Date of Stay: March, 2016
Rate reflects monthly. 30/50 amp, no wifi. Men's room was very old but clean, two out of four showers were boarded up, rec room empty except for some books & seating. Pool closes in winter, close to I-515.
Date of Stay: April, 2015
We spent one night in a pull thru space with our 36' 5th wheel and long bed truck connected. Sites had some grass but mostly dirt. The lake is completely dry, most likely due to drought. Employee in the office was very helpful regarding things to see and do. No annoyances at all.
Date of Stay: April, 2015
Easy, fairly level dirt pull-thrus. This was a quick overnight stop so we stayed connected and just had enough room for our 36' 5th wheel and long bed truck. Water pressure was awful, not much more than a trickle. Everything else acceptable but not for more than a night.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Rate reflects Good Sam discount. We stayed here 3 nights while visiting Spokane, within just a few minutes drive. This was a super clean and friendly RV park. The vegetable garden was ready to harvest and anyone could just pick what they might like. My DH picked squash and green beans. Each site had a little area planted with flowers, really nice grassy area and concrete patio. Sites were gravel and level. All hookups were easy and well located. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
All back-in sites, full hookup and Wi-Fi was okay. We stayed here overnight and would have gone somewhere else if we hadn't been so tired. When we got there at 6:30pm, the site was occupied and the couple told us they had an arrangement to leave at 7pm. They were quickly loading but it was an inconvenience for both of us. We went on down the lane, assuming there was a way around or to turn around. There was no round about and a U-turn was difficult. Once we pulled into our overnight site, a loud obnoxious man came out of his apartment and hung up a sign saying "no campers". That was when we realized that our site was actually a driveway into the apt parking area so we had to disconnect, which we hadn't planned to do, to allow apt. renters to use their driveway. The camper on our other site was friendly and offered what help he could. Our site was the first on the left and if that is going to be your site, go somewhere else!
Date of Stay: July, 2013
We stayed here in a 36' 5th wheel with 3 slides for 1 month. Leaving in 3 days and wish we could stay longer. Our monthly rate was $300 + electric. Love the cool summer temps in this area. This park allows more space per RV than many other places we saw in the area. Park is set up for those over 40 years of age, extremely friendly and quiet. Two blocks from the beach and many trees along the way buffered the wind allowing us to keep our awning out the entire time. Extended stay people along outer edge with overnight sites in center. Fish cleaning station by restrooms as well as nice recreation room with pool table.
Date of Stay: February, 2013
We are Passport America members and rates reflect that. This park has very generous rules regarding PA stays. Sites are a little close together, gravel sites with grass, no slabs. Picnic table at each site. Overall, a nice park with extremely nice and helpful employees. Effort is made to minimize potholes and maintain dirt/gravel roads. Pool looked great but it was too cool to use. Spa is just sectioned from pool so water is not warm/hot. Wi-Fi worked well at our site during both of our visits. Many long-term residents, some of whose sites are dirty and/or unkempt though not to extreme we have seen on some of our travels.
Date of Stay: January, 2013
Roads at this park definitely need grading. All sites are pull through with either 30/50 amp, each pedestal serving 2 sites. Fairly wide sites but could use leveling. Two restrooms, each large with shower. Laundry room available. Spring fed pond for swimming in the summer. Not something we used in Dec. and Jan. Wi-Fi was available at our site. Employees were extremely friendly and helpful and camp hosts were available 24/7. Deer wander through the sites, not tame but not overly afraid of humans either. Makes for an interesting and photogenic stay.
Date of Stay: December, 2012
We have stayed here a few times in the past year as the park is close to our son and his family and cheaper than other parks in the area. The roads are paved, in good condition. Sites in RV section are nice, fairly level concrete. Pull through sites appear shorter than back in. On our last visit (Christmas week) we were assigned to a site that was extremely difficult to back into. The road is narrow and only a vacant site catty-cornered to ours allowed our back in. On a visit about a year ago, we were assigned to a site in the mobile home area. It was paved, large and very wide, much nicer than the recent back in site. We usually have our grandsons over for a "sleepover" while near them. We don't bother at this park since there is nothing to entertain them. Wifi is advertised, but we have never been able to get it at any site or even parking up near the office. I keep hoping that will be remedied since this is a convenient, clean park for us.

Films from the Wild and Scenic Film Festival held earlier this year in California will be featured as part of an Earth Day celebration planned for Sunday at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
Events are co-sponsored by the Pitt-Bradford Environmental Studies Club and the Allegheny Defense Project.
Activities begin with a hike at 9 a.m. from Blaisdell Hall, but will center around nine short films from the national festival. Films will show from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Bromeley Family Theater with several intermissions for food, music, door prizes and exhibitors.
The event is free and open to the public. Those attending have an opportunity to win a kayak, Osprey backpack, a hand-crafted backpack mandolin, a sleeping bag, a fishing pole and other small items. Donations will be accepted to benefit the Environmental Studies Club and next year's film festival.
A schedule of the films follows:
1 p.m. – "Gloop" and "One Plastic Beach." "Gloop is a dark fairytale that follows the meteoric rise of plastic from its inception in a gloomy laboratory 100 years ago. Told like a Brothers Grimm fable, "Gloop" offers a poignant and lasting message about the price we pay for the convenience of plastic.
"One Plastic Beach" is about a couple who has been collecting plastic debris off one beach in Northern California for more than 10 years. Each piece comes back to their house, where it gets cleaned, categorized and stored before being used for their art.
1:30 p.m. – Short films from The Earth Island Institute's Brower Youth Award Winners. Created by filmmakers from age 15 to 21, the films tackle fighting to make Girl Scout cookies more green, teaching environmental education through skateboarding, bringing urban communities through gardening, challenging the coal industry and surfing.
2 p.m. – Intermission.
2:30 p.m. – "Dark Side of the Lens" and "The Fishman." "Dark Side of the Lens" is one man's personal and heartfelt account of life as an ocean-based photographer.
In "The Fishman," Mike Kasic swims the Yellowstone River like a human-fish through swift river canyons and scenic mountain views, watching trout in fast currents filled with frothing water tornadoes.
3 p.m. – "Kayaking Seasons Fall, Winter, Spring."
3:30 p.m. – "Chasing Water" and "Connecting the Gems." "Chasing the Water" follows the Colorado River from its source to the sea. Photographer Pete McBride takes an intimate look at the watershed as he attempts to follow the irrigation water that sustains his family's Colorado ranch. "Chasing Water" received an honorable mention at this year's festival.
"Connecting the Gems" follows two National Geographic Adventurers of the Year on a 520-mile trek through one of the Northern Rockies' premiere wildlife corridors. The two hikers traverse the Yellowstone-to-Frank-Church region, paying particular attention to large carnivores and the challenges they face as they journey between these two ecosystem "gems."
4:30 – Intermission.
5 p.m. – "Mother Nature's Child." This hour-long film examines the benefits of unstructured outdoor play, risk-taking, the urban connection with nature, healthy rites of passage and the use of technology.
For more information on the films, visit www.wildandscenicfilmfestival.org. For more information on Sunday's activities, contact Dr. Stephen Robar, associate professor of political science at Pitt-Bradford, at (814)362-0242 or email@example.com. More information is also available at www.alleghenydefense.org.
Robar will be talking about the film festival on The Weekend Wrap at 6 a.m. Saturday on 100.1 The Hero and 9:15 a.m. Saturday on 1490 WESB.
For disability-related needs, contact the Office of Disability Resources and Services at (814)362-7609 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: L.A. duo Tashaki Miyaki has released a cover of Father John Misty's "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings." The girl-guy group takes Josh Tillman's Americana thumper, from this month's Fear Fun, keeps the lyrics, trades the male singer for a slouching female vocal and adds some lo-fi pop fog. If you play the tracks simultaneously, you can hear that the Tashaki Miyaki version lags just a hair behind the beat of the original, even though it seems much more delayed. Tempo-wise, Father John Misty is warmed up Log Cabin, while this cover moves as sweetly and slowly as molasses on a cold day.

