Believer!

HOW MANY buttons should he leave undone at the neck of his shirt?

Is 2 enough?
Is 3 too many?

Yep, sounds yummy. Dang Pep, all these men are looking good. A close shave, Yikes!

You go Hopeful. I am starting to like your wife. I have heard over and over here that the WS would give the BS everything, but most do not. They change their minds.

Don't know what will be your ending, but I am fairly confident that you and your wife will be back together again.

So cowboy up, and give it your best shot.

How about 2 buttons-3 shows too much. You don't think she might be, for lack of a better word, horny?

Hopeful - You look good to me, in fact GREAT. Hope you have a good night with your wife. She can't keep this up much longer.

Believer, I bet she can. Especially if OM sends her money like he has done in the past. Well see how the night goes. It's 5 o'clock and she hasn't called. She might not call who knows. OM is supposed to be a boy scout function with his son this weekend. OM's wife told me earlier in the week. I am a little nervous but not much.

I know I am not supposed to do this. But I participated in a United Way golf tournament yesterday. And one of our friends, a very attractive widow, was there. She came up and spoke to me for several minutes. I know she knows our situation. No flirting just small talk. But she is a hell of a woman.

Well it's 8:30 and she hasn't called. So I guess I'm being Planned B. Glad I didn't shave and get dressed up. Oh well, I will watch a little football and go to bed.

Hopeful -

Well that was a big letdown.

Also it is a little early to be checking out other women. What if you get in a relationship and your wife wants to come back?

But they are out there and will be sniffing around. Word travels fast, and next thing everyone will be trying to fix you up.

Believer, your right it is way too early to be checking out other women. But the attention was great and made me feel good. Not like my wife who invites me for a beer then doesn't call. I know better and I will exercise good judgement after the Jerry Springer Show is over.

That's what all the men say here. Then they get with someone and they're a goner.

But you are doing fine. Too bad your wife is so foggy.

Are you going to tell OM's wife if he buys your wife a car? Have you told her about MB?

yeS i HAVE TOLD Om'S wife about MarriageBuilers. She even had him fill the EN questionaire. My wife and he made fun of the results in an email. Said they were a better match. So if he buys he a car she will know as soon as I know. She and I have been comparing notes since May(DDay).

It is easy to say you can meet someone's emotional needs when you are far away and don't have to go through the day to day drudgery.

I think if OM was going to leave his wife, he would have done so by now.

Are you going to do something fun today, or wait around for your wife?

Hopeful -

Do go out, and be unavailable for her. She will just give some some stupid excuse of why she didn't make it last night.

At first it is not real comfortable going out, but the more you do it, the better it will feel. You need to purposefully start designing a life without your wife.

I do think she will come back to you, so no sense sitting around being miserable. I did that for too long - what a complete waste.

And by the way - charity events are great - helping others is a nice way to feel good about yourself again.

I have to bake a cake for a United Way auction tomorrow. I am inexperienced to say the least. Any suggestions?

Just go buy a box mix and follow directions.

Everybody likes chocolate!

I'ld give you some good recipes but if you are inexperienced, what is the point?

Just buy a box, add egg's and milk or something like that. They have those neat box mixes that even have the frosting included and you only need to use one square pan! What could be easier.

Good luck! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Actually that was what I was planning a box mix. I can scramble an egg but I haven't done much cooking. But hey I will give anything a try. Wish me luck. Chocalate cake with frosting.
