It has nothing to do with my heart. The heart is deceitful. I've made a rational argument for my position. I will not do, what has been done to my children.

Not everyones situation is like your own n the kids end up paying a huge price...they deserve a good positive male figure in thier life that loves the Lord if thier real dads dont step up!

All I knownis men who have their families ripped apart because someone decided to trust their heart.

How desperate should you be to move back to your parents'?
Financially desperate for some.

For us here, its A cultural thing. We look after our parents and prefer not to put them in rest homes. They don’t deserve that, since they’re the ones who brought and raised us from the getgo.

It works out fine for those who do live with their parents or for those who have their parents live with them. They go to work while the grandparents look after their children if need be, and the grandparents are happy with that, it keeps them active and gives them a chance to spend time with their grandkids.

Of course, it’s a case by case situation, but here, it’s quite the norms for people or couples to have their parents live with them.

It's true about me. It would depend on the circumstances, but I really want nothing to do with someone elses children. I don't want to be the reason, another man loses time with his children. For this, I understand I will likely be alone the rest of my life.
What if the woman was a widower and her previous husband passed away but they had children.

Would you still reject her?

Single men and women: say you meet a wonderful person, and you connect on so many levels but there is one huge language barrier (say both of you are from different countries) that come with different cultures and traditions, would that stop you from pursuing them further?

Kinda interesting when it talks bout marriage that a man should leave his mother..a woman leave her home and basically make tgier own way..but in the Bible..most of the families WERE extended a couple generations living all together as the norm....maybe the world would all be a different place if we still had these generrational strong binds that lived together..

Men and Women: what’s the first most important thing you look for when meeting a potential partner? It can be anything from appearances, personality, skills, belief etc.

You can only choose one thing.[/Wel

Children are one of the main reasons for children and it says that they are a gift we should never turn down gifts cx especially from someone who cares about you, plus kids are great they are a handful but still great. WHY DON'T PEOPLE LIKE KIDS? tends to be men mainly i think men these days including myself just don't want more responsibilities and kids bring tons of them but that's a foolish reason to not want children especially seeing that we are supposed to die to self so yea just my thoughts or whatevs

Its like the new male lion that takes over a pride of lionesses and cubs..first thing he does is kill all the cubs from the previous male..killing off his seed and so the lionesses come back in heat faster to have HIS babies...so maybe with men its a matter of "pride" and wanting HIS seed tobe his dominant legacy..instead of some other mans kids..(cubs) and yes..i love watching animal shows..lol