After a year of medical operations and rehab, animal doctors released a green sea turtle who had been badly injured back into the wild on Wednesday. They hope that the 177-pound turtle, named Andre, will now find a mate and help his endangered species survive.
"He has overcome obstacles, predators, food scarcities, cold winters—any number of things that may have ended his life—and he has survived," said Dr. Nancy Mettee. She is a veterinarian at Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, Florida, who helped take care of Andre. "He's really a miracle turtle."
Struggling to Survive
In June 2010, beachgoers found Andre split open and stranded on a sandbar. He had giant holes in his shell, caused by two different boat strikes. More than three pounds of sand were inside the turtle, along with a few crabs. He had a serious infection and a damaged lung. Andre was pulled to shore on a boogie board and his yearlong fight to survive began.
In order to close the large holes in his shell, orthodontist Dr. Alberto Vargas used braces similar to those used on humans. Then, doctors had to help Andre regrow some of his tissue to fill in the holes. The procedures used to heal Andre are believed to be animal firsts.
Andre's successful recovery has inspired people all over the world. Many watched his slow recovery on a 'round-the-clock webcam, and more than 200 people sent money to become the turtle's "honorary parents". Children sent him dozens of letters, affectionately addressed to "Andre the Turtle."
A large crowd cheered as Andre was driven to the beach and placed on the sand, where he slowly shuffled his way into the Atlantic Ocean. Andre is thought to be around 25 years old, leaving him plenty of time to reproduce and perhaps keep the endangered species from dying out.
While Andre's fans were happy to see the turtle healthy and back in his own environment, some of his caretakers had a hard time saying goodbye. "It's just an inspiration," said 17-year-old volunteer Kelly Griffith, wiping away tears. "Every turtle is special, but he captures hearts."

Gingrich Goes on the Attack: The Ticker
That didn't last long.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich this morning departed from the campaign high road he had vowed just last week to follow. He attacked rival Mitt Romney for his tenure at Bain Capital LLC, the private equity and leveraged buyout firm Romney ran for more than a decade. Upon hearing that Romney had said Gingrich should return approximately $1.6 million in consulting fees he had earned from Freddie Mac, Gingrich responded with an attack that Democrats will surely reprise should Romney win the Republican nomination:
"I love the way he and his consultants do these things. I would just say that if Governor Romney would like to give back all the money he's earned from bankrupting companies and laying off employees over his years at Bain that I would be glad to then listen to him. I'll bet you $10, not $10,000" -- he said, referring to Romney's $10,000 bet in Saturday night's debate -- "that he won't take the offer."
Gingrich has a penchant for rhetorical warfare, and for sometimes waging it unwisely. His restraint last week was likely a case of virtue borne of necessity: Romney has plenty of money to engage in a nasty tit-for-tat on the airwaves, while Gingrich doesn't.
What Gingrich does have is the Republican debates. Saturday night's debate drew more than 7.5 million viewers, making it the night's ratings winner and the top draw of all the debates so far. With another scheduled for Thursday, Gingrich is assured a big platform to counter Romney's advertising. Things could get ugly in a hurry.

And, despite the negative notices, Bradford, like Polson, is discovering the professional rewards of being involved with a hit: "There are some serious perks to be had out of being in movies that make money," he admits.
Yet despite his knack of seeming smart and savvy, even in the recent cheerleader movie, Bring it On, it's hard to avoid the fact that Bradford is getting a bit too long in the tooth to play a 12th grader.
But Bradford is positively effusive when he's asked about his involvement with the 1998 Merchant-Ivory drama, A Soldier's Daughter Never Dies, in which he played a French teenager adopted by an eccentric American family in Paris, during the 1970s.
"It got reviewed really well for the most part, but I feel it's under-appreciated. It was an amazing experience in a million different ways. I became really good friends with Leelee Sobieski (who plays his adoptive sister). I got to hang out with Kris Kristofferson, the coolest guy you'll ever meet, and Barbara Hershey, who happens to be one of the most talented actresses ever."
Bradford is also quick to sing the praises of Polson, even though he admits that the version of Swimfan that made it to the screen was different from the script he signed up for.
"He's very creative and has a great sense of humour. And as well as being an all-round good guy, he's also a good actor's director. He understands the process well and is very open to letting you change things and experiment with whatever adjustments you want to make. And furthermore, good at talking you out of it he feels that he's right and that you're wrong."
Bradford also takes issue with the criticism made by some reviewers that the film is simply derivative.
"It's 70 per cent more creative than most of what hits the screens, and 99 per cent more creative than other films that are aimed at its audience.
"It's a case of the critics not getting it. You're dealing with some 45-year-old dude who is not in touch with the audience, but this movie is not made for him.
"But I try not to pay any attention because I think that, 10 years from now, when Polson has made two more really good movies - and he gets better and better - people will look back on it in a very different light," he says.
The same could well end up being true of Bradford, who has spent much of the past four years of his off-screen life in the classroom, graduating from Columbia University, where he majored in film studies.
"I'm not sure how it will help me because everything I want to do is something where it doesn't matter whether you have a degree or not," he reasons. "I want to be an actor and make music and be a director and you don't have to get out of first grade to do any of those things."
Having been spared the pitfalls of sudden stardom, Bradford says he is keen to steer a steady course between taking on commercially lucrative projects and edgier independent fare.
"Half of the films I've done have been independent projects, and half of those nobody has seen. But I want to want to keep working in that arena, because, regardless of how much money they make, they're the ones where you get the chance to experiment a little."
And Bradford - who had a small part in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (as Romeo's pal Balthazar) and Cherry Falls, directed by another antipodean, Geoffrey Wright - readily admits he's not interested in most of the roles that come his way. Indeed, Swimfan, which was shot a year ago, is the last film he has worked on.
"I'm happier right now to keep turning down mediocre projects... ," says Bradford, who in recent months has been writing songs for the guitar and getting a band together.
"It's not that I don't want to work on a movie right now. It's just that the last five offers I've got have been with stuff that I couldn't care less about."
Whatever the future holds, it seems likely that Polson won't be the last Australian director that Bradford works with. "I can't tell you about it because it's not set in stone, yet, but I might work with two other Australians," he ventures, admitting that he's spent some of his first visit to this country in talks about possible films.
"I don't know why I keep on working with Australians, but I'm glad that I do," Bradford says.
Swimfan is on general release.

