Well - it's a process; or a 'back & forth'; or an evolution; or something that explains how things are said when we're in one mood, and taken back at another time. She clarifiied her statements to say that if all this time she felt the respect from me that she felt was missing, then she may not have...

That is a remarkable picture; may I ask where you got it from? The clarity and brightness make it look almost CGI - and yet it's too detailed and precise. I have never seen a picture of a city at night that crisp and clean - but maybe Tokyo has all American cities beat in that regard. It certainly l...

Thank you Pockets. "Karma" or whatever it is has some basis. Actually, it's the fact that our minds can process much more than we are aware - and sometimes things "happen" that seem good fortune that really are just us being receptive to things that are around us all the time. What do I mean? I don'...

Without getting too specific - she loves her job, and is very well respected for it at work, in our community, and by me.

Yes - my wife works full time.

I appreciate the suggestion of medication, but that's a bit too personal to go into on the board.

I need to clarify, though you may realize it: My "Charlotte" expereince was an emotional (not physical) affair - a deep friendship (so I thought) that turned out somewhere to result in her ("Charlotte") despising me. My wife worried at the time that I was wanting to get a divorce - she admits someti...

I truly appreciate all the support. It means very much to me. Somehow the words sound perfunctory - typing doesn't show sincerity, but it is really there. We are at a critical point - finally. It's best that I not spend time venting here and let this process work. Hopefully, this can be the last one...

There was an issue with my oldest son, his girlfriend, and jealousy (insecurity) of her continued friendship with an ex-boyfriend. My wife understood his feelings and essentially felt he was right to object. His friends understood his feelings and essentially felt he was right to object. Her friends...

Every now and then...

Every now and then I get a glimpse of what it could be like. I hear Donovan Leitch playing in my head:

"Can I believe what I see? All I wished for will be!"

And then the next day it's cruelly taken away.

I agree. And in all this I can only wonder about her parents. I don't know her situation - if she has a father and mother that she is close to, or just her mother, or neither. No close friends - not hangers-on, but friends? I'm just not in a good frame of mind and I'm feeling a bit of annoyance or i...

I had read what he had to say on the matter, and I respect his point of view. Certainly I don't wish for bad things to happen to her; it's just that she knowingly and willingly created a public image for herself that doesn't lend itself to sympathy or empathy. At least not in the frame of mind I'm i...

Thank you so much, Ith! I want to say so much more - but thank you will have to do for now. OK - the problem is a catch 22; I don't like being with her right now; she resents the fact that we don't/can't spend enjoyable time together. She says she's changed so much (and she really, truly has) but th...

Interesting point. There have been times I wanted to delete many of my posts; I really don't know how other boards handle this. I've only participated in 3 "social" forums - though I've at times posted on technical forums or finance related websites. I think once people get past a certain part of th...

No - renewing vows at this point woudl be near meaningless. In all honesty, I've fantasized about doing that one day when this is all resolved - but to do it prematurely would just be another in my pattern of enabling the behavior I object to. By the way - I may be venting alot, but I'm not Jewish. ...

Divorce still says to me "I give up". I'm not there yet. I may be at some point; in fact, if things are the same say two years from now I know I will be there. But we still have to face the key issues that we have pushed off for months. The fact is - no one (not even my kids) will truly understnad a...

Thanks, Ith. Last night's session was hopefully a move in the right direction. We are each going to compile a short list of issues we feel are central to our unhappiness. Then we will share it with each other and discuss at our next meeting. What is amzing to me still is that in fighting going to co...

I'm getting tired of the public problems of celebrities

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood becuase of my own problems - but I'm really getting tired of two things: the public problems of celebreties and the fact that America (and other countries I suppose) pay such an absurd amount of attention to them. The issues that child stars face is not a new thing by an...

Divorce is an option I've raised several times - but since she is willing to see the counseling through (after fighting it for so long) I've not metioned that. By the way, when I said she is trying to change so many things- I meant that she is trying to change the things that SHE does that we've dis...

A quick 'vent'

It was a horrible weekend. I think the issue is pretty basic - after all the stress we've had in our relationship over so many years, I really don't like being with her. She is trying to change so many things - and yet we have so little in common that most conversations turn to arguements; and those...
