He looked into my eyes and said "I love you". He looked down to the floor and said "I cheated on you". My heart stopped, I thought I was going to be sick. All I had the strength to say was "Get the F@*k out of my house", in a barely audible whisper.After a couple of years, a little therapy, and a thoroughly distasteful divorc... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: The path toward acceptance when a pregnancy takes you by surprise
8 of 57

With an 8 month old on my hip, I tell my (then) husband I'm pregnant. Not exactly what either of us had planned. What were we going to do...what was I going to do. Here I am with an 8 month old BABY and pregnant with another. Well, I figured, at least I had a loving husband who would support us and take care of us. It wasn't ... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Methods The benefits of giving children choices rather than commands
18 of 37

The obvious answer to this question is that it teaches them decision making skills. But isn't that already implied by the title? In all honesty, the benefits go far beyond decision making skills.

What is it about the little things in life?We all say we want them. Holding hands while walking along the beach, snuggling on the couch while watching a movie. But do we really see the little things that we already have in our lives? The smile of my oldest when I make a meal that she is so very suprised that she actually like... More..

The modern day version of a cowboy may be a far cry from that of the past, but he still has that - oh so masculine appeal.No matter what my cowboy is doing I can rest assured that it will be done, and done right. Because a cowboy never half-asses a job. Whether it's fixing the car or the dryer, camping or fishing....there's n... More..

Relationships & Family > Cheating Spouses & Affairs Adultery: Affairs are a "forgivable sin"Smallicon
105 of 116

To clearly define this type of situation as forgivable or not is a misnomer. To say that adultery is or is not a forgivable sin is entirely up to the people involved.For instance, I knew a couple in which the husband had cheated on his wife. He was not in a good place in his marriage. He became emotionally attached to another... More..
