Thanks Niamh

It's just my experience with some of the men in my life, one being my own dad, one being my dad in law, one being my brother-in-law, and one being my friends ex husband.

It seems with these men they just aim to please their new partners and to hell with everyone else, the sad thing is that ultimately they have missed out on their families (whether they be children or grandchildren).

And sadly they will end up very lonely old men, i'm a big believer in you reap what you sow.

Indeed. I guess why I'd be so adamant in putting the blame on the dad rather than the new wife is because as a parent I could never imagine someone influencing my relationships with my kids in a negative way like that.

I know what you mean Niamh, it's because we're women!

I always say to my hubby, "if you should ever meet anyone else, please always put our girls first"

I ask this of him because i also don't understand how as a parent you can turn your back on your kids regardless of their ages.

And with me being on the receiving end, i know how devastating it is not to have a parent in my corner.

aww I don't know about that. My husband is an amazing dad, I know there's no way he'd ever put anyone before his kids ever. He also has a son from a previous relationship

I shouldn't make such a sweeping generalisation on this forum

My hubby is fantastic and i know he'd be there for our girls, and my hubby's grandad is always there for all his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren!

I think the men i refer to have trouble living without a woman, so they need to keep them sweet, and that's where the trouble begins, because then the woman can rule the man.
