I Was Losing My Marriage

Margaret Hardisty — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:19:31 +0000

Ethan, a professional man, was angry and calling his wife all sorts of names when he came to us. “She’s having an affair with a guy she met at a roller skating rink. I just found out.” Then he burst into tears. “What can I do? I love her. I want to save my marriage.” He swallowed hard. “I don’t understand. I’ve always been a good husband.”

But he hadn’t been a good husband – not really. At least, not in her opinion. When I had the chance to talk with her she told me, “I put up with him as long as I could. I needed someone who would love me the way I needed.” Although they blamed each other, both were at fault; but in her disillusionment she started looking elsewhere outside her marriage and “fell in love” with the first guy who gave her attention. She began a love affair with him. That didn’t last, so she was off looking for another guy. Meanwhile their children floundered.

It is interesting that people find excuses aplenty for having an affair. Fortunately, physical adultery still shocks people – and especially if the faithless are famous, like Tiger Woods, or Jesse James, the husband of Sandra Bullock. At this time, it doesn’t look like either one is going to be able to save his marriage. Having sex outside your committed relationship can destroy your family, friends and spouse. Having an affair emotionally or mentally can be adultery as well. People are often caught when they are having virtual sex because the proof is in emails and web browsers. Emotional disloyalty, by choosing someone other than your spouse as your closest confidant and friend, when there are romantic undertones, chips away at married closeness and can escalate into physical betrayal.

Having an affair emotionally or mentally can be adultery as well. A person can have sex mentally with someone else and no one is the wiser unless the porn or email correspondence that reveals their indulgence is discovered. Emotional disloyalty, by choosing someone other than your spouse as your closest confidant and friend, when there are romantic undertones, chips away at married closeness and can escalate into physical betrayal.

Once trust has been destroyed, most of those marriages fail. It is at that point in time that the one who cheated sometimes realizes just how much he/she has sacrificed, and there is a desire to make things better. Can it be done? Absolutely. Will it be easy? You already know the answer to that. But with the right information, it is a lot easier than most think.

What they want is a better, stronger, happier marriage. They just don’t know how to get it. The good news is that things can improve. Time after time, we have seen couples who have experienced adultery go through the rebuilding process, follow the steps that they need to follow, and find that they didn’t just save their marriages, they made them much better than before.

It is important to be clear. We are not advocating adultery in any way shape or form. It causes incredible pain and suffering to everyone involved and makes the process of crafting a better marriage much harder.

Your Healthy Body = A Healthy Marriage

Dr. Vance Hardisty — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 07:14:37 +0000

Mary had grown up slim. However, her figure tended to move outward a bit when it came to her thighs. Still, she was very attractive and looked good in her clothes. After she’d had three children, though, her body began to move outward all over. She liked the fact that it gave her bigger breasts, but the rest was depressing to her. Actually, she was feeling trapped. Her husband worked 50 hours a week and could not be there for his family.

Her unhappiness began to chip away at their relationship. He never talked about her weight but inside she felt disgusting and ugly and took her frustrations out on him. He fought back and when other things began to pound at them, such as huge bills and a job loss, she decided the only way out of the whole mess was to get divorced. She no longer wanted to save the marriage.

Despite her foolish decision, she realized that she couldn’t go it alone . She hadn’t finished her education and at best she could get a low paying job. She was concerned about the welfare of her kids. She’d have to find another man, that was all, and to do so, she needed to lose weight.

Her decisions devastated her husband who didn’t spot the signs soon enough, and once he did, he refused to change anything he was doing to save his marriage. He waited for her to make changes and did not want to make any himself.

She changed, all right, but not in the way that would save their marriage. Still, part of what she should have done several years before, she did now. She started regulating her diet – stringently – and she lost weight. A lot of it. She also found another man and had an affair. The man was a dog, but because she was running from her hurt – and trying to run from herself as well as her husband – she couldn’t see that. The “dog” went his way, in time, and she scouted for another guy, found him – another dog – and in time, he went his way. Meanwhile she filed for divorce, and continued to do what she could to make her figure better. V:3

The question is: Why couldn’t she realize that her overeating and not taking care of her body was part of the whole picture of unhappiness that she was experiencing and that it eventually would result in the loss of her marriage? Why couldn’t her ex-husband see that, as well, and do something about it before it was too late? The weight was a distraction because it was not the root of the problem. V:3

If overweight is a monster gnawing at you, determine to do something about it now so you don’t lose your marriage Yes, it’s a symptom, but getting rid of a symptom can help with getting to the root of the real problems. Problems can cause emotional stress and physical illness and it all can tie in with being overweight. The body is a marvelous machine. Every part of your body is connected to every other part in some way.

