LOL........K Pep, I have to agree with you here.

As a trauma surgeon I am not comfortable with sloooooowwwwwww changggggggges (although I think it is extremely debatable whether there have been any changes at all) , hence my bias here....and "umcomfortableness" with this situation...once again, this is my problem. Good points all around.

Wouldn't be ok for me to live like this, but so what...? I don't have to live with the decisions he (ole 2long) makes and lives with, so in essence all I can really say is best of luck to him.

Some people just don't get it, they don't get it that they don't get it.

I had the right to remain silent.......but I didn't have the ability.

I don't think we disagree, Sour Dude. It's just that I think I understand where he's coming from, and can't swear I wouldn't feel the same way.

Pep:

True. From my post 2 gc's thread about "You might be a geologist if:"

'4. You consider a "recent event" 2 be anything that has happened in the last hundred thousand years.'

And that describes the terrestrial kind. Where I "work", "recent" is more like the last several hundred million years.

Time is on my side.

I consider recent to be within the last 5 minutes. Past that......... now what were we talking about?

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Ya know, 2 long...with all due respect, this is a weak post by you. Says to me...."well, I will just do what the wife wants to do here, I am too old and lazy to find another woman, so I will continue sitting on the sidelines hoping the coach puts me into the game, or that the game ends, which ever comes first"....


I must have missed this before...wished I had missed it now.

What a disrespectful, hurtful and untrue statement to make. Did I say disrespectful and UNTRUE.

2long has not been sitting around in fear and inaction. He has been trying to change the dynamics of a marriage which he was half a part of for a very long time before his WW's affair. He has a lifelong marriage and friendship, and two kids and possible future grandkids to consider...

That statement of yours really ticks me off.

You are clueless in his sitch.

Have you even read about DJ's on this site?

Edited to add:

And every time he comes here to get some advice on the reconciliation process (his wifes affair has ended you know), he gets a bunch of crap instead of the advice and ideas he seeks.

My opinion only, but if someone chooses a path, who the heck are we too constantly tell him it is the wrong path instead of helping him to reach his goal, using the path he has chosen.
