I have a different topic that isn't related to me. It's about infidelity.
Infidelity is rampant. If the WAS isn't cheating, it's more often than not because they haven't been caught yet. It's really sickening. It's almost as bad when the LBS latches on so desperately that they are willing to just accept the affair, forgive, forget, if their spouse would only stay. My personal opinion is that the cheating spouse responds much better to being kicked to the curb. How many times have you heard about the cheating spouse immediately begging and pleading for another chance when they find themselves kicked to the curb? This, "I'll take whatever he/she is willing to give" attitude I think leads to them accepting their behavior as okay. "My spouse drove me to it" and that's b.s.
I also think that the cheating spouse should only be given another chance when they seek forgiveness and another chance. They need to come back repentent, with guilt and remorse. It makes me mad when I read about them coming back and the spouse that was cheated on walks on eggshells.
Oh well, off my soapbox.
Nothing new to report really. I've screwed up two nights in a row and said something to my step-daughter about issues. The night before last I didn't like that she wouldn't even attempt to eat her dinner and basically demanded that her mom make her something else. Last night, at bedtime she mentions she has a homework assignment due the next day. I should have just butt out of it. As my wife said, it's my SD responsibility to do her work. It really spoiled a couple nice evenings and we went to bed in a fairly unloving way...no kiss, no ILY, and really just a grudging goodnight. I'm tired and crabby at night and my frustration level is high. If I want to make it through the day I need a different strategy to handle the last couple hours before bed. I'm going to experiment with a few things
