Hello God? It’s Me, Delaine. Can You PLEASE Somehow End This Date?

Submitted by Delaine

His comments caught me totally off guard:
We were out on our second date – me and this handsome, charming, 42-year-old divorced businessman. The Indian food we’d eaten was excellent, as was the conversation we’d shared: satisfying…delicious…with just enough ’spice.’  And as we sat there finishing up the last drops of our red wine, I couldn’t help but think, “DAAhmn [...]

It’s a Man’s World: Will Your Career Survive?

“This is a man’s world, this is a man’s world. But it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl.”

Submitted by: Cathy
Something has gone seriously awry in the world of the “other woman.” They have forgotten that they are the “other woman.” A title that comes with no entitlement, no power, no rights and damned sure no claim to an apology.
Heads up ladies, if you make the choice to shed your lacy thongs and [...]

Serving It Up Cold To That Lying, Cheating Bastard

Submitted by Delaine
When you found out your spouse was cheating, were you obsessed with thoughts of revenge?  Throwing all his clothes in a heap on the lawn…slashing his tires…or forwarding copies of his cyber sex sessions to his entire address book?   Maybe your fantasies were more devious – perhaps they involved some Superglue and the bathroom throne.  [...]

Escaping Divorce With “Edward”

Submitted by Delaine
Since separating almost three years ago, my leisurely reading has been very limited and very serious. We’re talking non-fiction and self-help only.   This was for a couple of reasons.  First,  the idea of anything make-believe or romantic repulsed me (I guess experiencing infidelity can have that effect).  Secondly, I had work to do – not only in [...]

Submitted by: Cathy

Tiger Woods “R” Us

Submitted by: Erica Manfred
I’ve been wondering why the Tiger Woods thing is such a big deal in the media. Why do people care about Tiger’s infidelities? After all, it seems to me that infidelity is treated as no big deal in this country. Men cheat every day, get caught, get divorced, leave their kids, drag [...]

Submitted by: Cathy
Elin Woods teed off
By now you’ve all heard about Tiger Woods and his car accident. Funny how a celebrity car accident can cause the Internet rumor mill to go crazy.
