W. Pa. Boy Dies After Serving as Parents' Best Man
A terminally ill 2-year-old western Pennsylvania boy who served as his parents' best man at their wedding last weekend has died, according to his mother's Facebook page and a family friend.
Christine Swidorsky Stevenson's Facebook post said little Logan Stevenson died Monday night in her arms at the home she shared with the boy's father, her new husband, Sean Stevenson. The couple live in Jeannette, about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh, and were wed Saturday at a ceremony at their home.
The boy, who had leukemia and other complications, was dressed in a tan pinstripe suit and orange shirt for the wedding. His mother carried him on her shoulder, before he stood and was held by his grandmother, Debbie Stevenson, to witness the 12-minute ceremony.
A family spokeswoman, Sylvia Johnson of Youngwood, confirmed Logan's death for The Associated Press on Tuesday. She later released a brief statement from his parents saying: "Logan passed away at 8:18 yesterday evening, surrounded by his family and loved ones. He was very comfortable."
His mother said on Facebook, "He is with angels and he's in no more pain."
The post indicates the boy's breathing became labored before his mother called a hospice worker who told the couple he was dying.
"Sean and I held him all day he was comfortable with his medication then at 8:18 my son took his last breath in my arms," his mother wrote.
She also thanked those who supported the couple during the boy's illness and wedding plans.
"We love all of u for all your prayers thank u all for caring god bless u all!" she wrote. "And most of all god bless Logan I'll c u in my dreams my son."
The Stevensons abandoned an original wedding date of July 2014 after learning from doctors late last month that their son had two to three weeks to live. The couple wanted Logan to see them marry and to be part of family photos.
Logan, who was born Oct. 22, 2010, was diagnosed shortly after his first birthday with acute myeloid leukemia. He had Fanconi anemia, a rare disease that often leads to cancer.
He underwent a stem cell transplant in July 2012. Last March, he had surgery to remove a kidney ravaged by a tumor.
During a trip to Disney World in June, Logan fell ill. He was hospitalized in Florida before he was flown back to Pittsburgh.
During a trip to the emergency room last month, a test revealed a mass in his remaining kidney, which led to his terminal prognosis.
The boy's parents kept him at home in his final days, after doctors told them he'd likely be more comfortable there, provided he was properly medicated.

This team is designed to capitalize and counter the opposing team's weather, especially Rain. It's also able to effectively counter TR, Sand, and even Hail with the right prediction. Here's the team! Team At A Glance Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SDef Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Spd - Stealth Rock - Power Whip - Gyro Ball - Spikes Ferrotorn is my SR setter and also my defnsive lead. I've often surprised teams using Magic Bounce Espeon with a well timed Power Whip or Gyro Ball, preventing Ferrothorn from being a set and switch Pokemon and instead making it an integral part of the team. His 4x weakness serves as a greeat lure for Chandelure's Flash Fire, whie the combination of his massive defenses, Rock Helmet, and Iron Barbs means that the oppnent will often have to think twice about using a Fighting move, or Fire Fang (mostly on Garchomp). It also pairs well with Latios, since Latios is able to sponge an Earthquake from anything except Mold Breaker Haxorus. Along with Scizor, he loves not only the Sand, but also the Rain, seeing as it drops his 4x weakness to an even better 2x. Chandelure @ Leftovers Flash Fire EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature - Shadow Ball - Fire Blast - SolarBeam - Sunny Day Chandelure is a highly underrated Pokemon, and makes an invaluable addition to this team. It's Timid nature allows it to outspeed many threats that could potentially kill it, and score a K.O. Sunny Day often works well against a defensive lead, like Fortress. Let it throw down some spikes, set up Sunny Day, and fire off boosted Fire Blasts and 1-turn Solarbeams like there's no tommorow. Alternatively, it can also be used late in battle to take away perma-weather after the opposing weather maker is long-gone. Its moderate defenses mean that it can take a hit from most non-offensive Pokemon, and come back for more (For example, a Surf from Jellicent will only bring it to about 20%, after Leftovers). He's also my spinblocker, if the need arises. Dragonite @ Leftovers Multiscale EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP Adamant Nature - Dragon Dance - Outrage - Fire Punch - ExtremeSpeed Dragonite is my mixed attacker/wall. As long as SR is out of the way, he has a free ticket to switch in to anything less than Blizzard/Crit Draco Meteor. In times when Latios fails/is too weak/is too fragile, Dragonite prevails. With a Dragon Dance, it works as an excellent cleaner with Outrage. With ExtremeSpeed, it works as an effective revenge killer. And when BOTH Latios and Chandelure have been lost, Fire Punch deals with pesky Steel types that just don't want to die. Works well in Sun, and doesn't mind the Rain. Tentacruel @ Black Sludge Rain Dish EVs: 252 HP / 236 Def / 20 Spd Bold Nature - Scald - Rapid Spin - Toxic Spikes - Protect While not as universally useful as Latios or Ferrothorn, it still makes a good lead when the conditions are right. Not only a great Rapid Spinner, Tentacruel's ability to counter-set entry hazards can lead to interesting mind games with the opponent. Latios's Levitate helps to absorb the many EQ's that come its way, and Protect is a great way to scout for those EQs, as well as buying some Black Sludge/Rain Dish recovery, while also preventing Rapid Spins. Tentacruel loves the Rain, with it boosting not only Scald, but adding to the recovery at the end of each turn. Scald can be used to hit unsuspecting switch ins for a boatload of damage, while also causing ragequits with its 30% burn rate. The burning also helps to break stalls in Tentacruel's favor, because all it has to do is keep attacking until it shows up, and then it's turtles all the way down. Latios @ Expert Belt Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature - Dragon Pulse - Surf - Hidden Power [Fire] - Thunderbolt Latios is my (almost) dedicated lead, and a great mixed, non-setup sweeper. With it's moveset, it seems like it hits 99.99% of the opponent's Pokemon for super effective damage, and those that aren't are hit for neutral dame. With a timid nature, it's the fastest dragon type unscarfed, and a Dragon pulse is almost guaranteed to OHKO anything short of a Multiscale Dragonite. Leviate couples well with the rest of th team, notably Chandelure, Ferrothorn, and Tentacruel. An unprepared team can be swept by this monster, and it also cripples Smash Pass Gorebyss before it has a chance to come out of its shell. Latios likes the Rain and Sun, and can easily tank an Ice Beam from Politoed of an Ice Shard from Mamoswine. It also works until the dying breath, with Toxic and Burn being conditions it can simply brush off. Scizor @ Choice Band Technician EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SDef Adamant Nature - Bullet Punch - Pursuit - Superpower - U-turn Finally, we come to Scizor, my main revenge killer and an effective ceaner. Bullet Punch is often the move of choice, followed by U-Turn and Superpower, and Pursuit filling a niche when a switch can be predicted. This little red bug loves the Rain, although it abhors the Sun. It pairs well with Chandelure, not only giving Chandelure a great FF boost, but also allowing Scizor to select a new move and get rid of Superpower drops. Closing: Thanks for reading! Outside of misprediciton issues, there are only a few problems I've had with this team: Hurricane Thundurus and Stored Power Espeon. Thundurus is the entire reason Sunny Day is on Chandy, because Hurricane has the potential to rip through the entire team, if it's unchecked. Espeon is less of a problem, but if the opposing team is allowed to setup without being checked, there's almost nothing that can be done about it. On a team like that, Latios is the go-to lead, since it can kill the often-fragile baton passers before they have a chance to become a threat.

Hi, This is a solid team, at least i can see no glaring weakness, but there are some things that can be tweaked. Since Spinnig is vital part of your team to help your Dragonite and Chandlure, I recommend you replace your current Tentacruel set with the SubToxic set. This makes it easy for you to outstall Jellicent aka OU's best spin blocker. You will lose Toxic Spikes but your team is too offensive to really make good use of them anyways. I also recommend putting Substitute on your Chandlure, because without it can be revenge killed very easily and is prone to trapping. Because you will lose Sunny Day this way you will have to use Energy Ball. You should put some form of recovery on Ferrothorn. Without it, it will be worn down quickly, so either replace a move with Leech Seed or put Leftovers on it. I suggest running Draco Meteor on Latios as it will ease wal breaking for you. Lastly you should replace Leftovers with Lum Berry on your Dragonite. This enables you to get rid of annoying burns and lets you set up a Dragon Dance on Water type without worrying about Scald. sets (Move your mouse to reveal the content) sets (open) sets (close) Tentacruel (M) @ Black Sludge Trait: Rain Dish EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Scald - Rapid Spin - Substitute - Toxic tl;dr (Move your mouse to reveal the content) tl;dr (open) tl;dr (close) Tentacruel -> SubToxic set Substitute on Chandelure Lum Berry on Dragonite Draco Meteor on Latios Leech Seed/Leftovers on Ferrothron
