Walk Off Grand Slam?

 

Dear Mrs. Figgins:

I think I got myself in a situation I’m not sure how to get out of or, possibly into.

I’m married with twins, a girl and a boy.   My wife Sandy takes my little girl to her after school activities, and I take my son to his little league practice.

One of my son’s friends Mom is always there at practice and we’ve gotten pretty close.   She’s married with 3 kids.

I’ve always thought Sandy and I had a good marriage, but now I’m not so sure?   The other woman and I have gotten close, and I think I’m falling for her.

Sparks are flying!  What should I do?

 

Dear Sparky:

Take a cold shower, and park that ego.

Your friend has her own family which includes 3 kids.   Those bases are already loaded, and you’re looking at a strike out.  

Get your wits about you before you lose your family.   Most importantly, before you selfishly affect your children’s lives.  

Invest more time and love into your marriage.   It will begin a cycle of giving and returning between you and your wife that will reignite your home field.

You have a son, a daughter, and by your own words a good marriage.  This is your walk off grand slam.

Mrs. Figgins
