Thank you for clarifying. I do see and empathize with that view.
The bringing forth of an innocent life into an MLC world does happen. And it makes a bad situation so much more complicated.
And yes, violence doesn’t get tolerated.
And there is STD, jail, and other unsavoury outcomes that can happen. One of my hang ups was, a tattoo. If XW got a tattoo. Something like a heart with her and OM scribed within it. However, something like that changes nothing with the how and why I’m living right now. A child, a tattoo, whatever, doesn’t change my life. Like you said, that would be their problem.

I don’t think you are doing wrong. And I like to focus on the good or the “right” parts anyhow. After all, what we focus on becomes larger.
You are asking questions, looking within, and listening to suggestions. You are open to change, and show a willingness to realize your own beliefs which might need altering. And strengthening those which you like.
I have to get going to work. I’ll pop in later.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
