Extramarital Affair: Should You Get A Divorce Just Because One Of You Had An Extramarital Affair?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Having to deal with an extramarital affair can be a life-changing event, regardless of whether you stay married or not. Inescapable feelings can come over both people who live through an extramarital affair that will never be forgotten by either of them. The person who actually had the extramarital affair can have feelings of guilt, loneliness, confusion and misdirection along with many other feelings. The ‘partner’ who did not have the extramarital affair can have these feelings as well, but the lack of confidence that can come as a result of the other person having an extramarital affair can be one of the toughest parts to deal with.

The feelings that come as a result of one or both parties having an extramarital affair are natural but can also be extensions of something much deeper. Of course, if someone has an extramarital affair, both people in that marriage will have feelings that will be “surface level” only at first. Arguments can occur, denial may set in, and/or tempers can flare due to the extramarital affair. While these things are only natural and to be expected, if your going to actually survive an extramarital affair, you must look at the deeper issues and get down to the real cause of the affair and what to do about it.

People in marriages don’t often look at having extramarital affairs lightly, and they realize most times what affects their actions will have on their marriage. If someone has an extramarital affair and doesn’t think that it will have an affect on their marriage, surely they are either in denial or their definition of marriage leans strongly towards the “open” side. For the rest of the married crowd who don’t subscribe to an “open” marriage and who have to deal with an extramarital affair, things can get a bit more complex.

Complexity can be interesting no doubt, but it can also add to the confusion of someone having an extramarital affair, especially if the couple or one party in that couple wants to look deeper at the situation and figure out two very important things:

Extramarital Affair Item 1:
Why did the extramarital affair happen?

Extramarital Affair Item 2:
Does the fact that there was an extramarital affair in the marriage really warrant getting a divorce when both people agree upon the reason that the extramarital affair happened in the first place?

If the couple really wants to save their marriage in spite of the extramarital affair, then finding out why the extramarital affair happened and agreeing on that reason is the first step in the healing process. If you are currently trying to save your marriage and one of you had an extramarital affair, try to limit your pain that you feel and talk things out with your spouse so you can clearly define and agree upon exactly why the extramarital affair took place.

If you cannot do this, chances are you will never get over the extramarital affair and your marriage most likely won’t survive…or at least you won’t have a healthy marriage after the extramarital affair.

After you have defined and agreed upon the reason that the extramarital affair took place, you must decide whether that reasons (or reasons) warrant actually going through a painful divorce. At this point you have 2 choices…either decide in your own or decide with your spouse. The latter is optimal for a variety of reasons but the main reason is that you may actually save your marriage if you decide together. Deciding together whether the real reason an extramarital affair took place indicates that you’re both really reaching out for something, something you most likely didn’t have prior to the extramarital affair…togetherness.

So, should you get a divorce just because one of you had an extramarital affair?

No, not necessarily. Depending on how collaborative you can be with your spouse, how ‘detective-like’ you can act, and how much soul searching you can do, you may just become stronger together because of an extramarital affair. It may sound odd, but that’s the truth.

Of course, it is entirely possible (and probable) that if you both don’t define and agree on why the extramarital affair took place and work to address that reason or reasons, your marriage won’t ever be healthy again and you’ll never be able to healthily survive the extramarital affair.

A dog’s guide to… Getting Your Dog to Stop Barking

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

I like to bark. I mean, I like to bark A LOT. So, whattya gonna do about it? Well, if you’re Amber and Terry, you’re going to do NOTHING about it. Ain’t nobody going to silence the Rubinman, you know what I’m sayin’? If you’re NOT Amber and Terry, though (i.e. you’re smart) and you want to know how to get your dog to just freakin’ shut up once in a while, here’s what you need to know…

Why is your dog barking?

I’ll be honest here: I bark because I like it. And because it gets me some attention. I’m all about the attention. Now, you coulda probably guessed about the attention thing, but the fact that we actually ENJOY it? Who knew?

It’s true, though. Sometimes I just get a kick out of it. It’s like, I start barking because I’m excited, and then after a while I’m all, “hey! This totally rocks!” So I bark some more. And then some more after that. Then I finish up with a quick round of barking. Sometimes I come back for an encore. The truth is, by this time, like Justin Timberlake, I’m lovin’ it. So, how’re you gonna stop me? (Clue: you’re not. You’ll NEVER stop the Rubinman. But you know what I mean.)

Well, if you want to stop a dog that’s barking just for the hell of it, you’re gonna hafta get clever. Cleverer than Amber and Terry. Whatever you do, DON’T shout at me. You want to know what I think when you shout at me while I’m barking? I think, “Coooool! They’re totally barking with me! This SO rocks!” Ha! Amateurs!

No, what you need to do is, you need to distract me. You could play with me. You could feed me. (Actually, you should totally feed me. That’s the best thing to do. End of article.) But it’s better if you TRAIN me. Uh-huh. TRAIN ME.

Now, I know what y’all are thinking. You’re all, “But the Rubinman is cleverer than me! I’d NEVER train him!” Well, you’re right. You totally wouldn’t. But if you have a NORMAL dog, you can train it. Mebbe.

