How many of us are divorced? How many on their second or third marriage? How many husbands have affairs? How many wives have affairs? How many of us have children by different men? How many of us have had abortions?
As a matter of fact I have only ever had one husband and all my children are his. But I’m very much aware that many, many people get divorced or have affairs and have children with different partners. I’m sorry but BJ is doing nothing out of the ordinary. He’s having a baby with his partner who he’s engaged to. So what!
Someone up thread mentioned his other children. The four he had with his ex wife are all grown up, and therefore getting on with their own lives. The one born as a result of an affair lives with her mother. I don’t know anything about somebody and an abortion, and it’s none of my, or your business. There are no other children that anyone actually knows about. It’s all tittle tattle, gossip, and hearsay. I don’t care less what it says on some blog of God knows which year about family values, the only thing I would say is people move with the the times. Nowadays it is entirely unremarkable to live together, and have children together without being married, and equally unremarkable to be divorced.
When every last one of us can say we have only been married to one partner, only had children by one partner, never been divorced, and never had an abortion or an affair, then criticism can justified. Until that is the case, I suggest that we discuss something of more relevance.