Chopper deal probe not to impact AgustaWestland JV: Tatas
AgustaWestland signed an MoU in 2009 with Tatas for JV - Indian Rotorcraft Ltd - for AW119 helicopter assembly.
Hyderabad: The ongoing investigations in the alleged bribery case against AgustaWestland's helicopter deal with India will not have any impact on the tie-up between Tatas and the Italian chopper maker, said a spokesperson of the joint venture firm. Finmeccanica-owned helicopter maker AgustaWestland signed an MoU in 2009 with India's largest corporate house Tatas for joint venture company - Indian Rotorcraft Ltd - in GMR Hyderabad Aviation SEZ Ltd for AW119 helicopter assembly, completion and delivery to customers worldwide.
According to an official of IRL, the JV will start producing the 8-seat AW119Ke light helicopter. The production will commence from 2014.
"IRL has no connections with the Indian Air Force purchase of AW101 helicopters. IRL does not envisage any impact on the proposed Joint Venture," an IRL official spokesperson said in an email communication, when asked if the ongoing investigations will have any impact on the JV. The official said the assembly activity of the choppers is slated to start in April 2014, and as per the agreement in future IRL may sell the civilian choppers to Indian markets.
"IRL will export the assembled helicopters to AgustaWestland for it to sell to its customers. IRL business remit does not include any selling activity for defence related entities. At a future date, IRL could sell these helicopters also to the Indian domestic civil market for civilian usage. This is in line with the proposed Joint Venture s stated intent to operate only in the civilian market," the IRL official said.
The ground breaking ceremony of IRL for chopper assembling facility was held on March 14 last year in the presence of Ratan Tata, former chairman, Tata Sons and Bruno Spagnolini, the arrested CEO of AgustaWestland. AgustaWestland landed in controversies both in India and Italy following the allegations kickbacks to the tune of 362 crore paid to some of the Indian officials.
The Indian government has issued notice to the Italian firm asking it to explain within seven days the bribery allegations. The notice asked the company why the Rs 3,600 crore-deal of 2010 should not be scrapped.
India has already received three of the 12 helicopters and paid up to 30 per cent of the amount. After the arrest of Finmeccanica CEO Giuseppe Orsi in Milan on Tuesday in connection with the bribery charges, India has put on hold the receipt of the remaining helicopters as well as the rest of the payment.

Local photographer raising funds for the trip of a lifetime
BRISTOL, Va. - A local photographer is trying to raise funds for the trip of a lifetime.
Saturday night was Benjamin Walls' event called 'Tiger Now, Tiger Later' and it's a fundraiser to help him raise money for a trip in April to India to take pictures of tigers.
There was a cocktail reception, and he was offering 20% off his special edition photographs.
Walls tells us he has raised about sixty percent of the needed funds.
We asked him why he chose to go there this year.
"This is a trip I've wanted to do for literally 10 years, this year I've really taken a now or never approach, the tiger population has crashed. There's about half the population there was 10 years ago, and so I'm really trying to get over there this year so I launched a campaign this February that will end March 9th in order to boost sales and raise the money necessary in order to get to India," says Walls.
He will be heading to India in April, and will be gone for the entire month of May.

Shale Development To Accelerate U.S. Capex Spending With Hart Energy's Leslie Haines
The spending outlook for 2014 is anticipated to grow by 7% in North America, according to Barclays Research's 2014 Global E&P Spending Outlook. This is rather rosier than 2% and 4% in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Meanwhile, global spending is expected to grow by 6%. According to the report, large independents with domestic budgets above $1 billion will lead the spending gain, although small E&Ps will follow suit.

Health and Safety exhibition tradition to continue at the NEC following launch of new event
The Health and Safety Event, a new national Health and Safety exhibition and conference programme has been launched at the NEC in Birmingham from 11th to 13th March 2014. The new event will be held at the same time as Maintec, the maintenance, plant and asset management exhibition.
The new event is to be organised by Western Business Exhibitions, which for the past seven years has been responsible for a series of regional health and safety events, including: Health and Safety – South; Health and Safety – North; Health and Safety – Scotland. The event aims to meet the needs of those visitors that had been visiting the NEC on an annual basis to get their health and safety information, as well as giving visitors to Maintec the opportunity to expand the range of products they can evaluate, experts that they can speak to or seminars that they can attend.
Speaking about the launch, Tim Else, Event Director for The Health and Safety Event said, "The move of the Safety & Health Expo to London leaves a large geographical void for the UK in terms of access to health and safety information. Working with our partners we already bring the health and safety industry to Scotland and the North of England and therefore we now have the opportunity to meet the needs of those not only in the Midlands region but also those who traditionally travel to the NEC to access equipment and service providers and an education programme."
Matt Benyon, managing director of Maintec organiser, easyFairs UK said, "Many of the major disciplines surrounding maintenance have a direct relationship with health and safety and indeed, we have seen a major growth in the number of exhibitors concerned with hazardous areas at this year's event. By having Maintec take place at the same time as the inaugural Health and Safety Event gives visitors an even greater experience."
Visitors to the new national event will have the opportunity to access a range of educational conferences and seminars, all of which are available free of charge. A central platform of the educational programme is the seminars organised by The British Safety Council which address the major topics of the day as legislation and behaviour dictates.
The ability to deliver innovative, interactive activities will also be a feature of the new event such as the "Safety Dialogue' Live Panel. The Live Panel offers visitors the opportunity to engage with live debates surrounding the most significant issues of the day, alongside recognised experts.
Additionally, Health Risks at Work and their Champions Workshop will also be running and will give visitors the chance to expand their knowledge, network with their local Safety Groups and also give them the opportunity to volunteer to become a Health Risks at Work Champion.
As well as the British Safety Council conference program there are other, more practical, seminars taking place across the three day event. Visitors will be able to see vendors and event partners such as 3M and NQA host practical seminars.