Hi there! very nice team here! There is not much to say about this team, is pretty solid and have a nice build. I can only think of a change and a few touch-up here and there. I notice that your team is weak to DDnite if it has the scale active because you haven't a good counter for him, if he boost his speed can outspeed all your team and thanks of his standard set can hit all your team 'cause Ferro and Scizor are OHKIng by Fire Punch (in this team there isn't rain), Chandelure, Tentacruel, latios and Dragonite take a big damage by outrage so i want advice you a good change for solve this problem. I'm talking about Heatran. Heatran is a great pokémon thanks to its typing proved to be a good check for Dragonite absorbing fire punch and taking half damage from ExtreemeSpeed and Outrage then you have the option of revengekill it thanks to HP Ice. Heatran > Chandelure undo one of your two weaknesses to pursuit 'cause Tyranitar are being able to take Latios' and Chandelure's hits and pursuit them makeing a direct OHKO. Another reason 'cause Heatran in this team is better than Chandelure is that you are too dependent from Tentacruel 'cause StealthRocks are very dangerous for Chande but also for Dnite so you have to conservate Cruel for guaranteed Nite's Sweep so you're not forced to have to spinning always. Furthermore, you yourself are a little weak in the other Heatran: with coverage Earth-Fire-Ice all your team, so it's good to give Air Baloon in him to being immune to ground move and use you too earthpower on the opponent's heatran. The set is the standard: Timid for outspeeding CB Dragonite, Coverage Fire-Earth-Ice to hit the greater part of threats and finally stealth rock, so you can free Ferrothorn's slot and put ThunderWave that will certainly come in handy 'cause you haven't scarfers, then paralyze opponents Pokémon will allow you to revengekill them much better. At this point you should change the set of latios in the OrbRecover. Whit this set you gain so more power thanks to LifeOrb and he'll increase drastically the staying power 'cause recover can restore life but also the recoil from LOrb, the set is standard: DracoMeteor is the main stab dragon, surf to hit Heatran x2 and make a neutral damage aganist the other steel type except Ferrothorn, while Psyshock is there to hit Keldeo, Amoonguss and Terrakion in the sand because with special defense increasing you can't make a direct OHKO with surf. Last thing that i want advice is to give lum berry on Dragonite, in this way you will avoid the status moves that can decrease drastically your staying power but also heal the confusion generated by outrage. Sets: Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide >Heatran over Chandelure >LumBerry @DNite >OrbRecover set @Latios >ThunderWaver over StealthRock @Ferrothorn Latios (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Draco Meteor - Recover - Surf - Psyshock Heatran (M) @ Air Balloon Trait: Flash Fire EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Fire Blast - Stealth Rock - Earth Power - Hidden Power [Ice]
Hmm... I'll definitely try SubToxic Tentacruel, and I think I'll probably replace Solarbeam with Energy Ball (Ease of use). Chandlure is really too fragile to use Substitute effectively. It's often in for a few turns to absorb the Fire attack, and may be out 1-2 turns after, depending. Leech Seed on Ferrothorn may be something I'll have to try, but the Rocky Helmet/Iron Barbs combo is too good to pass up. Draco Meteor would remove some of Latios's capability as a mixed lead, so I think I'll pass on that (There's not much that can effectively wall it outside of Blissey and Cresselia (Who really only appears in doubles), and for that I'd just switch to Scizor). I'll have to think about Lum berry, but I have a feeling that the Leftovers recovery will be too good to pass up (IIRC, it will re-set Multiscale if it gets back to full HP).
Mosquiton- I'll definetly have to try Heatran over Chandelure, especially since they're almost the same. You're the second person to suggest Lum on DNite, so that will be thrown into the pot of things to try. As for t-wave on Ferrothorn, I'm not entirely sure on. It would be a good way to mess with certain faster offensive threats, but I haven't really found a need for it when playing. OrbRecover would be interesting to test out on Latios- though it removes some of his coverage, the offensive power boost could be lovely.

The Surprising Legacy of Reformed Spirituality
In this splendid book Belden Lane has made a double contribution—to the reordering of our perspectives on creation and to our understanding of the Reformed tradition as a contributor to this reordering.
In a new study on the influence of the NeoReformed or "New Calvinist" movement on the church, the Barna Group concludes that "there is no discernable evidence from this research that there is a Reformed shift among U.S. congregation leaders over the last decade." A number of evangelical Christian leaders maintain that the study seems to contradict their on-the-ground experience.

Gabby Gods Little Angel, Sent to Show Gods Love is written by Sheila Walsh and illustrated by Marina Fedotova.
As the story begins, Raffles, the senior angel who is in charge of all the little angels, looks for Gabby, who is in guardian angel training. When she arrives (she has had an accident on the way) he gives her her new assignment, guardian angel to Sophie who has mishaps as well.
Down on earth, Sophies excitement for the day is getting to ride her pony for the first time. Gabby has her hands full keeping Sophie on the pony when the pony is startled and the ride gets rough. That evening Sophie shares with her mother that the ride was scary but she felt that someone was protecting her. Her mother takes that opportunity to tell Sophie how much God loves her and how He sends His angel to protect her. She reads Sophie Psalm 91:9, 11. It is just enough Scripture for a young child to understand and I like that Sophie prays and thanks God for sending His angel to help her stay on her pony. This is a good pattern for prayer - very specific.
