Why can't I do this....

Hey there...

I just noticed, that I had missed some of your "older" posts.


So, reset your mind to last week, if you want to read some "late" comments from me on it


GREAT job on taking care of the dog. That i think is a major stumbling block out of the way.

now you just have to clear up all those other boulders laying around

one rock at a time...


sounds like you did a great job on validating what she wanted to do with meals, too. Awesome!

Well, today on the phone, she brought it up again and told me how inappropriate taking the call [to single female who is purusing you] was. I agreed and validated.

personally, i would DISagree. nothing wrong with "taking a call". it's going on and on with her, instead of ending it, that wasnt that pleasant. Yet if you handled it the way you said you did... I personally dont think you did anything "wrong", except make your wife jealous, and that was why she was mad. heh.

She kind of made a comment about how she never takes calls from OM in front of the kids and that I should do the same.

Err.. so what exactly is "wrong" here? not that you "took the call", but that you did it in front of the kids?

You should try to get her to agree to stick to the same standards she wants you to follow, if that sort of thing comes up again

She immediately said, "I am sorry it won't be that kind of night. If she wants to come she can." I said no, you need a night like that with your friends, and she told me she is going with her girlfriend that is basically going through the same thing as her. But she was sure several times to tell me that the night is not going to be what I think. I tried to agree and validate!

Oooo.. this will be poison for your marriage.
In my opinion, you should have left it at, "ok she can come".

What is now going to happen, is not a "girls go to strip club" night, but "two women encouraging each other to have a divorce".
That's what "going through the same thing as her" means.

I want to learn how to make it because I enjoy cooking and think that in the future that it is not fair that I sit on my butt and watch football all day while the women ...

that was really nice
