Merry xmas FLTC. Really appreciate what you guys are doing over there! Sometimes there are things more important in life than holding grudges. Too bad these WAS don't care to realize that....

The book you mention frequently is not recommended and we remove related posts. Most of his techniques are detrimental to relationships, especially marriages. He mentions Michele but she does not recommend his work.
Furthermore, he goes by various names on the internet, etc.

Merry Christmas, FLTC! Stay safe and remember to count your blessings especially when you feel like crap! There still are many to be counted, we just have to look for them
sgctxok, Yeah, I understand why you take his stuff down. The hurt and grieving that I feel at this point, just absolutely consumes me. If you read the article that I psoted about from the December Men's Health, it speaks to all of us men who have been cast aside for less than what we consider to be significant reasons to end a marriage. I realize that this happens to women too, but if the data is correct, after the age of 40, a majority of divorces are initatied by women. Guys like me who work two jobs, are faithful, love our children, and deep down through the layers of crust, our wives.
I live by commitments, and always have. If my commissioning oath as an officer had in it "support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies foreign and domestic unless I'm unhappy or disagree with how I'm treated", where would we be? What's the difference between that and marriage vows? Rhetorical, but???????
FLTC, I am about to head off to W's to open stockings and presents with the kids. I can tell you that there is a part of me that just wants to curl up on the floor, cry my heart out and let this day pass! There's a dark place inside me that I know will not be filled today. BUT, I am going to look for the joy that this day will bring anyway, try to put aside my pain even though I know it's lying just under the surface. As for you, today I want you to look for even just one person where you are and make it a point to bring some joy to their day, that's what this day is all about. Make it work for ya! I'm gonna give it my best, how about you? Blessings to you on this special day.
Thanks to all of you for remembering me today. I appreciate it. don't worry, I am truly among my brothers and sisters! I need no further companionship that what I have here. One year later, they are truly like family, except they like me(!) My new family who I did not even know last year at this time. Wii: God, do I feel for you. It rips my heart out! If you can find it, look at my post from last Christmas. It's a comedy!
"For the Kids sake"...I really have to laugh when my W. used to say that. The irony is just beyond words. I need not tell you. Spent an uneventful night in the guard tower. Gave my Soldiers some rest. Some Iraqi kids looking for food and a jackal. NSTR(!) Called home last night and tonight. Spoke to all 3 kids. Did not ask to speak to W. That's just too awkward and maddening. It's like talking to my notebook. She never asks to speak to me, so I'm done with that. Merry Christmas all. Peace, love, Roger...out.
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of non alcholic beer until you get on the freedom bird.
Glad you did Guard Duty. Used to shoot the dogs and other critter with slingshots. Never a shortage of rocks. We complained that there was not enough dirt and the rocks were too soft to sleep on.