Keep in mind, when the ball comes swishing toward your bat, you’re the only one who can be there swinging. Either you practice until you hit it or you drop your bat and trot back to the dugout. There is no one but you who can work through it. No one can do it for you.

We show you how, not only to save your marriage, but how to make it better and, frankly, exciting. Get started on our materials and books today so your home will be a happy, peaceful one, not one filled with strife and fat bodies.

Are You Going Through A Difficult Divorce?

Mark Cunningham — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 07:44:58 +0000

Whether you have received notification of your spouse’s desire for a divorce via her attorney, you should seriously consider arranging a divorce lawyer of your own. A divorce lawyer may have many functions but at the top of the list is the need for someone impartial to represent you and make sure you get a fair settlement. Your divorce lawyer is also there to be your level headed guide as many divorces can end acrimoniously and he will be there to ensure all your questions and worries about the proceedings are answered.

Despite feelings which may be to the opposite, always expect the divorce situation to get unfriendly when it comes to dividing the property and other assets. Naturally you have the option to represent yourself in your own divorce case but this is not a good recommendation and is not in your best interests especially when there are assets or children involved in the divorce, you will definitely want a divorce attorney to represent you.

The divorce laws vary widely from state to state, so don’t always listen to a friend you have in another state as the advice you get may not apply in your state. When alimony is required then the services of a divorce attorney will definitely be required as you cannot really represent yourself in this matter.

To most people the word alimony brings fear into the proceedings as it is support for the spouse and different for child support that is arranged separately as it is an amount calculated on the earning ability and standard of living both partners have as part of their marriage. While most instances of alimony are for set periods of time, this is not always the case and some people are faced with the knowledge that they may never finish paying it.

Although this can be an awkward situation if either partner experiences changes in their financial lives then it possible for the alimony situation to be looked at again. The situation with alimony is not open ended as far as claiming for it is concerned so when a spouse decides they do not require alimony but at a later time change their minds, it will not be granted.

Just about everything in a divorce case is vulnerable and this includes pensions or any retirement investments made so a divorce lawyer can help to protect these as much as possible. Any person with pension or retirement savings will have these divided with their spouse.

The courts do try to be fair with their division of retirement plans and pensions but having a divorce lawyer represent you will help ensure this is the case. Your divorce lawyers fees could easily be paid out of the money you are saved in this one area alone.

A divorce record and other information about an individual can also be found through searching his or her marriage record that’s why aside from the fact that these two records are two of the most-searched for records, they also go hand-in-hand. As a matter of fact, the other term that is used to refer to divorce record is Records of Marriage Dissolution. Using such term is also helpful when you’re searching for a divorce record of someone.

Just like searching for any other records, people have a lot of reasons in searching for the State of California Divorce Records. The most common of these reasons is to check on someone’s previous marriage especially if the person who wants to remarry is a divorcee. Other reasons are to perform a background check on someone, to search for biological relationship, and for one’s research on genealogy. Even if they are labeled as public records, there are certain limitations to be followed when it comes to obtaining information from them.

Searching for divorce records in California can be performed in various ways through different sources. First of all, there’s the government who offers free-of-charge service for this matter. However, it has been said that searching through them is a test of patience in the sense that you’ll have to wait for some time to be able to obtain the needed information and you also have to dig through a lot of records before being able to see what you’re looking for. The second way is through the help of those commercial record providers that are found online.

How to Win Back Your Ex after a Split

Mikey Van Deen — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 07:17:21 +0000

Getting back with an ex after a split can be a smooth process if you know what you are doing. If you don’t know and are just blindly following your emotions right now, then I beg you to stop and take a deep breath and try to stay calm.

