Husband was unfaithful to me before and after our marriage, at least 7 times. I found out 13 yrs into the marriage. Trickle truth for an entire year. Several different d-days, so it was more like a d-year. Difficult recovery.

Next time you go to a bar, ask for a Guinnes on tap and watch the bartender pour it. There's a whole ritual to it. I believe they even have a school to teach them the finer art of pouring Guinness. One of the barmaids I know used to draw a shamrock on top while pouring.

The best part is, not many bartenders know how to make a Duck Fart. So you sidle up to the bar, and order a Duck Fart.

When the bartender says....


"How do you make a Duck Fart"



You casually say....


"Uh...You step on his tail"

Oh wait.....I forgot about the enmeshment.

Dang...can't find it in Websters. I don't think I spelt it right....I'm still looking.

About Interpersonal Enmeshment

In human relationships, this term means two or more people who don't have clear identities and boundaries (limits) that separate one person from the other. Thus an enmeshed person can't distinguish the difference between my needs, feelings, opinions, and priorities and yours. This condition suggests both people survived a low-nurturance childhood and have significant false-self wounds.

Enmeshment ranges from mild to extreme. It is the polar opposite of two people being independent - meaning neither has a strong bond with (emotional attachment to) the other. A middle option is an interdependent relationship, where each person has a clear, stable identity and personal boundaries, and a healthy bond with the other. These promote relating together as co-equal partners out of conscious choice, vs. unconscious compulsion ("I can't live without you!")

Two adults ("Nina and Jose are joined at the hip") , a parent and a minor or grown child ("Mel's a Momma's Boy"), two children ("The twins are inseparable") or whole families may be enmeshed. Some people feel enmeshment is the same as the relationship addiction called codepen- dence. Personal identities and boundaries can be intentionally clarified and strengthened by self-motivated "parts work," which is half of co-parent Project 1 in this nonprofit, wound-prevention Web site.

U R BAD LaLa.....lol......

W2S......that is sooo funny. I found the exact same article just now! I wuz gettin ready to cut and paste it here.

So now I need to mull it over a bit.

One thing I already do know is that I do have my own personal identity. Heck, Windstopped and I weren't even a couple really until the last year. He did his own thing and I did mine. So I know that's out.

I'll be back.
