Fitness training at Dedman Center has been the answer to my prayers. My best friend and I began a weight loss program with Derek Ruiz in January of 2010. My biggest concerns were my age (53) and a recent shoulder operation. Derek started us out slowly and safely, taking into consideration several old injuries and the recent surgery. He has been quite motivating, encouraging, punctual, flexible on times, and not at all intimidating. After gaining strength he then ratcheted up the program. We are still continuing to increase the intensity of the workouts. My favorite thing about Derek is that he personalizes and varies the workouts so that each one is anything but boring. I have lost 48 pounds so far with 30 more to go. I have become so much stronger and happier.
I highly recommend Derek Ruiz as a fitness trainer. He has kept things on track for weight loss and strengthening.
I have been working out with Derek Ruiz 3 times a week for 1 hour since January 2010. I am 54 and my starting weight was 260lbs (yikes!). I had knee surgery in December and was concerned about further injury when starting a workout program. Derek started me out slowly with a focus on strengthening my knees, and has been very effective in building up my strength and endurance. He is wonderful to work with! He has encouraged me, inspired me and pushed me just hard enough to build my confidence and get great results. I have lost 41 lbs. I am in the best shape I have ever been in my life and I feel great! He is the best and I highly recommend him as a trainer.

Scott Sicko leaves football after not being drafted. "But as the final day of the NFL Draft progressed Saturday, and Sicko continued not to see his name pop up on ESPN, that easy answer to The Question grew hazier, then clearer. And when the NFL finally called – and called and called and called – late in the afternoon, Scott Sicko's response shocked his agents, the teams but in the end not himself. Thanks, but no thanks." Quotes from him indicate that the move is not petulance, but rather a realistic appraisal of the life and length of career the average undrafted free agent experiences. "Not getting drafted, he decided, provided a new clarity, a different answer to the question of whether he wanted to get started on his life after football. "If I were to be drafted I would have had more confidence of a much longer career in the NFL," Sicko said. "I have to look at my life and decide what will make me the happiest. And the thing that will make me the happiest now and in the long run is to pursue my education."
Quote: "Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has decided not to attend the NFL draft in New York City and instead will watch it at his home in Jacksonville, Fla., a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter"...

Together, Brad Patton, Tommy Brandt and Daniel Montes make up the hottest trio of sex-charged studs to come together. Right off the bat, Bradââ¬â¢s horse dick is tamed by Tommyââ¬â¢s fellating expertise and when the playful imp substitutes his asscrack as a new vessel for Brad to drive his cock into, he squeals and sighs with delight. And Daniel is right in there too, egging the action on and making his own impressive contribution to this spoogefest. All three take each other on, get their fill and leave us begging for more.

Town crews were out early this week painting the speed bumps on Queen Street school-bus yellow, to raise the visibility of the raised pavement at five spots along the length of the popular thru-road between the town's commercial center and Wasserman Way. The street is distinctly less popular these days. The "traffic calming devices" in the road are not having a calming effect on the frustration levels of drivers, who must alternately accelerate and brake along the short unimpeded interstices as they prepare to clear one bump after another.
To the Editor:
Over the past few weeks I have read with interest several letters concerning the speed tables on Queen Street. About nine years ago, shortly after buying properties on Queen Street, I attended my first meeting to discuss traffic issues on Queen Street. I left that meeting thinking that action would be taken.
To the Editor:
The Police Commission, who approved five speed bumps on Queen Street, and Pat Llodra, who authorized their installation, have done a huge disservice to Newtown. It has negatively changed the character of the Borough and Newtown forever. The number of bumps is a clear indication that the primary objective was to divert auto, truck and bus traffic off Queen Street, not speed.
To the Editor:
What started as a legitimate effort to calm traffic on Queen Street has now turned into a fiasco. First two speed bumps, then three, and now five are planned. Ten-mile-an-hour speed signs were posted. Now we learn that the Police Commission wants to make sure no driver can go more than 25 MPH in between the speed bumps. Do any other roads in Newtown have that objective?
In anticipation of hiring additional police officers next fiscal year, police officials are starting to plan for the police hiring process, which is a sequence of events required to bring new officers onto the police staff, Police Chief Michael Kehoe told Police Commission members this week.
At an April 2 session, Chief Kehoe said that depending upon how the town's budgeting process for the 2013-14 fiscal year transpires, the police department may hire three or four additional officers.
A Queen Street resident is urging Police Commission members to have all five of the large speed bumps planned for Queen Street installed there to hold down motorists' travel speeds as a pedestrian safety measure.
Late last year, the town installed three large speed bumps, known as "speed tables" on the southern section of Queen Street as a speed control measure.
In its annual review of Police Chief Michael Kehoe's job performance, the five-member Police Commission has given the chief generally high marks for his work during 2012.
Police Commission members endorsed the chief's performance review for calendar 2012 in early December, before the December 14 shooting incident occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Police Commission members have approved a request from Police Chief Michael Kehoe to start a second job as an instructor for Post University's online education program in the field of criminal justice.
Commission members approved the chief's request for secondary employment at a March 5 session.
Chief Kehoe told Police Commission members that the Waterbury-based university's online program in criminal justice would provide him with flexibility in terms of his role as an instructor.
It has been a high-profile week for the Newtown Police Department. On Tuesday, Police Chief Michael Kehoe fielded multiple interview requests from news media interested in NPD's arrest of a Bridgewater man for the murder of his wife 28 years ago. The arrest in connection with the decades-old cold case was a testament to the dogged investigations of the local department, the Western District State Police, and state's attorney's office.