The story is short and to the point, making it a perfect bedtime story for a young girl. The illustrations, by Marina Fedotova, are beautiful, showing Gabby hovering around Sophie and her pony, and playing with a kitten on Sophies dresser.
I think this is a great childrens story with just enough whimsy to keep a little girl interested and enough truth to teach her about Gods love. Im only sad that my granddaughters are teens now and not in the best age group for the book. Ill be looking for a young girl to introduce to this book.
Sheila Walsh is the author of Gods Little Princess Series childrens books as well as adult inspirational books. She is currently completing her masters in theology and is an accomplished musician. Sheila and her husband and her son (who bears a striking resemblance to Raffles in this book) live in Frisco, Texas.

Photo: Comstock/Thinkstock As the mother of two boys, I have graciously accepted bottles of perfume and spa gift certificates on Mother's Day as tokens of appreciation for my efforts all year long. All good! Keep 'em coming, boys!
But the list of what I really want on my special day isn't so easily purchased: To Sleep, Perchance to Dream Breakfast in bed is charming, right down to the cold toast and dry eggs. But at least let me wake up on my own schedule that morning to eat it! No early birds up the stairs, even if they are carrying coffee. To Enjoy the Sounds of Silence Oh, sure, I'd love to go to church or brunch or the movies with the kids, but I want to enjoy in silence. No whining, no bickering or any of the other sounds of childhood that mimic nails on chalkboard. Kids, can you manage that for one day? To Be Alone, Just for a Little Bit I know the day is all about family, so why do I want to spend a portion of it by myself? Because sometimes my family drives me a little nuts. One yoga class is all I ask! We'll all be the better for it. To Control the Remote Control Maybe I do want to watch a made-for-TV movie about ice skating starring teens from the Disney Channel. So what? It's my day! And for one day, I would like to make contact with the remote control for something other than disinfecting purposes. To Win at Anything My children have now reached an age where they can beat me at almost any athletic contest. They can also outplay me in games of strategy. So, how about a nice game of Scrabble? I can still outscore them on vocabulary. To Be Reminded of What I've Gained Yes, some days I do feel like I've lost my mind as I navigate through the twists and turns of motherhood. But what I've gained is far bigger. Feel free to remind me in the simplest way possible. Draw me that handmade card. Frame that handprint. Make that lopsided coffee cup in art class. There is nothing more memorable than a gift from the heart. What do you really want for Mother's Day? Lian Dolan is a mother, wife, sister, friend, daughter, writer and talk show host. She writes and talks about her adventures in modern motherhood for her website, ChaosChronicles.com, and her weekly podcast, The Chaos Chronicles. Published on May 05, 2010

Zoomies Flying Under The Radar No More |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
This one was probably not circled on very many calendars. When the College Premier Division schedule was released, surely few singled out the April 16 match between Air Force and Utah as a possible watershed in the West playoff race. However, with Air Fore stealthily reaching 3-1, that's exactly what it has become. If Air Force wins, then Utes will have to become fans of both Arizona and Arizona State, the Zoomies' final two opponents. |

He did meet her for lunches, breakfasts, dinner--always in public places--according to him
Janis, I'm sorry but I think it was a PA as well. Oftentimes WS will only admit to as little information that BS already knows, for as long as they can. Whether they are remorseful and trying to "protect" themselves or their BS, there are a lot of reasons, but it is hard, especially after so long, to just come out and admit what it really was.
Of course this is just my suspicion based on the facts and my own history and reading so much about affairs. I am happy that R is going well for you but it does sound like you still have a lot of questions and issues that getting the whole truth could help you deal with.
I know that right now he is acting remorseful and it does not seem like he's involved in an affair, and that is great. I am not saying he is NOW in a physical affair but it definitely sounds like he was and I am not sure what you think about whether he was or what that would mean, or what the fact that he would be hiding this from you means to you. If you are happy and comfortable with knowing whatever it was was over, or if you totally believe him that it was just an EA, then I wish you the best and I am not here to say, believe this stranger on the Internet over your own husband.
But if you still have prodding thoughts or issues that are important to you, I urge you to check into things. Of course he can SAY they only met in public places but that makes no sense to me when they were having phone sex for 7 years. It just does not add up, I'm sorry, and I think some of what you're feeling is because it doesn't add up to you, either. If these issues bother you it is best to get to the root of them so you two can proceed with the full truth/ knowledge of what happened. But if you think I am totally off base and you are sure you know what all happened, then I apologize and I will step out of the way. I guess I just wanted to say that I think you are having these issues nagging at you because maybe deep down something about his story doesn't add up to you and as much as you WANT to be able to move on and have things continue to be great, you really can't do that if you feel there are unanswered questions or deceit from him regarding the past. Never be afraid to ask questions or seek the truth, especially if it is what you need to heal. It doesn't mean your relationship is over and I hope that he is totally willing to honestly answer any question you have for him and to discuss it for as long as you need him to talk to you about it. Don't be afraid to push him away because if he is truly remorseful he will do whatever you need from him to heal. ((janis))
Thank you for your reply, Im dont understand how his reason is trying to shift the blame to me because he said it was exciting to him and all that he doesn't understand why he does it. He has been saying its not my fault at all, anytime I try to say something like if I was was prettier/skinnier etc etc. He always says its not My fault its his, and he does want to do it anymore and needs to get help. He has never blamed me.
