Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

No one is berating anyone for their point of view. Instead we are discussing it and people have different points of view. And as it goes in such discussions each side tries very hard to get the other...

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

A good husband or wife is not replaceable. Each person is unique. A good spouse is not easy to find.

Our children grow up and leave us. After that it's our spouse who is with us until one of us...

Re: Husband gets praise and reward for not being at work for 3 weeks!

Well just be glad he still has a job, I guess.

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

When a person is seen as replaceable they are not all that important. It's just a fact of life.

I'm done on this thread cause we will just go in circles. Neither of us will convince the other. Our...

Re: She said "w/a man I don't love"

Some other good books are "His Needs, Her Needs" and "Love Busters".

The books that Thumper suggested are good ones as well. Read all of them. The advice they all give works well together.

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

Yep and this is why it's so disturbing... your wife decides to not spend the money to save you after a bad accident because you can a spouse can be replaced easily.

Why do you think a woman would...

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

Not that I recall.



There is only one person who knows what a woman is really going through in a pregnancy. Not all pregnancies are wonderful experiences with the woman being just a bit moody....

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

We also see it differently because of my life experience with a husband who made it clear that he a child mattered to him and I did not at all.

If I were younger I would never have a child with a...

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

I’m not quite sure why you think I am trying to pick a fight. I’m discussing a topic that has meaning to me.

As someone else said, living through a situation often changes a person’s perspective....

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

Are you saying that no matter what the wishes are of a woman, you would chose to save the child over the mother? That's how I read this.

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

In the situation I too would have gone in after my child(ren). But see, that's me making the choice. It's not someone throwing me in water making that choice for me.

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

You are avoiding the issue here.

Some of the men here say that they would always save the child. The words used by one is that a wife can always be replaced.

Some men want the right to decided...

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

Presumably he has an ongoing relationship with the mother of the child. She took a risk to try to carry a child. I think that choosing the child over her, when her wishes are not known is showing a...

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

Then the adult who cannot speak for themselves is the one chosen to live.

Under what circumstances would you be ok with your wife choosing someone else's live over yours?

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

I would hope that a couple would talk about these things before something like this happened. And I think that the husband has to follow the wife’s wishes.

If they have not talked about it ahead...

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

What would you do if your wife told you ahead of time that if this happened, she wants to be the one to live?

Would you follow her wishes or would you still chose to let her die.

Not really because it is unfortunately something that people are faced with in real life sometimes. So it's a real question.

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

It's my belief that those making the choice has to choose the adult.

Pregnancy does not carry a death penalty.

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

You have no skin in the game. By that I mean that you live no matter the choice.

The adult who will lose their life is the one who has the say.

Re: Choose between your wife and soon-to-be-born child

This situation is not only about the child. It's about the mother, and wife, as well.

The father has a right to his say.. he can tell his wife what he would like to see happen. But the ultimate...

What you describe is how the OM fits into the dynamic of your very bad marriage.

The OM is a release valve. As long as you have him around and on your mind you do not have to really concentrate on...
