A sad story -
I just spoke with a young Trad man whose wife just left him. She is filing for divorce, child support, etc. She took their 2 kids, 1 still a newborn, and moved back in with her parents. She has also gone back to the Novus Ordo. They had been married for 3 or 4 years.
What caused it? I didn't get a chance to hear the whole story, but he said that her parents were micro-managing and interfering in his family. This is extremely dangerous for any relationship. Parents need to respect the head of the house -- the father -- whether that is their son or their son-in-law. Sure, it might be challenging for some parents to let go, but TOO BAD. Do it for your son or daughter's sake -- and the sake of your grandchildren! Intact, functional families are beneficial for all parties concerned, including society as a whole.
I just can't believe the insanity. Just another example of how the Novus Ordo milieu is NO DIFFERENT FROM ANY RANDOM SAMPLING OF THE MODERN WORLD: ex-wives, ex-husbands, divorce, "experience" with multiple partners, single moms, and all that crap.
Only whores (male and female) and the occasional widow/widower should ever be able to compare what it was like being with this person vs. that other person. But today, almost every adult has experience of 2+ sɛҳuąƖ partners. It's ridiculous. And now the Novus Ordo is getting in on the game too. This is NOT natural, by the way. Promiscuity creates difficulty in bonding. Humans weren't meant to emotional/psychological bond with a series (large or small) of partners.
(Side note: in the case of widows or widowers who get remarried, it is still completely different. You still don't have anyone else on earth who has "been with you". You won't have those awkward moments where 2 people in the same room have both been with you carnally -- which happens all the time in the world when a man has to drop off his children at his ex-wife's house and her new boyfriend is there. That is an ugly situation that God doesn't want anyone to ever have to experience. Think about it - it would never happen if people followed God's law.)
And on a strictly human level, men don't like raising another man's child. Children from past marriage(s) are a living reminder that your spouse used to be with another person carnally -- a thought which is disturbing to most men (and probably women too). This unfortunately applies to widow/widower situations too, but it's true that marrying a widow/er is a special calling; not something 100% of people are up for. But nevertheless, there are plenty of singles who would consider marrying a widow/er -- after all, it's humanly speaking very difficult to be jealous of the dead. The ex-spouse being deceased means the surviving spouse can never "go back" to that spouse, etc. The dynamic is totally different from divorce/remarriage.
Here is an analogy: Consider that the Greeks were pagan without rejecting Christ, whereas neo-pagans have to explicitly reject Christ. So the Greeks could be some kind of virtuous pagans, not knowing any better, whereas today that's not possible since it involves being hostile to Christianity, which is known to the whole world. In a similar manner, a widow/er who has several children and remarries can be genuinely positive about the deceased spouse, who the children are part of (50%). It's impossible to truly honor and love the ex-spouse you divorced and continue to be separated from. Some divorced couples make a good show of getting along, but it's hard to convince your children that you love them completely when you reject living with the father/mother of your children. You can say he is a great guy all day long, but the kids can ask, "then why don't you want to live with him anymore?" there's always a certain element of rejection -- of that ex-husband as well as the children who are 50% from him.
And of course children don't like this -- divorce messes them up, you have the whole "you're not my dad/mom!" and all that.
Not to mention the Feminist angle: quickness to take away a child's dad, "single moms rule", raking men over the coals to drain them dry financially, undermining a man's authority in the home and everywhere else, etc.
