Why do married men cheat on their wives?

workout — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:06:44 +0000

Just to clarify… I’m not talking about the dirt bags who want to screw anything moving or the sad pathetic husbands who say their wife doesn’t appreciate them …. I’m talking about the couples who still cuddle, still make love, still are fully happy together. How is it possible for a husband who claims he is fully happy in their relationship CHEAT? Does alcohol and PILLS really alter the situation that much?

I talked to a marriage counselor who said that sometimes pills can be the blame of the infidelity, because it alters reflexes, mood, etc.

My husband had an affair and I am PISSED. He confessed years later to me. What’s worse is he was taking pills and drinking heavily during this time. The “other woman” was the person who he was buying them from. He only went to her house a few times, but one night she tried … and basically succeeded. He said it only happened one time and he regretted it terribly.
To answer question below … the pills were xanex and he took more than a couple and he was drinking pretty heavily. He doesn’t do them now. At the time I had my suspicions that something had happened because he would cry to me telling me that I deserved better, but never would tell me why. My heart told me that something had happened between them. When I found out he was buying them, we moved. Everything was so much better after we moved.

“Every time we go somewhere you are so quiet! You either put the music to blast loud in the car or be silent the whole trip! I’ve told you before Kayla, you’re not pleasant to go out with. The best company I ever have is when I’m with my sister! I don’t know how you act with your friends; I don’t care! You know what? Stick with your friends; I don’t give a fuck!”
My mom’s words were like punches in my heart. They hurt. My eyes started to blur and tears started to form but I forced them back. I didn’t want to show her that she hurt me. I’d look at her through the corner of my eyes. She was tensed. She held the steering wheel tightly and her bright red lips were pierced. Her blue eyes were filled with anger as they were looking straight ahead at the road. Her breathing was measured but cold. She was mad.
“When I die, I don’t want anyone to cry! Not you! I don’t deserve to have tears that are coming from you, don’t you think? I deserve more!” she continued. “I try to make everyone happy but me, who makes me happy? I understand Costa is sixteen now. He doesn’t want to be with his mother all the time but you? You’re cold! I ask you a question? I get a one word answer, Whatever Kayla, like I said, stick with your fucken friends!”
I didn’t say anything and neither did she. The atmosphere between us was cold and as much as I wanted it to warm up, it didn’t. She didn’t understand me. I was always misunderstood. Does she think that she is the only one that has protests? What did I have to say? I’m treated as if I am Cinderella everyday? Fetch me this, fetch me that…and I don’t get a please or a thank you? I clean the house and instead of getting a thank you I get yelled at because I didn’t broom? That every time I try to talk I’m always cut off or ignored? I wasn’t always this quiet. I always had something to say but I stopped. Why waste my time talking when I’m not listened to? Whatever mom, I thought, whatever!
I slammed the car’s door and zipped up my coat. It was a windy day. The sun was hiding behind the gray clouds and barely shone. It barely gave us light. I walked to where my mother stood and looked at the direction she gazed at; the forest. It was dark and scary. Turning my gaze back at my mother, I asked, “Which store?”
“Wal-Mart. We need bread and some other supplies.” She said and walked to the entrance. I was left behind to get a cart and then I had to follow her around like a pet. Yes, a pet is what I thought I was. I had to obey everything that was told and like what I didn’t like.
The carriage was full. We had bread, milk, cookies, yogurt, cheese and something that looked like vomit. I didn’t say anything to that; whatever the master wants was what I was grown up to believe.
I put the bags on my lap and opened the music. She said I’m cold; let me show her what’s cold. I didn’t talk to her for the whole drive. We were on the highway and there was traffic. Usually being silent was easy for me but today it was burning my insides. I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. All I could hear was the sighing my mom let out once every blue moon. Well, not entirely true. I also heard some screaming. Wait, screaming? My eyes fluttered open in time to see that a gas truck was coming our way. My reflexes took place. I helped my mother unbutton herself and told her that I will be out in a minute by her side. She nodded and let, taking the supplies with her. I looked out the window beside me to see that the truck was nearer. I tried taking out the seatbelt but it was stuck. I heard my mom yelling my name from a distance and raised my eyes to meet hers. She was tearing and two men where holding her arms, trying to keep her from running toward me.
“My daughter’s in the car!” she yelled, “Kayla, get out of the car! Get out! Get out!” she sobbed and tears came out more rapidly. Her entire body shook. The truck was twenty seconds away from me.
The tears I kept in before were now loose. I looked at my mother, trying o control my own sobs and yelled, “Sorry I wasn’t the daughter you always wanted mom! I guess I won’t be crying when you’re gone after all!”
She heard. She fell to her knees and wrapped her hands around her. Five, four three, two, one, I counted and everything went blank.

