Maybe . . . We were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe . . . When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.

Maybe . . . It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Maybe . . . The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Maybe . . The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.

Maybe . . . You should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of, and want to do.

Maybe . . . There are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent, a spouse, a love, a friend, a child -- so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real, so that once they are around you appreciate them more.

Maybe . . . The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

Maybe ... You should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.

Maybe ... you should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.

Maybe . . . giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.

Maybe . . . Happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.

Maybe... You shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; don't go for wealth; even that fades away! Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Maybe . . You should pray for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

Maybe . . . You should try to live your life to the fullest because when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling but when you die, you can be the one who is smiling and everyone around you crying.

Jenn,

I realize that last e-mail was intense, but it's something on which I (and, indirectly, Joan and I) really need your help; in fact, I honestly believe you're the only person that can provide the help I seek here.

I believe that you are the only person that can provide the help I seek in part because we've talked about this overall subject (i.e., sexual issues in our respective marriages and relationships) before and, consequently, there is... or should be... a significant comfort level between us as a direct result of such discussions (which extending from the discussion during our Christmas shopping trip to many years prior rack-up as quite a few). I also believe you are the one because we are so close, because I trust you, because you trust me, because I love you, because you love me, and because I know that we both want each other to be happy in all aspects of our lives. Indeed, you are the one with whom I desperately need to work on how to make passionate love in this unique situation.

Thus, I very much look forward to hearing from you regarding the questions and issues raised in that last e-mail. Also, please, even if it seems awkward (though it shouldn't considering what you and I have been through together), be explanatory or comprehensive in your responses... don't hold back. It's critically important; it really is.

Love you,

Adam

My wife and I are separated and have been for 2 months, I invited her to dinner last night for Valentines we had a great time and we made out a little in front of the fire place, she sent me a e-mail telling me what a wonderful job I did on dinner and thanks for a grate evening so now I have invited her to take her out to dinner on the 19th but she sends me this e-mail,

"I appreciate the offer, but I really shouldn’t. I have soooo much to do at home over the next week that I really should just say no. I'm just so behind on everything. Still not caught up from being sick, and then my Dad was here. Don't read this the wrong way. Just need some quiet time for just me, my home and the kids. OK?"

I was also out of town the other day and she called and asked me if I loved her, she told me to tell her again that I loved her, she was crying and she said other people have bigger problems then us we can do this, and I said yes with all my heart, I love you she said she loves me to., and she says she has been up and down about working things out with me.

Now I asked he if she is or was seeing someone else se said no, and what do you all think is see confused or what is going on.

No one has cheated on the other person. We are apart because my son from previous marriage has ADHD and she is not sure she can do this anymore, she says he is running the house, I have told her I will get him in line, she says she and all the kids have lost respect for me and most of all our fights are about the children, hers and mine and then we have one together that is never an issue.

So know she has asked for some space after we got a little close and I have given it to here there has been no phone calls or e-mails between us in just one day, but I get my daughter at 2 on Sunday. So am I doing the right thing by staying away? She also signed up for an online dating sight but after we had dinner she has not been active in 3 days now is it because she met someone, she says she hasn’t or has she stopped looking trying to figure out does she want me and want to save out marriage?

My wife and I are going to have 50/50 custody she is moving out in one week. I have my daughter every Sun-Wed and my wife said if I want to go out on night that I have her that I have to ask her first before I can get a sitter? Any on know or are in the same boat.

Wife and I are divorcing after 6 years of marriage, we are a blinded family and we have one together all the kids are under the age of 12 the kids are happy that we are going our separate ways and divorce. She is moving out next week, she does not want me to be with other women and I do not want her to be with other men neither one of us have cheated that I know of, and see said she wanted to seduce her husband but when I showed that I was interested in the advance she backed off and said she wants but she is not sure as we both know it will not change the fact that we are not going to be together. I left the house to drive around and clear my head she kept calling me on my cell phone wanting to know were I was and were I was going, she stopped talking after I told here she can not play with me like this it hurts. I ended up at Denney's reading a book and drinking coffee. I love my wife but I am confused is she just playing with me or is there more and she can't talk about her true feeli

I have decided to end my marriage of almost 6 years, my wife and I have a 3 year old daughter and my wife has two daughters from previous marriage, and I have 1 son from pervious marriage. I am very good to her girls and she is nasty and hard on my son and wants me to also be hard on him she watches him like a hawk when he eats it does not mater if her child have bad manners she just over looks that and he is never trusted and is called a thief and a lire, she also refused to go to counseling because the problem is me and my son, she said in an e-mail to me, she also said she should not be with me because she is better educated then I am. I am just wondering if the board thinks that I have made the right choice( she is also very controlling and is there anyone out here that has gone or is going through the same thing I am?)

My wife told me the other day that she had a dream about me making out with our divorced female that lives across the street from us and said she needs due more, a little history our sex life is about once a week but it do your business and get off or I want you but I'm too tired. And thoughts

My wife stopped wearing underwear; I asked her why she said she does not like the panty lines?

I am married and have been for 4 years, I have a spelling problem, and I’m a pretty good reader I work hard put my self through DeVry and make over $80,000.00 a year, My wife was a school teacher and now works in the business world making a little less then I do, My questions are:

1. Do you look down on people that can’t spell very well and feel that there not successful in life?

2. If you had a 4 year degree and hubby has an AA would you feel like you can do better?

3. I want to learn how to spell better but it is very hard for some resin? And it affects my self esteem that I feel is affecting my marriage is any on out there have the situation as my marriage does?

4. Does she have a right to cut me down and call me stupped when we fight?
