Well you're off on that "family" bit, I just say that now because I have to come to grips with them not being "my" kids anymore and that's one of the way's I'm doing it. Not that it matters much our kids are all adults now, the youngest is 18. Either way, I don't regret it, I just have to let it go now because I know they're going to... well basically side with their Dad and not call me or whatever. If we divorce I can't even say they are my step-kids anymore :/ Oh well, we raised them right so they're all doing really well and I can be happy for that.
Meh I only brought up the relevant "flaw" and I suppose it's my flaw anyway. My point was simply that if you can't cook, don't get someone who thinks of them self as a "traditional" husband and wants dinner on the table when he gets home.
Obviously I'll take your word for it. I wasn't there, and this is your life story not mine.
I can say for myself that I always cringe when I hear people refer to "my kids" and "his kids" and such.
I was adopted. My sister was not. I can't even begin to image what damage would have been done if my parents had ever said "his kids" and "my kids".
That said, since you are sharing... do you really think it was simply that you can't cook? Or was it simply that he was a bad guy?
I want a traditional wife. But simply 'cooking' isn't a requirement in my book. Granted, since I can't cook either, that would be an interesting problem.
Although I can see a guy choosing who to marry based on "I want a wife that can cook", I do find it hard to believe one would divorce over lack of cooking alone. You are telling me that was his primary core problem? I find that odd. I wonder what he would say if he was here.
