I don’t even understand how I ended up right here, but I believed this post used to be great. I do not recognise who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger in case you are not already. Cheers!

Comment on Abortion: The best decision of my life. by Fintan Wade

Reading that story made me feel sick in my stomach! Abortion is the killing of an innocent baby! NOBODY SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT!

Comment on How I became a better wife by Jane doe

Opposite happened with me. I had an 11 month affair (husband found out after 4 months) with my first love from HS after finding each other on FB. It had been 17 yrs since we’d last spoken. He ended our affair because I couldn’t decide whether to leave my husband as we also have 2 children. My ex hasn’t a family and didn’t/couldn’t understand my torment. I’m still very much in love with him and will be forever. We still email occasionally, and recently he insinuated he may want to see me again. Though I believe it’s because the holiday’s are a roughy time to be alone.
I miss him terribly. If things were different, I’d be with him right now. That will forever tear my heart out.

Thank you, PhD. Unfortunately, religion’s best offense seems to represent itself in militant, unwavering aggression toward people who choose to take their lives into their own hands. Admittedly, I was raised in a religious household and had to take my own steps to correct the indoctrination that has a lot of these people up to their throats in self-righteous preaching. What I find interesting is that these individuals feel it is in the government’s best interest to force women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term while forgetting or simply just ignoring the socioeconomic consequences; often, they write it off as something to think about before “opening your legs” – ergo, that opinion seems to maintain that sex is punishable and morally wrong. If you are a woman and thus able to evidence your “wrong-doing” by carrying a pregnancy, then these people seem to believe that you should be made to suffer, or even less comfortingly put, made an example of. Inherently, two individuals die here. The mother, who is often young and may have been taking prescriptions known to cause problems in pregnancy, or for whatever reason is forced to answer for her mistake by sacrificing her life to it and thus committing a sort of self-actualization (metaphorical, for those who didn’t find this obvious) suicide; and then, of course, the child, who will likely be outcasted by the children of zealous bigots like so many who’ve replied to Ohio’s post on this simple blog, and who has a high probability of being raised off taxpayers’ incomes rather than their own mother’s via welfare and medicaid. It’s easy to be pro-life before you’re forced into a situation that causes you, yourself, as an introspective individual, to take a second look at the reality of what’s happened and what is going to happen. If a woman believes she cannot provide a sustainable future for herself and her unborn child, then it is her biological right to abort that pregnancy so that her life is not jeopardized. To think she should be made to sacrifice everything at the hands of what I’m sure many of you consider adultery or promiscuity is unreal. It’s flat-out unbelievable that anyone could think this situation is anyone but the mother’s private choice. I almost want to think that pro-life organizations, untaxed (as in the case of churches, right?), should be held accountable for providing services synonymous with welfare to the mothers who very likely may have to keep their unwanted pregnancies if the almost entirely Christian government imposes anti-abortion laws on its public. The US’s healthcare system is so inherently flawed as it is, and pro-lifers want to throw more people onto that load. It’s not the obvious, so I’m sure most pro-lifers haven’t thought about or realized it, but when that woman has to carry that pregnancy to term and give up her aspirations of a productive future, they’re costing both society and that woman a very valuable freedom. This issue shouldn’t even be contested. I hate to say it, but this is just another reason why this country lags behind other first world nations on so many levels.

My husband is devoted like you are and also a quiet person. Sometimes I long for more communication, and have even let my mind wander into fantasies about what it would be like with someone more outgoing. It doesn’t take me long to remind myself that Mr. Outgoing would certainly not love our children like we love them together. He would not know or care about what we’ve been through. He would probably not be as devoted to us, as willing to support the life that I love. So, what about my mind wanderings? They are selfishness. Wanting more when I already have the world. Oh…and guess what? When I finally explained to my husband how I was feeling, he started to make little pockets of time for us to talk. I didn’t think he was capable of giving this to me…and yet he stepped up. Now it’s time for me to find some ways to step up myself. I think I’ve been slacking in the wife department.

I’m with Marcy and Anonymous Writer–you sound like a solid, committed guy. She seems lost…and I think you’re going to pay too steep a price trying to jump through her fire hoops.

Steve,
If you held a puke bucket, and waited in E.R.’s then you were not absent. You were a working dad/ husband.

I feel that the writer in the feature, deals with the void of a missing father and husband one who was not there during illness and E.R. visits.

I am sorry for your situation. Life is complicated. The writer says she is willing to take a corner of moldy bread…are you?

Steve….you should do her a favor and yourself and insist on a divorce. She is willing to lower her standards? How horrible for you! What about your self esteem. It is not that you are a bad guy…but maybe you can do better, BE BETTER with someone else.

She was willing to risk the marriage and did. Don’t wait for it to happen again.
