well simply said I wld have to agree. I wasnt happy with my husband of 13 years and we have 2 children. I woke up one day and said to myself that's it no more. Spoke to him that night we went for a walk on the beach and told him I havent been happy for a long time and I wanted out of the marriage . we now share the children 50-50 and my life has never been better. I have found myself again and grown so much as a parent and a person since then. I would recommend it to anyone who is not happy. I was so unhappy I had migraines that were killing me slowly. A week after seperation, gone. Life is way too short to be unhappy. we were never meant to spend one whole lifetime with just one person. We are meant to have many lives in our one life and its only up to you to do something about it, noone else can for you. Be brave be strong and dont look back, look forward to a brighter happier future :-)

Well I dare say that Jumping jacks is much like skipping rope yeah? so find out how long you skip rope for then converge it on an exercise calorie burning calculator (google). good luck with that. there are alot of better ways to exercise than just doing 500 jumping jacks. :-)

Life is not a dress rehearsal, its way too short to let a love like that go by the way side. If its meant to be it will be.

Unfortunately that is their "shit" and good on you for trying and I m sure those around you that love you know you meant well, perhaps this is a sign though that you need to keep a distance whilst this controlling is going on. Best for your sake to just sit back and watch it all unfold, and perhaps not get involved in their messed up head space hun :-)
