Who needs to ask the kids? Or, who in the world here is arguing that mothers and fathers belong apart, absent some act of cruelty or a present endangerment?
Most. Not all. I've met a lot who didn't want that and with good reason, bless them.
Within the provisions of my caveat, of course.
Like suggesting that believing in free speech means you can't wait for a Klan rally.
As much as my supporting free speech does for the Klan or you, I suppose.

Of course you don't. You're part of the persecuted majority.
I think there's even a monument in Washington to the suffering and historic inequities faced by old white men in this country.

It's a great lens.
If you like. It won't alter the truth of the experience. There are three elements, I think, to a great marriage. Serious consideration entering into the estate, God, and the ability to laugh at yourself when it costs you something.I could run what you're saying viewed through a social psychology lens if you'd like.
