Pride Goeth

     Direct Answers - Cavalcade for the anniversary of November 25, 2002

    My admirer s babe (I ll alarm her Mary) got affiliated six months ago. She is 19 and pregnant. My admirer (I ll alarm him John) didn t go to the marriage be cause he banned of her bedmate and the marriage .

    The cause he gave for not accessory was it would create him a actor in foreground of his additional accouchement if he went. This acquired a huge breach amid John and Mary, and they accept not announced back the wedding. Afore this they were actual close, talking about every day.

    Mary s babyish is due any day now. I told Mary it would be a abashment not to acquiesce her babyish a adventitious to understand its grandfather. She said John could see the babyish if he wanted, but she is afraid to create the first move.

    I talked to John this morning and told him I anticipate they are both adamant as donkeys. John is close on his stance, adage it is a amount of principle. He says by not compromising he is able to beddy-bye at night. I am not abiding John is using the appellation "principle" correctly, back I don t accept what assumption this involves.

    The concordance defines a assumption as a aphorism of conduct, or something which is important. In my assessment establishing advice with Mary wouldn t accommodation his principles, back it seems his cold was not alienating his babe but boycotting the wedding. Is there some assumption complex here?

    Trina

    Trina, if you are a parent, all you can do is get your accouchement to a assertive point. Afterwards that they are on their own. Parents are not like pear trees, putting out alone pear seeds. Bodies are chargeless to chase a altered course. Wisely or not, Mary can adjudge who she marries.

    She affiliated a man John dislikes, and she is pregnant. That s a fact, not a principle. As a parent, John punished Mary by not accessory the wedding. It was a acrid punishment. Girls dream of walking down the alley on their ancestor s arm, and Mary has no marriage pictures with her dad in them.

    After you abuse a child, you move on. You don t abuse them afresh and afresh for the aforementioned offense. Whatever John s pride appropriate should accept been satisfied. All the blow is revenge. The alone assumption actuality is anger. John is affronted his ascendancy over Mary was undermined.

    For the account of vanity he is accessible to make a abiding breach in the family. On birthdays, holidays and additional occasions the ancestors won t be calm as a unit, and in a abbreviate time, the repercussions of his accomplishments may be too far avant-garde to reverse.

    If John cannot behave himself about Mary and her husband, it is best not to be about them. But the assumption he violates is agreement pride aloft love.

    Looking Forward

    I am complex in a accord for the accomplished seven years. Afresh I asked my accomplice what his approaching affairs are for us. His acknowledgment was, "I don t know." Am I crumbling my time?

    Nadine

    Nadine, if you accept to access the affair of alliance so gingerly, you already understand the answer. If your accomplice capital to create things permanent, you wouldn t charge to ask.

    It s harder to airing abroad from a bank table if you ve been losing. You byitself wish to win aback what you ve lost. You absent three years, then four, and now seven. It s time to airing away.

    He s had the benefits, and you ve taken the loss. He hasn t accustomed you the one affair you want. Affairs are he has accepted for a continued time he doesn t wish to create you his wife.

    You will apprentice a assignment if you end this accord on your own terms. You will accept abstruse not to let things annoyance on with anyone who doesn t accept those animosity which add up to marriage.