Thanks for taking the time out to read my story, sorry it was so long it felt better to write it out. He said he wants to get on here and read and ask questions that might help him. He does want to go to IC and MC, and his dad was the same way with his mom until she left him. So he grew up seeing that. I think his dad has changed but I dont know how or why he did and they aren't close so it wouldn't help to ask his dad what helped him change.
thank you, and yes he is doing all of those. He started the NC a month and a Half before I even found out about the affair. She broke the NC by texting him thats when he got caught(I checked phone records and there really was NC from when he said), He is being transparent(even changed his phone number so no one could contact him) we are going to Counseling together and he will start going on his own soon. He is taking alot of the necessary steps for a R.
And for everyone mentioning my son, He was not around during our arguements(he was at grandma's for the summer) and we don't argue in front of him. So he isn't seeing that behavior as a roll model because he is either asleep or was on vacation. My boyfriend and I are both mature enough to not let my son see us fight or talk about any of that.
Thanks again for your replies. Im so glad I found this site.
Another question Might be in the wrong section But I had looked at this site for a few days and read stuff and it seemed like I was doing good then I didn't look at the site for like 4 days and the next day I looked at it, it put me in a bad mood it was like all my triggers went off from reading some stuff. Anyone else have that problem?

So he grew up seeing that. I think his dad has changed but I dont know how or why he did and they aren't close so it wouldn't help to ask his dad what helped him change.
I apologize, I misunderstood your original question a little. I thought you meant he was saying that the sex wasn't alive or passionate enough with you and you were saying that it was.
Okay. So here we have a guy who has passionate and alive sex with his girlfriend, according to both you and him. And yet he still needs sex from other places. I'll give him one thing: he is honest in saying that he likes the chase/ thrill. That is actually a really good thing that he recognized that and told you that, and I understand how he might *realize* he has a big problem and maybe even know he needs to stop and wants to stop. I guess the problem is, can he really stop? This seems so ingrained in him and I think there is *always* hope for change but he has to really, really want it. And he has to consistently do the hard work to keep wanting to live a life that to him, by his own admission, would be rather lackluster, if he gets a thrill out of sex with other people.
Another risk is that he is just putting on a big front to get you to stay with him. I guess there is no way to really know except observing his actions over a long period of time. That will require a lot of patience and hope on your part and I would hate to see you invest all that time and energy into someone who ends up betraying you again. It's a risk everyone takes and as a FWF I know that sometimes it ends up that the cheater *does* change... but in your situation, it is just such a habitual pattern with him, like a serial cheater who needs his next fix.
I don't know. I don't want to discourage you but I just want you to protect yourself. I guess the positives to your story are that he is telling you the truth now and he admits he has a problem... that's the first step. I know if he does really want to change and he works hard, he CAN change. It's great that he wants to come here and talk to us. It's great that he wants to go to therapy.
You know what? I was a serial cheater and I didn't even realize it... I always had "less serious" relationships like boyfriends (instead of being engaged like I was with BF) and I always justified how they ended with me leaving one guy for another. I would say, I *tried* to break it off with him, but he wouldn't listen, or we were on a break. In the past mine were all 'exit affairs' because I couldn't manage to get rid of one guy until a new guy came along. And with my BF I followed that pattern, although I wasn't unhappy with him before I met xOM. But once I started talking to xOM and things progressed and got physical, I thought, I can't be in two relationships at once, I can't stay engaged, so I broke up with BF. But you know what, he didn't give up on me. He realized I had issues and he asked me to reconsider throwing away our great relationship to chase after a fraud.
It wasn't until we decided to R and I started doing a lot of hard work on myself-- this site, therapy, reading books about self-esteem and affairs, thinking about my upbringing, etc. -- that I even *realized* I had a problem and I wanted/ needed to change. I often think that if things hadn't happened this way, I would have gone on cheating and jumping from one guy to the next for a really long time.
So perhaps it is hypocritical of me to doubt that your boyfriend can change. Perhaps he is at that point where he really wants/ needs to change and he is prepared to star the hard work. If so, then in away he is very much ahead of where I was when I cheated and when we started R. I didn't even *realize* I had these problems or how hard it would be to change.
I guess the problem is, maybe he's not at that point, or maybe he is but he just doesn't have what it takes right now to change. Your love can help him see that there is something really good for him if he straightens out, but it CAN'T fix him or change him, he still needs to do that all on his own whether you are there or not. So it's such a huge gamble on your part when there is really nothing you do to influence the outcome.