Tip Tester: Can You Peel Apples in Seconds with a Cordless Drill?
Peeling apples isn't exactly difficult, but if you have a ton to peel (and you don't have a tabletop apple peeler), it can be time consuming. When we stumbled on this method from Instructables user bricobart, we had to give it a try. Good news, it works! Kind of.

I bought one of these 2 months ago at costco for $80 I believe and I think it is a Staub - which although is not as popular as Le Creuset, is almost on par in performance/durability. If you can handle the weight of this thing (very heavy) and the 8 qt size works, $50 is an absolute steal.
Last edited by LuncheonMeat; 04-23-2013 at 12:38 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost Surprising fresh eats in the city of meat
I found this deal on my own--been waiting for it to go on clearance for a while now and examined it carefully in the store. The enamel is thinner than regular Staub (fewer layers of external enamel, it looks like...), and there appears to be more lax quality control with higher chance of dings, but at this price I had to pick one up. The handles are almost identical if not identical to the Staub Basix line (discontinued by QVC), so I think this is made by Staub. Btw for those who don't know, Staub is better than Le Creuset in many ways and is more popular among European chefs than Le Creuset from what I understand. The self-basting dimples up top, Staub's black enamel can take seasoning unlike Le Creuset, the handles are metal unlike Le Creuset which for the longest time insisted on using rubbery stuff that couldn't take heat past 375F very well, and both are made in France with lifetime warranties. Personally I won't touch Le Creuset these days, their stuff being priced more and lesser quality than Staub. Repped! If you liked it then you shoulda put a rep on it!
I totally agree with you about the chipping. The floor sample at Costco was chipped. |
on Staub vs Le Creuset that's very subjective. i have both and the serve different purposes. yes Staub has the basting dimples which is a benefit depending on what your cooking. for other things you may not want that. Staub's enamel coating has a rougher texture so it does some what season as you use it, but it's not like the seasoning bare cast iron can take. it's not a substitute for a well seasoned $30 bare cast iron pan imo. Le Creuset's enamel is smoother so it's more non stick and easier to clean out of the box. yes Le Creuset's phenolic knob has a heat limit which can be a con but there is a reason for this. the phenolic knob does not heat up like a metal one does. so if you mainly use the pot on the stove top being able to grab it without a oven mitt is great. if you use it in the oven at high temps Le Creuset makes a metal knob. i got mines for $11 on amazon. i read on another site that people also use $3 metal cabinet knobs from the hardware store as replacements. how and what you cook determines what is right for you. Le Creuset may not be right for you but it is in no way lesser quality. |

SanDisk buys MusicGremlin
Today, SanDisk announced the acquisition of MusicGremlin. As one of the pioneers of Wi-Fi-enabled MP3 players, MusicGremlin's expertise may help SanDisk resurrect its Sansa Connect MP3 player model, which was partially obsoleted by the demise of Yahoo's subscription music service earlier this year.
SanDisk's MP3 players are second only to Apple's iPod in terms of sales, and are characterized by their low price and wide file format compatibility. The addition of a Wi-Fi-capable portable music player to SanDisk's current product line would help the company stay competitive against new offerings from Haier, Slacker, and Microsoft. … Read more

