Cin, sorry to drag you into this comment but.....
hey GEL, if you are old enough to remember that episode you probably DO need a nap! hee/hee!
Just to clear the air, GEL is the dear sweet friend who referred me to this BB. I love her dearly and we have quite a bit of fun together because we share the same sick sense of humor and our husbands share the same brain! And being neighbors doesn't hurt either! We have bonded over Lack of S! so to speak!

But back to the issue at hand, does anyone know of the book(s) cemar was referring to, I'd really like to read them actually. Just curiourity sake.

HappyMomo2:

What part do you want me to explain? How my wife grew up in a dysfunctional family, or the who wants to want scenario, or both?

[HappyMomo2]

the who wants to want scenerio - I don't mean to play coy, I really don't know what you mean by that.

when confronted with the type of sexual/mental abuse that he doled out to me I didn't know how to fight back....and lets face it, I was terrified and ashamed

This is so interesting. I know I felt some of this when it turned out that my bf was an alcoholic. I also didn't know how to fight it, and I was embarrassed and ashamed. Isn't it odd how when someone treats us badly or does outrageous things that we somehow think we've done something to bring it upon ourselves? I guess part of it is that we're embarrassed to have been shown to have such poor judgment! There were so many times early in this R that I should have walked. Things have actually improved a lot. This morning he said, "I don't know how you put up with me." I said, "It's building my character."

Glad you and Happy are friends and that you're here on the board together!

[HappyMomo2]

LP & GEL, that is interesting and so true. It's like we expect people to say, we'll what did you do to bring that on to yourself?

LP, how did you find out he was an alcoholic? Is this bringing problems to the R or should that be obvious.

Lillie,
I hope you don't mind if I lift this

"It's building my character."

from you!
