My husband shows obvious signs of guilt after his affair. How should I react to this?

Many faithful spouses in an affair will freely admit that they would like to see their cheating spouse express guilt and remorse. There are many reasons for this. First, they want their spouse to feel many of the negative and painful emotions that they are now feeling because of her affair. They also believe that you deserve every guilty feeling that surfaces. And better yet, if he’s feeling really guilty, he might think twice before cheating again.

Still, when it comes to a spouse who is moping around the house and overcompensating for their guilt every day, it can start to wear on you. You may start to think that this display of guilt is a pose or an exaggeration. It is not uncommon for wives to have mixed feelings about all the blame. Someone might say, “I’ll be honest. I like that my husband is hurting after his affair. I like that he feels bad about it and thinks bad of himself. He deserves all these feelings. Because what I’ve been feeling hasn’t been either. a picnic in the park. But sometimes, his guilt seeps through the house. Don’t get me wrong. He should feel guilty. He used our family’s money to buy trips and gifts for this woman. He took money my kids could have used He lied to me, his mother and our children. He scuttled off like a little weasel. He continued to have sex with me throughout the affair. So yeah, he should be racked with guilt. But it’s almost painful to watch. He walks all slumped over and looks that he’s going to cry at any moment. I constantly catch him staring into space. If we go to a restaurant, he’ll order salad and water. that he doesn’t deserve anything else. He just had his birthday and he insisted that no one buy him any presents because he said that in he he was not serving. If our children try to show him affection, he will sometimes cry and say that he does not deserve his love. He spends money we don’t really have buying me guilt gifts. So I’m not quite sure how I feel about this. On one hand, he should feel guilty. On the other hand, it’s a pain to be around. At some point, he’s going to have to meet me as an equal if we’re going to save our marriage. And he acts like he can hardly bear to talk to me. How should I handle this?”

If you are in counseling, I would ask your counselor to take care of this. He or she will know the best way to deal with it. If you’re not in counseling, I highly recommend it because a man who feels this bad about himself is vulnerable to undesirable behaviors and actions. Not only that, but as you already mentioned, if he can’t focus on much else besides his guilt, it’s going to be hard to move on.

You’re right that some guilt is appropriate and healthy, but so much guilt that it becomes destructive isn’t ideal either. You can always try to have a conversation like “you don’t have to order salad and water. I know you feel guilty and I understand why. But going so far that we can’t have a family dinner isn’t helping anyone. It’s not good for our children seeing their father so depressed why don’t we explore counseling and see what we can do for our family to make it better it’s not helpful for any of us to feel this defeated all the time we need to address the issue and try to move forward in some healthy way for our family, but we won’t be able to if your guilt prevents you from thinking you deserve to participate.”

People sometimes ask me if this kind of guilt is legitimate or if the husband is just a pose. A lot of the time, it’s totally legit. Imagine if you were caught in this kind of lie. Imagine how embarrassed and embarrassed you would feel. Imagine how difficult it would be to look your children in the eye. This is what your husband is dealing with, and he has to do it in front of an audience. I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve it, but it can be a difficult situation for everyone.

Your guilt can sometimes improve as healing begins. As her husband sees that she could one day take responsibility and at least begin to make up for this colossal mistake, she can begin to settle down with the guilt. I often tell people that the best way to overcome this type of guilt is to become the spouse your family deserves. Yes, it’s normal to feel like the most deplorable person in the world after you get caught cheating. But when you stand up, face your mistake, willingly accept responsibility, and then do everything you can to make things right again, then that’s a good and honest first step. You can only sincerely fix it and then promise never to do it again. Most people realize this over time and the guilt subsides, although it usually never completely goes away.

No one took a knee, but a political controversy led to a boycott of the players fifty years ago

In light of the assassination of the man likely to become the next president of the United States, the man in the Oval Office declared a national day of mourning on June 9. Out of sadness and to share their respect for the assassinated senator, a group of players decided to boycott their games scheduled for that day.

Although such a situation sounds like something that could be happening in today’s sports world, when protests are frequent headlines, this case happened exactly fifty years ago. Robert Kennedy, the leading candidate to vote for president in the upcoming election, was assassinated on June 9, 1968.

As Johnson announced a national day or mourning, members of the Cincinnati Reds urged baseball officials to postpone the doubleheader scheduled for that day. Because his words fell on deaf ears, the players decided they were going to boycott the games.

