• Can a marriage survive an affair?

    No. It destroys the foundation of trust that is the basis of any good marriage.

    Yes. It's possible to save the marriage, but it takes a lot of tears, work and forgiveness.

    Possibly. I'm skeptical, but I think it depends on too many factors unique to each marriage to make a snap judgment.

    It alls depends on the who the couple. For some once trust has been violated, it is impossible to trust that person again.

    I think cheating is most painful, It breaks the trust you feel for your mate. If you truly love each other, make it work.

      My own marriage did not. Once that happens there is no trust. I could not go on without that.

        It totally depends on the marriage. Most people don't have many experiences to choose from either.

          No! You simply must divorce and clear out the cheating bastard's bank account!

          TRUST ISSUES WILL ALWAYS EXIST! AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, EVER, IF YOU STOP AND THINK AHEAD OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO LOSE!

          • Do women get skinny for other women?

            In TODAY's talk, Piers Morgan tells Hoda Kotb that he thinks women don't get skinny for men, but instead they get skinny for other women because they want other women to see how skinny they are. What do you think?

            I agree with Piers. Haven't you heard the saying that when men enter a bar they check out the women, but when women enter a bar they check out the competition?

            Sadly I think most women do it for both other women and men when we should be out there doing it for ourselves!

            "Most women" don't GET skinny! The AVERAGE sized woman in America is size 12-14 and are quite happy with themselves.

                    I actually dreamed that the wedding was called off. I woke with the greatest sense of relief! I should have listened to the inner voice..

                      I cried the whole way down the aisle with my dad. I knew that something wasn't right. I3 years later, I tried, we were divorced.

                                                    Working women nag their partners to feel more feminine and to retain control over a traditionally female role, according to a new study to be published in the journal Sex Roles. The study claims working women tell men to do specific chores in order to feel like they still fit within gender boundaries as head of the household. Do you agree?
