okay, totally off topic, but since you brought british sayings up, you have to tell me if this is true. my brit friend (lives here) swears there is a saying, "time to send the children up the chimney" or something like that. not sure if that is a regional expression, but omg, it kills me. I watch a lot of british tv, feel like I have a pretty good understanding of a good deal of british slang/coloquialisms, but that one is a first for me.

Husband there is a great post on sex starved marriage by a man named chocolateeyes. I think you should read how he shook things up. Because it did involve him telling the family including his wife's family about what she had done. So far at least his is a success story. They had actually filed for divorce where he let her know he was going for custody of their younger son as the okder daughter's were grown. Because he felt her behavior as an adulterer would be a bad influence on his/theor son. Anyways when things weren't working he rattled the cage big time. I think it gave his spouse who is as stubborn as they come in a severe mid life crisis a huge wake up call.
They are now in the process of reconciling and she is very remorseful.
I think maybe from a woman's side of being the one who is having an affair maybe they need to see the strong man come forward and lay down the law.
Let me back track a little. I woke up with a head cold. Can't take any cold medicine because of the Motrin I am taking. I then took son to his base ball game. I rained here the night before and was very cold at the game. After the game W wanted to go to a “grand Opening” of this outlet mall that opened in town. So I went and had fun even though I was sneezing and had a stuffed up nose. At the grand opening they had fliers about that event I wrote ya about. Great lead in to ask W to go. Anyway when we got home I noticed on the calendar that son had b game that Saturday at the same time as the event. (Son has game every sat & sun different times). I told my W that I was going to let him stay home that Saturday so we can go to the event. That’s when it happened. My W said “what time is it because I was going to have a girl’s night out that night?” I said you did not tell me anything about this. And she said well it is not for sure yet we have been trying to do this for a while. Well I slipped and IN MY HEAD I said ya I have been trying to go out with you for a while also. I put my self in a bad mood. I can’t write more now but the dinner went well I had to leave because my cold got really bad.
I’ll fill ya in on more when I get back from my son’s 8:00 am game.

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
husband, I hear ya on the cold thing. I am suffering right now. H left last night to go out, knowing I felt a$$like, leaving me with 2 tired but cute kids. In my head, I cussed him out, but outwardly, I pushed through.
Glad the dinner went well, but sorry W is planning a girls night out. She needs to make time for YOU.
