LadyK2 If the 2 of you love each other and are willing to do whatever it takes to work through things and be a family again, then yes, of course it's worth it and very possible. It won't be easy, and you'll both have to work together and not let past hurts get in the...

I am so angry at my husband right now. We were fighting and things kind of got out of control and I said I was completely unhappy in my marriage. He told me that if I was so unhappy then why didn't I just leave. I was so angry at...

LadyK2 I haven't read beyond this post, but here's my take on things. You BOTH were in the argument, you BOTH got angry and said things Neither of you should have said. Forget who started it - that's childish. Remember why you got married in the first place....

What do you think about marriage? Is it still realistic today or is it outdated and unrealistic? What about the current statistics for marriage? Share your beliefs and ideas.

LadyK2 I am happily married to my husband - it is our first and what we hope is also our only marriage. I thought I was going to marry someone else, but luckily it didn't happen - I say luckily because I know it would have never lasted and been an unhappy union. My...

LadyK2 sure - I'm still friends with a few of my ex's and I have pics of them. One of them is even the god-father to one of my kids. I'm happily married and not interested in my ex's as anything other than friends, so it doesn't bother my hubby that I've remained...

LadyK2 My husband calls me several times a day just to check in, and at the end of the work day he calls and lets me know he's on his way home - or that he's running late or going out with friends. He's considerate enough to give me advanced notice of what's...

So I'm sure many of you know I have a daughter that is 11 weeks old. My friend from work offered to watch the baby tonight while my husband and I have an "us" night. Just go to the movies or rent one or just have time for us. Well...

LadyK2 My personal opinion? Next time someone offers to watch the baby, take them up on it - and don't tell him about it! Drop off the baby and go out for a night with the girls or just by yourself! If he can do it so can you! And when he gets home and finds you...

LadyK2 I agree - I have the best in-laws! My mother in law and I had a run in once, when my oldest son was born - she tried to take over everything. I understood she felt she was trying to help us out, but I had done everything when I had my first baby (our oldest...

Do you believe in giving/getting second chances? why or why not?

chance

3 responses

LadyK2 I've been on both ends - the one that gave second (and third) chances, and the one asking for a second chance. I feel if the couple really love each other, and are willing to work past mistakes and hurts, then second chances are a must. Don't give up on...

LadyK2 I've been there! You need to work on it Now before it gets worse. First, you need to fix your communication - maybe for 30 minutes a day you could set aside time for just the two of you to discuss the important things, and go from there. You also need to...

LadyK2 Wanted to add - I'm from Hawai`i and as a show of respect we usually call all elders "aunty" or "uncle". So my kids will refer to their elders as Aunty first name or Uncle first name. Because I and my children all grew up in Hawai`i, and because my husband is...

I often think about this. When you are in a long-term relationship after a while it seems that people don't find each other as attractive any more. They start seeking out the younger and hipper versions of their long term lovers....

LadyK2 I still see the sweet 17 y/o boy I met when I look at my husband. Don't get me wrong, I can see he has aged, and gained weight - as have I - but to me he will forever be 17. He's still taller than me, and he still has the strongest yet most gentle arms I've...