Scouting Report: Big East bubble battle, Arizona's revenge, Syracuse's ACC title chase
Every Monday morning, One and One will examine the upcoming slate of games and highlight individual matchups that intrigue us in the weekly Scouting Report.
Xavier's Semaj Christon vs. St. John's D'Angelo Harrison, Tuesday. The Musketeers shouldn't have issues making the NCAA tournament barring a total collapse down the stretch, though an 8-6 league record is just nerve-wracking enough (much like an 8-7 mark is for the Red Storm). This is a significant bubble-implication game, especially for St. John's, especially after a chance for a statement win against Villanova slipped away last weekend. Two of the league's top producing guards – Christon averages 16.5 points per game, Harrison 17.8 – will help define the night.
California's Justin Cobbs vs. Arizona's Nick Johnson, Wednesday. The Wildcats have regained their firm grip on the Pac-12, thanks to UCLA stumbling last weekend and thanks to a schedule that features four winnable games from here to the end of the regular season. The first is interesting because it's the rematch of the first game Arizona lost all year, and the game in which they lost Brandon Ashley for good. Can Cobbs (15.7 points, 6.1 assists per game) make enough plays against the backcourt of Johnson (16.0 points per game) and T.J. McConnell to forge another upset?
Syracuse's Tyler Ennis vs. Virginia's Malcolm Brogdon, Saturday. This is the chance for the Cavaliers to put a stranglehold on an ACC regular season title, coming out of the weekend with a one-game lead over the Orange and getting the lone meeting of the season between the teams in Charlottesville. Will Ennis rebound from the first real adversity he's faced as a collegian against Virginia and Brogdon, who somewhat quietly is one of the best do-everything players (12.3 points. 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists per game) in the ACC?
Louisville's Russ Smith vs. Memphis' Joe Jackson, Saturday. This makes two consecutive weekends in which the Cardinals have a chance to notch quality wins that have eluded them all year. First, Smith helped fell Cincinnati with a high-arcing jumper with 2.2 seconds left on Saturday. No one will confuse Louisville 2014 with the club that won it all in 2013, but another win would underscore how dangerous the Cardinals have become. In the way is another moderately sized but not moderately productive guard: Jackson, and his 14.7 points and 4.7 assists per game. Kansas' Andrew Wiggins vs. Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart, Saturday. They may or may not spend time matched up, depending on how much Wiggins decides to freelance on the defensive end. But it's futile to deny the intrigue here. Wiggins has now averaged 18.7 points in his last nine games and has shot 58.8 percent in his last three entering a Monday tilt against Oklahoma. With that consistency, he is beginning to validate what people expected of him. Meanwhile, Smart has the opportunity to lead his team to a statement that can help save a season. He had 16 points, 10 assists, six steals and two blocks in his return from a three-game suspension last weekend. He still can change a game. This is his best chance to change the Cowboys' fortunes.

Angelina Jolie V. Jennifer Aniston! Body Language Expert Reveals Who Brad Pitt Loves More!
It's a debate that we've been having for years, does Brad still hold a flame for his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston? Our expert says NO WAY, Brad is completely in love with Angelina.
Most of you have strong opinions on whether you're Team Jen or Team Angelina. Some feel Angelina Jolie stole Brad Pitt from his loyal ex-wife Jennifer Aniston when they filmed Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, and recently comedian Chelsea Handler joined Team Jen calling Angie a "homewrecker." HollywoodLife.com spoke with body language expert and author of Toxic Men, Dr. Lillian Glass, to settle the debate once and for all: Who does Brad love more? The answer … Angelina!
Dr. Glass reveals that when comparing photos of Brad and Jen when they were married to Brad and Angelina's most recent red carpet appearance at The Tourist premiere in NYC, Brad is clearly devoted and "adores" Angelina. Unfortunately for you Jen fans, Dr. Glass says that there is "tension" in the photos of Jen and Brad, and most telling, Brad's feet aren't pointed in Jen's direction, which is a sign of not being in love.
"Brad and Jen are looking in different directions," says Dr. Glass. "His feet aren't pointed in her direction and he appears very stiff in photos, which means he's feels awkward and not very comfortable."
But when Dr. Glass examines the photos we sent of Brad and Angelina, she reveals that Brad is in "ecstasy" with his current partner Angelina.
"He holds her around the waist with a great deal of strength which signifies passion," she says. "In some photos they are chest to chest, pelvis to pelvis, which equals passion, he adores her. He looks lovingly at her based on his tender smile and the fact that his forehead is furrowed along with the smile is an indication of concern. Her gazing down shows that she feels demure and feminine in response to his masculinity. Her ever so feint smile shows that she loves all of the aatention he bestows upon her."
There you have it HollywoodLifers, do you agree?

You know...
It must be really great to live your life, never believing that YOU are the problem. Never having to look inside yourself and say "I wonder if I could be doing this better, or "I wonder if I changed just one little part of the way I handle things, our relationship might get better" because GOD KNOWS my P/A WH has NEVER done this!!!!
I was just thinking about this the other day.
Wouldn't it be great to NEVER wonder if it was YOU that made that fight happen, or that made someone sad, or that broke a promise, or that let someone else down??????
What a total relief it would be to KNOW that I am perfect.
There is absolutely nothing that I need to improve on or that I need to change!!!!
My WH cannot take any criticism at all, not really to heart.
I pride myself on being able to change and adapt and improve, but if you never had to do that, life would be so easy.
It would always be someone else's problem or fault, never mine... how relieving!!!
To believe that I was always the smartest, the strongest, the best person in the room would relieve me of sooooo much effort, so much pain, so much anguish, so much responsibility.
It must be really nice to be them - truly.