A century-spanning novel that makes a stop in World War I, gripping new fiction from Khaled Hosseini, revealing new details about Sylvia Plath and more.
The Silver Star
Twelve-year-old "Bean" Holladay and her older sister, Liz, aren't immediately concerned when their mother abandons them to "make some time and space for myself...to find the magic again"; she's done this before—to chase a man, or her dream of being a singer. But when she doesn't return after two weeks, the girls, who've been subsisting on a diet of chicken potpies, revert to plan B—buying bus tickets from California to their mother's hometown in Virginia—to avoid being taken away by social services. Their intention is to stay with their uncle Tinsley, whom they haven't seen since they were small, and though their arrival on his doorstep takes him by surprise, he welcomes them into the family's long-neglected antebellum mansion, where he lives alone amid old newspapers, faded carpets and peeling wallpaper.
In her latest novel, The Silver Star (Scribner), Jeannette Walls transports us with her powerful storytelling into the close-knit world of these fiercely protective sisters who've come to Byler in 1970, just as racial and economic issues threaten the town's cozy stability. Mouthy Bean easily adjusts to her new surroundings, while Liz becomes increasingly withdrawn. An attack on Liz leads the sisters to team up against a man who will do anything to safeguard his reputation, and finally prompts their mother's return. Through heart-wrenching prose, Walls delves into the way children must sometimes protect themselves against the bad behavior of the adults around them, a theme she first mined in her memoir, The Glass Castle. Using Bean's expertly crafted, naively stubborn voice, Walls contemplates the extraordinary bravery needed to confront real-life demons in a world where the hardest thing to do may be to not run away. — Abbe Wright

The people of Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (as well as possibly Egypt, Jordan and Kuwait) will not be able to see Darren Aronofsky's Biblical epic Noah when it hits theaters later this month. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the strict censor boards in the Middle Eastern countries recently informed Paramount Studios that because the movie contradicts an Islamic law prohibiting any depiction of a Muslim prophet, the film would be banned. The Sunni Muslim school Al-Azhar in Egypt released a statement explaining, "Al-Azhar renews its rejection to the screening of any production that characterizes Allah's prophets and messengers and the companions of the Prophet [Muhammad]. Therefore, Al-Azhar announces the prohibition of the upcoming film about the Allah's messenger Noah—peace be upon him." Noah opens in the U.S. on March 28 ... Discuss

THUMBS UP! GOOD BENEFITS. Two noteworthy fundraisers are this week, and we hope the turnout for each is at least at strong as in previous years.
First, there's the fifth annual benefit dinner, dance and auction for Ride To Pride, with proceeds going to help the program continue its work to help "kids be kids." That starts at 6 p.m. Friday at the Night Owl.
From recent editorials in U.S. newspapers this week:
The Dallas Morning News on Congress — Most members of Congress were probably high achievers in school. But, as a group, they have a serious deadline problem. Congress' inability to get things done — and done on time — is creating grave risks for the country.

The dog lovers at Hounds on the Hudson believe that a pet owner's peace of mind is equally important as the pet's happiness. To put minds at ease, the daycare and boarding facility's webcams enable clients to check up on their canine counterparts online. What they'll see is dogs galloping around the 1,500-square-foot outdoor run, or pups playing poker in the four indoor play spaces. The highly trained staffers keep dogs under 24-hour supervision and reward good behaviors to maintain a comfortable, positive environment. For overnight boarding, furry guests snooze on raised Kuranda beds inside climate-controlled suites. Dogs in need of obedience training can also practice good manners with trainers that have been featured on Animal Planet's Underdog to Wonderdog.
Studies indicate that humans first domesticated wolves as long as 33,000 years ago. Over millenniums, these wild creatures eventually became dogs, the unconditional companions we know and love today. The dog walkers at NYC Pet Nannies work to improve upon this already ancient relationship with modern technology. Using a digital registration system, scanners, and GPS trackers, the staff provide dog owners with live updates about the location of their precious pooches during walks that last anywhere from 15 to 50 minutes. Automated emails, meanwhile, dispatch to owners' inboxes along the way, keeping them in the loop.
Technology isn't the only way they enhance the dog-walking experience, though. Before ever touching a leash, each walker must pass an intensive certification course, become bonded and insured, and beat a greyhound in a foot race.
Hiring someone to pet-sit requires a lot of trust. You're not only giving them access to your home but also the responsibility of caring for a beloved family member. That's why each time a new client calls Sir Gatsby Pets, owner Angel Martinez personally meets with them—both the customer and their furry companion—for a preliminary consultation, where he gets to know the pet's temperament and the owner's schedule. He then assigns a permanent sitter from his staff of insured and background-checked animal aficionados, who can walk, play with, and administer medicines to the pet and who pairs best with the pet's personality. Sitters stand ready to aid their furry clients at any time, whether they're taking pets on morning walks, romping through evening playtime, or acting as the sole human members of Iditarod Halloween costumes.
In 1990, John Ziegler hired a dog walker to take his 8-month-old yellow lab Merembe out on regular walks. The plan was to escort the rambunctious pup to Central Park, where she could enjoy fresh air and social time around other dogs and people. Just to make sure he was getting what he paid for, John followed the dog walker—and discovered that Merembe spent the entire hour cooped up in a tiny apartment while the walker went on errands. The indignation that any dog owner would feel at this discovery is what prompted John to found Biscuits & Bath, an all-encompassing dog-care company that strives for transparency, knowledge, and compassion in all they do.
A bounty of doggy knowledge backs every service at Biscuits & Bath, whether it's grouping dogs by size and temperament at daycare to balance safety and fun, or pairing groomers' image-enhancing brush-outs with checks for ticks, ear infections, and unusual basketball ability. True to the company's roots, each dog walker is bonded, insured, and thoroughly trained to take beloved friends on a daily romp. Dogs are kept safe from big-city hazards by donning two slip collars, a climb-spec harness, and a reinforced nylon leash, allowing the company to boast nearly one million incident-free walks in 2011. On-site veterinarian services give pups a checkup incentive with the center's play-filled environment, and overnight boarding services keep timid dogs at ease with constant supervision and flexibility with special requirements.
As a pioneer of the alternative pet-care movement for more than 20 years, Whiskers offers organic and chemically cleared goods to city-dwelling critters and their conscientious keepers. Begin your pet's lifestyle overhaul with phytonutrient-rich vitamins from Udo's, which contain whole food concentrates for healthy coats, increased energy, and keener squirrel radar ($15.99 for cats, $25.99 for dogs). Or, upgrade treat time with high-protein, low-fat buffalo strips from Rosie's Rewards, which satisfy snack-cravers who lack the opposable thumbs necessary for hitchhiking to Denny's ($13.99). Herbal aids for pet cough ($17.99 for 2 oz.), dirty ears ($9.99 for 0.5 oz.), and upset tummies ($45 for 8 oz.) make up Whiskers' own line of natural remedies. Less-than-lustrous locks get love from Dr. Shawn's organic, all-in-one shampoo, infused with tea tree oils, aloe vera, and coconut ($22.99 for 16 oz.).

