He said YES to all those Q before I was ever asked!<P><BR>trueheart<BR> Member <BR> posted July 27, 2001 01:24 PM <P> HF...<P> You speak of manipulation and game play...<P> Let me ask you some simple questions (as a recovering WS):<P> Do you tell him you love him with all your heart?<BR> Do you tell him you need him in your life?<BR> Do you tell him he is everything you ever wanted?<BR> Do you ensure him that whatever needs he has you can fulfill?<BR> Do you *show* him how is wife no longer meets his needs?<BR> Do you support him in *everything* he says, feels, and does?<BR> Do you encourage him, when he says he doesnt know what to do, that you will always be there for him?<BR> Do you help him keep secrets about your A?<P> If the answer to any or all of these is true, you are manipulating him. He is still married, is he not? Then you are<BR> controlling his head. The bottom line is that if he cannot make the decision to leave his marriage, irregardless of<BR> having you in his life, then you are manipulating him. I am sorry that you see yourself as different, but you are not.<BR> I, too, understand the falling in love part, but you use it on a one way street, when it is convenient to your<BR> purpose.<P> Trueheart

Well then *baby*.. answer the questions <P>------------------<BR>Husband2You<BR>*****<BR>Don't make me promises <BR>Baby you never did know how to keep them well <BR>I've had the rest of you <BR>Now I want the best of you <BR>It's time for show and tell<P>'All or Nothing' © 2001 O-Town

But what about YOUR answers???<P>He answered those in the context of what you offer him...<BR>As I said before....if YOU answer yes....YOU are manipulating....and it is good that you came here not looking for support since you will be hard pressed to find anyone taking your side...even the WSs here...<P>(and by the way...the typical WS response is not taking responsibility and shifting focus.... )<P>I believe we have the answers we seek....dont waste your time...<P>Trueheart

Dorkfish:<P>In the words of the Dorkfish expert, Bill Engvall, "Beware of corndogs."<P>Godspeed,<BR>STL

STL...please tell me that corndogs are not for dinner...LOL!

Hey Grandpa what's for supper ? !<P>BEER BATTERED BASS<BR>2 pounds bass fillets<BR>Lemon juice<BR>Flour<BR>Salt and black pepper to taste<BR>1/2 cup peanut oil<P>Batter<P>1 cup flour<BR>1/2 teaspoon salt<BR>1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper<BR>1 cup beer<P>Slice fillets into 2-inch strips. <BR>Sprinkle with lemon juice and roll in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. <BR>Prepare batter by combining flour, salt and cayenne pepper, then gradually blend in beer until thoroughly mixed. <BR>Heat oil in cast iron dutch oven or fish fryer.<BR>Dip fillets in batter and fry until golden brown.<BR>Drain on paper towel to remove excess grease. <BR>Serve with hot sauce or tarter sauce. <BR>

DB:<P>Another yummy fish addition to the MB Cookbook.<P>Wondering if Humble/Dorkfish would do instead? She would especially like the beer part ... who knows, maybe even the battering part.<P>[TrueHeart:<BR>Missed your corndog reference. Nope. Pork (not dork) with capers, etc. Yum. Besides, according to Dorkfish expert Bill Engvall, corndogs are their exclusive food.<P>Careful with those corndogs, Dorkie.]<P>Godspeed,<BR>STL<p>[This message has been edited by SeenTheLight (edited July 28, 2001).]
