A Eulogy For Father

Improved Essays
Hello Dar,
I’ve been thinking about this post for a long time… Your mother is correct, it is complicated. But your view of this situation is also very understanding. Being able to understand it’s not just a simple black and white thing, and how there are grey areas, shows on your behalf of someone who isn’t hard lined in their own views.
- No children that’s the kicker. …It should be fairly easy to remove himself from the marriage.
- Financial - unless he is somehow financially invested into his current wife, such as joint property, stocks, bonds and etc.
If neither of those two things are involved, I see no reason for why he is still with her…unless. He is in love with both women. This happens when both women combine to make the perfect

This man was able to connect with he like no other person has ever. It’s not because of lack of trying, it’s that once in a lifetime connection you end up comparing everyone else to and you find they don’t come remotely close.
I sit back and think of my own life experiences. Francine was someone who I loved whole heartedly…nothing compared…for the most part, still. I dated others but Fran was that person I compared everyone else to. So, these ladies didn’t have a chance because my heart and mind was consumed… It took over ten whole years to move on but even today when we talk on occasion its like…man.

Now, let’s rewind almost eight years ago now… there were two women which I deciding on to marry…my current wife or this other woman. The other woman’s parents intervened for whatever reason and said no, don’t be involved with him. Long story short, we spent merely week together and eight years later, she will not date anyone else. If I wanted to be grimy, she would meet me anywhere in the world just to be together for a night or two. I’ve gone as far to help her find someone else to be with, however, she refuses because I’m the only one she loves. I’m not her first, but very well could be her

    The president of Alert Realty Company was asked by one of his salesmen’s wives to require her husband to go to a marriage counselor, one that the company donates to. Dan O’Brien, the husband, has not been doing as well as he has in the past according to his sales, so this marital problem could be affecting his work. The problem is if the president can intervene within this personal affair or not because it could be affecting his work, and the company’s sales. The first course of action that could be taken would be to have a meeting with Dan O’Brien stating that he will be required to go to the Community Marital Relations Center to not only help with his marriage, but to help him get back on track to becoming the number one salesmen in the company again. The pro with this course of action is that this could be the reason Dan’s numbers are going down and that could help with his sales numbers to increase, which would help the overall company.…

    I shouldn't have worried about her loving Tom in the past and trying to make her confess that she didn't. She meant everything to me, but I was blind throughout my life and had this thought in my head that told me I wasn't good enough for her, as why would she look at a poor army soldier with no home when there were rich men lining up at her front door? But now I see that having a good heart, honesty…

    After reviewing The Ethicist on the New York Times website there were many ethical dilemmas to choose from and not very many that I could relate to but ones that could be easily understood. It wasn’t easy choosing a single Dilemma but the one I would most like to discuss is “My Wife Wants to Adopt. When Do I Tell Her I Won’t?” In a marriage I think it’s wrong to keep a secret like this and is there a reason no man would ever want kids after marrying someone? It doesn’t make any sense to me.…

She mentions that Cinderella is a story that could have potentially been true, because often children of first marriages were a threat to the stepfamily obtaining the wealth of the family after a parent’s death.…
