Infidelity

June 26, 2008

A few weeks ago NY Magazine wrote an article about couples that cheat on one another. It felt like a stab in the heart to read, but I know full well how often it does happen. How would it make you feel if he did it to you or if you did it to him? Why does it happen? The pressures of everyday life?, Or do we just get bored? Or does our self-esteem need a boost? Are we just eager for more sex? I am sure it is a combination of all four, plus plain old “human nature’. I heard of a story the other day about a woman cheating on her husband. They have one child together and my friend said to me, I think it is a game for this particular women. She is bored going to the play ground every day and her “lover” makes her feel sexy again. The older and hopefully wiser I get, I have learned to not pass judgement on people’s behavior or decisions they make within the confines of their personal lives. However, the decision to build a family together is a big one- and suddenly there is a hell of a lot more to loose in the name of entertainment or ego gratification. If either partner strays and gets caught or decides to come clean ,ultimately the ones that get hurt the most are the ones we love the most, our children. Send me your thoughts- some people say the opposite- that affairs can help the individual recharge, or need less from their spouse, or simply feel better, and thus be better able to parent- though that seems hard for me to swallow.

Nourish yourself well this week.

Let’s try to be mindful of our environment this week. Here are my must haves and must dos for this week:

Help save our environment when you clean. Pick up all of Mrs. Myers Clean Day products(I am in love with these products, they smell amazing)Aromatherapeutic Household Cleaners that are green,cruelty-free, and not tested on animals.

“Growing Up Green!” volume two. This book is chock full of research and advice. This book makes it easy for you to introduce your child to the “living green” way of life. Available at most book stores or go to: www.simonsays.com

Finn Creations(Freedom is Natural Nirvana). Log onto www.finncreations.com for your hubby or boys for amazing artful designed t-shirts and hoodies. These designs are in search of freedom. There is a very powerful narration that accompanies each design. “Open yourself to an emotional and spiritual movement to find freedom”.I love not only the designs, but the messages too.
