This woman you hate left her country and came to the US for a better life. Even doing so illegally, THAT takes a lot of guts.
Being a bankteller is a respectable job. Would you rather she be a hooker or a stripper???

No, that isn't what you are saying. You are belittling the job. Does this job not pay the bills?
Even when you have a college degree, jobs aren't always easy to come by. Especially ones that might be family friendly.

Nahh, not in love with either of those 2. I feel pangs every once in awhile about X#1. Just not love pangs, more like a little regret. We were good friends in high school, not anymore.
X#2, I don't think I was ever in love (truly). I got caught up in the romance of it all. The romance didn't last long, reality set in at month 2 then I woke up and realized that I didn't even like the person I was married to. I got out of it pretty fast after that.
And as far as SAHM thing goes, its not for everyone. I'm going to do it. I'm excited, my kids are excited, my SO is excited. So what if someone's SO wants to financially support them. Why even mention it? Are you jealous or something?

I am not in love with my ex.... I do love him since he is my daughter's father... but I've always cared about what he thinks..... I am that way with most people in my personal life. I think it boils down to me always trying to make my mother happy growing up and I am just wired that way.

I think that's the way it should be. But there is a HUGE difference between someone who was in love with their mate, married and had a child. Or even if the child came first and then they married. I could see LOVING your ex then in some way, shape or form.
As for the others that 'hooked up' a few times--- and there was no love- there was just stupidity then the love isn't going to be there. And I would BET money that you will see the difference between the kids that come from relationship #1 and relationship #2 in divorced families.
My DH hooked up with BM a few times, he broke up with her because he realized he was rebounding after a broken engagment and she wasn't what he wanted. 2 months later she said she was pregnant. They married because they were pushed into by his Christian family and her Catholic family. They have NEVER loved one another, I'm not sure they ever even liked one another.
My DH is a very successful, intelligent and mild mannered man. BM is the EXACT opposite. My SD is a mess and I think partly because her parents don't get along, they couldn't give a sh!t about each other and even though DH doesn't show it (although BM does), you can absolutely see there is NO love there and never has been. Ever.

It isn't always easy to come the US legally. While it isn't right that people come here illegally, after dealing with immigration when I was married, I understand why people do what they do and come here illegally.
If this woman came to the US and was dealing drugs, stripping or hooking, I would wonder why she came. But I don't believe she is involved in any of those activities.