A Spring-like winter makes for some interesting combinations. I've been feeling pretty blessed to be able to don a leather jacket in Toronto in January and February, and a good wool circle scarf can beat any remnants of cold that seep through an outfit. As a transitional piece, I decided to make use of this thrifted floral chiffon jacket I got the other day and layer it under the leather jacket to add some colour to it. Basically, to make it look less boring. February weather can be pretty drab.

thanks for the input. There really isn't anymore I can do at this point.
I don't know if it's the time of year right now or that becuase I have these doubts for so long, it's starting to really eat at me to where I'm not funtioning.
Either way I'd wish he'd come out with it, OR I wish there was someway for me to believe him. I feel like i'm starting to really shut down over this.
Are these details that have only been verbally discussed? Maybe by summarizing the gap in writing, the inconsistency will more easily "jump off the page" and it can spark more open conversation about why you can't believe what you're being told?
I've been toying with this idea-like a hybrid timeline if you will. List out what I have issues with write them on a calendar and compare them to my proof (phone records,texts records,etc)and then talk about it with him.
He has never came out with any "truths" till after MOW called me and my sister told me of OW#1 (of which she just found out at the time, she wasn't holding info for that long). It's like when he's cornered then he spills.....
Ok in the beginning I can understand that behavior but 9 months out he should know that me finding out on on my own makes it a zillion times worse than him telling me first.......
Then again this is also the man that won't even bring up the affair or talk about his feelings without me talking/asking first
Anything that opens a line of communication is a good effort, whether that communication leads to happy or sad information.
Primarily, yes. The longer the time since NC was established, the clearer my thinking was. How can you help? Hold him accountable to the things he will need to do to heal. NC must be strictly held. He must go to IC to face the reality of what happened (instead of the fantasy he has developed in his mind during the A). He should read books that will help him see more clearly, such as "After the Affair" and "Not Just Friends". Keep holding his feet to the fire on these things, and he has a good shot at clearing his thinking that fantasizes about OW and sees the relationship for the train wreck it truly was.

