Why do you feel the need to always remind us of how you are raising your kids, of what you teach them, of what they are able to do, of all the things you do for your wife and she does for you? Aik had hoti hai. You are not the only married person and parent on this forum, but the others don't harp on and on about it as you do. Cooking, cleaning and laundry had absolutely nothing to do with Reha's posts. The matter being discussed was a woman's willingness to discuss her past and this has no relevance with upbringing of kids, yet you went off on that tangent again. Displaying pride in your family from time to time is fine, but this is excessive.

There is nothing you can say that I can appreciate, so please exercise your discretion to stay away from my postings, why the obsession.

I'm not looking for your appreciation or validation. I don't care for it. Nor was I rude to you, but you have taken it that way. I simply said that you go off on the family and children tangent often...even when it's not relevant to the discussion at hand.
I didn’t read knights post that way. He may not have worded it exactly as others may want. But so what? I get his point. Use of spew is “flawed” wording. And that is ok. Just as knights choice of “flawed” wording is ok.
Respectfully disagree. In fact I cringed reading such unnecessary rudeness.
Respectfully, the rudeness is nothing but deserved. For whatever reason the thread was started, whether it be to genuinely express an opinion, or to just rile people up for entertainment's sake, it is quiet frankly the most infuriating and condescending thing ever posted. Hero complex aside, the OP has reduced the entire woman population to either spoilt princesses who are only appreciated and appreciative once they are abused and have another perspective in life, or they are a stray puppy waiting to be rescued by the likes of the OP. As a female I find it extremely rude and offensive. This is not about expressing a viewpoint, this is all about flaunting the "good" and amazing he thinks he's accomplished in his life.
And let's assume honey really exists. Which self respecting man talks about his wife like that? Is this the way he introduces her to others?
'Hey you all, this is my wife. She was abused and raped in her previous marriages and I saved her blablabla'.
She must be one proud lady to hear that about herself everytime. That too by her beloved husband. The one who is ought to keep her respect and dignity.
With the risk of being called a bully again by Southie (and others), I will repeat: OP is just very bad at trolling. And with 'bad' I mean very very very very bad.
Most if not every thread starts with either a fictional scenario or made up statistics, followed by flaws of religious or typical desi people, and ending with him praising himself on how civilized, sophisticated (though his posts prove otherwise) progressive, caring and a gem of a husband and dad he is.
Even when there is no link to his post, he will casually mention how his kids already know how to canoe, socialize with everyone and survive in the jungle Rambo style,

The writing style may come across as patronizing. But folks started attacking rather than just look at the message. IMO. I think in post 1 OP was simply trying to get the message across that maybe folks should consider marrying women who may have had unfortunate experience. I did see lots of sarcasm in page 1. Such as (I am paraphrasing) "I wouldn't start with battered woman if looking for a bride". That type of responses framed subsequent posts in this thread.

southie, the first few posts in this thread highlighted and addressed the issue of what OP is going on about, and subsequent posts agreed with this. it was actually done in a calm way, no disrespect there. now once OP started replying back to these posts, and in a pretty trollish way, what do you expect members to do? waste their time typing out serious/legit advice? why? ain't nobody got time fo dat. let it go, OP obviously wanted this reaction.
I read only page one. And replied to one post in page 1. And read couple posts just following my reply. My read from page 1 is a bit different from yours. I detected sarcasm from the get go. What typically happens is such posts elicit response. Which lead to more sarcasm. Leads to runaway.
I have wondered why some folks go after OP. But somehow miss posts that are far more offensive. Such as posts that are consistently homophobic. This kind of feeding frenzy would be more warranted (IMO) if directed towards such posts.
But some of the enthusiastic knight detractors are strangely missing when it comes to homophobic posts.
