Chasing down a man
Quote From: lookingupWomen who are happy with their lives don't need to try to justfy it by insulting other people's choices. There is no one right way to be a parent. You think that any divorced woman who falls in love again must be some villain, neglecting her kids to "chase down a man"? What a sad world that would be. Children are happier when their parents are happy! I so agree! I love being married. I even liked it the first time but I won't tolerate a cheating husband. I have always been "the type" to want a man in my life to be really happy. When I found myself single again, do some women expect me to sit by and watch my ex husband get remarried and "tell myself that I was happy" because I had kids to raise by myself? I hope my kids know they were first in my life but I still cared enough about myself to want to be happy too. I know a lot of women (and some men, probably) think it is just awful if a woman comes out and admits she is happier with a man in her life. I'm not ashamed of this. I was not desperate to find a husband and did not marry the first man that I dated. I tried to choose wisely. If you read my other post directly relating to the step-parenting issue you will see that my second marriage almost failed but I still don't think I was wrong for wanting a man in my life. That's just who I am and I don't need to be ashamed of it or apologize for it.
