Oh yes... I'm of course not sure. I can be way off base :-) Let's hope I am. Helene Send a noteboard - 19/04/2011 06:55:13 PM
The divorce where the guy doesn't know what hit him....that's the sad part. Divorce (in my opinion) is typically a sad event. However, the fact that she asked him says that she has a hope that he will respond to her.

~Jeordam


I think that it's both party's responsibility to keep each other up to date on how they feel about certain things. I get the impression that he drowns out her emotional arguments with cold logic. But that doesn't relieve her from the ability to make it clear to him that his behavior is pushing her away, if it is in fact pushing her away.

Relationship - positive development or signs of eventual break down? Helene - 19/04/2011 08:48:26 AM 2114 Views
Helene, I want to give you an answer but... Urza - 19/04/2011 08:58:45 AM 1239 Views
Fair enough Helene - 19/04/2011 10:01:51 AM 1197 Views
Not all inlaws are bad, you know, I prefer some of my inlaws to my own family. *NM* Macharius - 19/04/2011 01:56:03 PM 612 Views
inlaws are not always bad random thoughts - 19/04/2011 02:10:18 PM 1162 Views
I spend way more time with my in-laws than with my own family. Sareitha Sedai - 19/04/2011 02:17:41 PM 1129 Views
I'm like this with my future in-laws too. *NM* Clover - 19/04/2011 04:47:05 PM 590 Views
I think they are right ironclad - 19/04/2011 10:20:39 AM 1365 Views
I see your point Helene - 19/04/2011 10:42:51 AM 1336 Views
Re: I think they are right Macharius - 19/04/2011 01:59:57 PM 1214 Views
I think that's an unfair assumption. Sareitha Sedai - 19/04/2011 02:16:54 PM 1126 Views
What he said about his wife's mother Helene - 19/04/2011 02:59:32 PM 1281 Views
Ew. I would have a problem with that too. Something about that attitude makes me dig in my heels. Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:37:38 AM 1043 Views
No offense... ironclad - 19/04/2011 02:35:53 PM 1278 Views
yes but have you found such a thing? random thoughts - 19/04/2011 03:05:35 PM 1206 Views

how long has it been? *NM* random thoughts - 19/04/2011 03:16:32 PM 606 Views
Don't try to corrupt me with your long term pessimism ironclad - 19/04/2011 03:34:39 PM 1142 Views
sadly I seem attracted to the crazies *NM* random thoughts - 19/04/2011 04:08:14 PM 587 Views
Yes. But it didn't start out like that. Took years to chip away all our rough edges. Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:40:29 AM 1217 Views
Could be either snoopcester - 19/04/2011 10:30:50 AM 1256 Views
True enough... Helene - 19/04/2011 10:44:28 AM 1230 Views
My opinion is the latter. Macharius - 19/04/2011 01:55:00 PM 1229 Views
He definitely has a point about realistic expectations Sareitha Sedai - 19/04/2011 01:56:49 PM 1213 Views

You don't strike me as the "screeching-howler-monkey" type to begin with. *NM* Macharius - 19/04/2011 03:33:41 PM 588 Views
I love just about everything about you Sareitha. Good answers all. *NM* Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:26:34 AM 559 Views
I translated "I will think about it" as a secret but obvious code for. "I don't really want to but Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:34:36 AM 1331 Views
that's what I would have meant if I said "I'll think about it" *NM* LadyLorraine - 20/04/2011 02:00:33 AM 555 Views
The fact that you are referring to a fiancé and comparing it to wife says a lot random thoughts - 19/04/2011 02:09:27 PM 1324 Views
To be fair, me and my fiance have been together for about as long as they have Helene - 19/04/2011 02:57:03 PM 1136 Views
I don't know about everyone but things changed when we got married random thoughts - 19/04/2011 03:16:11 PM 1204 Views
How did things change? Helene - 19/04/2011 04:14:56 PM 1210 Views
Like I said I can only speak for myself random thoughts - 19/04/2011 04:54:04 PM 1227 Views
There's already a 10 year old in the picture for us Helene - 19/04/2011 06:52:44 PM 1194 Views
My husband and I don't understand why people say this. rebelaessedai - 20/04/2011 01:03:31 AM 1317 Views
I did say I was only speaking for myself random thoughts - 20/04/2011 01:58:45 PM 1213 Views
I know. rebelaessedai - 20/04/2011 09:01:11 PM 1422 Views
Sorry for some reason I thought you had just got married. random thoughts - 20/04/2011 09:52:24 PM 1654 Views
Good luck to them! *NM* rebelaessedai - 22/04/2011 04:25:38 AM 582 Views

From the information that you have presented... Jeordam - 19/04/2011 03:50:19 PM 1371 Views
I am in agreement with you, and I'm not particularly Christian. Helene - 19/04/2011 04:11:57 PM 1141 Views
Which is sad (not the agreement, but their potential future) Jeordam - 19/04/2011 06:29:47 PM 1207 Views
Oh yes... I'm of course not sure. I can be way off base :-) Let's hope I am. Helene - 19/04/2011 06:55:13 PM 1192 Views
Could go either way. Dannymac - 19/04/2011 04:36:02 PM 1157 Views
I get the impression that it's more about her forming toward him than vice versa Helene - 19/04/2011 06:56:37 PM 1172 Views
Giving up is one thing, growing past is another. Dannymac - 19/04/2011 10:00:55 PM 1139 Views
Oh, to be fair, he's the friend and she's the wife Helene - 20/04/2011 08:43:12 AM 1077 Views
I don't necessarily think it will end in a breakup or divorce. Clover - 19/04/2011 04:44:11 PM 1139 Views
I think you are 100% right about having a good realtionship with your spouse's family random thoughts - 19/04/2011 05:07:12 PM 1161 Views
I think this is about priorities. rebelaessedai - 20/04/2011 01:07:20 AM 1318 Views
Our priorities may shift over time, too. We're still very young and more tied to our families. Clover - 20/04/2011 03:09:54 AM 1146 Views
Even when younger, I was independent. rebelaessedai - 20/04/2011 05:29:59 AM 1094 Views

Not the former for sure, and maybe not the latter. Palatine - 19/04/2011 05:55:03 PM 1211 Views

Can't tell. nossy - 19/04/2011 10:04:27 PM 1134 Views
I'm with the 'can't tell' crowd. Antigone - 19/04/2011 11:37:17 PM 1570 Views
hell, or she could just not care too much at all LadyLorraine - 19/04/2011 11:43:21 PM 1147 Views
What you said in the original question wouldn't neccessarily mean much to me either way. Tashmere - 20/04/2011 01:56:55 AM 1178 Views
It's not all out "she's worthless", it's more like "she's a bit silly with all her wishes" Helene - 20/04/2011 08:46:49 AM 1140 Views
That would still be a deal breaker for me. Tashmere - 20/04/2011 11:49:09 PM 1147 Views
I'm leaning more towards your interpretation. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/04/2011 02:15:22 AM 554 Views
I don't know. *NM* (I feel bad for the 20 people who viewed this message- my apologies) Vivien - 20/04/2011 04:36:13 AM 1207 Views
