I am upset that my husband emailed a long-time friend who he hasnt contacted in years.. saying that his wife left him and the kids?

No you are certainly not wrong to be upset and I would not let it go any further, you should let not only your husband but you should have him call this guy and tell the truth. Maybe your huband thought there was no chance of you and him meeting face to face with this guy and just wanted to make him feel better. However there is no way I would allow someone no matter who he is to destroy my good name by turning you into some worthless wife, who is heartless enough to not only walk out on your husband but to leave your children behind as well.

I don't suggest fighting just simply explain how hurt you are that he felt the need to make you the worse kind of woman, even if it is to a man you will never see.

I think your husband was wrong in doing what he did but that being said I have another thought on this issue. Your husband was probably upset that his friend suggested you get a divorce. In his mind he probably saw that as showing "more than friendly" interest in you.

I'm thinking your husband was jealous and wanted to see his friend's reaction to the news that you divorced him. He was probably waiting to see if his friend made a "move" for you. Sounds a bit crazy, but I've seen it happen before.

Only you can decide whether you want to remain in this relationship and how you will handle it from here out but, my suggestion is that you and he should seek out marriage counseling together and perhaps even individually. It appears there may be some unresolved issues and this can only lead to more problems down the line. I am 1 credit hour away from my Master of Science in Family Counseling.

I wish you the best of luck and hope you find a good counselor to work with soon.

Wishing you good luck this is a tricky one...!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
