Other Woman's Perspective

[25yearsmlc]

Running,

point well taken. Not all L's are jerks but I really do hear so much about litigation for idiocy in our society, I feel ashamed of my profession at times. But then I remember that for every wacky Lawyer, there is a client in the office whining about being a victim and or wanting to punish someone, be "declared right", etc. Anyhow, to me, what makes someone a "truly good person" is consciously and consistently making good moral choices. We slip now and then b/c we are human. But we try to think of others when we make a choice that affects them. We are AWAKE and AWARE of consequences... Recently I was watching tv and noticing how Hollywood shoves their agenda down our throats and God forbid we object or voice discomfort with something, b/c then we are made to look extreme. I watched HGTV ( I have to figure out how to fix things anyway) the other day, I noticed that ALL 3 "couples" were "engaged" to be married but had already moved into their homes, one was pregnant and a 2nd one had a child from someone else Unmarried, etc.....None of the 3 couples got married before buying a house, which used to the norm. And 2 of the 3 were very vague about the wedding date. And they are on tv in front of millions advertising the fact that they live together NOW and MAY get married sometime....later....but please help us decorate...."

Then last night there were several gay couples. I am not homophobic but I do worry about what the messages are to the kids. Sometimes it is as if there are simply NO rules and NO absolutes, which means everything is situational and relative...and amoral. I feel as if vaues no longer have value, pardon the pun.

Sorry to preach but I sometimes notice what we are all sort of going along with in our social circles. I have said to one adulterous friend that I did not approve of her behavior, never wanted to be a part of it (as in being around her and OM) and did not believe that her H was "okay" with it. Later her H divorced her and I swear to God she complained that he had no "Fu-----" reason to leave her. All I could think of saying was, "well in fact the 'f------' is EXACTLY why he left you...." I told her she was playing with fire and got burned and she told me to basically keep that to myself. So, I said "fine, but don't ask for my approval either...." Point being, while I don't literally condemn her and I did not 'disown' her, I voiced my opinion and she heard it. I think if a few people told each adulterer or potential adulterer what they were really doing, there would be less of it. I just am tired of being silent about this stuff. I sure won't be if my kid acts out like a WAS... Okay, preaching over. thanks for letting me vent with my social commentary-
