Der Prinz and I have been married for 23 years, and we're going through a really rough time right now. Our lifestyle doesn't lend itself to his being out with young ladies, or to long separations ... and we also have a slew of kids, including an infant under one year, so we have a nice old-lady counselor and a commitment to our family, No Matter What.
I feel sad for the D'Souzas. Marriage is hard - and it's incredibly hard if you're not together most of the time, with the support of a community and the needs of your children at the top of the priority list.
Good luck to you, Tax-chick. I hope it all works out for you. Stay strong!
And who gives a damn about D’Souza’s personal life? Sheesh, let’s all get a life.
Every marriage will face challenges.
Wife and I are going into our 38th year and every once in a while, we have some pointless disagreement that results in either “words” or a day of silence.
By the second day, we make up and the disagreements look petty...
I wish you the very best.
Prayers for you both.
Best of luck Tax-chick. We love you!!!!!
I wish you all the best and hope things work out the way you want them to.
Saying a prayer for you.
I am so sorry to hear about your rough patch right now, Tax-chick. A commitment to your family and staying together is probably half the battle. You stay strong and prayers for you and your family. Sometimes the rough patches are what makes us stronger. We work through them, survive them and realize we are more committed to each other and love each other than the day of our wedding. (plus, you and I both know we are too old and tired to train new ones!)
There is no excuse for infidelity. Don’t like it, get a divorce.
It sounds like Dinesh has succumbed to the hubris that brings many great men of God down - sexual sin. Like David or Solomon you get caught up in the power that comes from money and celebrity. Science is finally catching up to God in discovering that it isn’t love that keeps marriages together, but a fundamental commitment to marriage by both the husband and wife that gets them through the rocky times.
I suspect that the “fiancee” is significantly younger than Mrs. D’Souza and perhaps more attractive. Dinesh forgot his commitment, but I’m glad to hear you and your DH haven’t forgotten yours. May God bless you through this current trial.
Most sincerely best wishes and included intentions in Rosaries for the foreseeable future. Y’all are exemplary in so many ways.
Our family has its own stuff just now. Our girls’ mother, of whom you have heard about in the past, is now pregnant with her seventh, going through dissolution, no money, tanf stopped until custody is granted (either she’ll get it or the kids will go to a foster home if she can’t care for them), broken down car (husband’s friend sabotaged) still has heart problems, and a complicated pregnancy. Oh my, Oh my. And her third through sixth kids are a tight fit in our 2 bdr house for several days at a time when she is too ill to care for them..
But I wish you the very best, am surprised to hear this, but it isn’t that unusual, is it? That’s practically the only flaw I don’t have — am totally faithful though cantankerous. Best to your daughter in the CG as well.
Best to you and your spouse.
Just out of curiosity, is the marriage fatigue mutual, or just one of you with unmet expectations?
You and your brood are always in my prayers, but I'll toss in a little special sauce in my prayers now. My love and His Peace to you during these rough times.
It often appears that other couples are perfect and never have problems. But, the truth is, so many of us do. I have always been a faithful and devoted wife (18 years). I did have some suspicions about DH, though. And last year I discovered those suspicions were right. (Boy, were they right.) So I am done. However, I have met other wives who continue to work on their marriages. Some seem to be successful. The suspicion will always be there, though. I will say a prayer for you!
I am sorry but hypcrite is the proper word here. There are many right wingers that while being correct about their observations of Obama and the left, are not not the shining examples for morality themselves. If dinese sacrificed his marriage for his career, I think that is aweful.
I have never liked him much on radio as I could hear a sort of fixation and overwhelming focus on one man...like way too much energy.
