Steve, you're putting yourself out as a teacher. You are in a position to affect many families for generations to come. That carries a lot of responsibility.
Do you think you are a victim because people are disagreeing with you, i.e., "exposing our differences openly"?
If you are not a victim, why do you need to "forgive" us?
You invited people to discuss this. Now they are discussing it.
You are embarking on a risky social
experiment with your family, knowing,
admitting, that it may end in divorce. Children of divorce have many difficulties.
You are doing this because you want to have sex with other women. Do you chose to risk putting your children through a lot of pain so you can have sex with other women? Is that a snapshot of your priorities?
You said it was a mistake to marry Erin. Does it follow, then, that your children are also a mistake?
You are putting a lot on the line to satisfy your sexual desires.
You don't have to believe me, but you don't get do-overs with your children's childhoods, however much you may someday wish you could.
