I want to get it right, and I love GeorgeH's definition and Liam's original statement too. But as the child of sometimes not-so-amicably divorced parents, I've seen how it goes when the "thin line" is breached. But even though they didn't always manage, my parents tried to respect each other and they always loved myself and my sister. I thank my mother especially for showing us that love for yourself is paramount, and if you have that you can weather nearly anything. I see now that I'm stronger as a product of a divorce than I would have been had my parents stayed together.

but all that aside, I'm looking for a man who subscribes to liam's idea to father my children (well, I'm not taking out ads or anything, but you catch my drift).

Great thread! Beautiful sentiment, liam.