Good lord I hope you're right. He says to me he wants to prove he's met the condition for being at home (finish the A and NC), says he'll look at his mobile phone account online with me at any time on request but won't give me the password... I've just had Not Just Friends delivered and will be taking it away with us next week and want him to read it (we're off to hide from the world for a week doing something that's "ours" and we both love that is in a "safe" environment for me because she won't be anywhere near and, I trust, phones will be turned off).... He makes no bones about taking responsibility for what he's done but won't offer full info, you still have to ask the specific question... and whilst he says he's incredibly sorry he's hurt me, he's still clearly too much in love with her to be sorry he did it.... And to cap it all, last night he reached to cuddle me in bed in his sleep and used her language (we're both native English speakers) and called me by her name.... It's only 3 days since he finished the A (at least while we work out whether we have a future) so it's v early days but can there really any way back for him (and hence me)?
[This message edited by Blindbat at 2:40 AM, October 8th (Friday)]
I'm sorry about your cuddling experience. It's something that he has to purge from himself and it will take time. But it doesn't make the experience any less painful.
I am curious why he won't give you his mobile password. Honestly, there is zero excuse for any WS not to share passwords to all communication accounts (email, IM, mobile, etc.) with their BS. It may help to remind him that the greatest damage caused from affairs is not the act itself but the erosion of trust from the lies that go with an A.
If he cannot turn over all passwords - including his mobile - to you, then he is not doing everything to try to heal your M.
D-Day for us was 3 months ago. My FWH chose to stay and I decided I was willing to work on it. I have been putting everything I have in to it and am running on empty. FWH still has some strong feelings for MOW. I know he loves me but he seems to be stuck in an emotional rut and his feelings for her are getting in the way of our healing. They work together but are having no non-work related contact. I think even seeing her though keeps those feelings around longer. My FWH is very caring and compassionate toward me and is doing everything I ask of him.
My question are for those of you WSs that were involved in EAs:
1. How long did it take for you to wake up emotionally (come out of the fog)?
2. Did your spouse do a 180 to wake you up (I feel like FWH is trying so I'm sure this is the way I want to go)?
3. Once you came out of the "fog" did your feelings of being "in love" with your spouse come back?
4. What are some things he can do (and I can do to help him) to move past his feelings for OW?
Here's my answers for you. I'd invite other FWS's to respond as well:
Approximately five months from D-Day.
My spouse didn't necessarily have the need to do a 180, but it was because of our history together. She has never been one to make idle threats. When she states a consequence, she follows through on it. So on D-Day when she told me that I was to call either a counselor or an attorney, I knew I had to do that.
Sort of. I say it that way because in hindsight my love for my BW never truly left. If it did, that small voice inside telling me on D-Day to stay and fight for the M would not have convinced me to make the right choices. With that said, yes the feelings of love intensified post-fog, and continue to grow each and every day.
I know this might not be an easy thing to hear, but he really needs to think about changing his job. Even if all conversation is held to just work issues, OW's physical presence is a daily reminder of the A and how he felt during it. It took me five months to defog with true NC in place. I can't imagine how I would have done it if I had to see her every day.
Aside from that, making sure IC is followed up on and processing it all, reading key books like "After the Affair" and "Not Just Friends", and simply being more open with his communications with you will all help.
[This message edited by Listeningclosely at 10:17 AM, October 8th (Friday)]
We have discussed a job change and it is a definite possibility. He actually thinks OW is in the process of finding a new job and we are in wait mode. I think she is terrified because she is married and her BS doesn't know (I know there are many who think I should have told him).
I know my husband loves me and we have a very long history together! I would be shocked if we can't figure this out but I am just tired!
BTW - I loved your response to #3. I always believed that he stayed because of the kids (even though he denies it) but your answer gives me something to think about
Yes, I suspected it would be sth like that. I realise it's early days, so I think the distraction next week should help. I just want to get him away from her long enough for the otherwise very good head on his shoulders to have the slightest chance against his other head... (this is evidently an Internet affair that intentionally became a PA the very first time they met and then got "complicated" by an "emotional connection we didn't expect to find")
I am curious why he won't give you his mobile password. Honestly, there is zero excuse for any WS not to share passwords to all communication accounts (email, IM, mobile, etc.) with their BS.

