There is NO substitute for a dad living in the home with his wife. I’ve taught for 29 years and the kids from homes like this are just plain ruined. Kids need their mom and dad THERE, not in an apartment across town.
I even set up my schedule so I am home when they get off the bus, telling my employer I wouldn’t coach or run a club. That’s how important it is.
My older boy is headed to Annapolis. I’ve never heard him swear or even get angry. He is an Eagle scout. My younger boy makes straight A’s and is a devout Christian. My daughter (adopted from China) makes perfect scores on everything is the most loving kid imaginable.
I read somewhere that the average gay man lives about 20 to 25 years less than the average heterosexual man. And when I think about it, I have seen very few old homos.

I can think of many examples where the dad living in the home with his wife is the worst thing possible for the kids.
I’m glad your kids get straight A’s and are happy. Mine do too. Ain’t life grand?[/quote]
Study after study shows that the one consistent factor leading to major disadvantage in life was having a single parent in the home. Race, religion, you name it…all irrelevant. It was having a single parent.
I’m glad your kids are fine. Now, what are they up to between say 4:00 and 6:30 pm? What’ll they be doing then when they’re teens? Think about it (and shudder).

Do the right thing. Move back in with your wife.

My parents have never heard me swear either. According to what my mom knows, I don’t do pot, don’t drink and am still a virgin.
I’m not saying your kids are little demons when you aren’t there, but don’t assume you knwo everything about them.

Are you actually claiming that all children would be better off if their parents stayed together, regardless of the health of their parents’ relationship? That is ridiculous, and you know it as well as I do.
Do you think your wife would still want to be married to you if she knew you were gay? Do you think most women would?

Of course not, because the truth is you don’t give shit for the health or happiness of gays. All you care about is spewing about how perverted gays are, because you find gay sex personally disgusting. We get it.
But regardless to what I believe or not, that doesnt change the facts about homosexuals. Ive posted numerous facts throughout this post. Theyre just a mouseclick away.[/quote]
In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism where a person’s personal attributes, unacceptable or unwanted thoughts, and/or emotions are ascribed onto another person or people. According to Wade, Tavris (2000) projection occurs when a person’s own unacceptable or threatening feelings are repressed and then attributed to someone else…[1]
An example of such simple behavior would be: blame for failure, making an excuse for your own faults by projecting the cause of said failure onto someone else, hence blaming them and not accepting the reality of the failure. One would argue that you are projecting the threatening feelings.
Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.

If she were intelligent, I’d suspect that she’d understand that having the father of her children in the children’s lives was a supreme value. Children raised by single moms have innumerable disadvantages.
The only case I could think of where removal of the father would be warranted would be violence or incest. Then, if some scumbag did stuff like that to his kids, he should be shot anyway.

So if someone hates serial killers and wants them buried alive, then this means that someone wants to be a serial killer? Wow, the libs sure create some bizarre defense mechanisms for their perversions and evil.

No but such a someone only has such a strong gut reaction because he is unable to face the murderer within him, and therefore attacks it and wants to physically destroy it in others.

So you would expect your wife to stay with you as the father of her children, knowing that you are gay?
Would you be willing to stay married to a hard core lesbian simply because she is the mother of your children?

…i realise that you are, to a degree, a sociopath and therefore lack the insight into your own, and other’s, psychological functions, but as Orion pointed out, extreme reactions that compels one to act in the opposite manner of situations that trigger such reactions are, more often than not, the result of “unwanted subconscious impulses or desires” that mirror the very act you are fighting against…
In the United States, HIV infection and AIDS have had a tremendous effect on men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM accounted for 71% of all HIV infections among male adults and adolescents in 2005 (based on data from 33 states with long-term, confidential name-based HIV reporting), even though only about 5% to 7% of male adults and adolescents in the United States identify themselves as MSM
Maybe its because I dont live in a big city, but where are all these “heterosexual” men who have sex with other men? Where I am from, that kinda shit just does not happen without the person being an admitted homo.
I don’t think there are many “heterosexual” men who have sex with other men. Why would they? Unless you’re talking about teens experimenting to find out what their sexuality is, I think it would be rare since, unlike gays having sex with the opposite gender, there would be no religious or cultural pressures to do so.

Or maybe where you come from they have learned to be discreet because it is frowned upon?
