ok, you'd think after 3 years here i would know better than to watch a movie with FOG in the title. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

i am referring to THE HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG. checked it out, watched the previews...nothing, not one reference to an affair. BAMMMM...WAS I WRONG. i had no clue. caught me totally off guard. do not watch it. it killed me to see.

i want infidelity warnings on movies.....and i think it is ohmymarie who has the theory going that all big hit movies have infidelity and throwing up in them----SHE'S RIGHT!!!

just a warning--good weekend all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

it anint---but thanks for asking. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

we have been to the counselors four or five times now---over a month and a 1/2 and all ive gotten is one phone call other than the perverbial check in, and one date for coffee before one of our sessions.

he goes and just sits and the counselor lets him. he(the counselor) directs all the questions and problems at me---like im the one who wrecked this marriage. (i know i had a hand in it---thats not what i mean) his stock answer---when he has one--is there isnt time. mine is he found time for what he wanted--it just wasnt me.

so i go and do everything the counselor says and i am just spinning my wheels. my deadline is this summer to call it quits---son will be out of school so hopefully i can re-adjust him before he goes back. this is gonna totally devastate him.

he just doesnt get it.....i almost feel sorry for him. he is soooo emotionally screwed up---but wont do anything to fix it.

so my friend--that is my updat---i am still alone 98% of the time and beginning to re-learn how to live. im doing ok

and how are you---i so wish i could go to one of your get-togethers---maybe someday......

nikko,

I am sorry to hear that. However knowing that you have done your best and you could walk away w/ no regret is the best that you could gain from this life experience.

Not all M worth saving and not all M should be save. Having MB knowledge is very dangerous to anyone, since we know that there is a way to reach fullfilling M !.

Me ?. I was trying a new R but stumbbled recently <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> . I put everything on the table . I present me, what I am, could and would do. However she has issues on her own ... she was confused and not convinced that her political view would be on the way. She was fallin a bit and pullin a bit ... I was tired and she blew up on one of our argument and put NC between us. No big deal since I was attracted to her and I know I could fall in-love w/ her but I wasn't go there unless I knew she is willing.

Now I am taking it easy, no gals/dates. Summer is coming anyway and it is a hectic schedule w/ my 2 D's roller skating. I am good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> . I know someone out would value my best and willing to protect & cherish my love for her <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> . I am in no hurry.
