Remember in this Stephen King thriller where once the cat and lttle boy were brought back from the dead they were changed? This is the way I see my fwxw sometimes. She is just mean beyond belief and starts cussing like a sailor. She never cussed before her A. I'm going to call it the Pet Semetary Syndrome. Once they've gone wayward, they are changed forever, as much as they try and be a good Christian, the underlying trend is there. Anyone else experience this? DUDE

Well, since you were also a wayward , I think it's important that you place yourself in the Pet Sematary too.

Have you changed "forever" ?

No, I haven't experienced this. I have the exact opposite. My FWH is a better man 100%.

I do believe a wayward may act like your fwxw because they live everyday knowing they have a very ugly side; this brings out the AO. I could never do what my FWH did to me and live with myself. It takes a very ugly person to totally disregard another human being for selfish purposes.

Also, the reason my FWH doesn't have AO is because I don't give him reason to feel bad about himself (although I could). I don't bring up the past (anymore).

My husband was a wonderful man pre-A.

>My FWH is a better man 100%.

Now he's 100x better than 100%.

Infact, his morals have grown so much, he's about to get into trouble at work for it.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Prayers always appreciated.

I just have a soft place in my heart for the brave ones who make bold declarative generalizing statements based upon an anecdotal study using a single subject.

Nothing wrong with being fat, IMO. We are all God's children(apologies to atheists).
