How Do I Get My Wife Off Drugs?

Posts Tagged ‘Just’

I have been married for about 3 years. I met why wife when I was an english teacher in Osaka. Dating was wonderful, she always visited me, we toured all over Japan and SE Asia. Generally had a great time. We relocated back to my home town in a pretty small midwestern town. We moved around a bit as I had a job in Boise for a bit but quit as I didnt like it. And are back in my home town. She had me promise we would leave this year to either to return to Japan or move to a more metro area to enjoy life more (SD or Hawaii or Miami). My job is stable and in the past years her parents and neice have visted us, one fried came over. We have hosted Japanese univ students. We have traveled all over the US and went on a cruise. To me its been pretty good life.. BUT

The in the past years she is just ‘mean’ to me. I know I am not perfect. i dont smoke, drink or really have any bad habits beside nail biting. I have gained some weight and snore, which is not great. But we often play tennis, go to kickboxing class, go cycling.. and now I am on a diet drug to help reduce my weight which should help w/ the snoring. I am pretty professionaly motivated and have some decient IT certs. We havent slept together in a while due to my snoring (yeah its sorta bad).. I am very attracted to her. She often complains that I wont wear contacts and when I grew out my ‘stubble’ she enjoyed it and oddly I foudn her snapping photos of me at events when I am not looking. I dont want to be vein but I think that sorta hints she is still attracted to me (aleast w/ thick stubble).. ;)

BUT she is SO mean.. I know when I was in Japan I missed my family from time to time but I am not so close to them. Her family is VERY cool and really spoil her. I have tried to go out of my way to make her feel as free as possible here. I got her a nice VW beetle not cause its expensive just cause its safe, girly, and I recall the feeling before I had a scooter in Japan and that stuck/locked in feeling.

So Thurday is her 30th birthday.. I planned a party at an all you can eat sushi place.. 15 firends have RSVPed. I setup an appoitment to go for a 30min ride in a little airplane (cessena) so she could have a new experience, and ordered in a new braclet from coach.com.. yeah she conditioned me well, how could anybody not be happy with this. But I know this cant bring her family closer. She constantly complains that I havent learned Japanese and that if I want to ‘argue’ with her I shoudl learn Japanese.. come on HOW long would that take. I know I should learn but trust me its difficult as I have a ‘math’ type brain.

BUT I think the problem is that she feels being stuck in this small town is a form of ‘isolation’ abuse. Ie typcially ‘mean’ guys say you cant go out, you cant talk to him, your not allowed to do something.. And I think she gets back at me by just being mean. She has said often she wants you yournger husband, better looking to me this is REALLY rude. She is really hurting my feelings. And I feel this has gone on for a few years.

There is a cultural difference and I try to do all I can but I think this is the biggest issue. Another issue is she was never happy with the wedding party we had, as we were between countries. When we first got back to the US, I had like $3000 and no job.. We moved around and planning something has been hard as her Ps are so far away.. but most importanly I just always feel like I am around the cornor from a divorce let alone a WEDDING..

Friends have told me your FAR to nice to be treated this way, and that its time for me to live for myself. I really enjoy being married, I dont like chasing women. I feel I have been lucky to have a few really great long term relationships and am sad about 1 or 2 that I dated that I really wanted to have something happen but it just didnt.. but I cant take much (or any) more of this.

doors have been smashed in fits of rag, there is wall putty in place.. it just not right.

its becoming very hard to go to work, do my job and be happy knowing there is nothing to come home to that is nice, sweet, kind.. or even appriative of what I do.

I have seen one counslor but could not contiue with as insurace would not pay. a co-worker r’cmd a private marriage cousulor he has used and I think its time for that. but part of me just wants to forget it, ‘how could it be so messed up now’ I cant even imagine if we had kids (luckly we dont!)..

So… Should I just end it and start my own healing process. I have been there before, it s-cks but I know I will make it..

(sorry for spelling and grammer errors, pretty emotional now)..

