It’s a lot of adults with dependent kids circling around them behaving in a very self centered "I want, what I want " fashion. Following your heart where it leads you is fine as long as you’re not dragging a bunch of people over the cliff with you. > > This x1000. I see quite a few stories like this on the SDMB, where two parents are lying, cheating, and/or snooping on each other, and their kids are simply caught in the middle. I should know… I grew up this way. In the words of my father twenty-something years ago: “We’re going to do what we [the parents] like, and the kids can go fuck themselves.” > > Also, this is some pretty strong evidence as to why polyamory is never a good idea. Well, you could say the kids count as victims, I suppose. ---

I don’t think it’s marriage that’s the problem, so much as maybe there are people who won’t do well being married. There are probably also people who think that marriage fixes everything that’s wrong in a person or relationship, and that is not how it works. For me, I don’t get why these chicks on Bridezilla get to get married. I don’t know that they will STAY married but i don’t get why they get husbands at all. I can’t make myself watch more than 5 minutes of that shit anyway, fwiw. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-my-life-long-and-pathetic/550585.md?page=3)
