""So a woman who has been divorced through no fault of her own, is expected to spend the rest of her life alone Just because she has children?""

No, I didn't say that.

If she wants to get Remarried, good for her. But a live in Boyfriend- as a general rule-they are men who are unable to commit or they just don't love you.

If you are an adult and you want to waste time on a livin boyfriend- As an adult it is your decision. Just don't subject your children to a dysfunctional relationship.

Theres also a new modern way of thinking "We have to see if we love eachother" WRONG- bad idea. If you love eachother there should be little doubt. A functional relationship is when you both love each other and are married.

That's what I meant. And I bet you agree.

Your notion works good if there are kids involved. But, sadly today, the institution of marriage is a bad deal for men.

It almost seems like the live-in male has the mindset that, if momma puts out for 'free', the daughters must also. (in MOST of these cases)I suppose if they look at the mom as 'cheap and easy', then that 'value' is passed onto her kids.

I've seen the single mom life. I had NO USE for any whore dog in heat sniffin' around.

A functional relationship is when you both love each other and are married.

You probably think they should be of opposite sex too.
You're so, you know, old fashioned.