I am literally disgusted by men.
I knew most were capable of lieing and being deceitful in order to get sex from women with low self-esteem, but I never thought my husband was one of “them”. Why would I want to be entangled to someone who lies and uses women? If he uses, lies to and manipulates other women to get what he wants, why wouldn’t he just lie and use me too?
In all my life, I never envisioned, imagined or thought I’d be married to a man who peruses craigslist, facebook etc… looking for naked pictures and casual meet-ups for sex while he claims to be happily married and loyal to me.
Then, he tells these women that we have nothing in common and that’s why he’s looking to them for companionship. By nothing in common does he mean that because I am a good person, and he is not? Because otherwise, we have a whole lot in common. We both make each other laugh and have a similar sense of humor, we both care about our families, we’re both intelligent, we both try to please others, we are both hard-workers with plans to start our own successful businesses, we are both ambitious, we both have similar goals to own multiple real estate investments, we both enjoy each others company, we both like going out to eat, watching funny movies etc, we both keep ourselves in great physical shape, neither of us does drugs or has alcohol problems, we both try to spend more time with friends but usually wind up choosing each other instead, we both love documentaries on tv, neither of us grew up in a exceptionally healthy home environment, both of us love animals etc… Seroiusly, am I missing something? Is there usually a lot more that people have in common? When I confront him about having nothing in common, he tells me that he just told them that and that we do have many things in common… Who is he lieing to, me or them?

How am I supposed to trust this person? Does he even know what the truth is?

I still can’t stop myself from crying whenever I think about it.
It’s like he had no consideration.
I though he was the best of men. What if I am right and he is one of the best of them? He did aplogize for trying to soloicit sex from a myriad of people. He says he never actually met up with them. ?????? What if he is one of the better ones and the unfortunate fact is that most guys are really skeezy and don’t deserve our time, energy or love?
They do say infidelity exists in about 50% of marriages…And then domestic abuse exists in another % and men molesting their daughters exists in another % and men who raped others before marriage exists in another % and men who are otherwise horrible but their wives stay with them anyway exist in another %, and men who go out and unsuccessfully attempt to have affairs that no one finds out about exists in another %. So, what’s left?
To the person who said women are just as guilty and that I should look to myself first. I have looked ta myself! I would never have an affair. It’s wrong and selfish.
To Tyawanna. Yes, my post seems focused on the negative because a life changing, bad thing happened (infidelity isn’t good right?). Statistic’s show men are responsible for more WAY MORE violent crimes than women and more infidelity than women, So I was just wondering what % out there are really good men? I understand why you said my post was focused on the negatives, but I am just trying to understand why this happened?

Arlette you say you’d never let your man get away with disrespecting you, yet your advice to me is to reward him for seeking sex outside the marriage and probably having an affair. I was happy with him and supportive before all this happened? WHY ARE YOU BLAMING ME FOR THE BAD CHOICE HE MADE?

ok this article explains alot. My marriage in a nutshell:
1 we sleep in seperate bedrooms
2. Intimacy (what’s that ??)
3. only staying together for the kids. ( no messy divorce,no child support,no alimony)
4. He has his computer games ( second life,in which he has “cheated” and “gotten married”, and “had a second family” twice now.
5. had suspecious scratches and hairs on him/ his body, that I have found a few times.
6. His diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol has killed my desire to be intimate with him.
7. he hears what i say, but doesn’t necessarily listen to me. Sometimes tuning me out completly so he can continue to play his 2nd Life or W Of W. ( World Of Warcraft).
Which he gets very happy with,showing them more emotion with them than he ever did with me.
8.We act more like friends than husband and wife.

the positives:
1. Good to the kids when he has the money
2, non smoker
3. non drinker
4. non drug user
5. non abusive,
6. He knows my moods and tolerates me
7. easy to get along with, ( really laid -back)
8. not a picky eater, ( not really anyway)

I am still hopeful that ONE DAY I’ll fall in love. Our marriage is a comfortable one, not the most passionate,love-dovey type, but just comfortable, like an old friend who knows ya and likes ya anyways.

