My Father had Exorcisms Performed on my Mother (Long Post)
I come out of a household of similar circumstances, and it's interesting how Prudie missed the context of this person's predicament. Her advice this week was uncharacteristically (secularly) righteous, and surprisingly wrongheaded, and failed to take into account the dependence issues that arise in families with bizarre religious beliefs, as ...

Christy Brinkley and Peter Cook: Sad or expected?
Most Hollywood marriages end in divorce so this is no surprise. http://www.newsday.com/news/local/ny-nysupermodel1010,0,3611422.story

Divorce Dreams
In response to the question of extremes in marriage, that is, you're either secretly despising your husband and wishing for divorce or calling him your best friend and keeping the peace while secretly despising him, I wonder who these women are? And are those women who eviscerate their husbands in print deluding themselves that they're ...

Weirdmarriage, not Everymarriage
Let me see if I've got this right: There are women out there MARRIED to men they can't spend an entire day with? Sheesh. My husband's a good man. He's not a perfect man, but then again, I'm far from a perfect woman. That's just life. You've gotta learn to take the good with the bad, and in my case, the good far outweighs the bad. If her ...

To 'The Banned One'
It's so amusing when people who choose to escape their purportedly miserable marriages do so by finding someone new and having an affair, and then expect all affected parties to forgive and accept and welcome the adulturous back into the warm family embrace. This situation isn't about a still bitter, betrayed ex-wife who may have poisoned her ...

Is Michelle Obama responsible?
Very good question indeed Mr Hitchens! To tell you the truth, I think he's right. Married women have great influence on the religion of there husbands as is proven by the frequent changes of church denominations in the USA once they are (re)married. If this is true, I wouldn't be surprised the Obama's get divorced when he does not become the ...

Re: Feminism ended Marriage/Family
I came to this very interesting post thread a few days late, by way of Blue Skies by way of another Responder to both Blue Skies and MichaelBernard1 on the Iraq War exegesis as to ''how we got here.'' While I sympathize with this female academician and her illustrations greatly, based on her point of view, I have to either disagree or comment ...

marriage does not guarantee success
I take issue with the idea that ''out-of-wedlock births are a national catastrophe''. I believe the national catastrophe is a lack of accountability. I think that single parents raising childred without the support of the absent parent should be looked at as ''deadbeat parents are a national catastrophe''. The parents remaining with the ...

I decided to reply to this because I am a child of an un married pregnancy woman... when my dad left i was to young to realise it but i knew enough that he was ...
