Dear Rainbowlove, Bring this thread to your professor and he will tell you you to seek another profession. You can't accuarely say the things you said without asking a whole lot of questions. Student being the operative word. I was illustring a point that someone else made that it will never work. I know several men, and women, who have ended up with the person they left for, it doesn't mean I'm trying to emulate anyone. Thats the problem with psychology students, they think they can psychoanalyze everyone, yes everyone you meet has a personality disorder too. I never said my father abandoned me, I have a great relationship with my father...where did that come from? As far as my kids, they don't know their father cheated on me because I was SMART enough to keep adult business to the adults and not use my children agains their father,so again, you're wrong. I am not a married man-seeker. And while I chose to be honest with my children, MY CHILDREN ARE OLDER, they're not babies. I do have compassion, I do feel for everyone involved. Try reading. Please, go back to your books. I have a therapist actually, and she has yet to make your determinations, but nice try. I came to this board for the exact reason I stated before. I never said having an affair is "right" I said it happens and it's part of life. So please, don't misquote me, don'e psychoanalyze me, you're an Amateur and you should know that you need real information, and conversation and communication to come to any real conclusion about one's situation, not off the cuff comments from a bulletin board. Please...
