Hi Everyone - I posted a <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/Forum30/HTML/000890.html" TARGET=_blank>problem</A> that I ran into last night over in the Plan A/B forum. I'd appreciate any advice or similar experiences that others have had.<P>My <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/Forum37/HTML/010065.html" TARGET=_blank>first and only other post</A> was in this forum, but it seemed to be locked up last night.<P>- Tom

Hi, Tom. I'm sure you'll get some other advice here shortly. I am glad that you will be talking to Steve again in the morning. Be sure to ask him about this issue. <P>Plan A is about avoiding LB's and fulfilling EN's, and making changes to yourself that need to be made. It's not about being a doormat, or sitting by and letting your W affect your kids like that. Is there a way to bring up your concerns to your W in a Non-judgmental, non-Angry manner? Care and protection, means communicating honestly, but in a manner as to not offend the other person, not be angry, etc.<P>Can you tell her the story you told us:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Me and our three kids were at a church function tonight, and my oldest (10) was telling the pastor's wife about going to the drive-in and how one of my wife's friends, a nice man, bought them some really good snacks. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>And ask her about it? Perhaps, did you run into an old friend or something? See how she reacts. If she gets defensive or denies it, you may need to drop the subject. <P>JMO, hopefully, you'll get some others, and Steve can help you tomorrow.<P>------------------<BR>Faith1<P>"Then Jesus answered, 'Woman, you have great faith!

be back later.. to respond...<P>You can seek my posts on my situation... the OM with my kids and all.. do a search on my name.<P>But I had to just ask... Drive-in? Like in a REAL drive in? I thought they were ALL gone? Where might this Drive-in be?<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

We have a few Drive-in's in Alabama - of course everyone thinks we're still in the 1800's anyway... duh... or at least we haven't progressed past the 1950's anyway... so of course.... <P> tee-hee<P>Actually, I think they may be bringing them back in some areas.<P>Tom?

Thanks for your help.<P>There is just one drive-in left in the Pittsburgh area, out by the airport.<P>- Tom
