I imagine we are also supposed to be civil to the OM, too if our spouses end up marrying them -- for the sake of our kids.
What's the future hold? An amicable divorce where I'm a weekend dad and the OM gets to raise my sons and daughters? That fuck-face gets to steal my wife AND kids? Oh yeah, where I live, mothers generally get principle custody. By the way, he's been chronically unemployed for years. Imagine this -- I get to pay alimony, which might support him financially.
I don't want my kids to be civil towards him. As a Christian, I wuold want them to forgive him and love him. But my goodness, I sure would love it if they made his life a living hell. ;-)
I...can't....even...breathe...when I think of this.
I'm getting far ahead of myself...this may never happen. Maybe I should start my own thread.
