Apologize if making a generalization, but see it all the time. Also, if/when she gets violent, put your hands in your pocket and go into another room and shut/lock/barricade the door, or leave the home. Standard advice I give to avoid the phony assault charge and arrest.
That’s is a very astute observation, and so I can tell you are a divorce attorney. I am still head over heels in love with her (emotionally), and I know she is with me. The truth is she can’t deal with the guilt, and I can’t deal with the shame, even though this happened 16 years ago. It just keeps growing. As my children and cousins start finding out what happened (as they get older) it has this incredible snowball effect that is really overwhelming. At a certain point you have to move on.
You have to live life the best you can.
Dating or courting, I don't see why another man should have to woo the family--'cuz you are doing them a favor taking a possibly explosive and irrational creature out of their house. I don't see why a man should have to woo the woman either--unless women are happy slaving away at the career wheel and hitting 40 with a womb as empty as our Savior's Tomb...
I say: arranged marriage and a dowry or no way!
Yeah, we should be quite so other men don't wise up....
Not if you don't get married.... No Marriage, no divorce, duhhh?
Ah, there is the Compassionate Christian Woman coming out.
You have me in stiches out here. Please continue. You have made my day. God is good.
Ah, there is the Compassionate Christian Woman coming out.
If she won't do it because she want that Government paper stamped by the lesbian wiccan court clerk, it's only because she wants men with guns to come and take half of your life away because you aren't a good dancer or whatever...
You would certainly find out if she is in love with you or in love with the powers the government grants her to ruin your life when she finds the next Mr. Right.
Why does this passage of yours remind me of Maureen Dowd? This reads as if it describes her perfectly.
Those are the currency of the Oprahfied therapy nation I'm turning my back on.
Actually, no, I don’t want compassion or healing (I don’t even know what that is in this context).
I want to love god, enjoy my grown kids, honor my parents, love my country (and hate the government), work hard and produce great art and wealth and have ravenous hot hard horny sweaty sex (and I know how to do this). Is that too much to ask?
I am cute, educated, connected, smart, charming, industrious, resourceful and engaging with a tight body and have never balding curly hair.
Get off of my cloud.
"Yes. Someone hurt you. Someone hurt you badly. But you're a big boy, and you're responsible for your own behavior now. If you use what was done to you as an excuse for immoral, adolescent behavior, then that's JUST what you are............and immoral adolescent. Don't blame God for this. Act like a man, and behave yourself"
That's how a compassionate Christian mother would talk to an angry, stubborn, obstreperous son like you.
Good thing for you I'm not your mother, huh?? You might have to take responsibility for yourself and your behavior, and I don't think you'd like it much.....
Heh heh...
You know the Rolling Stones lyric: "Hey you! Get offa my cloud?"
Well, in Scotland it goes: "Hey McCloud! Get offa my ewe."
Oh well, we buggered this thread by showing that the result of dating or courting is that you end up with a creature in your house 55% of whom will take 50% of all you have worked for and 100% of your kids.
Did you know that the divorce rate among Army Officers is 85%?
On the other hand I have always wanted to have sex with a large black woman. And I did. And you know what, it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. But I did it. She was only the second person I have ever had sex with. But she helped my self-confidence enormously.
Lincoln had his own problems with dating and courtship. His marriage to Mary Todd was no picnic either.
I don't blame God for this. I blame man and the wicked world he has created. 'Acting like a man' would get me thrown in jail, my guns taken and my job taken. The law will not let me act like a man and head of my household.
Good thing for you I'm not your mother, huh??
Let me tell you about my mother: she falsely charged my dad with domestic violence when I was 13 and got a restraining order against him--she then shacked up with her divorce lawyer in the house my father built. I didn't want to live with my mom and her lawyer so I was raised by my dad. He died while I was stationed on the DMZ in Korea. They had been married 23 years. I have no other living family.
When I pleaded in tears with my ex not to call the cops on me out of spite like my mom did to my dad, she said cruelly: "Good. I want you die alone like your rotten father did." As God witnesses me writing this--on my life this is true.
My wife also got all into tarot cards and crystals and all the new age crap after she quit going to church. I suggested to her brother that an exorcism was in order rather a divorce--her brother agreed...
It boggles my mind that she will now be rewarded with half of all I have worked for for the past 6 years for this. I did manage to keep my father's house I live in alone--and will probably eventually die in alone.
