HE'S CONFUSED?
[Read the article: My husband of 12 years suddenly says he never loved me]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Let me get this straight: Five kids later, including one that is 2 weeks old, and he's making confessions that he should've left a long time ago - or maybe not have married you at all?
Oh, okay. The guy is seeing someone else. Men are not this complex. I'll say it again: Men are not this complex. I'm sorry to put it so bluntly because a person's first impulse is to feel that such a simple statement further invalidates you and your children. You may think that he was okay a few weeks ago, but don't be so sure.
He will try to confuse you, play upon your emotions and try to render you helpless to keep you off-balanced and less likely to start acting legally against him until he can get what and where he wants first. I would NOT try to talk him out of leaving because I think it will only prolong the inevitable.
Let's face it, having 5 kids is overwhelming, and it would be hard to keep one's identity through all this child-rearing. Who wouldn't want to escape from time-to-time? However, this sounds more problematic to me than just figuring out that the two of you need a "date night out."
Get an attorney as Mr. Carey advised. Make sure your economics are covered. And tell him that you are taking everything because you will need everything for the kids. Suggest he get counseling. And confront him about having an affair. He won't admit it, but atleast he'll know that you know.

OH GREAT
[Read the article: Stop the mommy madness]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You know, until this generation of women started having kids nobody ever had any! I'm so sick of J-Lo's "bump," and this one's bump and that one's bump. What the hell is a "bump?"
Its a freakin baby, and yet the media can't trash it and trivialize it enough, can they? And who buys into it? Guess.
See, it's not about having a baby. It's about selling yet something else to this new group of woman who think feminism is a credit card in your own name to go buy another push-up bra at Victoria's Secret.
I've seen how these woman are raising, or rather not, their children. How after they are born these mothers are just so overwhelmed. Never before has there been such a wide amount of information and products to make parenting more convenient or effective or whatever it does. And maybe that's the problem: Too many choices.
A baby needs to be fed, kept clean, warm, socialized with a real person and not the TV, eventually educated, and raised to be a somewhat caring, contributing member of society. There are but three rules that every parent should tell their children:
1. You do everything that I tell you to do...why?... because I would never ask you to do anything that you didn't need to do in order to become the best person you can be and make us and yourself proud.
2. You do none of that which I tell you not to do...why?...because as your parent it's my responsibility to make sure you understand the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
3. We are the center of your universe - you orbit off us; You are not the center of our universe and we do not orbit off you.

Still Matter?
[Read the article: Does Madonna still matter?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]To whom?
Sorry, but even Madonna has to now succumb to what the rest of us knew all along: She's old. She might look good, but hey, she can afford to look good. But she can't empty her head of over 30 years of experience, learning, exposure to the world, etc. - and no one wants to pay to hear her "preach."

WHAT IS IT ABOUT PAYBACK
[Read the article: Obama "outraged" by Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]THAT YOU AND THE REST OF THE PUNDITS DON'T GET?
Typical of your impulsive judgment, you see and hear only what you want to see and hear.
Would you change your mind about this sad and angry Obama if you knew that his anger was mostly because he knew that Wright surfacing at this time was a direct result of Obama's little speech in Philadelphia. And gee whiz! We thought Obama was saying kind words about the guy, right? Or was he? I mean, Obama said he could no longer disavow the guy than he could his grandmother. Bullshit! He disavowed a long time ago, and Wright knew it and so did Obama when he spoke it.
Obama threw the guy under the bus the night before he announced he was running for President. He knew Wright was problematic from the get-go. Obama was being asked as far back as atleast December about some of Wright's sermons. He ignored it.
The Obama campaign has not been forthcoming or honest about so much, it's hard to start itemizing it. Obama was pissed - again - because this clown was jeopardizing his nomination. Tough.
SO, I'LL ASK AGAIN: WHAT IS IT ABOUT PAYBACK THAT YOU AND THE REST OF THE MEDIA DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS MESS?
