Wow I thought for sure that I would have mastered 10 out of 10 but I was 5 for 10. I do have things to work on. Thanks for sharing this info.<BR>cybil

If I had to guess, I would guess that "triangulate" means to bring a third party into the marital relationship, i.e. mother-in-laws, friends or OPs.<P>Before I woke up, I was guilty of 5. My H has been and continues to be guilty of 7, although no longer guilty of triangulation.<P>Newwoman

Thank you, NewWoman.<P>And now knowing the definition of "Triangulate", I am still 6 for 10.<P>My XH was and probably still is 7 for 10 which does include attempted triangulation, he's trying to get me to be his OW. LMAO<BR>Jo<p>[This message has been edited by Resilient (edited August 21, 2001).]

#15 Don't use sex as a weapon.<P>I'm good, but hey, I'm a newlywed, so ask me again in 10 years.<P>In my previous long-term marriage <wince> I used #4 as my tried and true answer to all. Ouch.

hey res #13 huh. Well have 3 wimen in my house, and my razor is rarely where I leave it !!!!!!!!!! Drove me nuts at first, thought I was losing my mind. Finally came to understand that my teenage daughters just like my razor I guess. I don't really mind, it is just a sharp instrument, but dang it, if they would only just put it back where I left it.<P>I am pretty good, only can claim a few, unfortuneately one of em is #10, which probably counts for for triple or sumtin.

Okay...how bad was I? Though I didn't have an affair, I guess I did involve other family members in our marriage...soooo the only one in the list I WAS NOT guilty of is #6...<P>Cr@p...<P>The good news is four months later, I am now only guilty of #4!!!!<P>The moral of the story is that if you put your mind to it, you can change!<P>Cali
