Love me some Sunday!
We have a weekon-week off agreement with the BM. I love Sundays because they're going to their mom's today. Yay! I love them, so on the next Sunday, I'll be hapy it's sunday because I missed them.
From looking at a few ppl's blogs on here and talking to some friends, I found something disturbing about some women that are setting up to become SMs: So many have a hero complex. You can NOT save your man and his kids. If you love the kids and the man enough to get involved, do so. Just know that this will be the hardest thing you ever do. Marriage is hard enough for ppl without skids to deal with. What you are doing by marrying this man is NOT bringing a woman/mother-figure into their lives. You are not going to "show them what a woman should be". :sick: You are not going to change their lives and make them love their daddy. A woman can be a great influence in a man's life if the man is looking for some help. But the kids have a mother and a woman in their loife. You are not only marrying this man, but the woman he has had the most painful thing done to him with. You will never have what she has with him, hopefully. You may have kids with him, but hopefully, you will not go through that pain with him. :O The kids will never view you as their mother, but they may grow to love you. Do not come into a marriage thinking you will fix their hearts. Only God and time can do that. Takethe advice of women that have gone through what you are planning on doing and continually remind yourself that this too shall pass.

I couldn't agree more! We can
I couldn't agree more! We can never really be the "mommy" it's better to just be a great person in their lives and try not to take over.
I always knew this but it took a couple years for it to REALLY sink in. You cook a gourmet meal, they talk about how mommy takes them to Burger King! :jawdrop: You decorate their bedrooms at your house, they chat about how they love sleeping on the floor at mom's new boyfriend's house!
Above all - he has to be one amazing man. A so-so man with this kind of baggage? FORGET IT!! My guy cancelled out all other guys I'd known in every other area, so he is worth it, but some of the guys we hear about in these situations make me think "why honey, why??" :O
My hubby is probably a "why
My hubby is probably a "why honey, why?" guy, but I'm married now and there's no going back in my mind. I will never be divorced so I better find a way to love him just as he is. He is a great man, but he's also a jerk a lot of the time. If I had known how extreme his bipolar disorder can be, I probably wouldnt' have married. I felt really angry at my family the first few years of my marriage because no one told me how hard being married would be. And no one even gave me an inkling that being a SM would be harder than being a BM. But it really is. I've set out to inform girls. I don't want to be a downer (I was even left off of a bridal shower list because of it.) but I think they should know how hard it is. I don't like that girls come into marriage thinking it's going to change their life for the better all the time. They need to know that the hardest part comes first and the rewards come much later.
