What a novelty (is man), what a portent, what a chaos, what a mass of contradictions, what a prodigy! Judge of all things. A ridiculous earthworm who is nonetheless the repository of truth. A sink of contradiction and error. The glory and the scum of the world. A chaos suspended over an...

Looking forward to the thread.

Welcome to CC Jasper, glad you are here.

Turn off the TV. It's a waste of life and you don't need anyone else (especially them) in your head!

Oh....I feel so much better now!

Welcome Roar....we need a lot more wisdom around here....;);););)

Please consider carefully what is at risk here. If you make a mistake, you are at minimum guaranteed a lifetime of problems and difficulties. Financial, emotional, social and even familial. But consider carefully; this not only potentially impacts you and your happiness, but if you guess...

He's a boyfriend. I assume there are no children. Run!

I was fascinated by Dickens' Tale of two Cities for both the plot and his ability to paint pictures with words. His description of the Dover Mail at the beginning got me hooked. Maybe when I was a little younger, The Yearling by Rawlings was a favorite. While I did not fully understand all...

Your words: “Do I let it go, forgive and continue on with life as normal as if this never happened…” “this has revealed something worldly hidden In my marriage…” “the roles of marriage are all messed up…” “the quarrelsome/nagging wife…” “the marriage headship design…” “a wife who does not...
