Hey, how I see it is, if they don't want advice, they don't have to read it :) Besides, that advice was pretty much word for word what my college Interpersonal Communication teacher told me, figured if wanted I'd pass the advice along. But that's the whole reason why I started it off the way I did.. If it's not wanted, don't bother listening, but if you need it, go for it.

But I guess it's kinda pointless offering advice in a forum of people who have worlds more experience/knowledge/wisdom than I do. So I apologize, and cease and desist.

Well, hrm. Okay. jimmysnyder tells comical "my wife" stories frequently with a sort-of Rodney Dangerfield, "I get no respect" flavour to them. :smile: They are, by and large, jokes. Jokes that reflect a certain era, actually. But anyway.

If you haven't read his posts before, you'd not be aware of that. I can see how, possibly, that appeared to be a cry for help, although his post did end with an explicit statement about his contentment with his overall situation. So.

Sorry to talk about you behind your back/in front of your face, jimmy.
