How many people have forgiven their partnerspouse for cheating or flirting with another person
This is such a long story, I'm going to shorten it up a bit. My husband and I had some friends over for 4th of July weekend. Our close friends that we knew are: Linda and Steven (the other couple that we hang out with alot). Linda's sister, Jenny, who we've met a few times but have never hung out together came also, and she brought some of her friends over, who my husband and I had never met. It was a couple other guys and this one chick named Melissa. Well my husband and some others got really drunk during the party and we were all having a good time. We started playing that game Jenga and my husband started making vulgar comments like, "Oh, he likes to poke it in the middle" whenever someone would poke the middle cube in the stack and saying things like that. This girl Melissa would laugh like it was the funniest thing in the world, you know, over doing it. Then he started talking spanish to this girl and she was talking spanish back to him. And then she was bending over MY dining room table, showing her cleavage, drawing attention to herself. I started feeling uncomfortable and I was giving my husband looks like I wanted him to shut up, but he kept going. I eventually walked away from the table and yelled at my husband for something else, and when I walked away everyone was looking and my husband told this girl Melissa, "You know she left because of you. My wife is just jealous." And then this girl walked away from the table, went outside and started crying. Then my husband tried to say it was my fault b/c I made her and everyone else at the table uncomfortable and I had no reason to be jealous. Ok. So I go outside to talk to this girl and ask what was wrong and she didn't want to say anything to me. Fine. The night ends, my husband and I talk about it a little but he was still drunk so we waited till the next evening to talk about it. I told him I was jealous b/c he was talking so vulgar in english I had no idea what he was saying to her in spanish and that I didn't like how he was acting. He said he didn't say anything rude or nasty in spanish and that I don't have anything to worry about and he's sorry he got so drunk and embarrassed me. Story over, right? wrong....
The other day I went to see my friend Linda and I talked to her about that party. Apparently, there was a whole other story going on behind my back that I didnt' even know about. Linda's fiance, Steven said (who was sitting at the table with us) that this girl was flirting with him in spanish and that my husband was talking dirty to this girl in spanish. His exact words were, "I don't know spanish, but I work with a lot of wet backs and I know the word "PUSSY" in spanish and he was talking dirty to her" and that just hurt me so much. My husband also made a comment to everyone there while I was outside trying to talk to this girl, "What can I say? I love women, but I'm a married man."
Well, I went home and talked to my husband about this and told him "I know this is just heresy, but this is really bothering me...." He admited to saying the comment about "I love women but I'm married" but he claims he doesn't remember what he said to her in spanish. He's really sorry and he says he didn't tell me before b/c he didn't want to start an argument. I don't think my husband would cheat but this really dissapoints me knowing this about him. And he lied to me about it! Everyone else knew what was going on, but me. I was made into a fool. I've talked to him about this but I still feel so hurt. We've been together for almost 7 years and have 3 children together. We are a very strong couple and he says that I'm making something out of nothing and that instead of concentrating on the 10 things he does right I focus on the 1 thing he does wrong. I'm not going to leave him or anything, but how do I get over this? Am I wrong to feel so betrayed? How do I feel better? How do I trust him again? I feel so embarrassed that all these people that don't even know me, know that my husband was attracted to this girl. I was made into a fool, and I hate that. I feel crushed.
He's an excellent dad and I know he loves me very much and I see how much he does b/c he helps me out with the every day things like getting the kids dressed and bathed, cleaning, laundry, etc. He just gets bad when he drinks. he knows I hate it when he drinks and he allowed himself do drink again this time and he totally humiliated me - just confirmed to him why I hate it when he does drink. Seems from other people that have answered (and, thanks!) that I may have these feelings for a few more days but I think I will wait until then to bring it up again. If I feel better then I just won't bring it up again, but I will be watchful.

