Great. Keep posting. And please never ever speak to OM again. You owe your family that.

Is normal for a M that one day spouses are talking about divorce, and next day are making love?

Well you dodged a bullet. Mexico City is no place to lose sight of your kids. You need to learn to always be looking and listening for them. My DDs know that this is about the only thing that they can do that will cause me to spank them. They learned a long time ago not to get out of our sight. That is something you need to work very hard on your DD about because Mexico City is an extremely dangerous place. Even gemela won't go there and she is Mexican (and was born there). Some parents keep their children on a leash but I hate that. Makes me think they are treating them like a dog. There are some very inexpensive electronic devices you can get. One part goes on your DD and you carry the other. If your DD gets more than 10m away from you, the beeper goes crazy. I would suggest you look into something like that. A 4YO doesn't understand the danger.
As far as your H and you go, I insisted that whetever we do, we always be consistent with the DDs and never argue about anything in front of them. They should never see us disagree on what they should or should not do. Gemela took a more physical approach to discipline. All I have to do is cross my eyes at them and I achieve the same thing. That is because they know I won't back down.
I also explain things to the DDs. I tell them that if they run off, somebody might steal them and they might never see us again. Now every time we travel they ask "do they steal children here?" "Yes, we have to be careful so stay in our sight."
If you and H are in disagreement as to how to raise your DD, you should sit down, discuss it and come to an agreement but, once you have an agreement, neither one of you should ever break it. I may not be the best father in the world but I am extremely consistent with the DDs. Gemela tended to waiver a bit more depending on her mood.
