I took this as pre-mediation "St. (Mrs. Puppy's First Name)" behavior, which she did the last go-around as well.
Yes, but they can only keep that up so long. My H was acting like Saint H at first too, but gradually that seems to fade away. Not worth the time and trouble, or maybe they can only keep up saintly behavior for a very short time.
It is sad; and I feel guilt about the kids, but sometimes I think it's going to be ok or even better this way. Their mom is a lot happier now. Someday I hope to have a nice, healthy relationship with someone and then they'll be able to see that, and not the way their dad treated me.
Definitely going to need that pork chop recipe......
LOL, Hoosiermama's got the pork chop cravings this morning, too!
It's super-simple. I rinse the chops first in cold water, and pat them dry with paper towel. I then put some kosher salt and fresh-cracked black pepper on both sides. I turn my gas grill up as hot as it will go, lid closed, so when I put the chops on I can well-sear both sides. I then remove them, turn the grill down to low and let it cool a bit before returning the meat to the grill.
During the slow-cooking, I baste the chops frequently with apple juice. This keeps the meat moist, yet it doesn't char the way barbeque sauce does. It also adds a sweetness to the meat. During the last 5 minutes or so of grilling, I baste them with bbq sauce (store-bought "Sweet Baby Rays" for me).
That's it. Strategically turning them 90 degrees when searing to get those little diamond-shaped black lines on 'em is strictly optional.
You are all that and you cook too. Your w is a fool. Puppy, I'm sad for you and your kids; your w too. She is so foolish to walk away from a good man like you.
And thank you so much for your support when I was going through my sh!t. I like that you posted to me and understood that it's ok to disagree with some of the DB stuff that isn't effective or good for us in the long run.
I think Michele herself says that not all marriages can be saved.
Wow, what a concession. Does Michele realize just how few marriages are saved? The wording of the above makes it sound like a select few can't be saved while in fact the reverse is true, very few are saved.

Whether they are saved or not doesn't mean that they could/couldn't be saved. It might just mean that people don't have the tools or willingness to save them - even though they can be saved.
