Now here's and intersting thread on my beloved IW.

I come from a day of mowing grass, trimming the bushes and trees, watering the yard, working in the garden, taking Karen out for Mother's Day, cleaning the floors, washing the dishes, folding half the laundry, painting part of a room, collecting leaves for the city to pick up, and taking a well-deserved long shower...and this is the first thread on IW that I read.

Stormy, as many have already implied...and I apologize for not reading every single post 100% thoroughly, because I am tired...we all have our own personal weaknesses. For some, it is porn, for some it is drug use, for some it is gambling...and we are all different. Instead of rebuking all men for one weakness that seems to be shared by alot of guys, try finding a way to help your beloved with his curse. Pay closer attention to the strengths he has and what he does right...and let him know you appreciate him for those strengths. Talk calmly about your hurt feelings over his particular weakness and offer to help him overcome it. If you want to classify him as a child, then do so as a mother that knows how to properly tutor her child in the right things of the world. Show support and always be there when needed. You can help in a loving way, or you can chastise with bitterness or hatred...and drive him away forever.

Choose.
