I wonder if your kids never mentioning Gretchen is really because they have learnt to avoid the family drama, or they have been manipulated into being deceptive, or the kicker...they really are not all that accepting of Gretchen as you think. They might avoid talking about her because they maybe feel ashamed, that they now have a stepmother close in age to themselves, and hoped you would get the hint. Just a thought.

"Protecting Gretchen ' from what, exactly? You live ' very very far away' .
And your ex is STILL the mother of your children, despite whatever has happened , she has the right to at least know who her children's stepmother is.
It IS a matter of cojones......Of course it is! Poor Gretchen is going to need bigger ones on Sunday than you have right now-, to deal with the situation you are creating for her to walk into on Christmas Day.
Can't you see that?

Dude, you are 45 years old - you need to grow a set and be forthcoming about this with your family. She faced the music how long ago and told her parents that she was going to marry a man almost twice her age and go live in some foreign country with him. He just so happens to be divorced and has children - what a catch! This chick is now your wife, who is knocked-up with your kid. If you don't have the cojones to be a man and face your family with this news, your wife has every right to drop your azz like a hot potato from shame. You don't man-up now, she might not be dropping trou' until frickin' Easter or beyond.

Why don't you learn to think outside the box, just a little bit!...It might prove useful.

Ugh, I'm suddenly reminded of why I no longer post here.

You say that until it's someone close to you - a relative, spouse or child. Of course, if you are an anti-social loner who despises people in general, then there's nobody to care about but yourself because eventually nobody wants to be around that kind of BS.

rj's husband is real - he even plays mafia wars.

I am 150% sure that Maven & Rebecca are not the same person.

Best comment in this topic!

I believe Sousuke is the husband of a CABA woman, and he's posted.
You do know you are sounding increasingly unhinged in your defensiveness.
Besides, I didn't come up with CABA. Someone referred to us Anglophone ladies as "ABC Chicks" and I thought it was rude to exclude the Australians. I merely took an idea and added a little decoration.

My boyfriend's got another forum in which to obsessively post. Besides, we're both American (USA! USA!) so he's said, "Why the hell would I want to go on some immigration site and read posts from a bunch of morons about how hot their foreign wives are, when I got you right here and my own forum to read posts from a bunch of morons on what a pure free market capitalist society would look like? Now, will you go to Walgreens and get me a Coke Zero?"

Kip as the arbiter of what maketh a man -- I can't stop my girlish giggles.
