIFE and how is he not running away from you when he will leave right after the baby is born?
Haha! welll.. the French, in general, are very family-oriented but I don't think I am saying anything new to add that they are also at the same time not so 'outraged' by affairs..(the scandal around Bill Clinton wouldn't have even registered in France if it were their president..well, actually, that's not so true of current-day France which IS rapidly changing and becoming more conservative, including changing ideas about private/public, etc... but I am getting off track here...).
But let's say, very generally speaking (and I stress the very 'generally') they are not considered so easily "shocked" as Americans (and Aussies) by things like infidelity. Our cultures are more puritan, theirs more...latin!
But you are right, no one will think it is GOOD, but most of them will just accept the new world order: that is, ME + BUB in Australia, WAH + OW in their midst. Ugh, makes me ill just thinking about it. Of course, I am still hankering for justice and will for a long time, I suppose.
I like "WH", btw. Maybe more apt than WAH? Cos WH implies H in A?
I love your examples of people who return after two years or so.. holy cow - that's a looooooong wait!
THANKYOU so much for reminding me about the ways/timescale of baby bonding. It will be a relief to not worry too much about WAH's process of bonding with bub in those first weeks/months, for baby's sake.
But for WAH's and my sake, I want him to bond like CRAZY, just like your WH did!
