There is this paramedic broad who dropped her duly wedded husband for openly screwing up a strumpet in one dingy niteclub once they had gone out together.

She coined this maxim that all men are dogs and went further to prove her point...

Most of us have somehow spent many years carrying a picture in our minds of a time in our marriages when things were much better the sex was good and things were pretty good. We froze that snapshot and carried it around with us in our...

I had begun to feel there was no chance of revival and that I was either going to have to deal with loneliness and misery forever, or...

So my last post said at the end of my rope, well I reached that several years ago. No I have just tied it around my neck and hung myself out to dry.
BUT... I want to say, it is not the SEX thing although have not had that for over a...

I'm still here. After posting on this subject for nearly a year, maybe even more, I'm still here. I haven't taken the time to write. Heck, other than my therapist, I've not even talked about what's going on inside me. It's so much...

All thing same. I am meeting my man again. (This week!!!!!) Guilt is catching up with me. Actually no one needs to hold you to anything. Not even my husband. He pretends not to know what I am up to. But I know he knows and I wonder how...

Earlier this evening, I told my husband that I want out of our marriage of 33 years. Maybe I'm in shock...maybe it will hit me later...but I don't feel the profound sense of sadness I thought I would at finally--after 11 tortuous years...