Headaches, Dizziness, Blackouts?

workout — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 11:06:47 +0000

Ok, this started about 2 years ago, it wasn’t too bad…
I used to suffer with really bad headaches at the back of my head!
and I’ve noticed just after about 7 – 8 months that some thing isn’t right.
Recently I’ve been getting hiccups and then it causes headaches.
I wake up sometimes with a headache and then it goes away, and this keeps happening through out the day. Sometimes, The back of my head feels heavy and It feels uncomfortable. Then today, I got up to make a drink and when I went to get a glass I had a black out and my legs got pins and needles in all of a sudden and I fell to the floor, then when I got back up, the pins and needles suddenly went away and then the headache came back. I’ve also been forgetting things, Like I went shopping with my mom and I Left the bags by the shoe area and my mom had to remind to go get them, My reflexes are very bad too sometimes I can’t move my arms!
by the way i’m 15, and I’ve never smoked or done alcohol or drugs!
and I eat healthy I don’t have a caffeine addiction either.
I’ve been to the doctor about it, and she Put me on prozotifen that don’t even work, it just makes me feel really tired. I’ve also had blood tests and they came back clear.
The next time my doctor wants to see me is in the next 6 months.

So what I want to know is could you give me a rough idea of what you think it is, and what I should do about it?

What do can do you do about tonsils so swollen you can physically feel them?

workout — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:12:04 +0000

I have been sick for exactly a month now with massively swollen tonsils and congestion. They are in fact so large that when I swallow I feel them very slowly move from back to front. You can also forget sleeping because no matter what side I sleep on, I can feel them shift to that side, hindering my breathing and collapsing on my gag reflex. Breathing through my mouth is like trying to get air through concrete, just that heavy. I snore even when I’m awake and people have thought that I fell asleep on the phone since they could hear me “snore”. My boyfriend has already heard me stop breathing and snoring “oddly”. I have an appointment for the ENT on the 28th but is there anything I can do until then for this swelling? The pain I can control but being that I can barely get anything down, past my tonsils, and breathing through what feels like concrete bags on my chest. When I swallow, I “click” where they fall back into place. Can someone please give me some advice?

This is some prose fiction I wrote…what do you think?

The Girl in the Mirror
I gaze into the mirror, and I see someone other than myself staring back at me. She has tired eyes, ones with deep gray bags underneath and heavy eyelids covered with purple eye shadow. Her nose is peeling, dry and rough, and her lips are chapped; she licks them with her pale pink tongue. Her lips are salty from the tears that had slithered down her cheeks only moments before.
She is where I am. We are in the girl’s bathroom at school, trying to remain calm, trying not to think about what is going to happen. She looks at me with a pained expression, as if to say, “Help me. I need help.” But her salty lips don’t move. They stay still as well as the rest of her face, besides the nervous twitch in her left cheek that comes and goes as it pleases.
I rest my elbows on the counter beside the sink, and she does the same. We continue to stare at each other, both thinking the same thing. “Sanitation is vital,” I tell her. She nods her head in agreement. I reach for the soap, and she starts to scrub her hands violently together. Tears well up in her eyes, and I lash out, “Put the soap in your eyes and wash them well. Maybe then you’ll be able to see what you’re doing to yourself—to us.” She does not listen to me. Continuing to rub her hands together, she watches as the suds gather, and the bubbling white foam forms in between her fingers. I watch her rinse the soap underneath the faucet. The water spurts out hard, pounding on her fingers.
And then, just like that, the girl looks at me once again and sighs. It is a deep, frustrated sigh, one that I have heard so many times before. This time though, it isn’t coming from me. It is coming from her—the girl in the mirror. Turning around, I allow her to takeover my body, and she leads me to the stall in the back of the bathroom. It is the smallest of the stalls, the one that not many people go in because of the cramped space and the disgusting smell. I am revolted, but the girl in the mirror is weaker than that. She is immune to smells such as urine, feces, and even vomit. In fact, vomit doesn’t have a smell anymore.
Crouching down, I—no, she leans over the toilet and stares into the contaminated water. There is used toilet paper clogging the bottom, which could easily be flushed away by the lever alongside the toilet. Laziness causes this stall to become such a disgrace. She pinches her stomach and cringes. Then again, it was laziness that brought her to where she was now. She pinches her flesh again and again, hoping that each time she squeezes it, maybe it will vanish. Maybe it will just go back to the way it used to be all those years ago. Has it really been years since she had been thin?
She is going to do it. There is not much hesitation. Each time she finds herself in this position, sitting beside a toilet, with dried tears plastered all over her face, she gets more and more used to the idea—the idea that everyone tells her is so wrong, is so sick, is so pathetic. And yes, she may very well be wrong about the choices that she makes, and she might be sick, and there is no doubt that she is pathetic, but at least she isn’t me. I am not that girl. I can’t be that girl.
Raising her hand to her mouth, pointing her finger, she closes her eyes. She inches her middle finger down her throat, across her tongue, and to the gag reflex in the back. The burning sensation starts in the pit of her stomach, the one that she wishes to carve into perfection, and it boils up through her throat and out of her mouth. Leaning into the toilet now, her nose almost touching the water, she hacks up the three bowls of cereal she ate for breakfast and the seven cookies she devoured for lunch. When she raises her head, she uses the back of her hand to wipe her mouth. She stands up, and looks into the toilet that she had thrown up in. Without using her vomit encrusted hands, she pushes the lever with the bottom of her shoe and watches as the toilet swallows up the remains.
Once outside of the stall, she goes back to the mirror where she can jump back into her home and set me free to be my own person again. Suddenly, I see myself. I am there in the mirror, looking fatter than ever, uglier than ever, and I am scared. Sniffling, I restrain the tears that are pounding in the back of my head from behind my eyes. I won’t let them out. I will leave my weaknesses and my insecurities for the girl who remains in the mirror, even after I exit the bathroom.
By the way, it is obviously supposed to be dramatic. And no, it is not about me…

