Does your husband get angry or mad when

AnnaB7 @AnnaB7 (756) • United States 30 Jul 08

brilliantmom I agree with you. we should be like this only. We cannot confide ourselves to every other person. But unfortunately, i m the one who takes everybody at his face value and share my secrets with every so friendly-looking (?) buddy. But now i shud change.

How do you force yourself to do something?

purplehyacinth @purplehyacinth (575) • Philippines 30 Jul 08

I feel lazy today.. I have many things to do.. But I dont feel like doing them.. What I have always believed is, in order to do something, there must be driving force that overcomes a resistance. I have lost all my driving force.....

brilliantmom Hey I also feel lazy so many times. Yes, there is always a load of work before me and God knows where my enthusiasm goes. If laziness or mood swing is too much, you can take a break- an hour off or a day off. It is not bad in my point of view. Coz it gives you...

Why do Women stay with Abusive Men that beat them and virbally asault them?

sweetierook @sweetierook (311) • United States 28 Jul 08

brilliantmom Women are very complicated. When they love somebody, they love even his abuses and beatings. After constant verbal and physical abuses, women tend to have so low esteem that they donot think there is any other place for them. Lack of financial security and...
