Christmas always depresses me.

What's snow?

I can't imagine you as anything close to a selfish jerk. You have been selfless throughout most of your adult life, to a fault. That should be one worry you cross off your list.

I understand that you can't relay why she was in the hospital, but eek, I just feel like I'm hanging out here imagining the worse! I hope she is back home now, and feeling better. Relationships involve some compromises, just remember the things that are non-negotiable. Love, dignity, respect. If you...

I have to agree, you need to get us up to speed.

And I don't care if you mind if I ask.

I hope everyone has a delightful thanksgiving,.

We will be dining in a nice restaurant with my husband's immediate family. No one has to cook, no one has to clean up, and no leftovers to worry about.

I need to share this, though it’s a bit personal. (OK – since when am I shy about posting personal things? Well, in this case it involves another person, but circumstances dictate I either say it here or not at all. And the second option is simply not OK.) I’ve had a few sessions with my counselor ...

This Myers-Briggs stuff is opening up my eyes and also my wife's. My natural way of being with her is the exact opposite of her natural way of being. In letters, I'm INTP and she is ESFJ. (This is a good site that keeps it all relatively unscientific: http://www.personalitypage.com/ ). The fact is,...

I knew you meant your wife. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

Sorry you are having misunderstandings with your daughter.

I wish only the best for all of you.

On another message board, I had mentioned that I wanted to see as much of the world as I could before I died.

A wonderful friend there sent me this video.

Enjoy

BTW - I banter all the time with my almost 20 year old daughter. Also with my 21 year old son. I've been doing it since they were toddlers. My older son (almost 25) doesn't take it well so I've learned to back off. My wife used to like it, but over time issues we've had have rendered it almost dest...

I also voted yes. It is an unfortunate part of my existance that I find that if I banter on a messageboard with men, it is seen as flirting. Heck, I've even been told to come out of the closet for some of the banter I have had with women.

That being said, I am a flirt.

:D You'll get it right. I have no doubt about it. Your wife wanting to be the only one that truly understands you, is something that you will eventually need to deal with, because you are a treasure that deserves to be shared. That can come later though, getting her to understand you, or at least fi...

Welcome.

The drawing is just lovely. What talent you have!

It seems like at the very least, she enjoys your company. Ask her for a study date or out to lunch.

Trusting your heart to someone can be painful, but it can also be joyful. There is no reward without risk.

I am an Ethan Hawke fan, but it's purely libinous.

I always thought if I had a daughter, I would name her Melissa.

Sounds like you have found at the very least, a wonderful friend. It's wonderful hearing about your journey together.

I'm sure you wanted more input than this, but at least it's a start. I don't really watch t.v...

Healing your marriage is an important part of showing your children what marriage is all about, IMHO.
