I didn't realise that she'd actually told you all this in her email, as you didn't say this in your OP.

however: "Knock yerself out, " and "Whatever, toots"

tells me that you're a total jerk and I shan't waste my time.

A person throwing the n word around in racial humor i could tolerate but to use it as a put down or to throw a negative light on another human would make my skin crawl.

recognize my own shortcomings. Which is perhaps why I am not so quick to judge anyone else, I know I am not perfect, I don't expect that in anyone else either.

Certain religious sects particularly Christian, believe the the virginity of the daughter should be taken by the father

Give her this and tell her to get help with her marriage

The Grass Is Greener - Or Is It?
The grass may look greener
on the other side of the fence
but if you look real close
it might really be all weeds
just like your own
— or maybe even worse.
If the grass really IS greener
on the other side of the fence,
it’s probably because someone
has put a lot of work into it
and if you join them there
you’ll be expected to do just as much
to keep it that way.
And you never know what weeds
may sprout from the burrs
that you bring with you
when you cross the fence.

If you really wanted to work that hard
you could make your own grass
look just as good
— or maybe even better.
The fact is
the grass is seldom greener
on the other side of the fence
but you’re welcome to see for yourself.
Just remember that when you come back
the gate just might be locked.
So you see,
the only time it’s really worth
crossing the fence
is if you’re living in a thistle patch.
So take a good look

Married filing jointly... definite advantage over filing separately = Tax advantage
Sick/Emergency... without the paper, your wishes are not considered. In the eyes of the law you are not able to speak for the welfare of the other, or make decisions for the other when they can't.

I believed her that I was doing something wrong or not enough, and even went to couples therapy and individual therapy to try to "fix" it - or at least figure it out. Of course, always being told I was wrong didn't do much for my willingness to do ever more for her - resentment kept increasing.

Well, I did figure it out eventually - I had been stupid or naive enough to pick the wrong woman to marry. The last therapist even said, Hell, there's nothing wrong with you that being with the right woman wouldn't fix!

I did find the right woman, and have been in my idea of an ideal relationship ever since.

A hollow apology is worthless.

Public schools need to stick to curriculum and not push the homosexual agenda.

One of the MOST ignorant things I've ever read--here or anywhere.
The 'homosexual agenda' is what, precisely?
People who believe that public schools have a 'homosexual agenda', and then homeschool their children because of their wrong-thinking, only perpetuate the ignorance and keep their own children dumbed down.

It is offensive... and hurtful and disgusting that a man (or woman for that matter) not give a reasonable amount of grieving period between losing their spouse and hooking up with a new f*ck.
It IS a reflection of how little he's valued the years he's had with his wife... who stood by him and bore his children... whether it was known for 10 years that she was dying or she dropped dead infront of him.

Mom advice: Forget this guy, move back home and go to college. You're only 18, your whole life is ahead of you, don't waste this time now on a loser boyfriend
