Pakistan's ambassador to the US, Ali Durrani, has warned that American pressure to "do more" could undermine Musharraf and destabilize the country.
Ahead of an expected visit to Islamabad this month by US Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns to discuss strategic ties, the Pakistani foreign office is being careful to mirror the non-confrontational tone of the White House.
"In the past there have been ups and downs and there is this realization that whenever our relations have been less cooperative, both sides have paid a price for that," ministry spokeswoman Tasneem Aslam said.

yes&gt; No vacations in 10+ years, that one is tough because she’ll see her friends posting on FB and living “the good life” which is mostly BS. Thats a problem you can fix, but this is marriage not fantasy island. They will always want what they don’t have.

You bring up a very interesting point that'd I like to expand on.  

I've work in 'tech' and have been since the late 80s, and in that line of work, I've seen fairly homogeneous group of men family/economic situation-wise.  Guys who are making good money, like 100K range, but not "great money" (like $1M).  It's enough to buy a house in the suburbs and afford to let the wife quit her job and stay home once she wants to have kids.  Once the kids and mortgage come along, the guy settles into focusing on getting ahead in his career because of the pressure to provide and being a dad in his spare time.

What I've seen to a lot of the guys who fit that description is that their wives obviously focus all on the kids when they are little, then as they get older and don't require 100% of their time, settle into being "housewives" and connect up with other mom, etc. and spend a lot of time on social media, and other means to "talk with other adults" during the weekdays, since dad has to work all day.

It is this setting where they derive a lot of their social standing and status from how successful their husband is.  And most of these guys are in the more or less the same place.  However, there are few of the husbands co-workers, friends, etc who have achieved a lot more success - usually by taking some risks and starting a company of their own, etc, or being an early employee at some place that blew up.  

I've can think of 3 guys I've known personally from a long time ago that are now in the 9-figure club.  One guy was a direct report that I used manage.  I sold him an older car of mine for $1300 about 20 years ago, because he needed something to get to work and back in.  About 10 years later, he was one of the first making apps when the iPhone was brand new.. and he had a vision. If I named what it was, everyone here would recognize it.   It blew up and he was getting invited back stage at concerts, behind home plate at the world series, and cameo'd in a super bowl commercial.  A couple years later he sold the company for well over $100 Million.  On his Facebook feed one time I noticed he bought a twin-engine plane seemingly as an impulse buy.

99% of the guys I've know will never approach that, but many of their wives are aware that their husbands know somebody who has had transformative success like that.  And for many of them, especially ones that either they or their husbands knew before they "made it", they're now wishing on some level, even if they won't admit it, that they somehow had married that guy instead or that 'they didn't pick wisely'.   If their social circles includes the wife/gf/etc of one of the successful guys it's even worse - because she has to make do with the minivan and then meet up for coffee with her friends and the other lady's $200K Mercedes G Wagon or something.  You get the idea - it impacts women in the way they rank themselves in terms of social standing.

And now hubby is on some level being seen as a "failure" by his wife, even though by objective standards he's in the top 10%.  And the wife may honestly know that she shouldn't be feeling that, but she can't help it.   For some couples, this winds up degrading the way the wife thinks about her husband.  What was previous good now isn't seen as good enough, and so on.
Men and women are for the most part competitive social creatures, especially in their peer groups and communities.  When men, it tends to be more about what they personally have accomplished, while with women it's more about what they get out of the men they chose to partner with.


Sorry for this being so long winded, but you can see where I am going with it.  

I had a part 2, which I'm skipping, which covers how this same group of husbands becomes 'less sexy' and'more boring' as they deal with being a family man and provider, and how at the same time the wife more free time that not accounted for leads to infidelity.  The number of come to me personally and asked "what does it really mean when she say 'I love you but I'm not in love with you'?" now requires more than one hand to count.  :(Masonic and baseball images collide in this fun Freemason shirt with the names of 59 Freemasons who are also inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

It’s the moment that many comic book fans have been clamouring for every since the ‘X-Men’ first took to the big screen: Dazzler is joining the movies at last.
After heavy rumours that the character would be part of the ensemble of the upcoming ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix,’ Entertainment Weekly have confirmed that Dazzler will indeed make an appearance in the 2018 20th Century Fox movie based on the Marvel comic line.
The report also confirms that a scene was shot for 2016’s ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ which made reference to Dazzler, as star Sophie Turner hinted on Instagram at the time. However, the scene did not make the final cut.
It is also emphasised that Dazzler will only be a “small role” in the film – although given the character’s cult status, it seems unlikely this will be the only time we wind up seeing Dazzler on the big screen.
Created by Tom DeFalco and John Romita Jr. in 1980, Dazzler is perhaps the most self-consciously cheesy X-Men character ever, a disco singer with Kiss-like make-up and diamond-encrusted roller skates.
Her mutation – the ability to convert sound waves into light beams – is hardly the most useful super-power ever, but worked as a great on-stage gimmick.
Marvel had originally planned to use the character for multi-media cross-promotion, intending to release real Dazzler records, as well as a ‘Dazzler’ movie with Bo Derek in the lead, but none of this ever came to pass.
During production on ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past,’ director Bryan Singer tweeted that Lady Gaga would appear as Dazzler in that film as an April Fool’s prank.