I am what’s called “clicker trained.” Clicker training is when you, like, get this CLICKY thing and get your dog to believe that if the thing clicks, something good happens. Could be a goodboy. Could be a big cuddle. (Note: the Rubinman is NOT a sissy. But a cuddle can be nice). Could be playing with your toys. Whatever it is, it’s GOOD. The clicker is power, and once ya got power over the dog, you’re the boss of it.* If you’re REALLY clever, you can teach your mutt to bark on command, and then stop barking on command too, using the clicker. That’s probably too advanced for you lot, though, so…

Understand why YOUR dog is barking

So, yeah, now you know why the Rubinman barks. It’s important to know why YOUR dog barks, though. Here are some possible reasons:

He is bored.
He is scared. (I mean, I’m NEVER scared, but then I WAS raised by wolves…)
He is lonely.
He has seen the postman.
Little Timmy is stuck down a well and your dog wants to lead you to that well, rescue little Timmy and get a reward. I’ll tell ya, that happens to me a LOT.

Soooooo many reasons for barking there. First thing you need to do is, you need to find out which reason is the right one. I’ll be honest here: it’s probably the postman.

A word about the postman

Most so-called “exerts” will tell you that your dog barks when he sees the postman because the postman is intruding on your property and the dog can’t tell the difference between “friend” and “foe.” What a lot of crap experts talk, no? If I talked crap like that, man, I’d be ashamed to call myself the Rubinman, I really would.

As any dog will tell you, we bark at the postman because we hate that sucker. In the wild, postmen are our natural enemies. Walking up our driveway day after day. Stuffing things through our door. Ringing the bell. I mean, honestly, do YOU think that’s acceptable behaviour?

Stopping the barking

You ain’t never gonna stop the “me against the postman” mentality. All you can do, really, is bribe your dog to stay quiet. Remember: we have no morals. (I mean, we sniff other dog’s butts IN THE STREET, do we look like we’d turn up our noses at a spot of bribery?) We won’t be offended if you bribe us.

Now, I’m not saying you should always bribe us with chocolate goodboys. (I totally AM saying that, by the way). I’m just saying the best way to get us to behave is to reward us handsomely when we behave ourselves. Goodboys. Cuddles. Rubbing our furry bellies. Do this and we will stop barking. Mebbe.

* Amber and Terry, obviously, are NOT the boss of me, though. No one’s the boss of me.

Deciding on the Best Life Insurance Policy To Fit Your Budget

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

A contemporary survey divulged that fewer than Fifty percent of British men and women have life assurance. Hence when is the favourable point to consider life insurance?

The immediate solution is the quicker the more desirable. It covers your family financially in the possible event of the awkward death of parents and means funds can be made ready for relations. Nonetheless life insurance is not solely about protecting your offspring’s financial future, those who do not have dependents might well elect to take out life insurance to confirm that their partner is secured financially in the case of their death.

There are four eminent life events which routinely elicit people to purchase life insurance. The first is purchasing a new residence.

Buying a new and improved house is a largely taxing time, markedly if it is the first step in the lucrative properties ladder. Consequently this can often be an excellent – and comforting – moment to procure life insurance, that will be useful to pay off the debt should the unimaginable come about to you or your companion.

The second causing situation that sanctions securing life insurance is starting a relationship through marriage or feasibly a civil companionship. When you have recently vouched your unlimited affection to someone, it goes without saying that you’d want to confirm that they’ll be financially secure in the case that the worst occurs to yourself.

Having a kid to provide for produces a totally new dimension of responsibility to one’s existence, and therefore this event is often the 3rd major persuader for those buying life assurance policies. Certifying that there is a financial alternate in place to conserve the dependents is usually of the very most interest to any new mother or father.

Occasionally after a divorce you come to completely appreciate their financial value and the need to keep their families financially set more than ever before. Also if divorce leads to the cessation of a joint life insurance policy the people involved will need to organise new assurance separately.

A Fundamental Guide To Acquiring The Most Suitable TV

Monday, March 8th, 2010

There are 2 vital factors to mull over when laying your hands on a brand new telly. First, what size TV are you wanting to obtain, and secondly whether to get an LCD, Plasma or LED television.

The first thing to contemplate is the particular size of the television you are looking to procure. Today a great number of people are choosing to procure flat panel televisions; although the older bulky televisions are still available in some retail shops. The screen size is one of the most key things to consider when laying your hands on a TV. A 22″ TV might not be a sensible idea for a spacious living room; whilst a 72″ model is in all probability a terrible option for a little room. If you put 47 inch television into a small room then the picture quality will without doubt be affected. This is in view of the fact that large screens aren’t meant to be watched up close. Another critical consideration is the screen ratio. Quite a few favour 16:9 or wide display, whilst others like the 4:3 traditional screen ratios. Find a diverse assortment of technology products such as; TVs, 32 LCD TVs and DAB radios from leading brands online.

As soon as you have decided what size television is suitable for you, you ought to make your mind up on what particular type of telly you would like. The 3 popular options are LCD, Plasma, or LED. LCD tellies are one of the most popular options around. The retail price of both LCD and Plasma TV has lowered in the last couple years. LED TVs in contrast are still very expensive, in spite of the fact that they are the most energy efficient option. LCD and Plasma tellies both have good and bad points. For instance, plasma tellies can only be bought in sizes bigger than 42 inches, so if you choose a smaller telly then you should select an LCD or LED product. LCD units use a considerable amount less power than that of a comparable sized plasma model; although Plasmas have substantially better viewing angles. The quality will also differ depending on the make of the unit. For instance, a Sony LCD may seem superior to a Samsung LCD TV; however Samsung Plasma TVs might look superior to Sony Plasma TVs. The product life of both LCD and Plasma tellies is believed to be about fifteen years. The recommended retail prices are almost the same, although recently Plasma televisions have seemed to be a bite cheaper.

Television quality can be different from manufacture to manufacture as well as by size. Price also differs greatly even within one size. Overall, the acquisition of a television is a very personal decision. The ideal way to choose a TV is to compare the televisions side by side.