No, he clearly isn't doing everything possible yet. I think he's hedging his bets. As I said, he takes full responsibility for his decisions, albeit still coming out with some justifications (that's what they are but he doesn't actually realise it) - but he makes no bones about the fact it was his choice, I didn't deserve what's happened to me and I have nothing to be sorry for. Strangely 180 and going away on my own had the opposite effect on him (did me good) and insofar as I can second-guess anything, I think he thinks he's damaged the M so much that I can't possibly love him and therefore he's not willing to give up his privacy for something he thinks will fail anyway. Clearly he's protecting himself again, he's not willing to put it all on the line for me and take the risk of commitment. And yet he has finished the affair, it would seem, and is prepared to commit to seeing what we both want. But at least we'll have the space and time to ourselves next week with no outside influences and phones near-as-dammit off - and a week of safety for me - to see whether there's anything left and whether either of us can bear to be together in the new reality. Complete opposite views, I think - I'm working on the basis of not writing anything off until we've tried, he seems to be working on the basis of why put any effort into sth you've already killed stone dead - but he *has* finished the affair albeit clearly very much against his inclinations. I truly think he believes he loves two women equally. Can't say I'm overly optimistic about the outcome - I'm just getting so tired
[This message edited by Blindbat at 11:32 AM, October 8th (Friday)]
About six months.
No, he just told me he would leave and take the kids. He meant it.
Well, I never stopped loving him... The affair was never about love - it was seduction. If I had been single, or if I had divorced, I would only have been with the xOM maybe a couple of months, at most. That was my M.O. when I was single.
You cannot do anything to help him - you are too closely involved. Therapy helped me a lot. One of the exercises was to think it through all the way to the end. Let's say your H does get together with the OW - you bow out of the picture gracefully (in this example). They move in together, they start to experience life together. How would he feel about that?
We are all adults here - we all understand there's fantasy and real life. We all know that whomever we live with, there will be those little things (dirty counter, socks, lawn, whatever). But, who do we want to experience those things with?
And then there's the life he left behind (you). How does that affect him?
Think everything through to the end.
That is just one exercise. These kinds of exercises are too hurtful for you. What you can do is state your position - if he doesn't get out of the fog in 6 months, you are walking. (But don't say it if you don't mean it.)
He's definitely foggy. That much is clear.
To an extent I think he's hedging his bets.
Among the greatest gifts (in hindsight) my BW gave me was her approach to things in the immediate aftermath of D-Day. I had proposed a possible trial S, and she refused. Her approach was clear - I was either all in or all out of the R effort. There was no middle ground.
If I was in, I would do all that was required to heal. I would invest my full self in our relationship and abandon all other paths. In return, she would not commit to the result, but she would commit to investing all of herself in the R effort until it ran it's course.
That action alone had the result of preventing a tentative, partial and guarded approach by me in R. It was a huge risk, but the risk was actually equal for both of us. Thankfully in our case, it paid off.
I would invest my full self in our relationship and abandon all other paths. In return, she would not commit to the result, but she would commit to investing all of herself in the R effort until it ran it's course.
This he has already written to me (a hand-written letter in this day and age) and I hope that is the stage we are beginning to reach but he's still hurting massively and hasn't de-fogged enough to "get it". OTOH the whole bally lot could just be stringing me along. Is it likely he'd finish the affair and put himself through that pain by choice if he weren't serious about the process? Do I just need patience (er, not exactly one of my strong points)?
given time and the right efforts, there's a chance he'll come around.
How did your BS treat/act towards you during your foggy time (while you were trying to get over OP). Were they affectionate/intimate? I am struggling with this!
We had really good conversations around "After the Affair". As we each read chapters, we would discuss a chapter at a time together. She stated her thoughts and allowed me to state mine. She never told me my thoughts were ridiculous or out of line. Just listened and shared her own thoughts as well. It was pretty amazing actually. We had some of the most calm conversations when we used the book topics as places to start talking.
Looking back, I'd say nearly two years. I continued to work w/FOM for the 18 months after the A ended, so that didn't help at all. When I finally left the workplace and was able to have NC, that helped. But even that was a slow process. I was lucky enough to have a long commute in the mornings where I could think about things and process them. The job change was key I think.
I think he did in some ways. He pretty much never tried to control me because he knows that doesn't work with me. He just told me I needed to figure out what I wanted. No checking, no snooping, none of that. Even in non A related matters this is how he is, he's supportive but not forceful about things. He makes me step up and be an adult about my own life and decisions. He is smart enough to know that by doing that it eliminates the option of me pointing fingers later & saying, "because of you."
Once I started working on myself and figuring out my own life, I was able to sort things out a little better. I think that I had gotten to the point pre-A that I was more fearful of loving my H because I wasn't sure that I could love him and be married and have the life I wanted to live too. I had to answer a lot of identity, value, and goal related questions for myself before I could take the risk of feeling love again. I think I always loved him.
Just be there and listen when he needs to talk. Some of what he has to say will hurt to hear but he is being honest with you if he risks sharing those feelings. The grief of the FWS is real--now what the grief is about is what is up for debate. I know that the hardest thing for my FBH to understand is that the A was not about him. He didn't believe it at first, but as time went on he told me that he realized that. I knew that the A wasn't about FOM either the day he started discussing marriage and I got sick to my stomach and was like "no way." If I divorced my H I knew that neither one of them would be in my life, I wanted to be free and do what I wanted to do. That was really an important moment-because I had to look at what I would be free to do. I didn't realize that I was free all along and just had to give myself internal permission and act on what I wanted. There is no brick that my FBH could have thrown at my head at that time that could have made me come to that realization--it had to come from inside of me.
This Jan. will be 4 yrs since d-day.
The other day when I asked about MC again... he told me I was f....in crazy... That I was destroying the marriage. That I was stuck. That I enjoyed being miserable..etc. etc.
am I crazy? would you react this way also? I do not ask him questions every day.. we have gone for weeks and months without me triggering. We have gone on trips together,we do things together. But, I have this lingering sadness and uncertainty about R and that's what I think I want to verify.
I'm afraid that after all of this time and hard work that we may be at an impasse.. I told him yesterday that this is what irreconcilable differences look like.
I'm sorry, I wish I could give you the magic answer.
Perhaps explaining that if you get the answers, maybe in a written format if he is not wanting face-face conversations, that would help you process the details and move forward?
Good luck to you. I'm sorry you are going through this. HP