Hi all, been away from SI for a while but glad to see there's finally a P/A thread for all of us living this insanity!
Thanks to SI I found the boomerang article about 6 months ago and it just stopped us both in our tracks - it explains 20+ years of M and my H's whole life.
He's been working to improve but as so many here say it's insidious because neither partner in the P/A dance recognizes it when it's going on. And it's such deep-seated behaviour it's very hard to change.
I wanted to share a classic P/A moment - right out of a textbook - that happened just last week on our family holiday.
For years now I've been saddled with organising and running our family vacations - researching, booking, organising, playing tour-guide. Bugs the HELL out of me because it makes me responsible for everything, I never get a restful break and furthermore, my H is IN THE TRAVEL BIZ!!! Why can't he do at least some of this? I even had to book the flights to go home to my mother's funeral because he delayed and delayed, all the time saying he'd do it.
So this year I said OK, let's work on this together. How do we break up the responsibilities and the tasks so we both do some and we both get to relax and enjoy? Lots of talk and dialogue - he's really big on that end of things, not so great on the action - we decided I'd book the hotels for the first week, he'd look after the second. Driving vacation so lots of hotels in lots of cities to be booked.
Well I don't need to tell you that we left on our vacation with ALL my hotels booked and not one of his. I worked really hard at staying calm and detached - it wasn't my responsibility, not my problem. I went with the flow. He roped me in one day in an internet cafe into booking one of his nights - tried to even get the kids to do it for him!!! - and I kicked myself and promised I wouldn't do it again.
So last Thursday we're in our hotel room with checkout - and loss off internet connection - looming in an hour, still without a hotel for that night. He turned to my DD and said can you give your Mum your laptop so she can help search for a hotel with me? I said, well, I'll agree to that and to helping you out if you agree to NEVER leave it to the last day again.
He turned to me and lashed out saying, 'well, at least I don't book crap B&Bs that have us sleeping in the basement.'
I screamed 'EXCUSE ME??' 'EXCUSE ME????? I've been booking hotels for our holidays for 20 years and one night doesn't work out so well?"
I got up, told my DD that we were going to get breakfast, and walked out the room. Fuming, hurt and shocked.
Took me a couple of hours to calm down and see what a totally P/A incident this was - although he'd said he would do 1/2 of the work, he in fact wasn't going to do his part, he didn't want to do his part, he wanted me to be responsible and to take over for him, so he created a crisis by leaving it to the last minute, so I'd have to get involved and rescue him and our family vacation. Textbook P/A!!!
But it's so hard to see when you're in it. It just pushes all my buttons, as our MC would say. And boy is he a pro at it. I just hate it. So frustrating. I can't tell you how many times I've used that word to describe my M to MC/ICs. Frustrating. Makes me want to scream.
I have to say, though, that until that last minute with his attacking outburst I did a REALLY good job of just completely ignoring the P/A behaviour, of staying calm, of not taking responsibility for what he wasn't doing, or for reminding him of his responsibilities. He really pushed it to the limit, tried his level best to get me to dance, but no way I was going to.
I think that's the best we can hope for, is to change our own reactions, to not dance the dance. It goes against my core nature - I want to work together, to share responsibility, to step in when my partner needs me. But the sad truth is, they just play that against you when they're P/A.

I can hear everything you said here. I have one of these to a T. Leaves everything up to me, he will tell me because I am so much better at it then him to try to "compliment" me into it and then when that does not work he will wait to the very last second and pick the very worse thing. Then wait for me to implode. So then you try not to, go to the very worse place, keep your mouth shut and then they up the ante and do something even more childish to just finally get a reaction out of you.
I am starting to feel that the only way to cure a P/A is to just walk away from them. As there are many days I truly feel like I am going nuts.

How many of your P/A spouses have agreed to go / are going to IC to try and cope with their behaviour? Did they go willingly?
We only discovered a 'name' for my H's behaviour during MC. Once we started to look up the condition it was like a 'light bulb' moment for both of us. It's as if all the frustrations and arguments etc of the past have suddenly been explained - it's a great relief to find that all the niggles and doubts I had were not wrong!
H for his part almost feels relieved that he has a name for how he's been behaving. He read through a passage of 'traits' and couldn't help exclaiming 'fuck' at almost every line.
The fact that he has acknowledged his behaviour and is currently going to IC (anger management and assertiveness to try and break out of the pernicious cycle), does give me hope and so far, when I see his P/A behaviour rearing its ugly head I pull him up about it. Im not saying I get a positive reaction from him when I do this but for the first time he is questioning his motives and actions. That cant be bad can it?

My WH is going with me to MC. Our C is focusing on two things: my pain, and his behavior. It is helping and he is having some of the same reactions as your WH.
I have found that the best thing I can do is to try to not attack him as a person when he lets me down, but to let him know specifically what behavior of his is causing problems for me and trying to phrase it in terms of my feelings rather than his motivations.
good luck, kk

I'm not sure that walking away is a way to cure *them* - BUT (and it's a big one) - walking away can sometimes be the only way to save *yourself*
I just finished reading "Living With the P/A Man" by Scott Wetzler and quite honestly according to him, you are either going to have to learn to be a psychologist yourself, everyday, and for the rest of your life with him, or your only other option is to remove yourself from his influence.
Only you can decide if the extra effort and self-control that you are going to have to exert on a daily basis is worth it.

