Watching my wife , who representitive of "my" genertion, (50+) while SHE is watching CNN.
No logic, no informed comment, no pertenant facts, will sway her from her little world.....

yes, there're options,....but we've been married 35yrs. & I'd give my life for hers' in a second.

My husband is not going any further than where he is right now. He's lazy, not just professionally, but personally and emotionally lazy.

Es tut mir Leid... nah.

[AlienGirl]

19. Your husband lacks will?

[UncleSepp]

23. Yes, it is the Flop of the Will

And the Defeat of the Faith, as well.

[DetroitProle]

29. this is your wife.

stop talking smack about me.

[Geo55]

32. Good advise ,...thanks

[DetroitProle]

38. I keed I keed

I hope you can sort things out though.

[Ksec]

31. Better not stay too long.

Youll get hooked and then youll start thinking crazy, like we do...

[seabeyond]

33. my husband was apolitical, until about a year or two yelling

about bushco and the repugs. then he started becoming informed. my world is a lot more easier now that i know he knows what is going on. he understands also why i spend so much time learning things.

it is hard all the people that have no desire or refuse to know what is happening in this world

35 years, you would die for her. live the good of who she is, and get your political discussion here at this board. i know it is hard, but there will be a time, and soon i believe, when there isnt going to be the crisis that we so need people like your wife to be informed, and then maybe things will settle down for you all

good luck, take care

[Geo55]

37. Thanks,

It's easy hangin' on this forum....but a WHOLE lot tougher in "real" life.

[AlienGirl]

34. Do you have friends you can lean on for a while?

I know you might not want to leave, but having other people to be with will at least give you a safe space to vent about it...

Tucker

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

36. Tuck... Read between the lines here.

[AlienGirl]

39. I thought I had, what am I missing?

I am as good at subtext as basketball...

[Geo55]

41. Basketball , you know....hoop,...basket.....in

[AlienGirl]

47. I'm 4'10"

[cynatnite]

35. sounds more like a marital problem than a political one...

if you feel alone after so many years of being married.

[dweller]

40. you're born alone

you'll die alone, but in between are the multitudes of possibilities.

and everyone changes, so what are you going to do to change yourself to sway her back into your world?

good luck Geo55.

[Geo55]

42. excellent response.....I....don't ....know

[dweller]

43. Love is never measured by how much you touch

but more by how often you reach.


for what it's worth,
dp

[Geo55]

44. true enough....thanks for the grounding

[RevolutionStartsNow]

45. My husband, the semi-Republican,

cracked up over the "Big Bowl of Bad" Cheney video. He's coming around.

[Geo55]

46. We can not give up on hope .....it's all we have

[RevolutionStartsNow]

49. Nope, I got love, and lots of other things too

But it amuses me that he is coming around, ever so slowly.