I want to tell her that i am very sorry
We had really good times talking to each other on texting and on phone(very few times). She actually lives in Cali, and i currently live in Texas. We "met" on this online gaming thing(well she just suddenly asked me for my myspace, then gave me her phone #, without even asking her for it. That's where we pretty much started talking. We "met" on March 29 all the way to May 28, and from there, things started to die. I didn't do anything to make her mad,... or anything. I would never do anything to hurt her or anything, and i am truly sure that i didn't do anything to make her not text me like i usually do(but not always, and i am not desperate to her). Well i only texted her a few times during the first half of June. I texted her only one time each day in three days, but no reply. She did finally reply back, but she didn't sound excitedly like she usually does when i talk to her. I asked her a few questions, but she only responded in a couple, or three words. I told her that she sounded bored, and she replied, "I am lol ill text you later tho. Kayy." So then i texted her 4 days later, but no reply. But, a few days later i was chatting with her on myspace, and she did sound kind of excited when she replied, "Hey there(:". She said that she got her phone taken away for some reason until the 20th of June. That explains why she wouldn't reply to my text(and no i wasn't being desperate, i only send her one text). So yea most of the time we chatted on myspace and talked. There was this one time when we were chatting. I told her that i miss talking to her. She replied, "really.". I replied "yea", and she said, "I'm surprised your still talking to me". I was a little hurt when she told me that, but i didn't tell her anything about it so i just said why, and she said, "Just, cause you've never seen me before, and you're older than me". I replied "lol like two years". She replied "lol yea". Then i replied "mhm", then she said, "lol i love you". Why is she telling me that she loves me, when she currently has a boyfriend? Well anyway, i told her that if it bothers her that we've never seen each other, even though we just talk, and she replied, "awwww well i love you, and no it doesn't bother me, i feel like we've know each other forever". Then she replied, "Well i gotta go. i love youu"(she all of a sudden started telling me all this "love you" stuff since like mid-april, and has been telling me all that ever since, everytime when i say goodnight to her, or say bye-bye to her, or anything. Just for the record, she only put one "love ya", but the rest...."i love you") Anyways, i thought she was going to text me on the 20th, but i don't want to seem clingy. So i texted her on the 25th but no reply, the 27th but no reply, then the 29th(by a mistake), she replied, "Heyy". I replied but no reply from her. I then texted her a few hours later and she said, "Hey there love:)". I replied and she siad, "Nothing sorry i didn't text you back but i'm on my way home from Oregon. So let me text you later cause i get on and off reception" I replied and she said, "Bye, ttyl:)". So i texted her in July 4th. I texted her on that day but no reply. Then i texted her at night but no reply. So then i decided to call her but the line was busy. So i waited a couple of minutes and i called her again, but she intantly hung up. I texted her one more time saying, "Heyy umm whenever you have time, or anytime text me, okayy?". I slept with depression because i think i was being a little too desperate. She did reply a few minutes later saying, "Hey there:)". I replied but no reply. I texed her in the morning(around 10:30; July 6), but no reply.
I don't wan't her to think that i am one of those people that are...well... Clingy, but that is actually my first time for a long time. We actually had good times talking to each other in the past, and before things just started dying. She would always reply to my texts, even when she is a little busy, but sometimes doesn't reply when she is busy, and that she would tell me that she is sorry that i didn't reply to my texts, and that she feels bad. But mabye she is pretty still annoyed. I just want to tell her that i am very sorry that if i annoyed her on that day, and that i would never bother her like that, and that its just that i am trying to stay in contact with her... and that ill won't bother her in the holidays ever again. I just care about her, even though we live far away.
She is 15 and i am 17 BTW( i turned 17 in February, and she is turning 16 in August)

Should i answer the phone
So my boyfriend and i haven't been getting along very well...he seems so unappreciative these days when it comes to me!!! We have a tradition, every morning one of us (doesn't matter who) sends a texts or call to say goodmorning and i love you...and everynight, goodnight i love you...we've been doing it the past 3 years! But lately it seemed like i was the only one sending the messages...
Throughout the day i would text and say "hey wat ya up to"...and he might respond...but when he did respond he would keep the conversation short...using one word text and things as such...
So i started to get a little concerned...
This 4th of July i decided i wasn't going to send him a thing...and i went through the whole day without a single text or phone call from him....until my bestie Zac called me and asked why i wasn't at my boyfriends bbq for the 4th! Well i felt kind of embarrassed because ,my boyfriend never invited me to the cookout! Then my boyfriend decided to text me and asked me why i wasn't there...I WAS SO MAD AT HIM! He claimed that he told me and that his family really wanted to see me...
But how was i to know???
Anyother time...like when he wants to go out on a date or when he's horny he has no problem giving me three or more reminders prior to the engagement....but he told me about this cookout before???lol...it just seemed really funny...
Anyways...we got into a big argument and exchanged a lot of harsh words( meaning he called me a bitch...and i called him a few choice words) to the point where we decided to not talk or hang out anymore!
it was heartbreaking....not to mention his ex gf has been blowing my phone up talking about how he's cheating on me with her....I can't help but think the worse of me and his relationshiop!
Anyways, today he decides to text me goodmorning...lol...and that he loves me and hopes i have a great day at work...and i replied the same! Then he exclaims that his days won't be good without talking to his "wife"....and i told him it never phased him before....and he says its phasing him now and that it's ok i should just keep talking to my friends instead of him (trying to play the guilt trip) and i tell him that i've cried every night sense thursday because of how he'd been acting...then he says he's sorry and he's gonna make it up and i should stay up tonight and wait up for his call after his basketball game...
The problem is that i always let him back so easy and months from now he's back to where he started..so should i hold out on him to show him i'm really upset or talk to him tonight and makeup???
He's my boyfriend for 3 years...but we call eachother Husband & Wife because we love eachother! && plus it puts the spectators in check about where we stand...and he's not another fih in the sea...he's mine!!!

