Ups and Downs

[Energizer Bunny]

Thanks for the suggestions and perspective WGU. It's almost like the have a script!


I have gone through some of GIMA's postings now too. I started laughing when I read about the books. I HATE the books! It's tough to think that while I'm reading how to be a better man and save our family, W is reading how to cut the strings and how glorious life after D is. I understand that she feels the M is holding her back and D is the "only path to happiness," but it sucks to see. I am consistantly amazed (still after 9 months) how people can get to a point where they see their wedding vows, their family, marriage, children, etc. as esentially disposable.

I hate the "If it feels good do it" mentality that these books sell. Where is the "If it's worth having, it's worth working for" attitude? Here's a link to a quick article that I found while thinking of this attitude the other day.

Another question: I saw stuff about the book "Walk Out Woman." Is it something that you could share with your wife? I know that my wife would like better understanding of shy she's feeling what she's feeling, to be validated, and to know that she's not crazy or alone and I thought it may help. OTOH, that may just be the "fixer" coming out in me.
