A Serious Conversation about Affairs.

The other day Mick and I had a serious conversation about affairs. No, neither of us is planning on having one. We were talking about Mary Ann’s recent article as to the primary cause of affairs. The conversation started when I’d asked Mick what he thought it might be. He said ‘greed. They’re not happy with what they’ve got and want something more.’ The other things he mentioned were ‘opportunity and dissatisfaction.’ If people were getting what they needed at home they wouldn’t feel the need to stray and look for something else. It’s when they’re not getting what they … Continue reading →

How Is It Politicians Have So Much Time to Cheat?

I was very disappointed to hear yesterday that John Edwards admitted to having an affair on his wife, Elizabeth. Worse, he did it when she was in the midst of battling cancer. It was just a few months ago when another such scandal forced the then governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, out of office. Edwards isn’t going to face anything like that, but I think he can pretty much forget Obama naming him as his choice for vice-presidential running mate. I happen to like John Edwards, so I’m really disappointed to hear he’s joined the ranks of cheating politician … Continue reading →

Travel Tidbits: Good News for Sports Lovers and Bad News for Smokers

GOOD NEWS FOR SPORTS LOVERS I grew up in a house with four guys and every one of them was a sports fanatic (and still is). If your brother, father, son, or husband has dreamed of taking the wheel of a NASCAR racecar or slamming a stick into a NHL hockey puck coming at him at 120 mph make sure your summer travel plans include a stop in New York City. That’s where your favorite sports nut (male or female) can experience what life is like as a professional athlete. On May 7th the Sports Museum of America will open … Continue reading →

Do People Really Go Looking for an Affair?

Posted on by

I will admit that I am kind of naive when it comes to some of society’s “no-nos”. I have been totally shocked at some of the stories that I have heard. I have been amazed that some people can even think of doing the things that they do. However I do know that people have affairs and that divorces happen everyday of the week. Yet one ad that I saw pop up on my screen did catch me off guard. The ad read something to this sort “Are you looking for an affair?” Until I saw the ad I had … Continue reading →

The Marriage Blog Week in Review for February 25-March 2

It was another slow week here in the Marriage Blog. Not intentionally. Lyn was battling the flu unfortunately. She was busy trying to recover her strength.

But in case you missed any of the few articles we did post, here’s a handy Week in Review recap for your reading pleasure. Tuesday, February 26 Can You Answer These 15 Questions About Your Significant Other? A friend of mine who … Continue reading →

Affairs and STDs

You often hear people talk about the psychological issues they suffer after finding out a spouse has had an affair (namely lack of trust), and there’s the other kind of fallout that manifests (counseling and divorce), but what about the health issues? How many affairs result in the contraction of an STD? Perhaps it’s a weird thing to wonder about. (Then again, I’m prone to that. “How Do Monkeys Keep Their Nails Clipped?” is proof.) But there you have it, I’m wondering about it. I blame Wayne. Not because he cheated and gave me an STD, but because of his … Continue reading →

Home Based Business Idea – Collection Agency

Did you know that those people who call you and try to persuade you to pay your old debts may not be working in some big, central office? That’s right, many of the debt collectors that are making money trying to get a piece of yours are actually home – based professionals. With the economy in its current slow state of affairs, many people have fallen behind on their bills and their creditors are calling on collection agencies for help in collecting payments. In order to be a successful home – based debt collector, you must have the right personality. … Continue reading →

Baby Naming Lists Are Fun

One thing that is fun to think about when you are pregnant is what you will name your baby. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination, and until your baby arrives there will always be the question of whether the name that you have spent hours agonizing over will be a good fit for him or her. There are many baby name lists out there that list popular names, unusual names, celebrity baby names, and so on. Lists are fun to look at and they can provide inspiration too. Recently, I came across a list of the top baby … Continue reading →