My WH begrudgingly went to MC with me for 3 or 4 sessions. He canceled the next appt. without telling me until it was time to go again. His reason at the time was that it was too expensive.
Now that we are S he has stated that he canceled because I was controlling the counselor, turning all her attention on to him, and that she was letting me.
I had no idea until a few months ago that my WH is P/A, now that I do, I see that he could not/can not stand to be criticized in any way - and he cannot understand that I/we were addressing his behavior and not attacking him personally.
The book has been a complete eye-opener for me as to what happened in our relationship. And has also helped me to see that his behaviors and attitudes, really don't have anything to do with me, and definitely are not my responsibility or fault.
realitybites posted 6/10/2009 11:48 AM
You are absolutely correct. I phrased that completely wrong.
To cure *myself* I may need to walk away. It really never ends. They seem to get better for a bit because they will try really hard to hide it for awhile but it does come back out if they never seek any kind of help for it on their own.
pitofdespair posted 6/14/2009 10:40 AM
I only recently started posting, but among other major issues, I always THOUGHT my WH was p-a. Reading through these posts, I was so shocked at how perfectly the behavior described my WH. The anger below the surface, the insistence that nothing was wrong, the distancing, the double standards, the onset of aggressive-aggressive behavior, the maintaining the most ridiculous logic until I was in an absolute frenzy of anger...and then the calm satisfaction of having made an absolute bitch of me (I know; I had to be part of that). The absolute absence of any kind of intimacy or sharing.
Thank you, thank you for this info. I can't believe how complicit and problematic I have been in this push and pull. Every behavior written about p-a in this thread could apply to my WH!
Faulty_Hope posted 6/14/2009 14:00 PM
Absolutely amazing.
Here I am, officially divorced July 23rd, bravely and happily moving on with my life, but there's still been this personal feeling of guilt on my part for my role as a wife during our marriage. I've felt like a monster, a woman that treated her husband like a child during the marriage, because I couldn't "accept him for who he was" according to him, and I really felt I couldn't either. After reading this thread, and the responses from everyone, it is now becoming evident that I'm NOT a complete monster, that his PA behavior is why I felt depressed, hopeless, and a complete raving bitch all the time!
I feel somewhat freed after reading about all of this. My stbxh could never:
-Make any decision on his own
-be spontaneous
-grow a spine
-converse with anyone in an adult manner
-plan and execute anything
-complete even simplest of tasks
-be the husband I needed
I would lie in bed at night, completely depressed and often cried silently, feeling like this neverending hell-hole cycle would eat me up. I felt I was being unreasonable (for asking that he act like a husband and not a 10 year old?) and coming down too hard on him. I had enormous guilt, and prayed that he would cheat or I would find out he was cheating just so I could escape this terrible state. 2 months later I got my wish, although no one really wishes to find out their partner has been having an A their entire marriage, I feel I was given a second chance.
Thank you for posting this thread. I am just one step closer to being healed.

Our MC talked to us about the "parent-child" dynamic, also said you could call this type of relationship as it becomes more disfunctional "controller-controlled" or worse, "accuser-blamed" or "punisher-victim".
In talking about Family Of Origin (FOO) issues, she said that adult children of alcoholics have certain behaviors that they learned and developed at an early age to deal with their chaotic and "unsafe" homelife, that they bring with them into adulthood that don't necessarily create problems for them in non-intimate relationships. They can get through life being the way they are at work, and with friends, because they can change jobs, move around, etc, spending only a limited amount of time with any one group of people or individual person so that their behaviors do not become dysfunctional because others do not develop habitual responses to them and mold themselves to work around their quirks.
The point she made to me was that the home life was not a safe place to show your own emotions due to the dysfunction and unpredictability of drunken adults, and that it was very important to read the other person to find out whether they were going to have an outburst or whatever, and to figure out how to get what they wanted/needed indirectly rather than be upfront and risk rejection/condemnation/abuse/whatever. So the child learned to A) push down their own needs and emotions so they wouldn't feel so overwhelmed by what they couldn't have (things, love, respect, etc) or reveal the truth about themselves which would set them up for more abuse and B) become sensitive to others in a way that allows them to effectively soothe/not upset/manipulate the other person so that there's a chance they might avoid trouble/get what they want.
I don't know if this is making any sense but MC said passive-aggressive is a bit of a misnomer, that a better term is passive-resistant. That passivity is the key -- don't react, don't act, don't do anything that might get you in trouble. That the world is out to get you. You are the victim. Find a way to get out of trouble without pissing off the big guy. If you don't like something don't ever say so directly right then. Let it come out indirectly, eventually, later, when you are far enough away in space and time that you won't get hurt. Try to imagine what its like for a little kid to learn how to survive when being raised by drunks. What would you quickly learn to do or not do? Right away those behaviors would be established and developed and when the child finally left home that's what they would do as an adult.
MC said these behaviors do not work for adults who are in long term committed relationship without the other person in their life becoming very angry because the PA partner doesn't say what they really mean, do what they say, etc. The subtlety of passive resistance makes the partner crazy because the thing that is the cause of frustration isn't right there in front of you any more. It's gone. It was last week when he said he would do the laundry and now you are out of clean pants. You are angry because of his INACTION and his deflection. He said he would do something to get you off his back in a way that would keep him out of trouble right then. Only later does the truth come out that he really didn't mean it. He just wanted you to quit nagging so he said whatever to calm you down (see he's keeping himself safe from your emotions). And HE didn't know he didn't mean it at the time. He WAS sincere, on the surface. To your face at that moment he wanted you to believe him and relax and let it go. He just underneath wasn't into it all that much. He never 100% acknowledged that he was taking responsiblity for something and would later be held accountable for it. And then things got in the way, and you calmed down, and he forgot that he said he would do it. And so when you lash out at him for not doing laundry he feels victimized by your anger. Why are you being such a nag and a bitch to him? It's so unfair and uncalled for. He's just sitting there eating his breakfast all innocent while you're trying to get dressed and getting enraged over something that in his mind has nothing to do with him.
So anyway, long way of me rambling, I've come to terms with his P-A behaviors as being a defense mechanism he has from FOO issues that have nothing to do with me. My approach is to try not to fall into the trap of "parenting" him, or of allowing him to be vague or brush off stuff when he needs to be clear.
I'm still hopeless most of the time identifying when we are getting into the parent-child mode but we are both more aware of where we've been if not where we are.

