    Take me! Take me! Take me! Take me! I'll go anywhere, anytime, and can pack for myself! And I'm FUN! (No sex, though; sorry, I'm married.)

    So I take it you've renegged on going to the K-Hole?

    Oompa, a lot of times when people's marriages are ending, they do desperate things to try to keep them together. Some people have a baby together. Some people buy a house together, so they can't afford to leave. Seems to me that your decision to go back to the KH is your act of desperation to try to find some common ground with your wife. What does your therapist say about all this?

    Take me. Take me. No sex though, I am married. (Well, we will talk.)

    you will see I am much more fun than StAnn. (No offense, but the truth is the truth.)

    OTWO, trust me, it would be hard to beat me for being fun! Maybe we should both go with him so we can take turns keeping him cheered up.

    Damn,

    Right after 9/11, I was still a JW and I had a JW friend from Australia that had been planning to come over for that whole year.

    I begged her not to come, I was scared for her to fly.

    Well she came and went home, and flew back two more times to visit me.

    Maybe you can reason with your wife with the world after 9/11.

    If not, I can be ready

    yesterday!!!!

    i used to work with a guy........... he had a philosiphy........... im gonna get laid on friday(payday) he would straight up tell his wife in a joking manner that with money in his pocket either she would put out or he would find someone who would.......

    now i dont know how much of that was bull but at the heart of it there is a truth. give her first dibbs......... then if she turns you down tell her you will find someone else to go with........... that would be no problem. most people would jump at the chance for a killer trip like that. my brother in law just won a trip from the christmas party at work......... to cancun.......... all inclusive........... he has gotten offers from all sorts of cute girls at work to go with him............. when they say that i wink and say right back to them......... "what happens in cancun stays in cancun"

    best wishes on your dilema

    Guess what? I think the wife is going to get you back into the cancer. At first, it is attend one lousy boasting session. Sounds harmless enough--people have done greater things than that for those who they truly care about. Then, they will want you to go to other boasting sessions on a regular basis. You will probably be given a study from the Washtowel Teach book. The hounders will intrude on your life at this point, making sure you have given up anything you took up (like Christmas music, posting on apostate forums, drinking to the point of getting drunk, and the like).

    After a few months (trust me, they don't give you long), they will seek to reactivate you. You will be out in field circus before you know it. And you will be going back to being hounded all the time--white dress shirt, suit and tie, shiny shoes of whatever color they want, carrying a book bag, pretending to believe what you know is wrong--all because of someone you care about. And, if you stop short at any time, they will have the hounders investigate--and you will be hauled in the back room, where you can lose your family anyways.

    It is better to just quit now. Don't take even that first step. You may still be demonized. But at least your wife will know that going back to the Washtowel Slaveholdery is not going to happen. And, if they try to get her to separate, unless you commit "adultery" and they have proof, she will not be free to remarry. Sooner or later, that is going to wear on her, and she will be back (on your terms, including no Washtowel Slaveholdery).

    Oompa, I'LL go to europe with you. I will eat, laugh, enjoy, drink wine and appreciate the art even if it was created by a gay man for the Catholic Church and/or some evil pope family. I will walk where pagans walked and eat food that pagans would have eaten-and I won't guilt you out about it. I support your medical decisions. I will LIKE you, no matter where you are 'spiritually' at the moment. We could have a great time!!! If you were with me, you could drink without needing to get drunk to get through the day.

    Just saying,

    Love, Shelly
