I don't know, I think if you get on th forums, people get to know you (maybe I should hide - might not be a good thing) and you end up attracting and being attracted the kind of people that you might have much in common with.
It has happened for a couple of couples that I know
I do too, Indy. I don't think the feminist movement did only good things. (Now I'll get it.)
When I was married and didn't have children, my husband and I agreed for a time that I would stay home. I considered it my job to make his easier, keep the house, and allow him to come home to a cold beer, and sometimes - a woman in a negligie. I know what you're thinking - no big deal. She wasn't that expensive.
Then later, I was a single working mom. When my health took a dive and I had to stay home, I was given the greatest of gifts. For the first time, I got to be a stay at home mom. Believe me, it's worth the health problems. Now I homeschool my daughter.
I get to watch this beautiful young person grow and develop. We laugh together all the time - shes getting her humor from me, God help her. She's 12 and we're so close. Most kids this age think their friends are always right. She doesn't. She'll argue my point with them. Emily thinks I'm smart and pretty and funny. I just don't see us growing apart like so many kids and parents do. Maybe some, but I was always close to my mom, and Em and I have the same kind of relationship.
My daughter will ask me anything, tell me everything that's going on. Part of the reason she can do that is because I'm always here with her. I'm blessed.
I'm so sorry, hon. You are not walking all over this woman, babe. She is walking on you. You are still so young. Don't buy into it. I'm so sorry you feel badly, and I know you well enough to know that you really do feel badly, I understand that. But please understand that you have nothing to feel bad about the way you are treating her. You just do what you have to do. Take care of you for now.