He sleeps, or drives cab, or is online.
I am cleaning house or, cooking or sleeping or online.
Under the same roof, we have seperate lives, seperate interests, seperate rooms…
Like I said, i have yet to fall in love, to give all of myself.
He wanted June Cleaver,and I wanted to be the next Ann Rice.
So,my sleeping in my own room,is my little way of being resentful towards him. My kids are great kids,they don’t misbehave, they are not troublemakers, or fighters, or disrespectful.
Like i have stated, i have a comfortable marriage. We are more friends that anything. No intimacy, no PDA’s and for the most part, like 95% of the time,i can rely on him. I trust him with the kids.
But the “I don’t know where those scratches came from,hun,” and the two hairs that weren’t mine and the ” I dunno where that money went” don’t make me love him.
In fact,that is the reason we sleep seperate and why I can’t love him 100%.
I am 80% happy,or should I say ” content.”
people think that we have a great marriage because he is a sweet guy.
he “doesn’t look the type to cheat.”
He does his “cheating” online. In role-playing games.
Leaving me to do what ever i want to. This has been this way for years.
is this normal???
I am content, but i need love, affection,a listeneing person and well, intimacy. To connect with someone, not just exist with them.
I dont want to leave him,because of the kids.
is this normal too?
Just asking.

He is impotent. My mom had raise dme that if he couldn’t ” be a man” he wasn’t worth it. That kind of stuck in my mind.

well yeah at first i was sure kurt cobain had committed suicide but there is some undeniable evidence that it could have been murder. for example, afler he disapeared for a few days, his wife Courtney Love sent a private investigator to go find him. they didnt find him in his house, but they day right affter, he was discovered dead in that house. it looked like he blew his brains out. but the thing is that doctors said he had been dead for about 5 days.

also they found high traces of heroin in his blood, and they said it was 3 times the lethal amount and that if he had taken that much heroin, it would have been difficult for him to grab the gun and shoot himself. look at this website for some of the evidence:

www.cobaincase.com
also people, Kurts body was missing his credit card. a few minutes before his death, someone used his credit card to make a charge. the credit card or the person using the credit card where never found. after kurt’s body was discovered and immediately publicized, kurt cobain’s credit card was not being used.

I just found out that my boyfriend of almost two years has been cheating on me with his ex lover. I found out by accident when his yahoo messenger popped up on our computer. I am baffled. I have done nothing but love this man and he is the love of my life. We have both been married before and technically he still is which is why we’re not (his ex wont sign papers) We have a brand new baby boy together and I found out he was trying to hook up with her just days after he was born and while I was pregnant. There is no emotional connection between the two just a sexual one. To make matters worse she is 52! I am 29 and he is almost 28. Can you imagine how I feel?! I read all of their emails and the words just keep playing over and over in my head. I am afraid that it will never go away and how can I trust him not to do it again. He says that he’s been trying to tell me for a long time and nothing has happened in a few months which has been verified by email dates. He says he doesn’t know why he did it that I’ve done nothing wrong and I couldn’t have done anything differently. He was cheated on by his ex wife a couple of times and he is forever hurt by this. After they seperated he went on one of those wild binges with girls and then we met. We both have children from our previous marriages and he went from being a wild man to being settled down with three kids and one on the way. Quite a change but still no reason to cheat in my eyes. But, I love him soooo much. He makes me feel like Ive never been in love before him. I don’t know how I would survive happily without him. I would cry more than I do now thinking about him cheating. What should I do? How can I get on with it (its only been two days)? What guidelines should I set so he doesnt think he’s getting away with something? Please help me….I’m desperate and I can’t tell my family because I don’t want them to hate him.

so two years ago I married the man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. We get married, I get pregnant and come to find out he wasn’t the person I thought I was marrying. He is an alcoholic and over the past two years of our marriage has had alot of issues, jail, lieing, stealing, you name it. but being the supportive wife I was I supported him. Last year in July he left me and our girls and left the state to his moms because being away from his drugs and alcohol was getting to hard so he left, went on one of his binges, became incarcerated and I moved on. Come November we started talking again and he promised he was done and wanted to make it work with me and the girls. So he moves back and of course I carried a grudge on my shoulders for he had done and it was hard, I still didn’t trust him when he came back but I tried. I found him a job, supported his recovery, and not to mention he didn’t have a license so I made sure he was where he needed to be 24/7 even if it meant dragging our kids out at 12 midnight. I did so much and come to find out since he’s been back he has been cheating on me with little teenage girls?? He’s 25…..so I kicked him out last weekend and already he is with his little girlfriend. he hasen’t called, nor checked up on his daughter. I call my father in law and he totally switched it around saying that if I would of just trusted him and gave him a clean start when he came back and forgot what happened in the past and don’t be down his throat so much he wouldn’t of left and now this is my bed to lay in. I am just hurt, for almost three years I have taken care of him, supported him and yeah it has been hard because of the emtional rollercoaster he put me through, but I feel so low. How can I get over this, he is scum and I know my life was going no where, but the fact he lied and just moved on with his new girlfriend and showed no remorce or emotion what so ever??? What can I do, and I have no way of contacting him, his dad said he dont want me knowing where he is at or to contact him anymore and i have filed for divorce, but how can I get over the emotional state and just move on and stop thinking about what he did and is doin?? I keep putting it in my head that maybe I was in the wrong and I should of been more supportive, but I tried. Then all of our happy times we shared keep poppin in my head and I just think, how could he?? Over a week now has passed and he hasn’t seen nor called about our daughter, nothing….I just don’t know how to feel?!?!