The protest was led by a multiracial tandem, white pitcher Milt Pappas and African-American All-Star outfielder Vada Pinson. The two managed to get enough votes from their teammates to pass their idea of ​​staying in the clubhouse instead of going to the ballpark, as a statement on the assassination of the leading Democratic presidential candidate.

Like the front offices in the sports world today, Cincinnati executives expressed anger at the players’ refusal to participate in the games. General manager Bob Howsam was especially upset and asked captain Dave Bristol to find nine volunteers to play.

Future hitting king Pete Rose soon left the clubhouse glove in hand, along with Rookie of the Year Tommy Helms and starting pitcher Jim Maloney. Not long after that, the rest of the team showed up on the field and the games were played.

As hesitant as those players have been, the Reds jumped out to an eight-nil lead in the fourth inning. St. Louis rallied in the fifth, compiling ten runs of their own to win the first game 10-8.

The Cardinals built on that momentum into game two, leading six to one. Cincinnati, as the Cardinals had done in the opener, rallied in the fifth to tie the game.

Deadlocked for the next six frames, the score finally turned in a twelfth inning involving three future Hall of Famers. Left-hander Steve Carlton, in his third inning as the Cardinals’ reliever, allowed a leadoff single to Cincinnati first baseman Lee May.

Third baseman Tony Pérez reached on a fielder’s choice, but had to wait to advance because Carlton struck out catcher Johnny Bench. Pérez made it to second, and all the way to the plate, after shortstop Leo Cárdenas doubled him with the winning run.

Although the Reds managed to split up, Pete Rose might have wanted to stay in the clubhouse that day. The perennial .300 hitter managed just one hit in halves at the plate.

Vada Pinson, on the other hand, was probably glad she noticed his boycott. He went a combined four for ten with a home run and five RBIs during the twin bill.

Movie review – "The Challenger" – Fight for who you are

“The Challenger” opens with Jaden Miller (Kent Moran, “Listen to Your Heat”) making his morning run through the gritty streets of the Bronx. He then moves on to his job as a car mechanic, where a female customer belittles his abilities as a mechanic. That night, dejected, he arrives at his house to find an eviction notice on the door and spends the night sleeping in one of the cars in the garage where he works. Things aren’t working out for 24-year-old Jaden. Until he pays the rent, his mother Jada (S. Epatha Merkerson, “Law & Order”) stays at Aunt Regina’s (Natalie Carter) house and endures constant interruptions from her. This is a hilarious scene, much to the delight of the audience.

While cleaning his work coat, Jaden meets Duane (Michael Clarke Duncan – “The Green Mile”) and learns that he was once a legendary boxing trainer. Later, Duane confesses that one of his fighters threw a match and Duane had to back out and then opened a laundromat and a small boxing gym. Jaden finds out that one of his coworkers at the garage makes money boxing in club fights and looks for this way to get him and his mother back to his apartment. He approaches Duane to train him. Initially, Duane refuses, but upon learning Jaden’s last name, he agrees to work with him.

Most intriguing about the training regiment is the focus on boxing-specific techniques, things like foot placement, hip rotation, and how you unwind a punch for maximum power. While fascinating, this focus on preparing for a fight takes the audience away from the internal struggles and conflicts that Jaden faces. Namely, finding a way to support his mother, finding a way to win back his respect after being kicked out of a private school for fighting. There is also the fear of failure and of not being good enough. While these are presented in dialogue, the emotional fallout is left hanging and doesn’t fully play out. Jaden’s stoic expressions don’t give us those vulnerable moments that build a deep emotional attachment to his dilemma. We care about the result, but not so much about the person.

The fight scenes are spectacular and if the Mayweather-Pacquiao match had been that good, people would be demanding a rematch. The championship match, in particular, was brilliantly crafted and choreographed. There’s suspense, compelling character arcs, and riveting reversals that drive your seat of excitement. The initial rounds were almost complete and the subsequent rounds were compressed into highlights of damaging hits. This segment of the film was shot in four hours, the time allotted by arena officials. Therefore, the exhaustion and fatigue exhibited are probably real.

There are some amazing twists to this story, making it both moving and engaging. These are very well set up and advertised without being too obvious. The acting is top notch across the board, including the supporting actors. Michael Clarke Duncan’s performance in particular was rock solid and brought energy and direction to this crucial role. He had a backstory to tell and he delivered it with great sensitivity and empathy. This was Michael’s last role, as he died at the age of 54 and never saw his final work.

