My step dad married my mom and he has been a great dad. The marriage is very happy and I am glad he didn't have a shitty attitude like fbj.
My mom and dad married each other before I was born and stayed married. I'm glad my mom never put me in that vulnerable situation. She loved me more than she loved herself. My safety was more important than her happiness.
Some single mothers feel economically forced to get married. Then the kid is a major annoyance to the step father. Women should start caring for their children before her children are even born. They should pick them a good father. Americans have been extremely selfish since the 60's and don't really think things through. They just worry about their momentary happiness and the hell with everybody else.
My wife's parents were split up when she was a kid. One time it was being discussed for some reason and her mother said, "Well I am happy now." My wife wanted to beat the living snot out of her mother at that moment. Selfish selfish selfish. Stay away from an unmarried woman over the age of 30. This is more applicable if she has children. Pick a good woman to bear your children. Don't marry a delusional, irresponsible and selfish brat. She can't see past the moment. Marry a 22 year old accounting major. She knows how to plan ahead and lookout for opportunities to create the maximum benefit for herself and those that she loves.
Run away from the lunatics. They aren't good mothers for your children.
