My rant for the evening!

Waywards believe we're gullible - stupid even.

Politicians believe we can't see their blindingly partisan pontifications for what they are - pure, unadulterated BULL!

Both gaslight their audience. Some buy the bull. Others don't know how to call them on their crap. Others don't miss a thing, blow the doors off exposing them both to be the liars, thieves and skulking creatures that they are.

Can you tell I've read one too many gaslighting threads tonight - where the betrayed spouse is one more time expected to believe as the God's Sworn Truth what the wayward is spinning. Couple that with a propaganda/i.e. speech spoken by some carpet-bagger politician (not a statesman) complaining that those of the other party are out to protect the bad guys, Keep the money in the hands of the rich and derail the economy and stiff the working man in the process (gag - I know my job doesn't come from a poor person punching a time clock - and he thinks John Q Public is stupid enough to just keep soaking up his swill).

Pathetic!

The ? that made recovery possible: "Which lovebuster do I do the most that hurts the worst"?

The statement that signaled my personal recovery and the turning point in our marriage recovery: "I don't need to be married that badly!"

If you're interested in saving your relationship, you'll work on it when it's convenient. If you're committed, you'll accept no excuses.

Everyday there is a new story of adultery. I am so sick and tired of adultery.

It seems it is everywhere. It is destroying families, and it is just overall a horrific part of our society.

I hate divorce. I wish people would get a clue and stop destroying their families.

Can't people do what's right? Come on people - life really isn't that difficult. Just do what is right, and stop hurting people. Just stop hurting those who love you!!!

We have members who have been here for over 10 years who have never read a single Marriage Builders book. So no, they have never heard of Marriage Builders!

And I don't care if they post here, but my pet peeve is when they go on the threads of newcomers and debate with board members who do understand MB.

Exactly! The world's greatest excuse for laziness! I'm sure I need to make changes, but I refuse to see the point, because I know my spouse needs to make MORE changes, so I'll just sit on my hands and demand that they change, because after all, they are the real cause of the problem.

Convenient excuse.

And a great way to shoot down a marriage!

My cat, Simba, thinks my computer mouse is his throne to sit upon.
He refuses to POJA.
He is selfish in the extreme.
I still love him.
Which MB plan should I try?

You need to stop being the cause of Simba's unhappiness. Letting him sit on the mouse is a small price to pay for his graciousness in allowing you to live in his house.

My cat's day is not complete unless she walks across my laptop while I'm in mid-type. It's pure luck that she has not yet posted in cat language on Marriage Builders because I sometimes leave my laptop open on the couch while I attend to chores around the house.

That is due to happen around here sometime soon, too.

And when it does, I will tell MelodyLane it is Pepsi's fault!
