My theory is that teenagers need
to be locked in their rooms until they turn twenty. If anyone would
have told me that raising kids was going to be this difficult, I would
have thought twice about having them.
Seriously, I love my kids but the hell they've put me
through these last few years has been way over the line. What makes
it so impossible is that she won't support me when I think one of them
ought to be disciplined.
Maybe I ought to just leave and let her raise them the
way she wants to. |
Why does he have to yell at the children?
Sure, they do some stupid things once in awhile, but he thinks the only
way to handle them is to scream at the top of his lungs.
Yes it is frustrating at times; especially since the children
have become teenagers. Still, everyone knows that kids today are
growing up too fast. Our's are no different.
I don't think punishing them for every little thing is
right. Sometimes you have to give them a little slack.
I wish he would understand that and take time to let them
know that he loves them. |

The
Stress of Financial Difficulties

Everything was going fine until
we got overextented on two of our credit cards. Then one of our cars
started having all kinds of problems. Since we both work, we depend
upon our vehicles to get us to our jobs.
What really bothers me is that most of our fiancial problems
are a result of her overspending. Also, it's her car that we are
having all of the trouble with.
I have no idea how we are going to pay all of our bills
this month. |
I am so sick of him griping and complaining
about the problems I am having with my car. After all, it was he
who told me to buy it in the first place. It wasn't even the one
that I originally wanted.
Then, he tells me to go ahead and get new school clothes
for all of our children. The credit card statement arrived in the
mail almost a month later and he had a fit. He has absolutely no
idea how much clothes cost these days.
I can't get by on any less. Let him figure it out. |

When
Health Problems Occur

Thanks to her, it seems like we
singlehandedly support our family physician. She must spend half
of her life in his office.
Oh, I know that her health problems are real. It's
just that it is all I ever hear about. She use to be so vibrant.
Now, she has a pill for things I've never heard of before.
To make it even worse, when I coulld use a little affection,
she is either too tired or suffering with a headache.
All of this is too much for me. |
He has no idea what it is like. If he
had half the things wrong with him that I do, he'd change his tune quick.
No one stays young forever. Besides, the things
that are wrong with me are very real. I might even be facing surgery
soon.
Once more, he is no spring chicken, himself. He
seems to forget how many times I have nursemaided him through one bout
of flu after another. When I am sick, he expects me to sexually respond
to him. When he is sick, I have to baby him. |

Taking
Job Pressures Home

| No one has any idea what I have
to put up with on my job. You'd think that I could at least share
my frustrations with my wife. Instead, she tells me to change the
subject because SHE just can't take it anymore. She can't take it?
Hey, I'm the one that has to work there! |
All he ever talks about is how bad it is at
work. I know that things aren't good. I have tried to be understanding
and supportive. Yet, he doesn't take any of my suggestions and all
he does is vent.
I am getting tired of hearing about it. He even
gets angry now and yells at me. |

Can you believe it?
We got into this big argument and she reminded me of something
I supposedly did wrong several years ago. Not only that, but she
quoted me and then reminded me of all of the details surrounding the situation.
After describing it all to me, she tells me that I never
asked for her forgiveness. For the life of me, I don't remember it
the way she claims it happened and, besides, I tend to forgive and forget.
Why can't she be the same way? |
I can't believe him!
The other night we were arguing and I simply reminded
him that he had said and done the same thing six years ago when we were
living in our downtown apartment.
I even told him exactly what he said.
Of course, true to form, he didn't bother to ask me to
forgive him then and he certainly didn't ask me to forgive him the other
night. He is so proud and I just wish he could say "I'm sorry" once
in awhile.
Why are men so forgetful? |

The mission of this not-for-profit website is to promote clear insights
and toleration regarding the many variations of primary relationships that
exist in our world. We ask for neither acceptance or approval but
hope that each visitor who reviews the pages of this site will leave them
with a better understanding of the numerous cultural, historical, preferential,
religious, sexual, and sociological approaches to coupling that have always
existed and will continue to exist as long as there are at least two human
beings living on this planet. If the effort put into creating and
maintaining this site results in others coming to the realization that
the basic human need to love and be loved takes on many forms which are
accepted by those who practice them, whether right or wrong as determined
by the personal belief system of others, then it will have served it's
purpose well. |
