For WOMEN ONLY!

[SDG]

The worst scenario is the last ... I know two pastors that have had this happen to them ... this has to hurt the ego immensely whether you are are male or female.

[AmazingGrace]

Well I can answer 2 of those... The long term affair and the prostitutes... neither is an easy road... He had been with his high school sweetheart off and on since high school and she was married and he was married to me! He also had many prostitutes over a matter of years... no he wasnt no rich man who paid thousands of dollars for them so when I found out yep... almost as huge of an ick factor as it would have been to find out he was gay..

The prostitutes happened when he was overseas all the time and its just sickening still to think of...

Hardest part was telling the pastor of the upc church he was choir director at and then telling the choir why he wasnt going to show up for choir practice that Sunday afternoon!

Am I over the bag of dirt.. yep and so glad God gave me the awesome man he has!!!

You will in Gods timing Dan and I do have to say I know how hard those words are to hear! I wanted to strangle people when they would say them myself. It is true and you have wonderful children that God will provide someone to help you raise them in a Godly family home,,, just be patient with Him

If politics are the dream, then what's to stop her from being in the political arena?

As for being a pastor's wife, well, that may be over and done with, but there are many places to apply that experience in a different way.

I don't see how it's the End.

...or, do you mean as the ex-husband's source of income?

Well, I tend to think that survival (such as having food to eat and a safe place to live) might take priority over having to think about the loss of a husband the wife only thought she knew.

Not all women are Hillary Clintons. Many politicians and ministers' wives gave up all career aspirations to help their spouses get into political office or build a church. When the husband's thrown out of his position, the wife is not only losing her husband but the only means of support she has known most of her life.

Being over 50 is pretty old to be starting over at a minimum wage job at Walmart. Maybe she can manage to parlay her experience into a higher paying job but she would have to do so at the same time she is dealing with the pain of losing her husband.

A mighty tall order for a woman who may never have been in the working world as most of us know it.

For most ordinary guys, who are not rich, famous or movie star handsome, it's not really about how attractive the other woman is, It is about how much she makes you feel valued. It's the strongest need of all men: the need to have value.

Gee. That's a tough question.
That's like asking...How would you prefer to be killed?

A...shot in the head
B.. stabbed in the heart, or
C.. thrown off a 15 story building?

Honestly, I just cant decide.



(Sorry. I know the question was for women only, but I couldn't resist. Y'all forgive me.)

I prefer to go up in the Rapture, but if I had to choose one of those, I would say which ever is the fastest and least painful!