depressed. His depression has him drinking heavily everyday and night and my problem is that he keeps dragging my fiancee into the binge drinking and bar hopping. The are both former alcoholics and now that my my brother inlaw has lost his girlfriend he is actively trying to break us up too so that he won’t be alone and misrable. I am eight months pregnant and expecting my fiancee to be mature enought to see this but all he wants to do is drink now with his stupid brother who never called him or did anything for him until after his girlfriend left him and now he wants to come to our house everyday to disrespect me. Should i leave these two jackasses and let them drink theirselves to death or what? My fiancee’s mother confided in me today that he was physically abusive to his first wife so that just adds to the many reasons that I believe that trying to work things out wll be a waste of my time. My daughter deserves a better father I think. Or am i being selfish and unreasonable?

We were married in 2002, it was one of the happiest days of my life, I didn’t have a single doubt in my mind, she was my best fried too.

It’s been almost 9 months now. We have a beautiful 4 year old boy who is the light of my life. I am just getting my life back together. I thought I had a happy marriage, nothing out of the ordinary, normal marriage going on 6 years, dated for almost 2 years before we got married. I loved my wife very much and I thought see loved me too, but I got the shock of my life.

I was a loving husband never drank, did drugs, cheated, gambled or lied to my wife, not a perfect man but responsible. We never argued, except for minor disagreements that we always worked out. And we we not in any financial debt, granted we weren’t making millions but when had everything under control as a team. We both come from stable families also.

The signs of her wanting out almost came out of no where, because she was talking about having another child 2 months before and got a room ready for the baby. It shocked everyone, and turned our lives upside down. I was numb, confused, scared, depressed, but tried not show any of it for my son sake. I want him to remain as happy as possible.

I pleaded with her to go to counseling, but she said we were past that. I tried to paint a picture for her about what she was doing, but she didn’t care. She didn’t want to talk about anything and gave me vague answers, she said there was no one else. She said horrible things, but I didn’t reply with anger, I bit my tongue. I gave up verbal pissing matches when I was younger because they never get you anywhere, but more anger and confused.

The reason she gave was that I didn’t listen to her, or that I did but I didn’t understand her. I told her everyone processes things differently and if she thought I wasn’t listening, lets find a different way to communicate. No chance, “we were past that” I said I never had the chance in the first place, and she just clammed up.

So now she was someone I didn’t even know, I got some counseling myself from therapist good in the field. They told me to support here decision, so I did mostly for my sons sake, at this point because he was very confused and scared as well.

I even helped her find an apartment for 4 months and now she has a house of her own, which I help renovate since I am a contractor by trade. It was killing me to help her leave me, but I did it because I am a better person then she will ever know and I love my son. I wanted a good place for my son to live and I wanted things to stabilize out. She even wanted to move 2 blocks away, but settle for about a half mile.

Everything is about her, she puts herself first and doesn’t seem to care about anything unless it for her. I have stopped being available to her needs about 2 months ago, because I am no doormat and she has abused my kindness, again anything I do now is for my son and myself.

Oh, and we have the same lawyer too things are amicable on that front because we decided not to give the lawyers the money. We both have equal time with our son. Nothing makes any sense at all.

