Running into an Ex

A while back during the Garth Brooks days of country music (which as you know he is now returning to it) there was a song “Unanswered Prayers.” In this song he referred to praying that a relationship would last.

I cannot imagine having the intimacy and closeness that I share with my husband and then just all of a sudden not seeing him again. Of course in these marriages, I suppose the closeness stopped well before the divorce. I then know … Continue reading →

Do You Tell Your Husband When Another Man Hits on You?

Every now and then when we are out on a night with the girls, at work, or even simply out shopping, and we run into someone who finds us attractive.
