Leadership527,
I some regards I simply get it, that many people have not felt compelled to fit into the norm of what you have. The whole 2.5 kids, a house, a wife, a couple of cars, and being in the middle class. I understand that some people have avoided this type of life like the plauge.
However, some of us have gone through painful things, such a divorces and other series of events. Some of us have been there were you are at, even above it, and have lost it all or walked away from it all.
Personally, I've been up/down a ladder of life. From having not much of anything, to having it all, then not having it all. In fact a couple of times this has occured in my life.
I can not speak for everybody on here, however some of us, have in fact wanted to have the stability that you managed to achieve. However, it's not always been so easy in our grasp. Perhaps poor choice of relationship partners, time to pack it in on all the material bullshit and that kind of stability for the sake of our own mental sanity.
In many regards your posting can be taken as a sort of dig or rub it in your face type of posting.
Beware of hidden pain that you might have provoked with a post such as this. For instance I have twin daughters that I'm not an everyday father too. Was not married to their mother, and well. It's something that I'm not totally happy, proud about and geee... I'm sorry dude, not all of us have had the Leave it Beaver life, with June the wife, two kids, and everything else along with it. Some of us had to give up houses and home in the middle of seperations/divorces. Have had our dreams broken into 10,000 little pieces...
Your post is almost a sort of insult to injury, or risks being taken as such to some of us. I just thought I'd share a little insight as to how your posting can be taken.
I don't believe it was your intent for your posting to be taken in this fashion... because some people swear off what you have as being the so called conventional life. I have known people in my life that have vowed to never fall into the norms and make what you have as part of their aspirations. Some of us though, these things are broken painful dreams... Your post just serves as painful reminder for some people...
