I understand the point being made, but don't knock gruel.

There is no ethical consumption.

"What, me worry?"

Jesus you people are so insecure. And I have relevant childhood trauma. Work on your shit.

Nothing says he can't just go home early, Mr Moneybags won't mind if there is an extra fee.

If you view spending time with your son in the Maldives as a chore getting foisted off on you, then yes, you certainly should not go. Or really even have a lot of contact with any of them.

This isn't FOR the wife. It's FOR the child. The wife doesn't get anything out of this. It isn't rewarding her. Do you think SHE wants the ex there?! This is just broken thinking. It's not anyone's job to teach the wife "the right lessons" or make sure she doesn't get rewarded for the wrong thing. I think you are covering for more primitive motivations.

Good advice. I have cultivated a positive relationship with my metamour and it makes a big difference.

I'm opposed to human reproduction. But maybe I adopted. I'd go if I thought I could cope emotionally. I feel like a lot of things would be better after such an experience, it could be genuinely positive for you and your child. Get two rooms, have the kid stay with you. But maybe just for a week. Three weeks, seriously? Get unnecessary room service every day.

No one has ever used GDP as a metric for "societal health."

They made a Jaguar game once. That's about it.
