I know I still do it when I think my mom's not looking, and I'll be 37 next month!

Yes Ent, I have 3 stepchildren and there was never, ever any problem or hurting over my H having them-- COMPLETELY different.

I have a 14 year old that my H loves to death and takes care of on a daily basis-- but that doesn't mean I "owe" him or he would "owe" me to accept OC.

Ya know- my 14 year old is a mini-me, mouth and attitude included.. but he came out of the WOMB that way... and is FINALLY actually beginning to relax now!!! I love it. But he's still a PILL-- yet like Kimmy said- when I'm FUMING mad at him- he steals my heart because he is soo gorgeous-- and he melts me still since he was a baby- I'm powerless sometimes! LOL!!

<strong> Ent H, How ugly was your OW on a scale of one to ten....(Maybe "scale" is the word. Maybe she weighed 350 lbs!)

Obviously your other lover could not find a nice available man to have sex with and therefore tried to hurt your family and marriage. She must have been really ugly, inside or out to not be able to find an available man.

How could you even TOUCH the skank OW!??? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">OUCH BABA. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> That is like the 2nd thread you've said that in. A womans/man appreance either married or not has nothing to do with any of the cirumstances that we are all dealing with. I would appricate it if you would stop saying it....and before you ask, NO I'm not 350 lbs. I'm a size 8 and still 10 lbs overweight from when I got pregnant. I have just learned in my life that a person inside has nothing to do with what they look like outside. Although I agree that everyone should take the best care of themself and care how they look, the person inside is what really matters. OKAY.......had to get that off my chest but to the regular thread and sorry to threadjack.

And since we're quoting the bible let me add this.

No one of illegitimate birth nor any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, even down to the tenth generation. Dueteronomy 23:2 </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I have to ask WHY would you add THAT quote?? I don't have an OC but I do read at Marriage Builders because I am engaged and hoping to have all the tools I need to build a successful marriage. That quote from the Bible kind of unnerved me at first because my parents were not married when I was conceived or born. They weren't in an affair, they were engaged, but that still makes me "illegitimate". I had to go to my pastor (and when I was asking there was another female minister present as well) to ask about this. They explained to me that that was a part of the OLD testimant. They said that there is no more being judged on what your ancestors did, and it would be a sad, sad world if we had to pay for the sins of our parents, grandparents, great-great-great-great-grandparents, etc. After Jesus died on the cross he paid for our sins, so our salvation is not based on our relatives actions. Salvation is based on your PERSONAL relationship with God. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him shall not perrish, but have everlasting life." Basically I'm saying please be careful about using Bible quotes to suit your own purpose. ANYONE could be reading/lurking and someone not strong in faith could take a quote like that and think "Why bother? Why bother to even TRY to live right if someone ten generations before me was born out of wedlock, so now I can't go to heaven?"

You consider 10 days to be ANCIENT? I don't. Prior to my post, Dec. 6 was the date of the last response. And I BOTHERED because I was BOTHERED by it. Is that ok?
