When a man whether he is married or not gets someone pregnant....sorry to say it involves everyone whether they want it or not.

=^^= Unfortunately you are right. When only one person gets to call all the shots and make all the decisions that effect many innocent people (wife, kids, extended family) the BS reluctantly become involved whether she wants to or not. She's ambushed, sucker-punched and now has to make some hard choices. Someone is about to change her life with their life altering decisions and the innocent BS is just going to have to chose to live with it, suck it up and work through it all or bail out. It's a sick choice to have to make when all you were expecting to decide was where you were going to go on vacation...now you find out that vacation won't happen for you or your kids for 18 years, among a thousand other unpleasant issues.

I never said that ow insists on uh to drop his family or give more time to oc and ow. I never implied that. I'm not sure where that came from.

=^^= A lot of this is not aimed at you but I took the opportunity to mouth off about some stuff I recently read on TOW...that's where it comes from. I'm sorry...I must be freewheeling here.

Catnip =^^=

Cat:
We have had a few heated converstaions and I will be the first to admit that until I steped back and re-read your post you were very honest and really looked at what I said and admited to me it was more focused on general than me. I want to say I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway. I'm glad I re-read this old thread and really "read" what was said. I hope you take my apology for me really saying I'm sorry. I'm also sorry that I did not know your story before this all started. I to was generalizing.

Dear Mary...How kind of you to apologize, however you needn't apoligize to me as I don't get offended and understood at the time that you probably didn't get my meaning. These days I feel a little like a "hit and run" driver as I come here and post a few times then leave for a few days due to demands in my life.

I aboslutely love and respect people who can accept with grace other people's POV without rancor. You are obviously one of those people and I am so glad to make your acquaintence.

I hope to chat with you more in the future. Thanks for reaching out...that is very cool of you.

Cat =^^=

Back At Ya Cat!!!! Yeah, I'm the type of person who (sometimes with my tail between my legs, but non of the less) see that I may not see something as it was put or over react and I just wanted to let you know.
Mary
