Re: The EX-WIFE

Have your current wife call Dr. Laura. You may think I am kidding, but I am completely serious.
We men can lecture, and talk all we want, but your wife will get a real earful from Dr. Laura.

I impatiently listen to her each morning, before something good comes on, and I hear her take this particular call from both the husband and the new wife 3-4 times a week, mostly from the new wife.

Her jist will be, the new wife chose to marry a man who has taken on responsibilities towards his children. She new that when she met you , or soon afterwards. Feelings arose, but all that time you dated, she knew you had children. Now she must be courteous, and willing to share. Period. This situation was consistently clear, and known to her. Additionaly, Dr. Laura rebukes a woman for feeling threatened by fine qualities of love and responsibility in her husband.

The children do need to see some good old-fashioned self sacrifice for their benefit. That is what being a parent, and not just a sperm or egg donor is all about.

I truly suggest you tell her to call Dr. Laura about this, and tell her you will do whatever Dr. Laura says. Women love that, but the Doc does'nt play around, or get too manipulated too often, so I believe your risks to be few.
