How do you deal with guilt from past mistakes?

We Answered:

All you need to do is look at each experience and find why you feel guilty. If there is a way for you to correct your mistake then I would do so. If not then you should learn the lesson being taught and be mindful to never make the mistake again, & if ever faced with the same circumstances again- remember the consequences. By making the right decision in the future- these mistakes weren't made in vain.

But honestly- your list isn't bad at all compared to others lists. Just correct yourself and move on.

He needs to be taught a lesson! Should I be hard or soft??

We Answered:

you should definently go for the harsh way of punishment. he won't try to pull that same stunt if you thinks that any person he is talking to could be really a family member. if you embarrass him and then have the talk it is both ways rolled into one. guys at that age are hard headed and that is the only way to learn.

Husband and female coworker relationship inappropriate?

We Answered:

O.K. use that God given gift called.....intuition! This woman is meeting an emotional need..that he's not getting from you. It's not that you are unwilling to meet this need, he choose to allow it to be met by this other woman. Yes..you are on point with the excessive texting (especially at 2am), and the inviting over to her place to do lesson plans; all are poor boundaries. It's your husbands responsibilities to in-place and enforce these boundaries. There should not be a moment at anytime you should feel insecure!
Anytime you speak about this, he is going to minimize his behaviors and will deflect the issue back onto you. If he respected you and wasn't involved with this woman for his own selfish needs..he would want to honor you. Let's say the relationships is professional and innocent...but it looks bad; and for that reason alone he should end it.
My advice to you, set boundaries on what you will accept and what are the deal breakers and honor those boundaries.
If he can't hear you..then I would speak to her...Women to Women. Do this....(stay calm and be in control of your emotions) and say to her, I understand you and my husband have a professional relationship and I respect that. Though, I am uncomfortable with the excessive texting and invites to your home to do lesson plans." I have spoken to him about this, I was not OK with his response, so now I'm speaking to you." (Don't be specific in the time of text or when he got the invites..Don't get caught up in trying to convince her she's being inappropiate) b/c that isn't the issue...the issue is "being uncomfortable with the inappropiate boundaries" Listen to her repsonse, "She's going to try and reassure you by saying, "It's nothing, it's only professional." After her response, say to her, "I hear you, but do you hear me?" And she going to say, "yes." Then you ask her, "Can you respect what I'm asking.?" She should say, "yes." Then say, "thank you" and walk off. Sit back and watch the fall out and red flags. If it gets back to your husband, don't explain yourself. The less you say is better. You can respond with this, "I tried talking to you about this, I "feel" the behavior between the two of you is inappriopatie and what are you going to do to make it appropiate." Use the word "feel" b/c it's a non-threatening word, he can't tell you how you feel is wrong nor can he control how you feel. I hope, I'ved helped..I've enjoyed responding....OleCoop

Harry Said:

Friendship Sunday school craft?

We Answered:

Hmm, you didn't say what supplies you *do* have. Maybe you could take some colored poster paper and make a poster of a "friendship tree" where you make the trunk and pre-cut a bunch of leaf shapes, and then have the kids write on the "leaves" (with help, I suppose) words that mean friendship or qualities that friends have, especially Jonathan and David. Then you, or they, could stick all the kids' leaves onto the tree. Sort of a group endeavor.
Have fun and God bless.