I don't know if I've helped you at all or confused you more. My gut reaction to your story was RUN FAST AWAY girl, I'm glad you came and posted here because I wanted to tell you that but it was the JFO forum. But I can't say someone CAN'T change. I will say that the following ingredients are very necessary, and if they aren't there right away and they don't stay there, RUN FAST AWAY: honesty, transparency, remorse, empathy, desire to change.
Best wishes and hugs.
I would like to believe he did not have sex with her (I did ask if they got physical and he denyed that too)--I just keep listening and watching his behavior to see if something slips---over time things usually do come out. His story about being physical has not changed from day one---other statements have changed some but not that. I enjoy each day with him but I will never trust 100% again...so part of me will always be on alert to anything said--little looks--etc.
Has he ever explained why it is that he could have phone sex with her but he couldn't/ wouldn't have any physical contact with her? Has he explained the circumstances for meeting her in these public places? I just don't understand that kind of a relationship. You talk on the phone with someone, have phone sex with them, and you meet up with them but you don't continue that kind of talk or that kind of talk doesn't lead to it being physical? And why would there be a distinction in his mind between phone sex with this long-term EA and any kind of real contact?
Well, I don't mean to be asking questions for you, I'm sure you've probably already asked all of them and if you are comfortable with the answers, I don't mean to pry. I am really glad he is doing everything right now and I wish you the best in R! I hope he continues to treasure you like he's been doing.
According to him(and my phone records)...H was calling her 1-2 times a week for the last 7 years. He kicked it up when last son at home went away to college last fall. Before that he would meet to have lunch and talk to her..He admitted that he did not meet with her away from a public place after the phone sex started as he would be to tempted to follow through. I did ask him once what kept him from having sex outside the marriage and he said it wouldn't solve anything...it would just get messier.....
The distinction part is a good question...my guess was he knew it was wrong but since it was by phone he "technically" wasn't cheating--I believe that is what he wanted to believe. However, I can trace back behavior changes that were going on when he started doing this so it must have bothered him...most of the changes came in the form of verbally attacking me more than normal and in a more mean way, disregarding my birthday, making coments about the music I listen too (that now he turns the channel to it), etc. He must have been bothered by his choices and did admit once he wanted me to find out--guessing again, that he wasn't strong enough to stop on his own and he wanted to hurt me...like his choice was my fault....
Wow, that was helpful...gave me some of my own insight...Thanks....
I understand your point of view - however - FWH was able to plan & execute an affair for 1 1/2 - 2 years. That - IMHO proves he knows exactly what "to do" to impress & take care of his mistress. I want to be treated as well ( actually better) than his mistress.
For example - He managed to take her out to dinner for her birthday. On my birthday - he was away taking care of a sick relative. I totally understood - his need to be with the relative. At the time he "promised" to make it up to me. FINE!!! That was months ago & yes I have reminded him. The bottom line - we still have NOT gone out and HONORED my SPECIAL DAY!
If I have to ask MULTIPLE times - then IMHO I am begging for his attention. Very simply I will not tolerate being ignored/taken for granted etc.
IMHO it is the WS JOB to go above and beyond just being an attentive spouse. I really want him to pursue me - prove that he is worth my time & energy. I view him as I would any other man - step up or step out of the way. Does that make sense? Do you understand my point of view?
Thank you again for your response, Im glad that it cleared up my original question. And no you didn't confuse me more, actually he was next to me reading it with me and it was very very helpful to both of us. We both learned things that are specific to our problem. and your situation is sorta similar to ours Except He cheats alot more then you did, and he didn't have the ending a relationship by cheating, He just cheats continually through out them.
He has been in 4 long term relationships. and has had multi-able other one time things or short relationships stuff like that.
The first relationship was when he was 16 to 18 He says he never cheated on her and she cheated on him all the time.
His second serious relationship was 24-26 he says he cheated 3 times on her the first time was a threesome with a friend and his wife. The second time was a with a "escort" while he was out of town. The third time was was a one time make out session with a girl and texting for a few days. that ended because his girlfriend at the time found out. The fourth time was when they were trying to R. That one lasted two weeks with sex times. It ended cause the girl was and I quote "that girl was too crazy" He confessed when he got caught, and he told her after they broke up about the crazy girl.
the third serious realationship was from age 27-29 the first was with his previous girlfriend that lasted about a month with 3 times having sex, the second time/girl was in that same month, then was another 3some with the same friends, then he had sex with the girl from the threesome without his friend knowing. then was when he started hooking up with me and that lasted 10 or so months and was more then just a hook-up or flirting we talked everyday and hung out as much as possible and his girlfriend at the time knew about most of it and about his feelings for me(all the other girls he had cheated with he didn't have feelings for) then while he was still with his last girlfriend he started hooking up with the girl he has been cheating on, it was on and off they would go for months without talking then talk alot for a couple weeks they "made out" 2 times when he was with his ex.
