Both involve choices that lead away from the current relationship, and both involve dishonesty. As such, neither option is available. To Declaw or Not to Declaw, That is the Question15 Feb 2008 02:30 PM Each pet parent must do what's best for their animal(s). I always fix and declaw my cats, usually at the same time. It's less stressful on them and makes the transition in our multi-cat household much easier. I've had probably a dozen cats over the years; none of them changed for the worse after being declawed. They've also lived long, healthy, happy lives (my eldest died last August at the ripe old age of 17 1/2). Wearing Your Ring after Divorce08 Feb 2008 11:29 PM The ring was a gift. Wear it for as long as you want. Or get the gems made into a new piece of jewelry. Once you're ready to move on from a divorce, it's best to take the rings off your left hand so that possible suitors will know you're available. Who Takes Care of Business?06 Feb 2008 08:49 PM My beau and I tend to share the power equally. We take on the tasks that suit our strengths, yet we always consult each other before making huge decisions. For example, I tend to make all the phone calls (for bills, reservations, etc.). He's deaf, and even with a hearing aid on, phone conversations are more difficult for him. However, my beau is the one who would handle salespeople. I have absolutely no tolerance for sales pitches or schmoozing, and he does. If we were to rent an apartment or plan a trip, the process would involve both of us. As for when something breaks in the house, we're simply incompetent in that area. We just call the super. Are Little Fibs Harmless?06 Feb 2008 08:43 PM I'm not sure I understand the point of lying to your spouse. Calling it 'fibbing' doesn't make it it acceptable or harmless; you're being dishonest with your mate and that action is destructive to your relationship. In the examples given above, it seems clear that the husband is doing things he knows are wrong, actions that will get him in 'trouble' with his wife. Which makes you wonder about the balance of power in their marriage. She's not his mother. She's his wife. And yet he's treating her like someone who will punish him if she finds out he actually has a life outside of their home. Eventually, lies will be discovered and then your mate will no longer believe the words coming out of your mouth. Why should they? You've already proven you have no concern for their feelings; you'd much rather lie to suit your own needs. If you're being dishonest to the one person you're supposed to love, honor and respect, then you either have serious problems or your relationship does. It's Never Enough: Cherishing Each Married Moment02 Feb 2008 05:17 AM You should see the movie "P.S. I Love You." It's in theatres now and deals with this topic in-depth. I loved it. Moving in Together22 Jan 2008 08:53 PM Having lived with several men over the years, I can honestly say the transition was always fairly easy. Perhaps because I don't feel the need to change my mates -- or redecorate their lives. Don't get me wrong. I loved living on my own, having my own space, total control over the remote, etc., but when my relationships became serious enough to take to the "move in together" stage, we simply adapted. Why You Should Take a Honeymoon19 Jan 2008 10:48 PM My beau and I have decided to make the honeymoon are biggest priority. Why waste money on an expensive dress I'll only wear once, flowers that will die and a lousy DJ when we can use that money to start our lives off with a bit of adventure? Scrimping and saving is not easy, of course, but there are ways to make it happen. No honeymoon at all? Not an option! *smile* Even Rock Star Wives Sing the Blues18 Jan 2008 03:29 PM "Marriage is work. If you don't put in the time it will fall apart and leave you singing the blues." Amen! *smile* |
