Another week of sex, lies, conflict, and a bit of laughter. Also, I did one political piece about the debate and couldn’t resist adding again a link to my Paul Newman story. To read any entry, just click on the link.
Married but Cheating, Dr. Ruth says… When I wondered aloud, “Is infidelity a sin whose time has come?” my colleague retorted, “It never left!” Given the story in Dubai and what may actually have been a story about infidelity, it seems like a good time to revisit this piece.
Bristish Couple Jailed in Dubai: A Kiss, Sex, or Cheating? Public displays of affection are strictly controlled in Dubai. So loving on a public beach is considered a serious breach.
Lies About Lovers and The Boston Legal Lie Ever wonder why men report having more sexual partners than women?
Another Sex Scandal Rocks the Florida House The story is not a pretty one. Another sex scandal in Florida by the very person who replaced the last person involved in a sex scandal. Is there no end in sight?
The Divorce Settlement May be a Relationship Solution Sometimes half a house is better than none – both in Cambodia in a divorce settlement and in the US as the tiny house movement takes hold.
Couples, Conflict, and Laughter The most common reasons for divorce are also the most common problems about which couples argue: money and sex vie for first place and next comes work, children, and household chores.
Paul Newman: He Introduced Himself to Me as “Paul” I exchanged some pleasantries with the gentleman next to me shielding my eyes from the sun. And that’s when it happened. In the middle of a morning of blue sky and sunshine, the stars came out and twinkled blue. “Oh, I seem to know you,” I uttered. “I’m Paul,” he said, extending his hand.
The Debate and Robert Redford in the Candidate Political relationships are almost as intriguing as personal relationships. This has a great video link to an old movie, “The Candidate.”
Comments: Would like to point out that among those who commented, you may want to read about the work of Christine Gombar www.ChristinaGombar.com and therapist Dr. Karen Sherman. www.choicerelationships.com
Watch for a new addition in the coming week – a guest essay.