Now when he got with me he cheated with his ex 2 times in the first month , then a month later he cheated with the other girl just "making out" then 4 months later he had sex with her.
So thats pretty much his entire relationship history that he can remember right now, this post help because I was asking the questions and I got some more information on his past
Now its bedtime cause he is tired and wants to go to bed and continue looking at the site in the morning. I think he is just done talking for the night.
I'm glad my questions helped you. Best wishes and hugs.

Does that make sense? Do you understand my point of view?
Yes, that makes perfect sense and I do understand. Your husband SHOULD go out of his way to make you feel special and to pamper you like he obviously did his OWs. Maybe he some kind of compartamenalization issue where he saw his OWs as one way -- he pampered them and they gave him sex but it didn't "mean" anything like long-term like a marriage -- and then he ses you another way, like strong and independent and not needing him, and alwayas there as a long-term marriage partner. If so he needs to realize and break that perception because YOU are the one he should be investing all his energy and love into.
Or maybe it is so unnatural to him that he thinks if he does something sweet for you, you will think he is just "sucking up" or doing it to be fake. I have found special, new ways to show BF I love him and to spoil him. I give him massages and make dinner for him and keep my house and car clean (which is way more important to him than it is to me ) and make his bed with a little I love you note on the pillow etc. Now these things come naturally to me and I think he really appreciates them. But at first I had to be creative and think, what does he want that I haven't given him? and sometimes I felt worried that he would be suspicious and think, "she's never done this before, what's with all the special treatment? It's only because of guilt or because she wants me stick around." But now it feel like genuine love and it has become a part of our routine and I believe/ hope that he realizes I have learned new ways to show him how important he is to me, all the time.
I guess there are differences because we are not even married and we have "only" been together for 3 years. I have seen in some couples, well mostly my parents, that have been married for a long time that there is deep-seated resentment or confusion or just feeling overwhelmed with how to start over fresh and new. If this could be the case then I would be MC and communcication could help.
I am not making excuses for your husband, just trying to figure out why HE hasn't figured out that you need him to do these things, and do them for you. I totally understand that it would suck to express to your husband that you want him to spoil or pamper you and then he does not. He needs to get on the ball!!
It's good that he is being honest about all of this. He is showing a willingness to change and that is a good thing. I've realized some people just can't be monogamous. I guess a good question to ask him is, does he really want to and does he really feel he will be able to be monogamous?
He needs to be completely honest with himself and you about this so as to avoid hurting you further in the future. It's *okay* if at this point in his life or maybe if ever he isn't ready to be committed. What is *not* okay is to say he can be committed and then be deceptive and lie and cheat. I think that maybe a good way to go is if he really does think he can be monogamous then he needs to make a deal that if any cheating happens, that's it, you guys are over for good because it's the only thing that's fair for you, and if he still wants to be monogamous he can take some time alone and figure out why he has this pattern and fix it so that he can eventually be a faithful partner. Maybe you will still be there and available at that time but maybe not; either way, if he wants to be monogamous but is incapable of it, then he really needs to fix this problem for *himself.*
Invite him to join and post in wayward, we will help him.
Good luck.
I get your point of view. I do think FWS's have a hill to climb in terms of doing a lot to ensure their BS sees their commitment to the BS and no one else. Falling short of that keeps things unstable and insecure.
I think it has to be a change of mindset. A FWS almost has to look at their relationship as if they were dating again. What would they do to show their BF or GF how much they care about them? Those are the things they should be doing.
Then the catch is how to keep it going so that BOTH BS and FWS do those things for each other - that neither one takes the other for granted but remains committed to showing their love forever.
We are in MC & that does seem to help. I just want to feel special again
ps. prettyfuture - we have known each other for more than 30 years & we have been married 27 (soon to be 28yrs) It is just weird to have to start all over again
You are patient and loving. So close to dday and exploring support for your WH...WOW!
I think everybody, regardless of cheating or not, always explores their capacity to love. Its part of personal inventory and life exploration.
The difference for your husband, and us cheaters, is that he has tangible reason to doubt it. I don't believe cheating is a sign of ones ability to love another, it is a weakness within oneself to love oneself.
Yes, of course, he can love fully again. First he must understand why he doesn't love himself.
I doubt he ever loved the OW. What he loved was how he felt because of her...special, desired, new, admired. He doesn't lack love for you, he lacked the ability to communicate that he missed those feelings with you...so he took the selfish road and easy road and get them.
I say he as if it were me...no judgement and no broad strokes...but we share similarities.
hope this help. Hawthorne
Remember that STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS.