If you’re really serious with regards to how to win back your ex, then rather than follow your emotions, you should consider following the tips provided below.

1. Never panic. This is the worst mistake you can make and you’d be surprised at just how many people do it. In fact, some people panic so much after a split that they end up acting like a complete idiot. For example, they end up trying to phone their ex at all times of the day and night, and when that fails, they revert to text messaging instead.

So many people become almost obsessed with smothering their ex with attention, and in most cases, this sort of behavior does nothing apart from drive the one you’re trying to win back, even further away.

So, what should you do instead? Generally speaking you need to stay calm and gather your thoughts before you try to work anything out.

2. Next pick up the pieces of your life. This involves putting you and your feelings first. You have to give yourself a makeover, get involved in a bit of retail therapy and get out on the town. You have to at least give the impression to your ex that your are handling things well without them and are moving on in your life.

Additionally, you’d be surprised at just how advantageous it can be to start dating again when you’re trying to learn how to win back your ex. This is because not only will you be boosting your own self confidence, but it will probably also make your ex start thinking about whether or not it was a good idea to split up in the first place.

3. Once you reach this stage then you seriously need to start thinking of ways to get back into your ex’s life. Let’s just say that if your ex hasn’t contacted you by the time a month has passed, then you need to take it on yourself to contact them. However, you need to be careful here, because you don’t want to find yourself begging for forgiveness and pleading to get back together again.

Remember, this is all part of a plan, and as such, you need to make sure that you’re thoroughly prepared for a number of different scenarios. After all, you cannot be sure exactly how your ex will respond, and you certainly don’t want to find yourself at a loss for words when the moment arrives.

4. Once you’ve broken the ice by making that first contact, you’ll then need to work on a plan for igniting the flame of romance once more. Once the wheels start turning, don’t allow yourself to ponder on the things which happened in the past, but instead, look at it in the same way as you did when the two of you first started out together. Above all, when it comes to how to win back your ex, romance in itself is probably the most powerful tool around.

Want to know how to win an ex back? Look no further. Make a plan and stick to it. It is all you need to do. If you are still unsure then I will teach you how to win back your ex.

Are Divorce Settlements Fair?

admin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:26:06 +0000

by Moses Wright

A divorce settlement includes detailed information on the division of assets and debt as part of the divorce. Custody agreements that determine the primary custody and visitation arrangements may be part of a divorce settlement.

A divorcing spouse who is frustrated with the process of the divorce may hastily agreed to a divorce settlement just to be finished with the divorce. Since many aspects of a divorce settlement can be unfair, signing papers without considering the ramifications of the divorce settlement can be detrimental.

A divorcing spouse should carefully consider each component of the divorce settlement with a lawyer. Before signing the papers, the divorcing spouses should understand how every aspect of the agreement will affect them.

Accumulated debt can be difficult to divide. Often, one spouse may blame and other spouse for the procurement of a loan and feel that that spouse is responsible for repayment.

Even if one spouse is willing to assume the responsibility for a loan, a bank will not remove the other spouse’s name from the loan unless the loan is refinanced. If both spouses names remain on the loan and one spouse is responsible for payment, if that spouse defaults on the loan the credit of both spouses affected.

Retirement accounts and other investments can have financial implications that a spouse may not be aware of. Therefore, if a divorce settlement includes a division of investments, and may be wise for the spouse to consult an accountant or other financial expert.

Many financial implications of divorce settlements may not be readily apparent. A divorcing spouse may assume that they receive the benefit of all the alimony that is paid to them. However, alimony is taxable which means the spouse who receives it must pay taxes when they file their income tax return.

Many times, a divorce settlement as seems like an equal division of the couple’s assets may actually be unfair. In some divorce settlements, one spouse may get the home and perhaps other assets while the other spouse may get the cash savings of the couple.

While the home may be more valuable than the savings of the couple, if the spouse who receives the house needs money they cannot easily or quickly access money from value of the home. A person can bargain for equity with a home-equity loan, but the person has to pay closing costs and bank fees to do so. It also takes time for the bank or lender to do a inspection of the home to determine its value.

According to the divorce statistics, it seems that divorce is happening more often and couples should also look into children and divorce before they make their final decisions.