My WH, who has well established P-A behaviors, has been "typed" by someone very experienced with the Enneagram, as a type Nine, the "Peacemaker" or the "Mediator". I am a type Seven, the "Enthusiast" or "Adventurer".
The Nine description on this website http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/TypeNine.asp
reads in part "can also be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing anything upsetting. They typically have problems with inertia and stubbornness."
"Key Motivations: Want to create harmony in their environment, to avoid conflicts and tension, to preserve things as they are, to resist whatever would upset or disturb them."
the following descriptions describe someone who is basically very healthy and has functional relationships with others:
"At their best, Nines become self-possessed, feeling autonomous and fulfilled: have great equanimity and contentment because they are present to themselves. Paradoxically, at one with self, and thus able to form more profound relationships. Intensely alive, fully connected to self and others.
Deeply receptive, accepting, unselfconscious, emotionally stable and serene. Trusting of self and others, at ease with self and life, innocent and simple. Patient, unpretentious, good-natured, genuinely nice people.
Optimistic, reassuring, supportive: have a healing and calming influenceharmonizing groups, bringing people together: a good mediator, synthesizer, and communicator."
The following describes someone who is sort of average in terms of mental health, a mix of good qualities and not so good personality traits:
"Nines fear conflicts, so become self-effacing and accommodating, idealizing others and "going along" with their wishes, saying "yes" to things they do not really want to do. Fall into conventional roles and expectations. Use philosophies and stock sayings to deflect others.
Active, but disengaged, unreflective, and inattentive. Do not want to be affected, so become unresponsive and complacent, walking away from problems, and "sweeping them under the rug." Thinking becomes hazy and ruminative, mostly comforting fantasies, as they begin to "tune out" reality, becoming oblivious. Emotionally indolent, unwillingness to exert self or to focus on problems: indifference.
Begin to minimize problems, to appease others and to have "peace at any price." Stubborn, fatalistic, and resigned, as if nothing could be done to change anything. Into wishful thinking, and magical solutions. Others frustrated and angry by their procrastination and unresponsiveness."
And the following describes very unhealthy traits when the disfunctional behaviors and thought patterns take over:
"Nines can be highly repressed, undeveloped, and ineffectual. Feel incapable of facing problems: become obstinate, dissociating self from all conflicts. Neglectful and dangerous to others.
Wanting to block out of awareness anything that could affect, them, they dissociate so much that they eventually cannot function: numb, depersonalized.
They finally become severely disoriented and catatonic, abandoning themselves, turning into shattered shells. Multiple personalities possible. Generally corresponds to the Schizoid and Dependent personality disorders. "
It seems to me that many of our P-A partners may fit into this personality type and that when they are healthy we love them dearly and when their behaviors become dysfunctional they can be sucked into fantasy and the fog as a way of escaping what is going on inside.
I would LOVE some feedback on this if anyone else can relate.

Just had a lovely fight with my PA H.
Earlier in the day, we were at the pool and saw a friend of ours. I immediately say - "why don't you two take the boys to a baseball game this year". Well - after the friend left. I already realized what i had done - volunteering him. So I turned to him and said - "I'm sorry - I don't know why I did that. It was completely wrong and I apologize"
Well, a few hours later, he starts to get really angry at me about it. I stopped him and said "Wait, I recognized it and apologized to you for it - why yell at me?"
He goes on to say "You always volunteer me". And you know what - "I don't". I am very careful about including him in anything. My policy is "You have to ask him, I can't speak for him" If anything, what I did today was an anomoly.
He seriously was trying to make a huge statement about me and a right to be pissed. He went on and on. I remained calm and asked why he was getting SO angry. which of course made him angrier. Ask him to give me an example of when I might have done that to him in the past? He got even angrier.
I wouldn't let his anger run me off though. He acted like a jerk. I kept asking why he was so angry
So tired - never gonna change

The Affair and the P/A FWH:
There is much discussion about the P/A spouse; but having looked back on his affair, it was clear that he had sex with the MOW when he didn't get something he wanted because I wouldn't go along with it.
He had sex with her 4 times and each time was shortly after he was denied something.
Number one: He needed my help with his business and resented the fact that I was "smarter" than him. She had been offering sex for about 5 months before that and when he got mad at me he had sex with her to get back at me, without actually dealing with his frustration.
Number Two: He wanted to retire early; and I pointed out the fact that he would not make enough money and would have to get a part-time job. He was mad that I stopped his "plan" and had sex with her.
Number Three: He made a mistake at a shop in Mexico because he didn't understand pesos. He thought he was buying a watch for 79.00 and the charge to the room was 790.00. It was on my credit card and we could not afford that purchase. The shop refused to take it back so we had a huge fight over his impulsive spending. When we returned from our trip he had sex with the MOW to get back at me.
Number 4: He decided he wanted a new boat and told me that the payment would be the same as the old boat. I said that would be OK if we didn't have to take on a larger payment. I got to closing and found out that it was double the amount of the old payment. I refused to sign the loan and canceled the sale. He had sex with her the last time to get back at me for denying him his "dream boat".
This explained why get could throw her under the bus after she told me about the affair. He used her to get back at me. Unfortunately, by this time the MOW was "in love" with FWH and refused to let him go. She made his life a nightmare for 18 months after he dumped her. He quit his job to get away from her, and that is when she emailed me.
Before I read about P/A persons, I was at a loss to understand why he would have an affair if he didn't love her; I couldn't make sense of it. Now it clears up many unanswered questions.
We went to Retrouvaille and that was the first step in teaching him how to communicate and not stuff his feelings. I am trying very hard not to buy into his P/A behaviors.
Another thing P/A people tend to do is withhold sex when they don't get their way. It gives them control over the situation without saying a word. My P/A FWH still will do this; but I do call him on it and he is getting better about discussing his frustrations in a productive way.
It is my hope that with improved communication he won't act out by having an affair when he doesn't get his way. I can only hope that this is the case.

I have to say that my WH was shocked but felt a tremendous relief and liberation when he read about PA. He knew it was him to a T - he was the one who took on the label before I gave it to him. And his therapist confirmed it - certainly this explains so much and makes sense from his FOO issues.
He says he hates being that way, never chose it for himself (nightmare narcissistic mother who was an enmeshed control-freak who invalidated and squashed everyone's emotions because hers came first and she couldn't stand to hear about anyone elses) and has been working his BUTT off to change.
And it IS possible - to at least improve and lessen the behaviour. I think they have to see it in themselves and want to be different, and work really hard at it - you can see my earlier post where he slid back into it really badly. But after I posted we talked about it, and he laughed and said, man oh man, you're so right! I can totally see what I was doing. Let's try and catch it earlier next time. I'm sorry. I'll try and do better.
I've had to really change too, though. It's a dance. One that we reluctantly get drawn into, but a compelling one, too - hard not to react to this behaviour when it's so crazy-making!
But I've worked to try and see it when it appears and calmly point it out, not shriek or yell - his mantra from his mother was 'Don't upset your spouse' which really meant, don't upset your mother, and which he internalized as don't upset me (him).
I've tried really hard to create a safe-zone for him to change. Safety is a big deal for him - PA is just one of his issues, intimacy being the other - are they entwined? probably. But making it safe for him to try and change and to look at the pain inside has been key. Our MC says that's making a huge difference for him. It's really hard to do when I'm in pain myself and he's pushing my buttons, but I want him/us fixed more than I want to be the victim or feed my pain (not always successful, I'll fully admit!).
My H is trying to get in touch with his anger. It's coming. But as he says, it's coming out in blasts and bursts and not very elegantly. I've had to endure some of his outbursts - justified anger at something I've done but not handled very well - but at least he's dealing with his feelings IN THE MOMENT, not chewing on them, suppressing them, having them eat away inside and come out some other way. And I think this has been the source of the greatest improvement. And my response to these outbursts is a big smile, actually - it's not about the content but about the behaviour - he's honestly feeling something and expressing it. Yay!
He's learning to be aware of his own emotions - is he stressed, is he angry, and why? What's causing it, and deal with that in the moment. That has made SUCH a difference to who he is. He's living honestly and openly and in the moment. He doesn't have secret emotions and feelings. He doesn't create secret worlds where he can escape those emotions because he doesn't know how to deal with them, express them, liberate them.
Yes, he still can slide back. But he feels so much better about himself, stepping up to being who he really is inside, and feeling emotions and owning them instead of running from them. Huge improvement in his self-esteem from this. Moving out from under his mother to stand on his own two feet in the world.
Just want to give some hope here - it feels very bleak reading about PA and the life-sentence of living with it. But it CAN change. They CAN change and be much happier, more liberated people.

