We have about 1-1/2 years left until my husband's legal relationship with his ex ends and boy are we ready! There will be a party and a bonfire (to burn all those years of documents/contact). I've thought about using document imaging software to save important papers, and we may still do that, but for most of it - huge bonfire in the backyard. HUGE!!!
Hopefully, she'll be able to see the flames in her state! Bring on July, 2013.
I have had 75,000 visitors to this blog! That's pretty cool. My stepfamily blog does even better - double the visitors. I think people in blended families are looking for validation and support and it is nice to have somebody in the same situation as you are to feel like you're not alone in the massive struggles with stepchildren or an ex. Oh the struggles with exes...ugh!
My husband's ex-girlfriend is sending him bills for their adult stepchild's birth control! You would think after the first month or two of ignoring them, she'd stop. Apparently she hasn't taken the hint yet. Crazy!
What type of building is better for farm animals (horses mainly)? Our horses are stabled at a barn that is is cement (keeps it cooler in the summer which is nice), but I was wondering about wood or steel buildings as well. What's best for the horses? What is better cost-wise? What is easiest to maintain?
We have one year and seven months until my husband's child support is done. I have planning to do on FINALLY being able to get into a house that we can actually fit into in one year and seven months. Can't wait!!
Is cheating defined as when your partner looks elsewhere to fulfill his or her physical needs? What about if there is no sexual cheating? What if your significant other is sharing intimate details about his or her life with another person that he or she isn't sharing with you? What if he or she has an emotional, intimate connection with another person? Is that cheating too?
For me, the answer is YES. Most definitely, without a doubt, that is a betrayal on an entirely different level that in many ways would hurt more than physical cheating. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't be able to stay with my husband if he physically cheated on me either. I am not wired that way to forgive, work it out, etc. It's too deep of a betrayal to me. However, connecting with a woman on an emotional level that we should be sharing would be a huge loss in itself and again, not something I could work out or accept in my marriage.
If my husband were spending time with another woman, confiding private information to another woman about his life - his wants, his needs, his problems, his marriage - things he should be discussing with and confiding in me about but chose to confide in another woman instead, then that would be cheating to me. He wouldn't have to take off one article of clothing. It'd be cheating in my eyes.
What about you?
Have you ever heard of it? My simple definition of it is when one parent knowingly or unknowingly interferes in a child's relationship with their other parent, to different degrees, to the detriment of their own child or children.
