Over the past 14 years 1 have encountered the same problem Lime and time again and have been unable to escape it. It s the senior males that i work around. I might add i have no trouble with men Between 23 and so it s the old geezers 60 and Over who continue to harass me. U always starts with a Friendly greeting. The next thing is they want to put their arms around me for a Little hug or they Plant a kiss on my Cheek i Don myself As Overly Friendly nor do i encourage this Type Obe Havir but it persists. The minute i confront these men they say i did t mean anything. I think of you As a leaves me feeling like a fool. I am beginning to get paranoid. Is this situation unique to me or do Many women have this problem it s becoming a joke among my friends How the old men and dogs just love me and want to follow me Home. Also How do i discourage this behaviour before 11 gels started Paducah by. De Paducah i suggest Mil Yon pay a Little closer attention to the Way Job interact with the old Geurs. Do you stand of close is there Loo much Small talk Are you Loo informal what to the a Jour of Jour non by Ines conversation perhaps without realizing it you re inviting extensive wonderfully Wise father used to say if you Don t bang out the Welcome sign nobody is going to Moie wife found happiness through self Worth we heard from the Young lady who was deceived by a married Soldier. We heard from n Young Soldier. Now let s hear it from someone Over the Hill. I am a 39-Ycar-Oid Mother of three married to a career army officer. I married at 24, was head Over heels in love with Ray husband and idealized what his love and our marriage would do for my life. My Hus band made me Happy we Hud three children and divorce was something that happened to other people who lacked the character to sustain a relationship. My idealistic marriage and my views about divorced people were shattered when my 36-year-old husband of 11 years had an affair with a 21-year-old Secretary who worked with him. I quickly forgave him and thought we would rebuild our life. Wrong Aguinol i kept hoping for reconciliation White be continued to see the Young woman. He was transferred to Germany about a year later bul 1 remained in the Stales with the children and tried to sell our Home. After nearly a year the Home still had not sold so i decided to come to Germany. During this year of separation i improved myself so that my husband would be Happy with me Anu would no longer feel the need to stray. 1 convinced myself that my husband had seen the Light Felt remorse for his affair and was ready to rebuild our marriage. A week after Landing in Germany i discovered him of be deeply involved with a 47-year-old woman t had just Cut All of my ties with civilization before coming to Germany and i was t in the mood to turn right around and go Back. Besides that How does one pack up and leave when one does not even have All of her things or even know How to Call the airline. I remained in Germany still thinking that my husband might see the Light and Slop his affair. When thai did t work i found myself trying to manipulate him into Slop Ping his affair. I used All of the angles you know he was. Jeopardizing his career the children the example he was setting for his soldiers my love was better than that of his Girlfriend tic. None of it worked. I knew my husband was still seeing this woman but was oblivious to the fact that he started seeing yet another woman i discovered lady number three about eight months later. Lei me sum up my Story by saying that 1 know heartache _ _ " Here Are Tel reason was that j our marriage. My identity had become attached to being a wife and a Mother. I lacked the self Cost com to value myself and needed him to value me 1 depended on my husband to make me Happy and t needed him in my life. 1 tried everything to hang on to him. I offer my experiences in coping with this crushing blow in my life As a seed of Wisdom and Hope. I Hope Why did t i leave my husband Long ago the Many reasons but probably the biggest a i had built my life around him Ana our marring that a 16-year-old or 1 year old will Plant the seed in his or her life that in will sprout and then grow to full Bloom. When my husband told me he was in love with someone else my world crashed. I stood helpless As another woman ripped my guts open and stole my source of happiness. I was plunged into a pit deeper and Darker than any i had known Frozen in a body that was now just an empty Shell. I Felt As empty As a 50-gallon drum standing alone in blackness no escape in sight i hoped to escape the darkness by crawling inside of that hollow Shell that looked like me. I rallied around inside of that Shell far a Long time seeking Comfort and love and screaming in agony that Only i could hear. One Day stopped screaming and started exploring the hollow Shell. I found a Gem hid Den where no one except me could find it. The Gem was inside of my own heart. The Gem was peace and happiness ii had my name written on it. The Gem had been placed there by god himself. I have experienced pain in my life but because of that pain i was forced to crawl within myself. Only Here could 1 discover genuine happiness happiness that does not depend on the love from another human being but happiness that comes freely from my own heart. I found happiness thai comes from knowing my own self Worth a Worth that is not determined by the acceptance of another human but Worth that comes from a supreme being who made me special just be cause he wanted to. I found happiness thai comes from a love deep within my heart a love that satisfies my soul As no human love can satisfy a love thai comes from god himself. I still love my husband but know that i must re move myself from these circumstances. Al 39 years old i finally have the tools to Deal with my own life with out depending on him to make me Happy. I am sorry that it took a failed marriage to Lead me to thai discovery. To the Young lady and to lonely Young soldiers i say discover the Gem of your own self Worth. Enjoy the love of another human bul Don depend on it for happiness. Discover the love that satisfies at human love cannot satisfy. To my husband 1 say thanks for helping me to Dis cover a Gem that was hidden in my life ii is yours to share when you discover ils secret.
