    OK, my mom was/is kinda status-conscious, wishing I had a more professional partner, but I really believe she did her best. And she did well, marrying Daddy, cause he’s the sweetest guy you could ask for. He still gives her flowers on Valentine’s Day! And he opens the passenger car door for her. What a gentleman! Good old-fashioned chivalry is what I call it! He didn’t give us a whole lot of attention as kids, but heck he did his best too in my book. Never drank, never beat us, never scolded us, never corrected us really. Mom did all the discipline stuff and I respect her for that. She gave us the odd hiding but it wasn’t a huge deal. She wanted/wants the best for me and that’s all you can ask for really. I believe she’d be there for me, if there was a crisis, just doin what parents do. Lovin!

    Yes Inky I couldn’t agree more. Thank God we got people like you on here. People with real maturity, who don’t have to have the last word.

    Am I the only one who doesn’t feel safe on this forum?

    Whew! what a thread! I just finished and I have to say I totally agree with Inky. Moongal and Pomplemous, come back! We need you! And do we really need that awfully mean guard dog ? I don’t think so. (oh no, he’ll probably attack me now, yikes!)

    I have to say that youtube clip is kinda weird.
    You really think that’s funny?

    If you want my honest opinion, I think Buddhism is a whole lot of claptrap. It should’ve stayed in Asia where it belonged. Western countries like the USA are Christian and that’s how they should stay. Don’t mean to offend anybody. Just stating my case.

    I can’t thank each and everyone of you for your ongoing support, through this difficult time. I’ve decided!
    Despite all his faults, I’m going to stay ! He needs me and I just have to overlook the negatives. That’s all!
    Life wasn’t meant to be perfect. I know that now.
    Thanks again.

    Thanks so much for your replies people. It really has given me food for thought.
    This may seem kinda petty but there are minor grievances that have ,well, built up over the years.
    These include:
    -him not putting the toothpaste cap back on
    -eating like a ravenous animal, never slowly
    -when he makes our bed, he never does hospital corners
    -he only vacuums the house once a fortnight
    -he often forgets to put the toilet seat back down
    -he doesn’t wash his hands before putting clothes on the line
    -he doesn’t clean out the birdcage very often
    -he sometimes burps after drinking a can of coke
    -he used to call me “honey” but never does anymore

    Re my mother
    I think she prides herself on doing quite well by marrying a schoolteacher(my father). Therefore had expectations and hopes that I would marry someone of similar or higher status.
    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not so status conscious as her, but well, part of me fantasises about living a more luxurious life. Oh god, that sounds so shallow, I know.
    thanks again everyone