What do you think of my story so far.?

workout — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:21:40 +0000

“MOVE GODDAMN IT.” My dad screeched, his voice echoing down the abandoned hospital “Nickie!” he screamed at me. Our eyes locked. Staring into his familiar green eyes. The gaze was broken by reflexes. My head turned towards the metal door that suddenly flung open with a great amount of force. Fanning a cloud of dust towards us. “What the. . .” my voice cut off then interrupted by another. “NICKIE GET THE HELL OUT OF HEAR” His voice cracking from the dust floating in the room. I nodded throwing the bag of ammo through the window out to my dad’s best friend Matthias who was waiting outside. He was our only reinforcements if this went badly. A shiver crawled through my bones at the thought. But then again he’s an extremely well trained hunter. My thoughts were interrupted by a high pitched squeal coming from behind me. I started to turn on my heel trying to face the thing making the unholy sound only to be knocked of my feet and flung through the air. My body hit the concrete walls with a loud ‘CRACK’. “NICKIE!” my dad yelled while he ran to my side. He helped me to my feet, I went cross eyed. My head screaming as the darkness closed in around me.

I woke up to a tiny blue room spinning and blurry “Seamus” a familiar voice yelled as the silhouette of a tall man came beside the bed. “She’s awake” The loud bellow straining my head. “Wh . . . what hap-p-p_pend” I stuttered. All the information seeped back into my head “s- s –suckers” it hurt to talk. Just the smallest sound felt like I swallowed a dozen knives. “Six of the bloody vampires at that.” I suddenly knew who the man was. His voice half Irish, half Canadian. “Matthias?” I asked bursting into a coughing fit. “In the flesh” he laughed. A kind, gentle laugh. A pair of footsteps crept into the small room “Nickie?” the person whispered. It was my dad. “Are you . . . Are you ok?” his voice was croaky and with the little amount that I could see he was also beaten up. Real bad. His face clawed and scratched, bruises puffing up on his face and a long trickle of blood falling from his cheek. “Peachy” I moaned pulling myself up. Every muscle ached and my head felt like it had been hit with sledgehammers. “What happened to you?” I asked facing toward dad, glancing at the clock. It was 11pm on a . . . “MONDAY!” I freaked. I leaped out of bed grabbing the freshly folded closes from the old dark wood table. “NICKIE” my dad said grabbing my shoulder and shoving me down onto the bed. “Sit you ass down and relax” His command voice rattled the room gently. I let out a shifty sigh, dropped my shoulders and relaxed, my eyes closing calmly. “You’re not going to go to school today. OK?” My dad stood up and left the room followed by Matthias. My thundering heart slowed down and my head stopped hurting. Just for a moment I felt peace. There was a sudden sound of claws on wood for a split second, breaking my trance and causing my eyes to flutter open. On the night stand was an Eagle. Its beak up high and its feathers shiny. Just by looking at it you could see it was a high bird. “Hello” my voice was gentle and calm. IT replied with a Noble squawk. Lifting its graceful body. Its shiny wings beating in time of my heartbeat. The beautiful creature’s body spun. Its wings outstretched, turning into a blur of brown, black and white. A gasp lifted from my mouth. At that instant it disappeared, taking the world with it.

Fainting is never fun, because when you wake up it’s like a major hangover. The world spins, your head throbs and you get serious nausea. It took two hours to get over the symptoms with help from a few liters of coffee and omlets. It turned out I slept for almost 24 hours yet I was still tired. Dad and Matthias left a note saying ‘Gone hunting, don’t stay up waiting and go to school’ the thought to skip crossed my mind but I shoved it aside. I needed something to distract me from all the real world crap.

You probably would have heard the start of this before and I have not added much on.

My mac charger is acting weird?

workout — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 23:20:57 +0000

Today I was doing some school homework on my mac. Then that little message window saying “You are now running on reserve battery power” popped up, so I got my charger out of my bag to use it. I plugged it in but it wouldn’t charge. The little red light on the thing was flickering. I pulled out the plug and made some contact with the plug with my hand. A shock ran through my arm and my hand snapped back with natural reflexes. What’s wrong with my charger?

Weird anatomy questions?
