Recently my therapist and I were talking about the divorce rate among second marriages, which you all know is very high. I think around 75% or something like that. anyway she was giving her take on why. She said think about it, in your first marriage, you make your spouse #1 in your life. Then you have kids, and your spouse is still #1 (that is if you want your marriage to make it- or at least you know your spouse should be #1). Anyway, she said then why do people (with kids) who are getting married for the second time - why won't they make their new spouse #1.

Insecure again...

Tell me am I crazy? I have been telling my BF (of 3 years) that he needed to get over his anger with ex for the kids sake. So now it seems that he has gotten over that anger, and they seem to be 'friends'. He told me of a conversation he had with her the other night, sounded like it was lengthy, where they were discussing the children and how spoiled they are, and they got into 'if we were still together' would we be raising them the same or are we compensating for being apart. Well they decided that they would probably be spoiling them even if they were together.

Frustrated Again

My boyfriend tell me he loves me, I know he does, but he has such a communication problem. He says it was part of the difficulty with his ex. Okay, so then why doesn't he do something about it. He has difficulty telling me he loves me..actually saying the words. I maybe hear it about once a week. I tell him that I need to hear it more often. He has no problem telling his children he loves them every day...now I'm not comparing myself to the kids..but shouldn't that be easy to say to me too?