The relationship between mother and son required a delicate balance between protective love and determined purpose. S. Epatha Merkerson and Kent Moran beautifully express this aspect and each express their opposing views. Also, Kent Moran is to be commended for taking on such a physically demanding role while he served as director and lead actor. Kent trained for six months at Manny Pacquiao’s gym in Venice, California, preparing for the role of him.

Another actor who made this a worthy movie is Justin Hartley, Jaden’s opponent in the championship match. His overconfidence and his inflated ego nicely set up the challenge in dramatic terms and polarize our loyalties. The fact that he fights dirty adds to the dangers Jaden faces.

The production values ​​portray the Bronx location as a gritty underdog and it’s Jaden’s dedication that gives hope to its downtrodden residents. Giacomo Belletti’s camerawork keeps us in the mix, deftly moving to provide questions and answers about what will happen next. Composer Pinar Toprak’s score clearly provides the dramatic energy that guides us through this emotional journey. The edition by Anthony Muzzatti and Kent Moran articulates the struggles very well, the way out of poverty to support her mother.

This film goes further and shows that if we fight for who we are, we can become winners. Film reviewed at Dances with Film Festival, Hollywood.

Ness’s Notes (January 28)

I don’t know if any of you are the same age as me (or FEEL that old), but about FOUR decades ago, Joe Garagiola (I’m assuming he’s the same age if you remember!) wrote a book titled: “Baseball It’s a fun game.” Well, the NBA can also be quite ‘fun’. Consider this. The Nuggets entered last night’s home game with the Clippers on a seven-game winning streak and were 11-2 in January. Marcus Camby, the league’s top rebounder, had missed the team’s last 15 games (the Nuggets were 11-4 without him), but he was ready to return for last night’s game.

So what happens? The Nuggets are OUTSIDED 45-32 and lose, 105-87! Kobe should have been well rested after his 81-point game on Sunday, as the Lakers had a four-day rest before last night’s game with Golden State. However, the man who “never saw a shot he didn’t like or thought he couldn’t make” took just 12 shots in the first three quarters of the game last night! He made just TWO and entered the fourth quarter with a total of just FIVE points! Luckily for the Lakers (but NOT the L.A. punters), someone must have reminded Kobe of who he was, as he scored 25 points in the fourth quarter and overtime as the Lakers ran away with a no-cover win by 106-105.

My free game for Saturday is varsity hoops. Take Va Tech over Wake Forest at 3:00 ET. I have three HUGE plays from CBB on Saturday, my first LEGEND play in BKB since Jan 7th (LEGEND plays were 14-4 on FB season and are 3-1 so far on BKB season!) Plus two plays of 20 *. Since January 20, my 20* plays or more on CBB have gone 5-1 or 83% ATS, so don’t miss my 20* Big-10 GOY or my 20* Big-12 Total of the Year. NBA fans return at 9:00 ET.

The Artest/Peja deal sparked two big line ‘moves’ on Friday night. The Cavs were in Indiana last night to take on the Pacers. With Artest out for Peja (who wouldn’t play) and O’Neal out for up to eight weeks, Cleveland’s overnight line as a one-point favorite didn’t last long. The Cavs closed with a four point favorite and there were more than a few 4 1/2’s around. Final score? Cleveland for FOUR!

Artest made his Kings debut last night in Boston against the Celtics. The Celtics also had big trade news, as a seven-player trade with Minnesota had sent Davis and Blount to the T-wolves for Szczerbiak and Olowokandi. Boston opened as a four-point option in this one, but the game ‘closed out’ at about a ‘pick’, with the Kings even becoming favorites in places. Final score? Boston wins 84-74. Artest scored 15 points on 5-of-14 shooting.

On the surface, the Pistons are ONE team to count on these days, although Detroit bettors lost yesterday when the Pistons moved to 36-5 with a 95-89 win over the Grizzlies. Detroit became the THIRD team in the past 20 years to start with the same five players in EVERY of their first 41 games. The 1999-2000 Pacers did it and so did the 2002-03 Golden State Warriors.

An interesting contrast of those two teams shows this. The Pacers went 56-26 in the regular season that year, reaching the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Lakers (the first title for Shaq and Kobe). As for the Warriors, they went 38-44 in 2003, once again missing out on the postseason (they last made the playoffs in the 1993-94 season).

College basketball dominates the Saturday sports scene. ESPN and ESPN2 and ESPNU will combine to televise NINE games on Saturday, beginning with Cincinnati at Georgetown (ESPN2) and Kansas at Iowa State (ESPN) at noon ET. Saturday’s coverage ends with Texas at Oklahoma on ESPN2 at 9:00 ET. CBS springs into action with Arizona visiting North Carolina at 1:00 ET (Tar Heels are favored by 3 1/2 points with a total of 150).

