The Divorce Blame Game
icon1 admin | icon2 Divorce | icon4 02 28th, 2010| icon3No Comments »

We all begin the divorce process convinced that everything is the other spouse’s fault. All of the pain is a direct result of their bad behavior. Your ex is acting in complete disregard for your feelings. If your ex would only behave the divorce would go more smoothly. That you might have a part in this mess doesn’t even occur to you. No, your spouse is to blame. He is one who cheated, lied, and betrayed you. How could you be responsible?

But when the dust settles you may start asking yourself some difficult questions. Was it really all your ex’s fault? Was there anything you might have done or not done that could have contributed to this divorce?

This is where it gets tough. No one likes to think that they were responsible in any way for the failure of their marriage. It just has to be your ex’s fault. Don’t you have that long list of sins?

How could anyone draw a different conclusion?

Chances are that in most ways you are right, and your ex is wrong. Some of his actions might seem unforgivable. So, after all of the stress, heartache, and pain, why bother to accept any blame?

If you look inward instead of outward, you will be able to take control. With this power you will emerge from your divorce with greater insight, and valuable lessons for any future relationship.

Protecting your credit before the divorce

A looming divorce can be stressful on anyone and in the heat of the moment people who once shared love and respect can do terrible hurtful things to each other. If care is not taken during this stressful time, divorcees can find themselves in hot water later on down the track, worse still it is possible that serious damage can be done to an individual’s credit rating. It is in your best interest to make sure that your credit and good name are protected before, during and after divorce. By taking a few precautionary steps, and having a solid understanding of the way your accounts work, before the divorce begins will mean that a recent divorcee wont have quite so many pieces to pick up after the divorce is over.Plan ahead and nip any chance of damage to your credit in the bud, before it gets serious.

Understanding Your Accounts

There are two main types of accounts. These are called individual and joint and we will address them in detail in the course of this article. One person owns an individual account and, in order to have the account, that person’s income, assets and credit file are used as a decider of whether the person is eligible. The lending institution does not factor the possibility of a partner into the person’s financial obligations or assets when deciding to give an applicant an individual credit account. What this essentially means is that the person who owns the account is responsible for the payment of the account, not a second party. This individual account will be noted in your credit history and never in your partners if they are not the holder of the individual account. Always research the situation because this is where things can get tricky. If you live in a community property state, all debts, regardless of their type, are included as joint responsibility while two people are married. This means that if you are married and your partner has an individual account on which a large debt is owed, even though you are not responsible for the debt, it becomes your responsibility anyway. Even worse, this debt will be included in your credit report, which can be damaging if your partner doesn’t pay it. An individual account can have its good points as well as bad. If you don’t work or have a very low income, it can be difficult to get credit because your income won’t support it. Some times, in this situation, the only way to get credit is to be included or include your partner on the account or start a joint account together.

Online dating has got to be one of the greatest ideas of all time. It fundamentally changes the way the people approach the business of finding a partner. Think about it. When people are selecting a partner, they follow a fairly standard procedure. First they do a brief visual inspection of everyone in their area, and reject all those that don’t meet their standards of appearance. Then they talk to the people that do meet their standards, hoping to find someone that they can connect with on some level. Online dating turns this entire process on its head.

When approaching dating through a bar or similar meat market, people are judged first on appearance, and then on personality. With online dating it is the other way around. It is really impossible to tell what someone looks like based on their online profile. Even if they are using a real picture they are bound to have picked the one that shows them at their best. The information available about people online dating is not visual, but instead related to their hobbies, their thoughts and ideas. What a beautiful way to approach the task of dating, by selecting people first for their dreams and aspirations, for their ideas, and then by their appearance.

I’m not saying that online dating will put an end to physical judgment. People are still going to judge based on physical characteristics. But the environment of online dating gives more weight to compatibility of thought, because it is possible to quickly scan the profiles of other online daters and find those with similar interests and hobbies. This gives those of us who wouldn’t stand a chance in the bar scene a bit more of an advantage. It also gives those of us with more esoteric hobbies and ideas a broader base of potential partners to choose form.

This is not the beginning of a new golden age, but I think online dating will be a little bit kinder to those of us that the traditional bar scene maligns.

Twenty years ago this spring, my husband Larry and I eloped in a frenzy of young love and passion. On that memorable day long ago, I never would’ve considered the fact that, despite our best efforts, we would not stay the same.

Not only has our appearance changed (don’t get me started!), but our opinions, habits and even our views of the world have evolved. Daily life has become such a laundry list of onerous chores that paying bills fells like relaxation by comparison.