The internship is an organized health service training program that provides supervised experiences in all Counseling Center services and functions. The program is accredited by the American Psychological Association. It was re-accredited in 2009 for 7 years under the leadership of Dr. Denise Lucero-Miller. Verification of the program's accreditation status can be obtained through the APA Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation at 750 First Street, NE Washington, D.C. 20002; (202) 336-5979. The TWU Counseling Center places a strong emphasis on training activities and values. Internship experiences are well integrated into the agency as a whole.
Unique Strengths
The TWU Counseling Center offers unique training opportunities in the following areas:
- The clients of the Counseling Center are drawn from a population of students at TWU that in general are older than traditional age and highly committed to both their academic and personal growth. At the same time, most of these students have experienced significant life trauma and stressors and are at varying points in the process of recovery and healing. Interns, therefore, have numerous opportunities to work with clients who are able to function well while they work on fairly serious therapy issues within a brief therapy model.
- Interns are encouraged and expected to participate actively in organizational planning and in fulfilling service needs. The size and interdependent nature of the agency (including a senior staff-to-intern ratio of six to three) provide for first-hand experience in counseling center operation, an opportunity which is not typically available in larger training sites.
- As the only counseling center internship in the nation offered at a women's university, a special opportunity is provided to focus on women's issues throughout their adult life span. Issues which are especially common among TWU's students are: women's identity development (especially sexual identity, professional identity, family role exploration, etc.), women in transition (divorce/separation, career re-entry, multiple role conflict, etc.), and women's victimization (sexual abuse, sexual assault, relationship violence, etc.).
- Feedback from previous interns has indicated that the internship experience at TWU has enriched their appreciation for ethical issues. Regular informal discussions of such issues allows interns to integrate ethics into their day-to-day functioning. Similarly, the staff has a commitment to diversity both formally through the training program and informally through everyday discussion of cultural events, customs, food, celebrations/holidays, and literature or films of interest to current staff and interns.
- Supervision is a plus for this site. Interns have a case supervisor for clinical work, internship supervisor for professional and personal development, supervision for group therapy, supervision of their supervision of practicum students and supervision for psychological assessment. Included in supervision of practicum students is a seminar during which interns receive selected books and articles to provide a common research/theoretical foundation for their applied supervision work. There are similar formats for group supervision, case review and assessment seminar.
Strong support is provided for the completion of the intern's dissertation in the form of time and resources. Each intern office has a computer with network access to the Internet.
Philosophy and Goals
The TWU Counseling Center Doctoral Psychology Internship Program is based on the conviction that personal and professional development are mutually inclusive processes. There is recognition that internship is a critical period of transition and integration. We therefore adhere to a developmental training philosophy that focuses on facilitating learning and skill building by building upon the intern's existing clinical and didactic knowledge base to facilitate the transition from graduate student to professional psychologist. Intern competencies are assessed during Orientation and in initial supervision meetings across all domains of the internship. Information and formal evaluations are used throughout the year to accommodate the intern's changing developmental needs. There also exists a strong commitment to providing supportive yet appropriately challenging supervision experiences focused on attention to the use of self as it relates to both personal and professional growth. The training staff is further committed to providing an opportunity for interns to learn and work in an applied setting as a practitioner with a scientific foundation. This translates into a model designed to facilitate intern development through extensive supervision and mentoring, didactics based on the science and practice of psychology, and multiple experiential activities. The primary objective of the internship program is to foster the development of ethical and culturally responsive counseling and clinical psychologists with a repertoire of skills, which can enable successful professional employment in a variety of settings. The goals of the program are:
- To facilitate the clinical competence of interns in the areas of therapy, intakes, crisis intervention, outreach and psychological assessment.
- To enhance the intern's commitment to the life-long process of personal and professional development through the facilitation of theory consolidation and integration, knowledge and application of APA ethical principles, role transition from intern to professional, and participation in activities to consolidate professional identity and interests.
- To facilitate competence in the area of clinical supervision through exposure to relevant literature and applied practice.
- To enhance the intern's appreciation and understanding of human diversity and the translation of this into culturally responsive treatment interventions through acquisition of knowledge and attention to awareness of self in relation to others.
In addition to these general goals for all interns, specific individual goals are discussed with interns and approved by the Training Director during August orientation.
Philosophy of Supervision and Self-Disclosure
The training program adheres to the belief that supervision is a valuable and indispensable tool for all trainees and staff. Regardless of the specific work activity, we believe that self-awareness is a critical component of ongoing professional growth. Due to our belief that the theraputic alliance is a central component of any helping relationship, it is our expectation that interns will recognize, improve, and employ those personal qualities that will enhance their work with clients, peers, other center staff, and the university community. Opportunities for personal exploration and self-reflection that impact professional development inevitably occur throughout the training year. Training staff provide ongoing feedback to promote the integration of personal and professional development.
The internship program functions in a manner consistent with the American Psychological Association's 2002 Revised Ethical Standard 7.04 (Student Disclosure of Personal Information). When appropriate, interns are encouraged, but not required, to explore historical influences and personal qualities and how these may either help or hinder psychological interventions and professional interactions. Supervisors are committed to creating a safe, trusting, and respectful environment in order to facilitate this exploration. Supervision is never viewed as psychotherapy, but rather promotion of the intern's overall professional development. Training staff, however, have the option to recommend, but not require, outside therapy to individuals who they feel could benefit from in-depth exploration of personal issues which appear to negatively impact their professional development.