This past Saturday’s action saw Duke, Florida and Pittsburgh lose, leaving us with no undefeated teams. Long winning streaks still intact, they are of the ‘homemade’ variety. Southern Illinois owns the country’s longest current home winning streak (33 straight), but the Salukis play Illinois State on Saturday. However, both Gonzaga and Illinois (each with 32 straight home wins) play home games on Saturday, with Gonzaga (a 19 1/2-point favorite) hosting 8-12 Portland and Illinois (a 22-point favorite) hosting 7 -11 Purdue.

Ness Notes is available Monday through Friday at 1:00 ET and Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 ET.

Adidas adiZero Pink 1.0 Versus adiZero Pink 1.5 – A Performance Review

Among all the signature shoes released by Adidas, the adiZero Rose is undoubtedly one of the most sought after and successful sneakers. Since its launch, it has spawned several models, including adiZero Rose 1.0, 1.5, and Crazy Light.

The reason behind the popularity of the shoes is their claim that they are the lightest basketball shoes ever created. Both the adiZero Rose 1.5 and its predecessor, the adiZero Rose 1.0, weigh 12.8 oz, while the new adiZero Crazy Light weighs 9.8 oz.

In terms of aesthetics and style, Derrick Rose’s first signature shoes feature a sleek and smooth look, making them wearable on the court and even off the court. From the side profile of the shoe, one can classify it as a low top supported by an ankle collar. Performance shoes feature signature branding of the NBA superstar on the tongue lace-up fastener, bearing the number one, Rose’s jersey number and Rose’s signature on the nameplate side of the shoe

In a fleeting glance, the shoes seem like too much to understand. Additionally, a PureMotion three-pod pattern can be seen on the soles of the shoe, while the popular Adidas signature three-stripes can be found on the heel sole of the shoe up to the top of the heel.

Regarding the performance of the adidas adiZero Rose 1.0, its lightness is the shoe’s advantage in playability and speed, especially when running. The design, support and weight of the shoe make it one of the best options when looking for quick movements and solid performances on the court. With several technologies present in adiZero Rose, it is easy to switch from one direction to another, as the shoes easily respond to the movements of the feet.

Even though the shoes weigh 12.8 oz, they still have exceptional stability. Adidas designed Derrick Rose’s signature shoes to support the weight and movement of its wearer. It also has a start-stop capability that prevents it from slipping when the user quickly changes direction from one side to the other. Finally, the Geofit ankle collar support system is useful for providing breathability and comfort, as well as protecting the ankles during the game.

Like its predecessor, the adiZero Rose 1.5 is a revolutionary addition to the world of performance footwear. Unlike most performance shoes, however, one thing is evident in the second installment of Derrick Rose’s signature shoes: they’re the fastest playing basketball shoes around. It is also useful for providing its wearer with a featherweight feel, thanks to its sock-like weight and great features.

When it comes to performance, the shoes prove to be effective in assisting in fast movements without any difficulty. When one goes from running to jumping, the flexibility of the shoe is evident. PureMotion technology in the outsole helps transition from jump to landing and full sprint.

With the strongest construction and efficient design, Sprint Frame technology supports the strength of the adiZero Rose 1.5 and gives you a solid foundation. In addition, a strip of patent leather stiffens the heel of the shoes, giving the wearer the ability to run and jump higher without being interfered with.

Also, the traction of Adidas adiZero Rose is generally based on PureMotion technology. The shoe’s grip is tight but not totally restrictive; therefore, the foot remains in its position and manages to make natural movements and transitions. Even if the upper part of the shoe features a suede outline, it does not overheat. This is due to the SprintSkin technology, which allows air to pass through the punctures of the shoes.

What is certain is that Adidas has managed to create two excellent performance shoes, which feature a lightweight formula and several technologies that greatly improve the breathability, comfort, traction and speed of the shoe.

Who was the favorite receiver for the Bengals Boomer Esiason?

The Cincinnati Bengals have had a checkered history over the years. They have experienced some very good seasons that saw them make Super Bowl appearances and go deep into the playoffs. They have also had some down years where they finished bottom of the league in terms of win-loss records.

One of the best quarterbacks the team had was Boomer Esiason. Esiason came out of college and made an immediate impact on the Bengals. He played with them for several years before moving to the New York Jets and eventually the Arizona Cardinals. He, too, would find his way back to Cincinnati before retiring from the league.

