Need marital advice

by lost_light06 in

jw
friends

i need some serious advice.

i just found out my wife has been emailing some guy she met at her work.

she gave him her cell # and said she wanted to get together and connect.

AuntieJane

You care about your wife and your kids. But you no longer want to be a JW. The fact is, IF you divorce,

your wife will probably get the kids and raise them as JW. I don't think you want that.

Print out anything you can find as far as emails, check her closely for just a short time, you need to move fast.

Shower her with attention, all wives crave more of that. Little things. Do not feel guilty for checking

up on her, this is your marriage you are protecting.

If you truly love her at this point, when you have all your facts together, that is the time to tell her

you have a "feeling" that she is hiding something. DO not tell her what you have been doing yet.

Tell her if things are bothering her, you both need to discuss them. Tell her the truth, that you love her

and your kids and want your family more than anything; but that you are having "some" problems

about the Truth and that you need a break for "awhile".

Hopefully she will eat up your attention; if she does not, then you continue gathering ammunition because

you will need it in order to try and keep your kids.

Bless you and stay strong,

Some of your experiences make me SO ANGRY at this org;

But hearing that you survived and are OUT gives me HOPE for my family.

Thank you to everyone who shares their JW experiences here.

Now what?

i had chemo today and i feel terrible.

when i got home i was expected to cook dinner and have the clothes washed since i didn"t work today.. the owner of the business expects me to go to the tax central appraisal district and represent him on the personal property tax for the business.

i just went to bed and had nausea today maybe i will be ok tomorrow and get all the things done i need to.. peace ya"ll.

AuntieJane

Take care of yourself, you need the energy. Now who would expect you to have to do the laundry and cook

after a day like that? You must find the power to stop that kind of control, for your own health.

Can we be honest?

by seahart in

jw
friends

ok, seriously people, can anyone here say they honestly enjoy las vegas?

what an utterly depressing place.

my wife and i went there for a "wedding".

AuntieJane

I like Vegas every 10 years or so for about 3 or 4 days of fun, throwing away a little money, seeing all the glitz...but I

definitely know what you mean. The Greed gets to me sometimes, what a waste of a lot of $$ and lives. Just think

of all the real good that could be done with that money.

of you are just sick of all the bullshit!!!!

AuntieJane

Understandably you're pissed about your grandma's situation, and those things can just eat at you and make you MAD as HELL!

then you get over it a bit...then it HITS YOU AGAIN....then you settle down.....it's just the JW infiltration...don't forget your

flak jacket!

Cheer Me On Rah rah rah!

by AuntieJane in

jw
friends

ok, here is something you haven't read on this board.

i don't get on any other boards & not here very often but thought i'd get your reactions on this event in my life.

my 24 yoa married daughter (2 years married) decided to go back to school to finish her degree.

AuntieJane

Thanks everyone. I know they are adults, and I have to just hope they are able to do this together. I am proud

of her for wanting this, but in some ways I am skeptical because her nature is to try something for awhile and then

lose interest. However, she LOVES cheerleading, being fit, dancing, and I think she is determined. I have 2 other

single adults, both older than she is....they are pretty traditional thinkers, this one has been my sweet unexpected

3rd child and never fails to keep things, well, interesting!

IT REALLY did me good to hear so many positive remarks; I know I need to support them both, you've helped me a lot.

OK, here is something you haven't read on this board. I don't get on any other boards & not here very often but thought I'd get your reactions on this event in my life. My 24 yoa married daughter (2 years married) decided to go back to school to finish her degree. The kicker is that she got a cheerleading scholarship and will be one of the top cheerleaders. The other kicker is that she will be living 6 hours away, so she and hubby will meet every few weeks as he is busy working. It broke me up when she first told me this is her dream, and he was OK with it. I tried to get her to look at closer schools but this one fits her purposes. They have no kids, I guess I am just a traditionalist but with the divorce rate growing higher and higher it concerns me. She worked on the idea for about a year, got her loans etc. and is now there at school.

She's always marched to a different drummer, creatively, than the rest of the world, and that is why we all love her. But this worries me still. I know there are more crucial situations people deal with, but it has stressed me. I've accepted her decision, as long as her husband has, but I still don't like the distance thing.

I Got The Phone Call Last Night - My Dad Died

by BrendaCloutier in

jw
friends

my mom called last night to tell me he passed on sunday.

he died peacefully and fairly painlessly.

my mom said she was talking with him, went to answer the phone, and 5 minutes later he was gone.

AuntieJane

Sorry for your loss, Brenda, but it was one of those blessings wasn't it. Alzheimer's is a death in itself.

At any rate, I'm glad you're going; be supportive of your mother, she'll be glad for it. Some unasked for

advice: don't overdo the 'look' just to make a statement. Just be there for mom, and make a statement that

way. At any rate, you have my sympathy.
