cheating

[pomtzu]

This "story" sounds like it was lifted straight out of one of those old
romance story magazines, or paperbacks.

I was thinking along the same line - that the OP's posts read like a badly written soap opera. They are all so dramatic, and get more so as time goes by. And since we are only the readers of this soap, we know nothing of what was said between the 3 of them, and I for one, don't care. It might have been helpful to this couple, but then again, maybe not. And since this young couple appears to be very green regarding the ups and downs of marriage, they might be getting advice from an "older/more experienced" person, that they think sounds right. It must be - right??? - afterall - she's been married for a long time, so that must mean she knows what she's talking about.

Marigold - please stay out of it and leave the advice to the experts. And I'm not picking on you, and I would advise anyone on here - friend or foe - to do the same thing.

The OP told them to seek professional advice.

The OP told them to seek professional advice.

I'm aware of that - as acknowledged in a previous post.

Perhaps some day you will need a friend to listen to your woes, to support you and to just listen and give love. With your attitude I hope you find someome. Or perhaps when you are crying in someones arms they will say, "sorry can't help you go to the pros"

Marigold, I'm with you. Sometime parents aren't cruel - but are just emotionally unavailable.

For the last few years of my sister's life, my mom was involved with her, and necessarily so. I didn't resent that, but needed someone to talk to at times. Thank God I had a mom-figure at work!