WH didn't seem like the type who wouid do this, but today he decided he wasn't coming to see them. I'm glad I didn't tell them he'd be here.
Your suggestions, please.

17600118 story Laser Camera Can See Around Corners 97 Posted by timothy on Friday November 19, 2010 @07:20AM from the good-skill-to-pick-up dept. Hugh Pickens writes "Researchers at MIT have developed a laser camera that can 'see' around corners and take pictures of a scene not in its direct line of sight. The camera system fires extremely short bursts of light that can reflect off one object, such as the open door of a room, and then off a second object inside the room before reflecting back to the first object and being captured by the camera, after which algorithms can use the information to reconstruct the hidden scene exploiting the fact that it is possible to capture light at extremely short time scales, about one quadrillionth of a second. By continuously gathering light and computing the time and distance that each pixel has traveled, the camera creates a '3D time-image' of the scene it can't directly see. 'It's like having X-ray vision without the X-rays,' says Professor Ramesh Raskar. 'We're going around the problem rather than going through it.'"

Get Living Without's FREE Recipe of the Week
Delicious allergy-friendly recipes for you and your family
Food for Thought
Oct/Nov 2012 Issue
Trick or Treat
There is no greater treasure hunter than the child with food allergies on Halloween.
Before I embarked into the wilds of suburban cul-de-sacs, my parents would gather together my essentials: trick-or-treat bag, flashlight, inhaler, epinephrine.
At each front door, I would paw through my neighbor's outstretched bowl, taking far longer than any other kid. Was there something I could eat? No dairy, egg or nuts. If fruit flavored, I looked for an explicit taste, such as cherry or lime, instead of some ambiguous "tropical" blend that might include forbidden mango.
Life Savers, Double Bubble Gum, Smarties. These were my gold.
Ring Pop? The Hope Diamond.
A box of raisins? A lesser copper but still a find.
If no allergy-friendly treat was in sight, I moved on to searching for Almond Joys—my mother's favorite—or Mounds, my father's.
If not those, I chose whatever had the fanciest package. These were my glittering jewels: gorgeous, exotic…and inedible.
When I got home, I emptied the loot out on our living room's carpet and the counting began. Like so many kids with severe allergies, I was a careful girl, detail-oriented beyond my years. I took joy in the taxonomy of candy. Sweet versus mint, dark chocolate versus white, wafer crunch versus gooey center. Although they stayed in their wrappers and far from my tongue, this was my annual chance to survey the commodities that inspired fierce trading wars among my playmates.
If my parents were nervous to watch me sort the goods, they kept quiet beyond making sure I washed my hands afterwards. They knew that I'd be de-cookie-ing birthday treat bags and peeling Hershey's Kisses off well-intentioned Valentine cards for years to come. There was no point in cultivating fear.
Instead, they took the opportunity to teach me about hidden allergens. A Tootsie Pop was not a simple lollipop, my mom explained. Although it looked the same from the outside and the first few licks might seem safe, inside waited a milky bite that could make me sick. I could scarf down the plain popcorn we made at home on movie nights but the caramel popcorn balls lovingly Saran-wrapped by the grandmother who lived down the block were held together with butter.
We skimmed treats I could eat from the batch and bundled the rest in a bag I'd give away to friends. For most kids, November 1 is anticlimactic. For me, the day marked the annual height of my popularity.
If you worry the allergic child feels left out on Halloween, you must not have seen me triumph over the "haunted coffin" that scared away others from the neighbor's yard or my delight as I fitted every finger with a plastic spider ring. Maybe you missed the time my mother sewed the elastic on perfect cat-ears or the year she fitted the gossamer wings to my Flutter-Pony shoulder blades.
Beneath those costumes, she was dressing me in the most important outfit of all—that of Just Another Kid on Halloween.

Last night I thought I'd make a treat for my 19 year old son, who is allergic to dairy, eggs, soy protein along with other things. I made a cereal mix covered in Eileen's Ivory Bark. Aldi's rice and corn squares, Golden Grahams, Stick pretzels and Brach's Candy Corn. Every item had no dairy or egg in the ingredients, however the Candy Corn and the Ivory Bark both had the typical warning about being processed on the same equipment as other allergens. So I sent my son on his way with a cup full of the yummy treat, only to be called a half hour later with, "Mom are you trying to kill me?" I rushed home from work and he also met me at the house to take his serving of liquid Benedryl and take an epi pen along with him to his apartment. He's all red in the face and itchy in his throat. So please be careful when using these products with the warnings about shared equipment. I don't know if it's the candy corn or the ivory bark that got him. This is still scary and my son's an adult.

Halloween is so tough for kids with food allergies! Thank you for writing. Just a note, Brach's candy corn contains sesame oil which is an unexpected ingredient and quite the shock for families with sesame allergic children.
