As we travel through life, many things happen, triumph and down fall, achievement and failure, they each meld into our core like the fabric squares of a patchwork quilt. Many of the wisest people I know discount their own wisdom. The things that shatter us into a million pieces always seem to leave us struggling, but these pieces are the mosaics of experience and wisdom, that when placed together, complete the wonderful masterpiece we are now.

This blog is about sharing yourself and your experiences with others that may be going through things that you yourself may already have conquered. If you are caught in a questionable situation, an empathetic, knowing ear could be a most welcomed gift. How did you make it through? Are you still struggling? What is your advice?

This support is priceless and we all have it to offer to one another freely. Anonymously or otherwise, please email me any subject/situation that you may be having a dilemma with or have questions on how to proceed. I will incorporate them into a story/post, ultimately letting the followers respond in kind to the question... What would you do?

I saw them together!

"He's cheating on her!" I told my husband, "It's none of your concern!" was his callous reply. Truth is, I didn't want to tell her, she had been through this before and I knew it would kill her, but to know and do nothing, that just seems wrong too. My husband has the attitude that since he is still taking care of her and the kids, treating her right and not "sleeping with multiple women",  I should respect the family unit and not disturb it. That makes me question his morals in the situation as well, is there a male code of ethics to keep this stuff hidden?



They always SEEM happy together, he dotes on her and she looks up to him and gushes when he is around, it's been ten years, I wonder what goes wrong in these unions. I now feel trapped and am uncomfortable even being around her alone, not to mention THEM as a family. I have made excuses for every invitation, surely she will start questioning my absence. My morals are screaming at me, I would want to know, maybe she does know and herself is trying to work through it with him. I keep getting no support from my husband on the issue as this is his best golfing buddy. He tells me he would be very upset at me if I choose to "step in". My friends are all mutually combined with this couple so sharing there, I feel, would be cold and uncaring. This is breaking me in two.

What would you do?
