“Homewrecker”: The Psychology of Affairs (DE Coast Press)

…decision to tell her husband, with no pressure from you. This will be the test to demonstrate her willingness to move on. If one really wants something, one must first have to pay for it.

Beware of the term “homewrecker.” It’s often used to intimidate and create un… Continue reading

Self-Sacrifice Will Not Save a Troubled Marriage

…that will give you what you want. So let’s say you put your spouse to the test. “If she really loves me, she’ll do this thing that makes her miserable.” OK, so she does it. But what have you won? You might be satisfied that you are now loved, but you’ve caused him or her a certain degree of unhappiness. What does this say about your love for him or her, and what does it do for the connection you were trying to validate? Misery loves company. In o… Continue reading

Ted Cruz, Dildos and the Awful Concept of “Historical Rights”

…sgusted or morally offended. The only rights any of us have are to be left free of compulsion. This includes free of compulsion by do-gooders (of the left or right persuasion) who seize power in government to force people to act as the control freaks deem necessary. P. Douglas goes on to say: This is the saddest defense of a law I’ve ever read. A “historical’ right”? By that standard the sale of anything invented or conceived of after John Adams c… Continue reading

Why the P.C. Establishment Is So Happy Over London’s New Muslim Mayor

…een one of the great high points of civilization, too. This makes leftists really, really angry, because they cannot stand anything being unequal. Just like it makes most Muslims really, really angry to see people believe or practice things in opposition to their most narrow-minded, restrictive and repressive of primitive philosophies. Khan is the perfect saint of progressivism: He hates income inequality, and he’s Muslim. A one-two punch! Islam a… Continue reading

…ce. You won’t eat somewhere you hate – that would be a sacrifice, but this compromise is made willingly. Compromises like this do not lead to resentment. You agree to them freely because you love someone. And, more importantly, you enjoy putting a smile on the face of the person you love. A quick little test is to ask yourself, “Is it more important for my partner to do such-and-such than it is for me NOT to?” If so, and assuming you love the pers… Continue reading

First & Second Amendments: The Last Men Standing

“Trust Your Gut” : How Wise is It?

…be, “I trust my instincts.” Such an approach overlooks two crucial areas: reality and reasoning. Reality always exists, no matter what we think, analyze, and no matter what our “gut” or instincts tell us. Reasoning is similarly inescapable. It’s not that you have to reason. You are free to go by gut, impulse, what others say (or what you think others say), what you believe God tells you, etc., etc. But the inescapable fact is that everything is b… Continue reading