The Bengals with Boomer at quarterback were known as a passing team and put up good numbers. Together they also won some big games. Since then, he’s moved into the broadcast booth and has done great work on both television and radio, but who was Boomer Esiason’s favorite receiver during his NFL career?

No player caught more touchdown passes thrown by Boomer Esiason during his career than Bengals wide receiver Eddie Brown. Brown and Esiason teamed for 39 touchdowns during their time together as teammates. Some of those were also very memorable, especially for Bengals fans. This is less than ten ahead of the player in second place in that category.

Boomer’s Bengals were a fun team to watch and he was a great player. The team also had some very good receivers around him, and they also deserve some of the credit for Boomer’s strong career numbers.

I love NFL football! let me count the ways

As far as I’m concerned, there are two seasons in America (who cares what the weatherman says!). There is football season and off season. Then there’s everything else in between.

Why am I saying such a ridiculous thing?

Because I’m a die-hard soccer fan!

Heck, I love everything, as long as it involves an oblong-shaped ball, is played on a 120-yard long field, and involves blocking and tackling, I’m all for it.

But as long as I live, there will be never Let any game be as exciting and majestic as NFL Football. There’s a reason the National Football League is the most popular sport in the United States. Because it is the best!

But I know: you want to be convinced.

Good. I will convince you with three reasons.

1) Soccer fits our lifestyle. Don’t get me wrong, I like other sports too. But have you ever been watching a baseball or basketball game that started at 10pm? Look, I enjoy racing as much as the next one, but I have to go to work in the morning!

And I know Prime Time Football can be late too (for those of us on the East Coast), but at least most games are played on Sundays. And that’s the key, because most people don’t go to school or work on Sundays. Big win in my book.

2) The NFL exhibits The Game at its highest level. Look, I know there are a lot of people who will argue with me about Pro being better than College (yes, that’s an argument for another time). And that’s fine.

But no one can tell me that better athletic feats are on display every week than at The Football Field. The jaw-dropping sacks, crushing punches, and razor-sharp plays on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams of all kinds.

I have no idea how the Officers can receive most of your calls in real time. Even in super silly slow motion replays, it’s hard to tell if a player’s toes are touching the white stripe or not.

How can you not appreciate that athleticism?

3) every game is so important. The weekly build for Sunday is an incredible crescendo for Kickoff. And whether you’re talking Week 4 or Week 14, every game feels like a must-win affair.

Just think, when your favorite team falls 4 in a row, that means they haven’t won in a month! And because so few games are played, the importance and magnitude of that week’s ballgame is larger than life.

Okay, maybe it just feels that way to me.

And that’s the beauty of it. There really is nothing in the whole world like soccer.

You do not agree?

You can make your own baby food

Babies need lots of nutritious food to develop their brains and bodies. It is also necessary for building your immune systems. Once a baby reaches the age of six months, it is recommended that she start eating solid foods. By solid foods I mean soft foods. The easy method would be to buy jars of baby food, but who knows how many preservatives and other added ingredients are in those jars of food. If you want, you can make your own baby food.

Making baby food is not really difficult. It’s much simpler than you’d expect and there are many varieties you could do. All you need is a small pot and a blender; plus the ingredients, of course. So you can prepare it yourself. With baby food, you want the food to be as natural as possible. So only the vegetable and fruit will appear. No added salt, sugar or other additives.

Fruit-based baby foods can consist of one or several fruits. You can make banana puree as a sweet or you can make strawberry puree. For an interesting option, you can add the two together. Apples are also a great fruit to use. Peel the apple and cut into slices, then cook until soft. You can mash it with a fork or blend it.

With a vegetable-based porridge you can play with different options. You can cook sweet potato, potato, carrots or nutmeg. Using a blender, you can blend the potato with any of the aforementioned vegetables. Alternatively, you can blend and serve each vegetable separately.

You could also incorporate chicken into these meals. Be sure to cook the chicken breasts well before blending. You may need to add a bit of water or milk when mixing it to get it to a smooth consistency that your little one can digest.

A blender that offers high speed for blending fruits and vegetables to a smooth and smooth consistency would be the ideal catering equipment for preparing your little one’s meal. When you prepare the vegetables and fruits yourself, you know exactly what is in the food and what you are giving your child: healthy and natural food. If you have made too much baby food, you can store it in small food containers or ice cube trays and freeze it for another day.
