I strongly discourage this. In fact I recommend a book I recently read : The Art of Manliness.
NO pedicures Tranquil

Good plan, TD!

Let's base our value systems on the opinions of the geniuses LiLo, Britney, and Kim K, and their spoiled, brainless fifteen y/o female fans! (Oh, wait a minute, the waywards that have driven us here have already done that, right?)

Shall we toss in Mindy McReady as well? (I wonder if the Rocket sported matte or highly buffed toenails?)

....NG I thought I could tell you guys anything now my feelings are hurt lol. I onky did it because it was something I wanted to do with WW. Would be a nice UA hour IMO. Women sound off please wouldnt it be mice if your husband went with you for a disl manicure? Nothing new here making deposits during phone conversations with the WW. Awesome I know I get phone calls now. This is pathetic the last sentence was dripping with sarcasm I can't wait till this is over and I can talk recovery like some other folks on the forum. *Sigh*

I looked into this at the art of manliness website.
There is an article about nail care for men here:

Um, men take horrible care of their feet. A pedicure every now and again would fall under PA, which is not one of the top needs for most women, but the gargoyle feet are well just ew. What a great idea for some UA.

Thanks BP and yes JK i will call it a grooming of my feet and no polish that's kinda out there. Reading the book of Hosea and it feels like a Plan A guide and very insightful. Will keep you all posted on any new developments.

Don't let 'em get to you. Nothing wrong with a guy getting occasional pedis. Going with W is even better and i have seen planty of couples at the saln When I see a guy with gross feet or missing nails it is a total turn off.

Kerela,

I thought women liked men with missing toenails?

Many marathon runners end up loosing some.

The article posted to TQ said for men to take care of your hand nails but nobody sees your toenails.

As you read the book of Hosea you will see that God commands the prophet to marry an adulterous wife.
And God declares that the wife will depart and sleep with others but that God will place "hedges" around her and she will be forced to return to her husband.

I encourage you to pray for hedges around your wife. Pray that God places angels in her path.

Will do, JK. Last time I spoke with her she said all I wanted from her was sex. My response was that it wasn't true and I'm sorry she feels like that. Then she got into talking about the divorce and I told her I talk marriage my lawyer talks divorce and offered her my lawyers phone number. She was stunned and change the subject. We talked about our relationship in the past, the good times and bad, a talk she initiated. I told her that I do care for her and loved the women she was and I don't agree with wives having boyfriends in marriages.

She claims she isn't in a relationship with POSOM (gaslighting)and she barely talks to him at all anymore. I believe this to be a lie becuase I have no way of verifying this. She also stated she just wants this to be done so she can move forward and get our kids back together. I said if you would bring SS home they would be together and she started to get hostile. I told her I would like to change the subject to something more pleasant. We talked about sci-fi tv shows we watched together (that she still watches even though she said she hated them when we were together) and a video game we played together.

She said MIL wants me to come to PR to see her dying grandmother and I am willing to do so. She also stated she doesn't want to be there when I am there and her jobs won't let her take the two weeks off and unsure if she could go. That's a lie, what I got from that was this: "I want to see my grandmother but I am scared because she will tell me I am wrong on her death bed. I cannot bear to see my son because I have wronged and abandoned him. I also want to stay in Puerto Rico for couple days and then plan a visit to see POSOM using my sick grandmother as a cover to you because your stupid." I am still Plan Aing and following the advice given to me. Getting Baptized next week, really nervous about that but I think it will help me in my faith as I get closer to Jesus and God. DS is doing awesome in preschool and can now count to 50! Now if I can teach him to tie his shoes I will be golden lol. Trying to think of an activity DS and I can do with WW to deposit some more $$ in her love bank. Any suggestions?

Congratulations on your decision to get baptized! It. will. be. awesome smile

TD you are now an expert at deciphering fog speak. I'll let the BH crowd pipe in on the plan A suggestions. But seems to me you are doing just fine.

Why hasn't MIL already put SS on a plane home to you? Your wife has literally abandoned him, and your MIL said she doesn't want to continue raising him. Correct? I don't understand why SS still isn't back home with you and his brother.

Also, my understanding is that Plan A is not supposed to become a way of life. When will you switch to Plan B?

I think his WW refuses to let him have anything to do with SS and the law on that front is iffy.


One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger

I will not spend my life this way.
