No problem Theo, even strong men need women to look out for them sometimes!
Well...Yoyo....I'm honored none the less.
I totally forgot about a Fish Named Wanda. Delightful film -- until now that I think about it. John Cleese's character, essentially dumps his family to be a criminal. And in the story when his wife accidentally thought the necklace was for her, she fell in love with her husband again, treasuring the gift.
Sounds like a great Movie Deauxlie....and it's cool that the man's Dad helps him through this.
Where are the strong fathers and men in our society? where are the strong marriages?
I soooo... wanted to be that kin of father for my kids.
Unfortunately all I can offer them is a story of my emotional aloofness in the marriage and my wife's infidelity, most likely a divorce.
Hold on here--there's some kind of bogus theoden up in here, 'cuz this isn't the one I know! The one I know is a very strong man who has been a real support for me.

Hey, I caught a couple of movies today on cable (while going through yet more boxes of stuff from the house). I had seen them before, but only now, after having had so much time to ponder infidelity, the nature of sin, and trying to figure out why someone could turn so utterly against their own value system, did I see the moral themes in this new light.
One was the fantasy Legend with Tom Cruise. I remember taking my kid brother to this back in 1985, when I was still in college. I've always like Ridley Scott's work -- his movies are so rich in imagery. The female lead, Lilly, is seduced by the evil antagonist, the devil-like Darkness. Before I could never understand how the heroine, if she was so pure of heart like they kept saying, could be turned by evil. It was a haunting echo, to now be able to see how that can actually happen in real life. My W, like Lilly, allowed her vanity and greed to corrupt her. But fairytales tend to have happy endings, and so does Legend -- Lilly is saved and redeemed at the end.
Such is not to be the case in my real-life tale.
The other movie was Fallen with Denzel Washington. It is, again, about evil corrupting or plaguing the innocent. A demonic force is able to pass from human to human by the merest touch. The similarity here is how rampant that the WAS disease seems to spread, just like evil in general. This one does not have a happy ending.
I saw The First Wives' Club on tv last night. Not a DB movie, but Bette Midler's H made me think of your H, Yoyo. I hope that's not a terrible thing to say.
I watched sex in the city this weekend and when miranda and her H were having thier probs, wow, least he was remorseful, but the MC thing, and the part for me awaiting to see if they would both take the 2 week break and decide if they were both gonna be on the bridge, left me on the edge of my chair!!!