(a) Interns are allotted 2 hours per week for dissertation work during the fall and spring semesters (while classes are in session) and 5 hours per week during the remaining 20 weeks of the internship year (semester breaks and summer session). This represents an average of over 3 hours per week for 50 weeks for dissertation work. Average individual client hours per week are correspondingly adjusted from 12 to 9 during these 20 weeks.

Perhaps work and family commitments have taken over your life and there's just no time for you anymore. Maybe you lost your self in your relationship, or are walking the single path and want to heal before opening your heart again.
If you're finally ready to make friends with your true SELF and are hungry to explore your creative voice, you're in the right place, my love.
I believe that spending time getting to know our true selves is as essential as oxygen, and everything I do in my e-courses, in my book and here on this site is to help women do exactly that. This is my truest soul work and my greatest joy.
One of my superpowers is bringing people together online and sharing what I know. All of my e-courses help you to dive deep into your inner world, reawakening your creativity and nurturing self-expression through photography, writing and blogging.
Plus alongside this delicious new connection to your Self, you'll also meet a group of like-minded souls from around the world — we heal and learn as we support each other. It's like magic.
I currently have three online courses on offer, each taking you deeper into an aspect of your self and your creativity...
My latest is Journal Your Life. In this brand new six-week course I lead you through the creation of your own journalling practice, including how to make a Creative Dream Journal, the tool that's helped me truly write my dreams into reality. Each week we focus on a specific area of our lives, excavating our own personal wisdom and getting deliciously honest with ourselves on the page while we flex our creative muscles. There are as many ways to journal as there are people on the planet, so I'll be sharing my own particular flavour, a mix of traditional pen-and-paper recording + visual mapping and list making. It's powerful stuff!
If you've ever wondered how you can infuse more of your soul into your photographs, Photo Meditations, is for you. The 5-week course includes in-depth lessons, assignments, narrated slideshows, interviews and all my photography secrets. It features digital, film and iPhone photography because all cameras are beautiful, so if you want to go deeper with your photography, and develop your own way of seeing the world, this is a great place to start...
And then there is Blogging from the Heart. This 6-week course teaches you how to share your life online as a way to express yourself creatively, mine the riches in your daily life and meet like-minded friends along the way. The course includes in-depth lessons, writing prompts, videos from me, interviews and everything I know about crafting a blog that truly reflects who you are. So if you want to go deeper with your writing, come join us as we explore our creativity via blogging.

This year sees the birth of the Unravelling eBook, a 16-week program designed to help you to heal the way you see your self and your world, using photography and journalling to access hidden thoughts & feelings and encourage personal realisations. There'll be photo assignments and writing exercises that help you to dig deep into your life, plus weekly videos from me, of course! All wrapped up in a gorgeous 150 page ebook. Watch this space!
"This has been so much more than just a course, it's become a Process. What I have learned, what has taken me most by surprise, is Gratitude. I find that every time I journal now I end up thanking God for my life and all that it holds. On the outside, my life seems very ordinary, perhaps even a little boring. What I have discovered is that I have an internal life that is extraordinary, rich and fulfilling. I wake up each morning excited by the sheer possibility that each day holds. This gift you've given me is priceless, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!" ~
"I can't believe how the time flew by with this course. I enjoyed it so much. I found it was the perfect place for me to spread my blogging wings, ask questions, get advice, share ideas and test new waters as someone trying to really honor my desire to blog. It is such a desire, you know? I just love doing it. And having your feedback, the Facebook community and meeting other established bloggers helped me further define my unique desire and how to best share it with the world."