I would have never left her or broke our family up under any circumstance. Life and marriage are not perfect and when I took my vows they were for better or for worse. (sigh)
When there is a breakdown in communication it is both parties responsibility to tell the other.

Not everyone is completely intuitive, especially after a long day and when there is a toddler in the house, they require a lot of attention.

Like I said I would have never given up on my wife, all she had to do was say we need more quality time or your not listening we need to get help to learn how to communicate again.

A young lady and her child were driving home when a truck with three construction workers, all intoxicated, hit her and killed her and the child. It was a hit and run since they drove off, but two cars kept pursuing them and led the cops to them.

Here it’s one of the hottest discussion topics now. It is their fault of course for driving drunk, but is it our government’s fault as well for not enforcing our borders and penalizing employers? Is it employers’ fault for hiring these people to attract them to come here? Is it also Mexico’s fault for turning a blind eye to the situation here?

The woman’s husband is suing the government because he says that if we enforced our laws, the illegal immigrant would not be here and his wife and child would still be alive.
“Me”: The young lady and child were Hispanic. This is not about race.

Why do alcoholic think it dosn’t hurt anyone but them when so many people care about them? My ex became an alcoholic also and he lost respect from many friends and does nothing but stay home with his wife and drink, get loud and make a fool of himself….don’t they know what they are doing to those who love them?

his life after about 2 years because i moved away and traveled for my job and we are starting to see him now and I’m trying to get joint custody of him but i owe the mother back child support would they still look at me as a bad father if i was trying to get him back into my life and had a stable home and job ..and the mother is living off the government and she got arrested for heroin and child neglect with injury and the child was sexually abused while he was in foster care and they wouldn’t like me take my child because he was in wv and i was in tx i would have had to quit my job and move back up here and never would have found a job here or a house in that amount of time so he stayed in foster care for 7 months while she was in rehab just getting a slap on the wrist..so what do you think my chances are of getting joint custody I’m trying to make everything rite
and for the record for those of you that think i left my x for a nother women because im just a dead beat your wrong because I didn’t she was abusive to me mentaly and physicly and what was i suppost to do when all she ever did was fight with me infront of my child and leave me when he was 6 months old and went with a drug addict that i didn’t know about untill she went to jail for narcotics so there for im not the bad one and i have had it ruff the past 2 years every job is dead end she went to court stating i made 2700 a month when i was in texas and i was only making 1200 a month and they exspected me to pay her 500 a month so i dont know how that works but yeah!

After over 13 years of marriage, my wife has left and says she wants to be by herself. She has left several times before in our marriage for similar reasons and I have gotten her back. For the past 10 years, she (now 42) has been going through menopause with all that goes with that. The past year has been okay as we have enjoyed each others company and done fun things, even though it has been sex-less and filled with mood swings, etc. I am a christian and love my wife and am having a hard time dealing with the situation. I hate to see her destroy herself, much less our marriage. She seems to exhibit all the signs of clinical depression except for being suicidal (as far as I know). She has tried hormone replacement therapy and uses “happy drugs” to try and help with mood swings, but no help. I guess my question is, how can I get some REAL help for her and possibly save our marriage or should I just take care of myself and hope for the best for her?
To address some issues presented here: I have suggested counciling – she declines, we have been to church together – I still go, she stopped, I have suggested exercise and diet – she agrees, but never acts on it, I do most of the housework and cooking to pamper her – no help, I have taken her on many “fun weekends” away and vacations – no change, I have suggested doctor consults for change in HRT and “happy drugs” – she does not follow thru, she has issues with jobs (changed five times in 10 years), she has issues with her family (arguments with her daughter {not speaking from time to time} as well as her sister and mother and my two grown children. I think the point here, for me is, you can lead a horse to water. Maybe I have tolerated it too long and not been more insistant that she find help. Is there REALLY anything that I can do to help her, I think marriage is holy union of God and am concerned about that, but I am more concerned about her future health-mental and physical.