Can i apologize to her with kind and respect and that i care about her
Well... she currently has a boyfriend, which i respect that, but i just want to tell her that i'm sorry that i was being a little too desperate(well without saying the word "desperate"). I also want to tell her that i am sorry that i think i screwed up her 4th of July celebration with her family( along time ago she told me when she doesn't reply or answer my call, then that means she is either busy with her family because they don't like her to text or call up on anyone, or just ignoring my text. Like i said i think i was being a little too desperate). I don't want to text her(definately not call her up) until SHE texts me, and i know its going to be hard when it takes a couple of weeks or so, and it will be hard for me. Yesturday(4th of July), i knew she was with her family. I texted her, but she never replied. So i texted her at night, but never replied. Then i decided to call her up, but the line was busy. OF course it was done so it rang, but she didn't seem to answer the call. Then i called her again, this time she hung up intantly, while i was hearing other people in the background. I texted her one more time saying, "Heyy umm whenever you have time, or anytime, text me, okayy?". Then i went to sleep with depression because i knew i was being a little too desperate. But fortunately she replied, "Hey there:)". I replied 3 times: one with "Heyy", one with ":)", and one with, "Heyy so are you celebrating 4th of July with your family?". She never replied, so i just left it alone. Then in the morning(July 5th), I texted her "Goodmorning:)", like i usually do when when we had school, but not that much. This time she never replied.
I know i was being a little desperate, and mabye she just said "Hey there:)" so she'll won't be mean to me. I would never be mean to her, too. I feel so guilty. I want to apologize to her, but she lives in Cali man, and yes i know she is far away ok? We met on this online gaming thing or whatever. She is 15(going to turn 16 in August, and i just turned 17 in February). Yes i know i have to move on, but i just want to tell her that i am sorry that i was being desperate, this and that, but without the word "desperate", you guys know what i mean? what should i do?
I believe she use to like me, but i guess i never told her how i felt about her since we had good times texting, and very few times on the phone. I just want to apologize to her. What do i say to her?

Have you any idea what happened to those who signed the Declaration of Independence
Subject: Fourth of July . . . .
Fourth of July . . . .
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: freedom is never free!
I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many people as you can, please. It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games. God bless America!

Casual Party Etiquette
My wife and I are hosting a casual get together with 12 close friends for the 4th of July. Here's the wording of our invitation sent via e-mail:
"**** and I just wanted to invite everyone over to our house for a Second of July celebration on Thursday, July 2nd at 6:00 p.m. We plan to order pizza from Papa John's and have everyone chip in some money. They have a special right now- 3 medium/3-toppings for $21. If you have a suggestion on what toppings you would like, let me know. We need you to "RSVP" if you are coming so we don't order too many pizzas and also let us know if you won't be eating, so we can make it a cheap price for everyone.
What to bring: camping/lawn chairs, a snack or dessert, fireworks (if you want to shoot them off), outdoor games, swim suits and towels for the kids (I guess adults can play in the sprinkler and frog pool if they wish, too...), and anything else that seems outdoor and Second-of-July-appropriate.
Let us know if we can expect you and your spouse/family over at our house. Hope to see you then!"
Was this overly presumptuous to expect guests to chip in or should we be expected to pay the bill? If you were a guest attending the party, what is your honest opinion?
