My Question of the Day: Octavia cheats once on her husband, Claude, and she feels so horrible about it she never plans to do it again.  No one knows about the one-time meeting, and the man Octavia cheated with is killed in a freak car accident. Even though she has vowed not to ever cheat again, her one indiscretion gnaws away at her conscience day and night. She thinks that if she confesses to Claude what she’s done, and lets him know she’ll never do it again, she’ll feel better. Do you think Octavia should tell Claude about her affair?

My Question of the Day: Creshelle comes home from the doctor with good news for her husband, Thaddeus. After several years of trying, she lets Thad know they are going to have twins. Thad is elated and wants to call their parents and tell them the good news, especially his father who so badly wants a grandchild. Creshelle grabs Thad’s arm and asks him to wait. Creshelle says they should wait to tell anyone else until she starts to show signs of being pregnant, but Thad thinks they should tell everyone right now.

Who do you think is right?

My 2 Cents: Even though this is one of the questions I thought up, I still have a hard time answering it. I want to say Creshelle is right that they should wait, but I can appreciate the excitement of Thaddeus. I mean, this is their first child, and they’ve been trying for a long time. This is definitely one of those times when Creshelle and Thaddeus have to work together and come up with a solution they’ll both be happy with. I think, however, I’d have to say it’s best to wait until the first trimester has passed, but you all know I’m not a parent so it’s still hard for me to be certain about that.

My Question of the Day: Agatha, a stay-at-home mom, who devoted 20 years of her life as a military spouse until her husband retired a year ago, lives on the East Coast with her husband and children, loves her life and is smack, dab in the middle of the most comfortable routine that her life has had in years. She’s settled, has friends to hang out with and just loves not having to pack up and move to another of her husband’s duty stations after two or three years. She has also seen how the permanency of being in one place has settled her children, and they are thriving.

One day while planning her weekend, her husband, Edward, tells her he needs to talk with her about something very important. Edward goes on to explain how his parents are not doing very well on their own and he’s concerned for their safety. They live on the West Coast, so it takes a long time to get to them if something happens.

Agatha loves her in-laws, so she tells Edward that she’d be happy to have Edward’s parents move in with them. However, that’s not what Edward has in mind. He goes on to tell Agatha that the plan is for them to sell their home and re-establish themselves on the West Coast near his parents. Since they’re older and fragile, and need to be near the doctors and places they trust, Edward couldn’t convince his parents to move to the East Coast.

Edward tells Agatha that the final decision rests with her. He acknowledges all the sacrifices she made during his military career, and he also acknowledges that he knows she and their children have been very happy staying put and growing roots in their current community. He tells Agatha that she can decide whether they stay or go.

What should Agatha do?

My 2 Cents: Uh, no. There’s no way, if I were Agatha, that I’d let my husband put me in this position. He wouldn’t be going to my children telling them that it was my decision to move, and he wouldn’t be going to his parents telling them that it was my decision that they not move.

I’d tell him that as the man of the house, who for the last 20 years decided where we lived and when we moved, this is also his decision. I’d let him know I’d respect his choice, and support him 100% but I would not allow him to put me in this trick bag, especially if I never had a choice in all the previous moves.

My Question of the Day: You have been divorced for several years. One day, your former spouse asks to meet with you on an important matter. When you show up at the appointed time and place, your ex tells you that s/he would like to reconcile the marriage and get back together. What do you do?

My 2 Cents: Point blank and period — Tell him NO.

acmeek Been there. Done that!

Fem_Pru that’s a hard one. I don’t believe in divorce. It’s really “death do we part” for me. (guess that’s why I’m not married lol)

chela816 Hard to say. Depends on a lot: why we divorced, what’s been going on btwn us in those years, where I am in life now…

BLKMGK No, there was a reason for the divorce. In my experience, people never really change.

JoshDamage I myself couldn’t do it, under any circumstances
