Do You Regret Your Divorce?

Posted on by

Recently I was driving down the road and took notice to a new duet song by Reba McIntire that referred to taking her children to meet her ex-husband every other weekend. Many couples likely follow this same routine. They pack up the children and head off to meet their ex-spouse for the every other weekend visit. However the story line of this song may be what sets it apart from the typical divorced couple. The two ex-mates that are meeting up to exchange the children are doubting the divorce. They long for one another and the meetings are awkward. This … Continue reading →

What To Do When You’ve Got a Crush on Someone Other Than Your Spouse

On my article Are Crushes Natural?, a reader left a comment about how she’s happily married but developed a big crush on someone else. She even tried to hook the guy up with an available friend, but that only made her think about him more. She admitted she knows she needs to stop thinking about him, but also that she hopes the friend and him decide not to see each other again. Yikes. That’s a tough situation to be in. Now some of you will take objection to that and say “If she’s so happily married, why would another man … Continue reading →

An Affair Doesn’t Mean “The End”

Posted on by

It may be hard to accept the idea that when your spouse has an affair, it doesn’t have to mean the marriage is over. For most men or women, betrayal is a bitter pill to swallow. It’s hard on the person who’s cheated on. It’s hard on the person who cheated. But it’s hardest on the marriage as the couple tries to recover who they were before the cheating. An affair doesn’t mean a marriage is over, but it does indelibly change the marriage. Complications Relationship experts cite over and over that affairs are not about the sex. The reasons … Continue reading →

Fantasizing Wives

This morning on Today I happened to catch a segment about “Sex and the Married Mom.” I didn’t catch who conducted the poll. (I want to say it was a collaboration between AOL and Cookie Magazine. Somehow Cookie Magazine must have been involved because two women who worked for the magazine were being interviewed about the poll results.) Who did it isn’t as important as the results they found. The Poll The poll interviewed 30,000 married women about their sex lives. What they found was that most of us aren’t as satisfied as some may have formerly thought. Some of … Continue reading →

“Love Me or Let Me Go”

Posted on by

While browsing through the forums I noticed a thread about a lady whose husband continuously puts her down and says mean things to her and then ends with “I love you”. In fact this one particular story occurred on her birthday. This is not the only story of this kind that I have heard of happening. These stories area actually quiet common in some relationships. I think that there was once a song with a line in it that said something to the effect of “love me or let me go.” I think that that song greatly applies to situations … Continue reading →

Do People Really Go Looking for an Affair?

Posted on by

I will admit that I am kind of naive when it comes to some of society’s “no-nos”. I have been totally shocked at some of the stories that I have heard. I have been amazed that some people can even think of doing the things that they do. However I do know that people have affairs and that divorces happen everyday of the week. Yet one ad that I saw pop up on my screen did catch me off guard. The ad read something to this sort “Are you looking for an affair?” Until I saw the ad I had … Continue reading →

Infidelity: Insult and Injury

In Does an STD Make the Crime of an Affair Even Worse?, I pondered just that. As deedee1231 pointed out, it probably doesn’t make it worse, it just adds insult to injury. I believe that. Yet when I wrote that article I didn’t think beyond an STD as a consequence of an affair that might add insult to injury. But then the whole prostitution scandal with former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer happened. Except, before I could ponder how he not only embarrassed himself but his poor wife and that’s certainly a huge insult too, my mom fell sick. I … Continue reading →

How Strongly Do You Feel Against Divorce?

Posted on by

As a society it does seem that we are more acceptable of divorce. However many religions and those with strong religious values are still very unwilling to accept divorce as an option. Most of us have the understanding that divorce is only acceptable under the terms of adultery. Other than that, divorce should not be considered. I have even heard that some churches will cast out members who divorce for reasons thought to be unholy. Many preachers refuse to remarry couples who have been divorced from a past marriage. Lately I have been pondering exactly how passionate these people feel … Continue reading →

When You are Questioning a Divorce

Posted on by

One question that some married couples face is whether or not they should get a divorce. In some cases it is very obvious to both partners that things were just not meant to be (abuse, affairs, etc). However some couples just seem to lose the connection that they once had. They begin to question if their marriage is worth keeping. If you are questioning your marriage and even considering divorce then obviously something is not right. Your marriage is in need of work. However that does not necessarily mean that it should be over. If you are questioning a divorce … Continue reading →
