compartmentalize

I can tell that they wouldnt work together as husband and wife, but just looking at them as friends... I can see thats what they're meant to be.

That's a diff issue MA

throw away the bad, keep the good

don't i know it

I mean with regards to comparing the two options

parents can be resentful to each other face-to-face
It is imperative that they won't show that shit to children and allow access to kids for the spouse

but nothing worthwhile is easy

Whenever they're together its a fun time

It depends really

Your personal shit should never be a fucked up psychological shit for your kids

Be above that

If they stay together just aimlessly, then that's bad

But

Be a fucking mature adult

yeah, parents need to have a united front as adults cause if they don't the child becomes a wishbone

@Uksio tell my dad that lmao

can't stand parents that act like that

If you stay together for the active sake of valuating such relationships and keeping the family together, then that's good, even if you have major problems

A couple months ago we went together, the three of us, to buy some construction material in a market thingy somewhere in town I'd never went to. The ammount of fun we had just running that errand was unbelievable. @ManAnimal

It is kinda similar how people separate job and personal

well, if the woman gets to say 'yes' that consequence is she doesn't get to just leave cause she feels like it

there are three spheres that should not be merged: family, personal and official

sounds like fun.... i know that feeling too... when parents get along it makes things better

When they are resonably separatedly acted out the person is healthy and happy

exactly uksio

Idk if I'd have it any other way

different rules for different spheres of influence

This is why I refuse to work for my mum

Family and work just don't mix

wise choice, jack

Kids need to see your best as an example, not necessarily your fawed self

money and family don't mix

A bit of acting can go a long way in raising well adjusted kids

anything at the interection that you might both want makes conflict more likely

it's why marraige as equals is less successsful than as seperate roles

less to trip over each other

less overlap

Though I would not really call that acting, it's just being nice enough to not burden another with your own self
