Thread #7 - What goes down, might come up.

ok, glad you cleared that up for us. I was thinking that maybe you knew that they were going to use the pic and didn't try to stop it. Of course, you no doubt signed a release on the pic, but still there's some moral rights that you probably could have asserted.

MAYBE/MAYBE but only IF YOU HAD KNOWN...and maybe she didn't look so good or they wanted to make a point about military families or single dads or whatever...This is NOT a reason for her to be upset at YOU. Do not take any responsibility for this. Period.


Anyhow, it is what it is. Not like you intentionally got them to print the pic. And if your W wants to think that, nothing you can do about it. And if she figures it depicts her as a bad mom, that is HER thought... maybe a dose of reality...

was she at all happy that her kids were on a cover OR you were? Or was it all about her not being in it?

And PLEASE dont' tell her the Navy has a hiring freeze. Why tell her discouraging stuff before she even starts looking?

IMO, I would Say nothing that isn't positive about the job market.

You are giving her yet another reason to not even TRY in her life.And to feel artificially trapped and she'll see it as YOUR FAULT, again...

She can get A JOB...as far as a career? I don't know, I'm having trouble myself. Join the club!

But don't feed into her fears b/c these are what lead her to feel anger at YOU...

Well, try not to spend too much time dwelling on it. It's just AN excuse for her to think you are the cause of her problems. If not this, it could have easily been something else.

Keep your pma up along with your chin and keep on keeping on...

yes...if not this, than that.

The job market being UNFAIR TO HER b/c she got to take 7 years off...

Jesus, do you see how twisted that is?

EVERY woman I know would be grateful for the time they got with their children...and would gladly sacrifice the career steps to do it.

I know I did.
