You know a few years back a former friend of mine was having an affair behind her hubby's back. He had MAJOR issues and this guy made her feel oh so good. She wanted to tell her spouse but I advised against against, basically for her safety. He was so unpredictable that I worried her honesty may have proved injurious or fatal. She had fallen in love with this guy and was at a crossroads, between her JW raising morals still clogging her head or her heart. I told her if she was going to continue to see this guy, she should separate in order to distance herself from hubby's prying eyes. She did and eventually divorced her husband and broke up with that guy. I don't condone affairs, however I don't think an affair is a capital offense, punishable by death. I sincerely think her husband would have killed her. He wasn't a JW, into guns and prided himself on dispensing justice his own way.

sometimes you just don't wanna know

Interesting thought, so you perfer to leave in a fantasy instead of know the real deal on issues

it is interesting cause that type of thinking is what many JW say about their BELOVED ORGANIZATION

so to me to say the same thing about our "Beloved" mate is closing ones eyes in my view

but then again some relationships can't handle the truth, i am fully aware of that fact

i guess my wife and i are LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY type folks

call a spade a spade- i tell my wife all the time

"If i start acting like a JackA$$" THEN tell me to "GET TO STEPPING"

um, hardly. that's why i said "sometimes". some things are just unnecessary bits of information that i'd rather not know because nothing will come of my knowing. if it's a big deal then obviously i want to know. that would be the OTHER times.

(edited to add - sorry if that came off as smart alecky; i'm incredibly cranky today. :)

(edited again to fix misspelled 'edited' and say thanks bro for the cherry, i feel muuuuuch better now! :P but i ran out of posts so i figured i'd sneak this in on the sly ;)

Nope

Some things are best kept secret.
