RN: Naja, don't feel bad about your feelings. You are his present and his future, this is his past. It's not fair to you or him or your relationship for him to keep reliving and visiting his past. Does it hurt you that he goes every couple of years, and is there some reason you cannot be included, or is it your personal preference that you are not? I mean seriously, as husband and wife, you are one unit, it is both of you together, you should be included or it should not be an event that happens at all.

RN, There was an evil step daughter in the mix who is actually 2 years older than I am, and she misunderstood the law that when someone dies, the husband is the beneficiary. So when DH wasn't home one day, she broke in and stole most of everything in the house shortly after I moved in. I tried to make her leave and called 911, but she grabbed the phone out of my hands and she hit me upside the head with it, she popped my eardrum and I didn't hear normally for a month. She stole my stuff, too. I hid in my bedroom until she was done. DH also had her name on his savings account for emergencies, and she emptied the account. There was 17,000 bucks in it. The people he lunches with are her blood relatives. I want nothing to do with them. He understands my point, but he says they are nothing like his step daughter, and they hate her, too.

RN: Which leads me to ask again, why are you not included, and if you would not associate with these people, why would he? (Hope that (self modded) got the pokey for that)

RN: I am not included because I choose not be. Don't feel funny about asking I just don't get a good vibe from those people. My DH so freakin good hearted and trusting, he never sees the horribleness in people until it's too late. I just as soon not do anything to make these people think they can be part of our every day life. ETA: OH! and we took (self modded) to court to try to get her to return at least the money, but since her name was on the account, technicalities said she had a right to take the money.

RN: I see. You are not an insensitive <77> by any means. You are human, and I'd feel the same way, to be perfectly honest.

RN: what I posted happened in 1993, very long ago and I am over it..But when the dead wife's relatives who want to see DH come 'round every couple years, the horrible memories and feelings get all stirred up again.

RN I am thoroughly enjoying one of Oprah's favorite things for 2007. Ciao Bella blood orange sorbet. OMG this stuff is so good its sinful!!! Hubby heard me talking about it and went to the food co-op (the only place in town its available) to get some. Seriously, it tastes just exactly like blood oranges. So sweet!

RN I'm trying to think of something fun to do for my hubby's 40th birthday when he gets off work tonight. I don't think I'll tell him about Lori's conversation with her niece Lily. *L*

RN, your story of brutal honesty from kids reminds me... my Mum used to run a daycare out of the house. One afternoon, my very obese (400+ pounds) Aunt came to visit and was sitting on (filling) the loveseat. One little boy, bless his soul, comes up to her and taps her on the leg. Deadpanned, he looks at her and says, "Do you fit in your car??"

RN I have a honest kid story to that I'm still laughing about 2 days later... Sam looking at my pot belly said: Sam - Do you have another baby in your belly? Me - No, not right now. Sam - Are you sure? Me - Yes. At this point I'm laughing inside and want to hug him. Me - Sam come give me a hug....I just have so much love for you and Myla I don't know where to put it. Sam - Maybe you could put it in your big belly.
