Marriage Counseling
Marriage coming to an end? Please help!
Hello, Im here looking for some much needed advice. I have been trying to get into counseling for two months now and still have not had an appointment as of yet. Here is a bit about my situation, Ill apologize now if i write a novel.I'm at the crossroads of my life
I plan to tell my husband of 4 years tonight that its over. I know in my head its the logical thing to do. We are both in our 40's and we never intended to have any children.What do I do about recent breakup?
So about a month and a half ago, my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years and I broke up. He is afraid of the next step to our commitment, which I think he thinks is either engagement or marriage. I have not pressured him explicitly, but being a girl, I'm sure I have subconsciously. His reasoning was that he says he needs time to be single and selfish and that he has issues to figure out, but still really cares about me. He says it has nothing to do with me and that if he wanted to be in a relationship right now he would be in one with me. We have been in contact since we broke up and when we do talk or see each other, it is like nothing happened and is totally normal between us. I feel like he is my best friend so it is so hard not to stay in contact with him because even when I don't instigate the conversation, he does. I know a lot of people will probably say don't talk to him, but I don't know if that is the solution. He tells me that the upcoming holidays, Valentine's Day, and his birthday will be really hard for him (he is 30 and I am 27 and this all seemed to stem from his fear of turning 30), but that he feels like he needs these next 6 months to clear his head. He said that time will tell what will happen with us, and I do believe that, I just hate waiting :) Also, his twin brother, who has been dating his girlfriend for almost 4 years has what seems to be the same issues with commitment. It is weird because they come from a great family with great commitment role models. Their mom and dad have been married for 40 years and their older brother has been married for 10 years. I just don't know what to do with regards to this. I am trying not to hold myself back and to go and meet other people to see what is out there, but I really had thought that we were going to spend our lives together. Does anyone recommend couple's counseling? Has anyone been in a similar situation? I just need some guidance. Thanks!Multiracial Relationships

Hello and welcome!
I don't really know who would possibly be reading this, I only know that I've been reading other blogs and I've become 'hooked'. I find myself thinking of the things I would like to say or write about - pretty much all day long. I kinda figure that at the very least this is going to be a bit of a journal while I'm trying to figure out my life. We'll see where it goes from here...
I think I should start at the beginning, but which one? The beginning of me and my life? The beginning of my relationship with my soon to be ex-husband? The beginning of my trying to be 'me' as a single and dating Mom (now)?
I guess we need some background here to start off... So basic me:
- I am a small town girl that moved to the big city to go to College. I have a Degree in Psychology and Sociology as well as a Diploma in Child & Youth Work. I tell you this only because for so long I felt that my job really defined me (but that's a whole other entry...).
- So I moved to the city in June 1995. I had two roommates from my hometown. I met my future husband on November 29, 1995. So my big city dating lasted for only a short 5 months. I met 'him' on a telephone chat line. My roommates and our friends would all get on the extensions around the apartment and flirt and chat and goof around on the chat line. Slowly we all started going on on our own and actually meeting guys seriously. I can't remember exactly how many but I probably met around 8-10 guys off of the chat line.
McDonnell thesis dispels any illusion of moderation in Virginia candidate’s views
Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate, Robert McDonnell, referred to the American tradition of separation of church and state as folklore, that feminism was the enemy of families, and the legalization of contraception for unmarried couples as illogical in the thesis he wrote while a student at Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Regent is the former CBN University founded by Christian Broadcasting Network owner, the Rev. Pat Robertson.Liberal Lies About National Healthcare: Fourth in a Series
By Ann Coulter 09/09/09 http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=33485 12) Only national health care can provide "coverage that will stay with you whether you move, change your job or lose your job" -- as Obama said in a New York Times op-ed. This is obviously a matter of great importance to all Americans, because, with Obama's economic policies, none of us may have jobs by year's end. The only reason you can't keep -- or often obtain -- health insurance if you move or lose your job now is because of ...Liberal Lies About National Health Care: Third in a Series (Commemorative Plates On Sale Now!)

Hey -- I have an idea: How about we make everyone in America a multimillionaire by pulling Bernie Madoff out of prison and asking him to invest all our money! Both Medicare and Bernie Madoff's investment portfolio are bankrupt because they operate on a similar financial model known as a "Ponzi scheme."With Gay Issues in View, Obama Is Pressed to Engage
WASHINGTON — President Obama was noticeably silent last month when the Iowa Supreme Court overturned the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. But now Mr. Obama — who has said he opposes same-sex marriage as a Christian but describes himself as a “fierce advocate of equality” for gay men and lesbians — is under pressure to engage on a variety of gay issues that are coming to the fore amid a dizzying pace of social, political, legal and legislative change. Two of Mr. Obama’s potential Supreme Court nominees are openly gay; some advocates, irked that there are no gay men or lesbians in his cabinet, are mounting a campaign to influence his choice to replace Justice David H.
