I am not TBM, in fact I have resigned officially, but can't do that either, because my 5 TBM kids would never speak to me again- setting such a bad example for all of my grandkids, the oldest turning 15 today. I know what would happen.
I thought the same thing back in the 90's when I got into a rebound marriage after my divorce. I felt like I had to be married to the guy so that my kids wouldn't think I was a bad role model. Well, It was a big mistake.
My kids have come to realize that their mother needs and deserves to have someone in her life and if that includes intimacy, then so be it. I'm engaged and living with a man and have been doing so for several months. They know I'm happy, and what they tell their children is up to them. I have certainly not been kept out of their lives because of my living arrangement.
When my kids have walked in my shoes, let them decide what I can and can't do with my life.
And I must add--if we keep trying to please our kids, it will never work. If it wasn't mormonism, it would be something else. At some point, I had to decide to live my life by my own truth--just like I give them the right to do.

U gotta give her a break here. Playing house has enough of its own pitfalls. Just ask Judge Judy. She still invited for some a dis what I got if she need an out. ;)
“Marie’s children fear she’s heading for an emotional breakdown now that Stephen is out of her life. Everyone hopes she’ll come around before it’s too late and she loses Stephen forever.”
Oh, she's TBM to the core: can't sustain a marriage because she has a career (such as it is) but can't not be married. What a disaster of an example of any kind of womanhood!
Who is she currently sealed to and how many temple dissolutions has she had. Yea, Marie. Finally a woman got to practice serial polyandry. The last I've ever read about (in stuff from the Tanner's) was Emma. Way to go!
Marie Osmond is living proof that Mormonism changes nothing. She has the same heartaches and setbacks as everyone else. I can understand why she wanted to re-kindle an old love. That thought crosses all of our minds at some time. Her religion is of no help, which makes me believe it is useless.
This is all so funny to me because I remember what a big deal the church made over her first wedding. I think a GA did it, temple of course, for time and all eternity. Such a publicity stunt. And it all fell apart, like the rest of Moism. I'm sorry for her, being raised in it, but by now she should have figured out the truth.
