FF

as a BS I went through this stage too. I literally could not touch AW without feeling sick. It was like yuck dont get near me. Total disgust.

I wasn't angry at the time, more depressed and feeling very much second choice.

HOWEVER, because I was here believer and few others slapped me around a bit - gently - and pushed me to go with AW to the MC sessions.
Oh I didn't want to because it wasn't me that cheated SHE did it ALL, what do I need this for it is all her her her (of course true BUT who could show me how to feel better, work on our M so it wouldn't happen again???)

I dont think I had truly made up my mind to stay back then. I was one moment wantng to forgive and the next kick her tramp a$$ out on the kurb.
She broke it she can damn well fix it I think I said here a number of times!!

I really think IC/MC made the difference and it was good IC/MC as well. Had a heap of baggage from the first tour in 'Stan - A1 [censored] in fact. It didn't matter what caused my PP behaviour it just was and had to be addressed.
No wonder she felt she could not talk to me.

Now do I think I would have done it without IC/MC - perhaps but my guess is I would have failed. It was hard enough with help.

He really needs IC/MC regardless.

Would he talk to any of us BS here do you think??? I'd be willing, sure others would too.

Well, since the thread isn't moving much right now, I'll throw my own little funny in there -

What's the difference between erotic and kinky?

Erotic is when you use a feather, Kinky is when you use the whole chicken!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

My idiot moment today. Son is watching "Mary Poppins" and started talking about the black man on there. I got all ready to give him a PC speech before realizing that he's talking about the chimney sweep.

Ya'd think I'd have learned by now. There have been a hundred mentions of the purple girl, the brown boy, etc over the year and I still freak out over them sometimes.

Maybe I should clarify. He names people according to the colors of their clothing.

Hehehe...That's really cute, Dobie!! I had a similar experience with colorful people...
(edited to add: my son did the same thing)

When my son was about 3 or maybe 4, he invented all these people in his life, his "Uncle John", "Miss Mary", and his "Black Grandpa". He had the most creative stories to tell about these people, but the one he liked the most was Grandpa. He'd tell about how Grandpa picked him up from "school" (daycare) and took him to get a milkshake, or nuggets and fries, etc. And, what was better, he told EVERYBODY about his "Black Grandpa".

Well, this was all well and good, because he also had a purple chicken, and a green girlfriend, so, no big deal. Until...

Bit of history to insert b/c without it, the story doesn't make sense: My dad and I had a bit of a disagreement a few years before my son was born...and he said some things, and I said some things, and he said some things, and we agreed it would be better if we went our seperate ways for a while, so, it took us years to iron it all out...Fast forward to when things are getting better, Dad and I are making REAL progress in re-building our relationship. Add to that, that my Dad's job kept him out of town for a couple of weeks at a time, so we didn't get to see him but about twice a month. OK, so back to the "story"...

We had tried to encourage our son to be a little more realistic with his stories, and give real details, without stiffling his imagination, and thought we were making progress until this special day, when our Son is telling one of his "big fish" stories, about all the things his "friends" and he have been doing. So, we get to my dad's house, get out of the car, and Son runs up to my dad and yells to me "See, I told you I have a black Grandpa, this is him!!"

You could have knocked me over with a feather, and it took several minutes for my dad to shut his mouth. I don't know if my dad ever believed that we weren't saying all sorts of "nasty's" about him behind his back, but, I will say we all get a good laugh out of it now. We were able to figure out that our son had associated the fact that my dad always wore black t-shirts, always wore a black ball-cap, and drove a black pick-up truck, so, Son's way of distinguishing him from his other Grandpa was to call him his "black Grandpa". True enough, when my dad was in town, he did pick the kids up from daycare and take them to McD's - it happened about once a month...Oh, out of the mouths of babes!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Smart is just not the word for it!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

My youngest (3yo D) is very different from the other two - and she is smart as a whip! From her early days of talking, you could tell her a sentence, and she'd repeat it, except she'd change the structure of the sentence to be the correct "person".

Our favorite was when we'd run through the house and tell her "nyah, nyah, nyah, you can't catch me"

And she'd return with "nyah, nyah, nyah, I can't catch you"

It was SO funny to hear, and rather true, and that somehow made it funnier -
I thought we'd NEVER get her to repeat the words we were saying...

UGH!!! What are they feeding kids these days??!!!

A young punk gets on a bus and sits down in directly across from an old man.
The young punk has spiked green, purple and orange hair. His clothing is a tattered mix of leather rags. His entire face and body are covered with piercings and his earrings are big, bright red, yellow and green feathers.

The old man stares at the young punk as the bus travels across the city.

Finally, the punk looks across at the old man, and yells, "What are you looking at, old man! Didn't you do anything wild when you were young?"

Without missing a beat, the old man replies, "Yeah. Back when I was very young and in the Navy, I got really drunk in Singapore and had sex with a parrot... I thought you might be my son."

This is for A2:

A guy walks into a bar with his dog on a leash the barman says, “Geez that's a weird dog: he's stumpy-legged, pink, and doesn't have a tail, but I bet my rottweiler would beat the heck out of it.”
50 bucks is laid down. Out in the yard the rottweiler gets mauled to pieces.

Another drinker says his pit bull will win but the bet is 100 bucks.

Another trip to the yard and when it's all over there are bits of pit-bull terrier all over the place. The drinker pays up and says, “Say what breed is that anyway?”

The owner says, “Until I cut his tail off and painted it pink it was the same breed as every other alligator.”

Oddly enough, that made me miss my Rottie.

I've reached a point in MB that I trigger harder over the dog we lost 9 months ago than I do over A stuff. Somehow that seems like a good thing, but I can't explain why.
