Can you provide a URL to back up your contention that infidelity is not the national sport of France?

I did Google French Military Victories. It said "no matches found".

Here--->>>URL

Unfortunately, selfish shawlow behavior does not seem to respect national boundaries....and BSs in France are just as hurt as any in another country.

Please share with us the right term.

That URL seems to side-step the question. Oh well. Are you French? Careful how you answer that - you might get bashed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

LOL! You said "national sport" didn't you? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But seriously, no, I am not French. Just worked and lived in various countries, including France, and didn't have the same impression. Actually, I found that no place is more accepting of infidelity than good ol' Corporate America....so no URL, no stats, just empirical evidence.

Did someone mention cognac???? HHHmmmmm, would it be completely and utterly inappropriate to sip a cognac in 90 degree temps???? What the hay! I will have one tonight in celebration of my MB friends...how's that for an excuse to booze?

Did you miss my long winded blabbery? I was out of the internet loop visiting those who are a bit back in time if ya know what I mean. Still out of town but found a wifi spot to hide away in for a bit.

My kiddos are having a blast and being spoiled so what more can I ask at this point. I am being rehab'd from the MVA against my will...I have walked more in the past week than I have in months! I am happy to be alive and wish I could continue to escape reality. My H calls 5+ times/day and texts...I have no idea what is going on in his head since he is calling and texting OW just as much as ever.

I emailed him that I was sad, frustrated and not sure of what i wanted. I told him he should think about what he wants from M, from me and for us before we begin MC next week. Any words of advice of what I should/need to do prior to going? Do I need to list goals etc or should I just wait and see what happens. My gut wants me to draw up a M history, along with my personal goals for MC but then my H would just say I am a control freak and can't even let the MC therapist do their job. I just think it would be helpful and allow the sessions to focus on us and not on our history and multiple issues if I could provide a summary prior to counseling...am I crazy, a controller or do you think this is a good idea? I could have it ready just in case it is requested...???

Pio, I did not stomp the bed with my boot...thought about it but wasn't even worth the effort. At the time I was so tired and depressed I couldn't find the energy. My family has a personal goal of piling weight on me during the visit... the only bonus of infidelity is that I am now finally at my prechildren weight of 115 which no matter how much diet and exercise I have tried in the past I just couldn't peel that last 10 pounds off...so what do they want to do????? Negate the single silver-lining in the whole infidelity nightmare!!!! Go figure.

Todd,
Sounds like you may need to come visit my family...they will wear you out until sleep is a savored delicacy that once you get the opportunity you will be obtunded for days...they will force feed you beyond belief and still insist that you look like a skeleton and need to eat. I hope you are feeling a bit better. Don't worry, your WS has miles to go to compete in the OP olympics with my H!!!!

Kiwi,
Congrats!!!

You all provided a few hours of entertainment for me just trying to catch up!

It appears the community is growing.

I won't have the opportunity to get back on until next week so feel free to have fun at my expense.

Any MC feedback or advice is appreciated.

Luna, I have the same thoughts as you expressed but have shoved them in the back of my mind and will try to be objective to start. I am a realist and know the possibility of this being another cake-eating tactic is very high on the list of possibilities. I hope the counselor we have is hardcore and won't fall for BS and demands transparency to begin...if so, we will be able to judge intentions immediately!

C U all later

oxymoron.

I have a delicious salad dressing recipe that includes Cognac, if anyone is interested...oops, but its a french recipe.

let's have the recipe <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oops. Sorry if my original comment sounded supercilious. Speaking in TimesNewRoman can be damning sometimes.
My feeling was that Hoax implies "consipiracy"...as opposed to just short sighted science.

But the site supports your position in the sense that it calls for better science on the matter...Are you a climatologist?

Hola all <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

*Carefully testing the water with the top of my left foot and looking to all sides in case a champagne bottle a pregnant cow or wet noodles of yesterday chinese dinne flight my way.*

Nobody's home, good, I can lurk the wine cabinets and indulge in the French sin of Savoir Vivre!


Where is the recipe? I take the cognac and all you can have the salad.

Todd, get out of that place as fast as you can.

I am not around much at the moment because I am doing this course.

Thanks for the tip piojito. My computer skills are...ah...limited, but I'd probably be able to manage the cut & paste you spoke of.

Since I'm D & the suspected infidelity is behind me I think I'll let it ride.

I'd like to know for sure though I don't know what that will do for me. I don't respect ex, don't want him back. The only thing I want from ex's gf is to be nice to my boys. ex & gf have to live with themselves. If they want to lie to others about the time line & origins of their R that's their choice. People will see through their lies & make their own judgements. My boys do. When my youngest was just barely 10 he asked if I thought his father was seeing gf before we even mentioned D to them. I mentioned this to then H as I thought he ought to know what YS was thinking. DID NOT go over well. I was accused of putting thoughts & words into YS mouth. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Oldest son & I touched on the subject a couple of weeks ago & it's clear he's considered the idea too.

I guess the fact is infidelity affects us for a long time.

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Kiwi, do you mean he should take his head out of ... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />


Making him angry never fails to make him appear <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It is a conspiracy.

The goal of the conspirators is to change our lives as we know it. Many of the enviro-whackos are socialists hence you see the constituents that comprise the conspiracy populating what at first glance seems like diverse "think tank" groups. They are anti everything that is distantly related to capitalism.

A good example is PETA. Want another one? The Center for Science in the Public Interest. These folks are emaciated vegetarians who are attempting to turn the food industry upside down.

Anyway, I digress.

Yes, you do digress. You know what a bleeding heart liberal I am LOL.

Todd, I mean it. It is not good for you to be in a depressing place and that place sounds like the pits.

Well, it fills a need right now. The need is to be away from DS1FGF. Barf City!

The worse thing about her is that she thinks she can cook. Did I mention she is French? I had recipes for Puerto Rican Arroz Con Gandules and Pasteles. She purposedly omitted the cilantro in the Arroz and added mushrooms and cheese. It was awful. She is French and fancies herself a gourmet cook.

Anyway, DS1 and I both tried to be polite, choke back the tears and say: "It's good." Okay, honestly, I didn't say anything. I spit mine out. I should mention that she is French.

Anyway, it is depressing here and I plan to move as soon as possible.

Notice to all those who worship, savor, favor or otherwise hunger for French food, recipes, cognac, yogurt and tires, this is not my thread, but I think I can speak for Pio that the sole purpose of bringing anything French into a post is to bash France. We will not tolerate any positive mention of France or French.
