I can almost never finish a sentence.  Doesn't matter what I'm saying, or when, or where, I get cut off.  If I manage to string 2 or 3 short sentences together he is already off in dreamland and either cuts me off to go to a topic he likes or else he just isn't listening.  As a result of all this he doesn't hear the sometimes-critical information that I provide.

I've tried just not saying anything when he does this, just clamming up and thinking he will ask me to repeat what I said....but he doesn't.  He doesn't even notice!!

I have also gotten testy, weepy and upset and at times even-tempered and sincere in asking him to please let me finish my sentences but I don't get very far because...you guessed it....he doesn't let me finish that request....

Any other ideas?  I know there must be other women/men with this problem from their spouses/significant others.

Recently, my teenage son got up from the computer and left his IM window open.  On it, he has referred to my husband, his father as "Hitler."  I chose to keep this to myself.

However, I wonder if you telling your dh that your child considers him a yeller, if that would change something.

Also, if he is in constant pain, that probably has a TON to do with dh's attitude.

job to be able to stay at home and work. I still wanted to be there for them and for my husband. I take great pride in my work and do a great job. Just because I chose a job that provided the "benefits" that I wanted does not make me unprofessional. A lot of people chose their professions based on the benefits that profession offers, but it doesn't make them a bit less professional. So, TM, I'm with you on this one. I chose this job to be able to stay at home and I'm not the least bit ashamed to tell anybody that's my reason.

I've always felt that machine quilting was cheating...I like nana's idea of the yarn ties...that was the first one my grandma taught me how to do.  Mommy also quilted and we'd hit the quilt shows where you have to wear white gloves before touching any quilt. 

Recently went to the Museum of the American Quilter's Society in Paducah, KY (couldn't touch....it took all my willpower, believe you me).....The unique artistry and craftsmanship of each piece was breathtaking....a lot of applique and embroidery was employed as well...painting with thread and material...whoa!  My friend and I split up and studied those quilts for about 1-1/2 hours and then we asked each other "Which one would you choose to take home?"    Cat

everyone with different opinions is allowed to post here and poster said they were making a contribution in the name of pro-peace....give that poster a break please....

She is 54 after all.............not a baby, not a young adult/teen who really needs guidance.

She knows this is DEAD wrong but appears to be *seeking* something from all of us, as she said she was posting *in a safe place*............meaning here on the forum.

We know right from wrong from FIVE YEARS OLD on..........she knows what she is doing is most wrong/incorrect. 

I just think she is craving attention, personally......... 

You know the spots you see in pictures sometimes?  You think it's sunlight or whatever...  Well we took a family pic (SIL took the pic) and there was a huge spot.  My son told me he learned about Spirit Orbs at school.  Well, I think the Orb was my mother.  I'm sorry, but it just seemed weird to me that this would appear in this manner.  We lost my Mom about 2 years ago.  The kids were very attached to her.  She's here in spirit; my son said I think that Orb is MeMe (that's what they called her). 

Also, my son (he's 14) had a dream right after her death that she saw my Mom (looked like me) and my Dad (looked like my brother) dancing.  He said they looked young and MeMe told him "don't worry, I'm in good hands."  My Dad died about 13 years ago (my son was only 5 months old).  So, you see, kids deal and see things different. 

Your son probably does see images or what he perceives as ghosts and it frightens him because he is so young. 

The sleeping arrangements in your household is your business.  Whatever works.  I used to sleep with my Mom when my Dad worked nights, and I was probably in junior high at the time.  My Dad worked shift work. 

My brother went through this.  He had to take half of his wife's credit card debt.  But what you can do is contact the credit card company, after the divorce is final, and ask how much they are willing to settle the account for.  He settled a 14,000 credit care bill for 9,000, if he paid it within 10 days of making the agreement with them.  His wife and her attorney were pretty mad, but there was nothing they could do.  She kept wanting him to just give her the money and let her pay the bill, she probably already knew what they were going to settle for and thought she could pocket the 5000.00.  The credit card company showed the account as paid in full satisfactorily.  Assets will be split including any pensions, 401K, etc., as well as cars, boats, property, any of that stuff.  You can trade off on things, for instance not touch his 401K if you get _____?? and so on. 

As for the kids, there will be a set visitation schedule which you both work out and the court approves of.  If he doesn't follow it or if he doesn't return the kids, than he is in contempt of court.  If there are problems during the divorce, the court will set up a schedule for visitations during that period if needed.

One more tip I learned.  You want the best attorney you can get.  If you don't know any, ask a cop or a few if you can.  LOL, they know who the good ones are and who they would call if they needed one.  They're in court and around the courthouse and know how things happen.  Ask more than one person and get some opinions before you retain a lawyer.  It sounds like you already know he's not going to be nice about this.  Don't be overly nice about it either or he'll try to take advantage.

If you are or are not the poster I responded to - doesn't matter one lick.  The poster said *will not shop in any store that sells gay or lesbian items*

Poster did not clarify that they *WOULD shop in a store that sells heterosexual items also being sold to gays* -

You seem to have an interpretation and possibly reading problem which, if you were the poster I was responding to, accounts for the little pea-sized, shut-down to nearly closed-down brain.........

To me it is unbelievable that homophobes still exist in the 21st Century amongst the common folk? 

All this spewing about Christmas and Christian way of life and giving and generosity and all this supposed good feelings, yet all I see here is hypocrisy and condemnation for anyone who is not of your faith and for anyone who doesn't interpret any bible the way that some of you do.

God says we are to love each other as we love ourselves - but looking at some of these posts I see SOME really lack loving themselves and become accusers and finger-pointers - and JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED.....

To all who condemn others who do not follow your ways, religion, closed mindedness..... Who died and left you boss of anything?

And lest not forget that Christianity and Catholicism stems from Judeo-Christian teachings.....which when I get involved teaches all about tolerance. 

Now, can we all just try to be pleasant and get along and agree that we can all disagree and still be civil to one another or is that task far too great?
