I wonder this too. My DH (we are currently separated) often crossed a line with women I think. Long coffees that really weren't necessary with colleagues, that kind of thing. Not cheating per se, but it made me very uncomfortable and he wasn't always forthcoming. And then in one case the lunches/drink after work progressed to kissing at which point he says he called it off immediately. That is definitely cheating in my mind though I don't know whether he really sees it as "that bad." For me, the worst was the lies and hiding; it felt like such a punch in the gut. [ Reply | More ]

We did, literally, skip the "forsaking all others" line in our marriage vows. Although as time has gone on, with kids and careers, we have had less time to spend on the "open" side of our marriage.

[ - ] Anybody watching the NBA game? Amazing! I can't imagine the feeling of an athlete when he makes a crucial shot in a crucial game. Must be an amazing high. 18 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

There is no right thing. LL is a great public school. In the old days parents didn't overthink everything. And by old days, I mean way back in 2006 when NEST was the subject of ridicule on UB and parents used g&t programs to get their kids out of sub-par publics and not because they obsessed about their kids getting a special gifted education. Sad, and if the DOE would not have given in to the silly cry to establish more citywides, lots of this "nervousness" would be ended. [ Reply | More ]

Do you have kids in GT? My older qualified but we didn't get a satisfactory placement, younger has a spot at LL. I don't think my older dc's school is strong enough and am worried that LL might be too intense in comparison. Oh we'll, I'll just get through this and then it will soon be time to worry about middle schools [ Reply | More ]

I don't know what kind of school your older dc goes to, but if it is a good gen ed, it is strong enough. It is elementary school. Dcs don't need to be challenged all the time -- they need to learn the basics and retain a love of learning. The rest comes later. [ Reply | More ]

Thanks. I think her gen Ed is just ok, I'm switching her this fall to a better gen Ed, but it's just not about academics, she hasn't really made any friends at school so I am hoping she may do better with a new groups of kids [ Reply | More ]