My wife and I have been separated for 3 months and about a couple of weeks ago we started going to marriage counseling. In the first session, she told me and the therapist that she’s only here to help me and that she still wants a divorce. That she doesn’t want to take the RISK of returning back to me. Now that we are on our 4th session, it seems like MC has been useful. She seems to be more into the therapy sessions and has not bought up the divorce. We even scheduled future therapy appointments together. I am still a little bit confused of her intentions and how much longer are we going to go to MC until I know whether to move on or reconcile. I don’t want false hope but the therapist said that she’s confused. I dont want us to go to counseling for the next 3 -6 months and at the end, we still going to divorce The MC wants me to be patience. We have been together for 8yrs and married for 1 year. No infidelity, physical abuse, or drug use. Just BAD communication between us.
I know that I have asked similar questions before but I need more advice from guys.

8 years is a long time to throw away over something so trivial.

He laughed when i yell at for smoking reefer, so I beet him with the walking stick, my grandpa beat with me. My wife say it is wrong to do to child, It cant bee bad he only bleeded out a little bit, and smoking the pot is bad for the soul, I don ot want to him be drunk alcoholic!
why swear at me?

He then indulges in Alcoholic Drinks

and comes to work angry and emotional, and he sees a woman driving without lights or is drunk etc, and she is a little rowdy, will he properly take on her, by tasering or even beating her up or may be even shoot her?
do the police stop their officers going to work if they are emotional, something happen at home etc, how do they now?

It’s a very sad world we live in when Sir Paul McCartney and his wife are

facing divorce and all anyone seems to want to do is make jokes about her

false leg. Personally, I think it’s prosthetic.

News reports have confirmed that Paul McCartney has separated from his

wife Heather Mills-McCartney. Mrs Mills-McCartney is said to be distraught

over the split. “He has been my crutch for so long”! She said in an

earlier briefing, “I have no idea why this has happened, I’m really

stumped”

“She’s running around in circles”, according to a close friend, “she needs

all the support she can get. It’s not like its easy to walk out on a

relationship like this”

After his break up with Heather, Paul was asked if he would ever consider

going down on one knee again. Paul said he would prefer it if we called

her Heather.

It is not known whether a pre-nuptial agreement was signed prior to the

marriage. Paul McCartney is one of the richest men in the world, and if an

agreement has been signed it is believed that she won’t have a leg to

stand on.

Rumours abound over the split which have suggested that infidelity may

have been the cause. “She’s terrible” a source stated, “always trying to

get her leg over”.

Another source has suggested that her battle with alcoholism was the

cause. “Macca couldn’t handle it anymore” a friend said, “he would get

home at night and find her legless”

Many have attributed this to a problem which started with the present that

Paul bought her prior to the wedding. He gave her a new prosthetic leg for

Christmas but that was just a stocking-filler.

A miner in Africa has an accident and loses a leg. He says to his mate

“I’m f—ed, who will want a one legged gold digger?” His mate says “try

Paul McCartney”

Finally a poem by Sir Paul McCartney:

I lay upon a grassy bank

My hands were all a quiver

I slowly removed her suspender belt and her leg fell in the river

These jokes are funny but lets spare a thought for Paul please. Now she

has left him, he’s going to struggle to find another woman who can fill

her shoe.

It is SUMMER, and that’s the time for stuff to cool off! She is upset because I drink a lot, but I am NOT an alcoholic; I can take it or leave it, and I simply choose to take it.

She is worried that the kids will get into my popsicles, but I am sure this will never happen, as I told them not to. Besides, they like when I drink; they had great fun the time I got into an argument with a horse on the street, at least until the police hauled me off. They like their drunk daddy, and enjoy doing things like making obstacle courses for me to run through while wearing my wife’s Prada high heels on my size 13 feet. The way my wife carried on over that one, you wouldn’t believe. She wasn’t even happy after I went to Walmart and got her another pair of heels to replace the ones my feet shredded.

Anyway, you can see that I am just your normal guy who likes to relax with a drink every hour or so. How can I make my wife understand that the only one who has a problem here is her?
“…keeps giving me grief….”, not “heeps”; I’m a little drunk, apologies.

Let me see if I have this straight…..

* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you’re ‘exotic, different.’

* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, yours is a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that Registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,
Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive and next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a true Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious Law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America ‘s.

* If you’re husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

Just something for everyone to think about.

A couple days ago, I saw a show that had parodies of the Law & Order characters, with Det. Briscoe constantly commenting on his alcoholism and his ex-wives. Any idea what show this was? It’s killing me!!!!!
