Oh yaaaahhhh! Now we're 'talking'! Graphic
Comments (16)Oh wow, Jamie!! I love it! You're going to be fun, I can see!!! Glad to see this side of you! See, there is so much more to enjoy with one another! I have to believe that "hosta-folk" have to be the most interesting people and discovering the dimensions beyond hosta, will be great fun for all who are really interested in the sharing of ourselves!!!! I have no problem with you, or your "thoughts"--that's how we all get to know one another better by "talking out" our thinking and sometimes it even makes us see both sides of any issue better! Why do you think we'd like to dunk you in ice water? LOL That is just too cute!!!! More, Jamie, more of your grapics, pix of hosta, and anything else!!!!!! What fun!!! janice I'm out to work in the glorious sun--can't wait to run back in and see how we're doing over here!...See MoreIs this an unhealthy marriage pt 2-we're both in shock
Comments (34)Worried: I wouldn't call our relationship loveless. I love him very much. I believe he loves me. He says often enough and tenderly enough. Yes he has control issues and I have issues dealing with his control. But things have changed a lot since our confrontation and he does try to listen more. As for if I'm happy well at this time we're trying to deal with this situation so I wouldn't say there is a general feeling of happiness. But we're not directing the unhappiness toward each other. When he's not working we are together a lot. Problem is he's working a lot. Lucky for me that whether he's really working is easy for me to know the reason for his trip is work. That doesn't really prove whether he could be cheating although when I've asked him if he is/has he says no. He doesn't act withdrawn but I'm aware that he still could be. I enjoy being with him and he seems to enjoy being with me. Our sex life is everything I could want and he sure seems satisfied too. But he is also very affectionate outside of sex. I pretty much can't keep my hands off him and if ever want to get him to not act angry just touching him usually does it. Doesn't change his mind much but does change his demeanor. But he doesn't speak roughly to me often anyway. Like I said in my first post I almost wish he didn't treat me in the manner that he does because then I could easier resist him. Thanks to Mkroop for pointing that out as manipulation but Lawd! It's still hard to resist him even when armed with that knowledge. Granted in the past that has been because I just let him have his way but that has changed some too. I guess I really need to look up that word narcissistic to see what else is involved other than control. One positive I have gotten from all of your posts is speaking up for myself and not being afraid to oppose him. I don't know what my fear was with that other than not wanting to be a nag for fear it would drive us apart and our marriage wouldn't last. I remember hearing one of my sisters say that he husband was the boss until she started having kids. Now she is definitely the queen bee so I guess there's hope for me yet.

Comments (17)I've had two but not at the same time. The first was from Germany and worked out good. She was a real part of the family and we continue to keep in touch with her. She was here in 2001 at the same time as the terror attacks. I know that was a very scary time for her family in Germany. The other was from Brazil and was here in 2005. She was a nightmare and ended up going to live in another state. This was her goal all along. I found that most are from fairly wealthy homes which is why they can afford to come here in the first place. With the German girl, she told me that it cost her parents $18,000 alone for the program costs. She said that this covered her program in Germany (the one she pays to come here) and the program costs for the U.S. It also covered her airfare and her week long introduction course in New York. It did not cover her spending money. Her parents gave her $400 per month. We did not receive any money, but we knew we wouldn't. Also, we read thru many bios and picked the ones we thought would be a fit for our family. The info provided to us had written recommendations from their teachers, parents etc. We did have to do a little bio about our family but I will say that the one from Germany told me that if she would not have accepted us as her American family, then she would not have received another chance, in all likelihood. I wouldn't tell you not to do this because there are great experiences out there. I will say though that if something doesn't seem right, do not hesitate to get the kids out of your home. Also, when it didn't work out with the Brazilian girl, I demanded that they move her out of our school district. Feel free to email me if you have any questions....See MoreIt's official! We're staying on the farm :)
Comments (14)Hi, Marti :) Yes, this is the same place we've lived for many years, with the old farmhouse next door. Right now, we're just fixing up the manufactured home we've been living in...getting ready for my mom to move in this fall. She is amazing and great friends with my husband, too....so it's a good thing! The old farmhouse is still my 'future' project...just further off in the future. LOL We still may redo it, when we get our finances back to a healthy state, but for now...it's fun fixing up this place. And with the changes we're making, I think it's going to be really cute! Of course, it does help to be able to shop the farmhouse for vintage sinks and other cool details. And....if we decide we do want to move into the farmhouse later on...my mom will have a great space right next door! How are things with you? I've been out of the loop the last few months....See Morehappy2b…gw