Wow, thanks coasterrider,
This came at a really helpful time for me.
I am a bit peeved at WH about a couple things right now. One of them is that he comes to bed late. Sometimes as much as an hour after me. He is on the computer, and since much of his EA/PA with OW#2 was done via chatting on facebook, I usually brood when he does this and feel suspicious. I don't trust him yet and feel that it's possible there is still something (or something new) going on with OW behind my back. I don't know, for sure but I can't shake the sense that it is possible and that he's lying to me about NC and good boundaries.
So I trigger, I'm suspicious. I told him I wish that he would come to bed at the same time as me, that my dozing off feeling suspicious makes me angry, and then he wakes me when he comes to bed, I harbor unpleasant feelings and don't want sex.
So, he blames me. Tells me it's because I make too much commotion going to bed and he gets bothered by that. So he waits until I've settled in. He says he gets nervous about not being able to go to sleep (sometimes he has a bit of insomnia and when that happens he gets very anxious, upset, and messed up the next day).
The other thing I'm stewing on is that he hates taking separate cars to work (we work together). Even if this means that I have to drive back and get him after doing an errand that would be on the way home for me, or if I have to stay at work late (sometimes for hours) while he finishes a project. I would like to move our home and rent some place closer to our business so one of us can use a bike to get home. I don't like it when he bikes home really late because I feel it's dangerous. I feel trapped at work and conned into being his chauffeur, and disrespected as if my time is less valuable than his.
So I tried to bring this up as well and he just gets angry. Tries to come up with all kinds of solutions to my wanting to go home that are really not acceptable to me and doesn't address the fact that I feel disrespected. Makes it sound like I'm the one who is creating barriers to getting home when I want to be home. Tells me I don't communicate that I want to go home. Again, makes me at fault. He is angry that I want to leave where we are living because he really likes it there.
And it just makes me want to lash out at him and really let him know how I'm sick and tired of the blame shifting and being made at fault when I've got a complaint about our home life.
And I know if I lash out nothing good will come of it because it just makes him defensive and unable to process his feelings because they get so buried underneath feeling attacked. At the same time I feel like I can't let it drop because it's affecting my life, dammit. And if I bring this up again, I feel like I'm the one taking responsibility for our relationship, that I'm parenting him and letting him avoid the responsibility he needs to share in working on our M.
So frustrating. I am so happy to know that someone out there with a P-A SO is finding improvement and success in their M.
ReGenerate posted 6/20/2009 19:38 PM
This thread makes so much sense to me! My STBXH is P/A and now things seem to fall into place. I am not to blame, I did not drive him into the arms of the OW. His refusal to act or take responsibility drove me into the role of MANAGER and thus began the end of our marriage. The only time he ever took a stance was when he WANTED something (house, child, etc), but as soon as he got what he wanted, he shirked the added responsibility that went along with it.
My P/A stbxh watched at least 2 hrs of TV a day, and on his day off, sometimes 10 or 12! And he TAKES NAPS! For HOURS! Good Lord, I am glad it's over.
NOW, what are the early warning signs that someone is P/A, so I can avoid thoses types? And I have a son, how do I raise him to NOT be P/A?
hemademesingle posted 6/20/2009 20:08 PM
I to unfortunately married a p/a, if I had only known 21 yrs ago when his mommy said "he's never completed any projects" to run not walk.
We are currently separated, which is for the better. We were to move 3000 miles away from everything we know. Three days before we were to leave I called him on a lie, and he got aggressive and told me I wasn't worth moving with, sounded good to me. He left and I have stayed in the house with the kids.
The thing that baffles me the most about him is that he now won't communicate at all not that he did much while living together. There will be no discussion of child support, are we selling the house, is he taking the dog, it will be total silence.
I'm glad he's thousands of miles away last time we were separated he creeped me out everytime I saw him.
He was diagnosed by an IC but he only went to about 6 appts. I've done alot of research on the subject and I keep going back to this one line.
"Sometimes, the best thing to do is just walk away from the relationship. To change their passive-aggessive behaviour, a person has to want to change and in some cases, they just dont believe there is anything wrong."

I so felt that way I can't tell you how many times! When I would not take care of one more stupid mistake I got punished. His A to this day was about punishing me, I think this is what has me so unwell to this day. I just cannot comprehend it.
Very good post. Spot on.
hollow-promise posted 6/20/2009 23:28 PM
Once I discovered the P/A affair; many things made sense to me. He had a very controlling father and was taught not to express himself or show his feelings.
He wouldn't discuss his frustrations with me so we could deal with it; so he was ripe for the MOW to move in on him, and she was his sounding board. He didn't have to deal with his shortcomings (pun intended-he has ED issues) with the MOW because he didn't care about her and she had no control over him.
He admits he never had feelings for her and frankly didn't really like her at all. She was his release for his anger toward me. He even told her it was just sex and if he were single he wouldn't have a relationship with her. She still kept coming around though.
We worked through some issues after our house was hit by a tornado and we had to work together. Right after that he dumped her and tried to be a better husband to me.
The key issue is will he do this again if communication breaks down and he gets mad at me. We have addressed old issues and I think we are on the right track. I will call him on his P/A behaviors and don't buy into the "silent treatment".
He needs to want to change and so far he is trying very hard to do so. But P/A behavior is part of his personality and will require tremendous effort on his part. It is better now than it was before. I keep hoping that it will continue for the sake of our marriage.