Infertility, followed be a miscarriage, followed by 3 children in 2 years, a move to the big city all contributed to the neglect of our marriage in spite of our mutual devotion. It slowly occurred to me that real love is not something that happens to us, but something that requires a daily choice.

Marriage, like cars, need maintenance tune-ups and occasionally more major repairs. My husband and I decided to commit to spending more time together and to use that time efficiently. Problem was, we had no “extra” time. Like Anna Quindlen says, “Our days were like a cross between a decathalon and stations of the cross”.

When you love and care deeply for someone to whom you’re committed, you want to do whatever it takes to make sure that relationship remains stable and intact. There’s a lot of give and take involved in achieving such a balance. You have to make an earnest, daily effort to love, respect, understand and cherish your partner. On the other hand, you also want (and deserve) to be loved, respected and understood. Being able to air your thoughts and feelings and have them heard and appreciated is one way that many people experience that. Of course, no two people have the same communication style, so sometimes there’s a little extra work that needs to go into healthy communication, especially during times of conflict.

Two common reactions to conflict exist: the first is to become angry or passive aggressive, which can result in either an argument or one or both parties turning inward rather than vocalizing their feelings; the second common reaction is for both parties to want to settle the issue, whether it be right then and there, or after tempers have cooled. If each person has their own way of settling things, it can create a communication gap that can cause whole new disagreements to arise. In this case, each person could have their own goals, or both people could be looking at the same goal from very different angles. Through marriage counseling, Cary, NC residents, people can learn to bridge these gaps, developing healthier ways to settle disputes and communicate more efficiently.

Causes Of Divorce
icon1 admin | icon2 Divorce | icon4 02 26th, 2010| icon3No Comments »

Back in the old days in Mesopotamia, marriages do exist in a different form such that divorces were documented because they happen. Some causes of divorce at these times take account of adultery. Though since polygamy was a standard practice at these times we can only speculate the reasons for adultery in divorce.

While early forms of marriage and the causes of divorce did exist even in the cradle of civilization, the practice carried on until this century. The causes of divorce is still the same though recent additions to its grounds have made marriage a rather easy exercise that can be cast and shape and die at will, especially by those abusive and deceitful spouses.

The most abused option, the one most recognized and tarnished ground is the No Fault Divorce. The no fault divorce allows either party of the marriage to sue for a divorce with reasons like irreconcilable differences as the grounds. By reading the decree alone you can see a great deal on how such loopholes can be abused. For instance: a husband can file for a divorce without letting the wife know, citing irreconcilable differences. It would be approved and the wife will be forced out of the home and closed from all the family finances. Likewise an adulterer wife becomes pregnant in an affair, and before the husband can mount a legal action, she mounts her own divorce that will allow her to take a portion of the properties owned in marriage, custody plus child rearing expenses of the children, and a portion for herself from the spousal support. To combat such abuses, some state allow no fault divorces only after when the couple has been living apart for several years and have been in marriage for a set period of time.

The internet has provided us not only a lot of conveniences but also other venues in life for various kinds of things. The internet has given us the easy methods of study, research, work, fun, and even entertainment. And now, aside from these usual things found in and through the internet, we are also given more options on how we could make friends and meet new people. While online dating is already a bit common, there are other options to meet other people on the Web. One such example is the way we can meet couples through certain websites. These websites provide us the venue and method to meet other people as individual friends or as couple friends.

If you have a partner, a boyfriend, or a husband, then who says that you cannot continue to make friends? In fact, being part of a relationship provides you with all the more need to socialize and meet other people as a couple. If the common idea of being part of a couple is to limit yourselves within the confines of the couple relationship or the family, then, that is mistaken. People who are part of a relationship whether in a dating relationship or a married one must also be open to creating more lines of friendships with other couples and groups.

Falsely charging your spouse of having an adulterous affair could destroy your relationship and eventually completely lead to its collapse. Before dropping charges to your spouse, you have to make sure that you have a strong basis. As we all know, one of the core foundation of relationships is trust. Once trust is taken out, no matter how strong you have started with your relationship, it cannot endure time. Thus when it comes to this matter couples need to be very extra careful.

If you really desire to check out if your spouse is cheating on you, the most important step you can do is to check yourself first. According to Ruth Houston, founder of InfidelityAdvice.com and the author of “Is He Cheating on You?- 829 Telltale Signs.” There are particular points you can look at to examine if you are capable of judging if your spouse is really cheating on you. If you are the type of person who has the following personality your suspicions may turn out to be groundless:

* You are skeptical by nature * You have a natural distrust of the opposite sex * You have issues with jealousy * You are emotionally vulnerable * You suffer from low-self esteem * You are disturbed * You have an too active imagination
