What, Exactly, Constitutes An Affair? – Yahoo! News

DEAR MARGO: I'm in an unusual (or perhaps not) situation. Some years ago, my husband had an online affair that lasted for two years. He set up an e-mail account that I did not know about and used it only to contact her. He told me he never had feelings for this woman and viewed what he was doing as a “game” rather than infidelity. He ended the affair on his own when the woman called him at work. I found out about the affair several months ago, when he began using the e-mail account again for something else entirely and left the account open on the computer. All the e-mails and pictures from six years ago were still there, so I saw everything. I confronted him and we just finished seven months of counseling.

— DEVASTATED WIFE

DEAR DEV: It is unfortunate that your friends and family even know about this, because now it is a subject for discussion — which I'm sure you could have lived without. In any case, there is a big debate going on about whether or not consummation is necessary for a situation such as yours to be considered an affair. I side with the group that says it is an affair. To me, the secrecy angle as much as the naked pictures and sexy talk constitutes a betrayal. If you feel you must respond to people who are trying to buck you up, simply invite them to put themselves in your place and then say, “Discussion closed.”

When “Normal” Swings into Abnormal

DEAR MARGO: I am a 23-year-old woman with an abnormal sexual appetite. I am currently dating five different men. I have one I refer to as “my pet” and one who is my “daddy.” Sex consumes most of my thoughts most of my days. What was a minor interest when I was younger is now an all-consuming monster. I feel deviant and abnormal. I want to seek help, but honestly, I don't know what kind of help I should be looking for. Are there specific therapists for this, or would a regular psychiatrist be able to help? And I wonder if this all stems from not having a father growing up. I just need help.

— ABERRANT AND HURTING

DEAR AB: The constructive part of your letter is that you know you need help. And yes, there are specific mental health professionals for your aberration, which is sex addiction. You can get a referral from your primary care doc, the American Psychiatric Association or the American Society of Addiction Medicine. There are also online support groups, which enable you to ask questions and also learn that you are not alone. As for your immersion in sex, it is seldom possible to pinpoint a single cause. I suspect growing up fatherless played a part in your dealings with men, but I can assure you that there are women who were raised as you were who are not “dating” five men and feeling as though sex is “an all-consuming monster.” With guidance, you can become emotionally healthy, and I wish you luck.

Heated Dog Beds & Outdoor Dog Beds

Dog beds form an important part of dog accessories and dog comfort. Also, they differ from dog to dog. Some dogs will just not like to sleep inside the house, and would prefer outdoor dog beds. While some dogs need heated dog beds if they are suffering from illness. Even if a dog does not have any specific sickness, the comfort they get out of a heated dog bed is tremendous.

Though heated dog beds may seem a comfort to many people, heated dog beds may be a necessity, depending on the area that you live. A dog bed is almost second home to a dog. Therefore, just like how people have heated homes in colder regions, dogs will need to have a heated dog bed in these areas. Heated dog beds do help in shielding your loved pet from a brutal winter. A heated dog bed therefore ensures that your loved pet dog stays warm during the day as well as night in the strong winters. Therefore, pet owners should invest in a heated dog bed depending on the circumstances they live in.

Harsh winters and comfort are not the only reasons that people may opt for heated dog beds. Heated dog beds are very good medical therapy for dogs with arthritis or any other illness of the bone and the joints. Heat works on pets just like how it works on humans. Therefore, heated dog beds are great for relieving a dog from the pain and stress of arthritis.

Of course, like also dog furniture and dog accessories, heated dog beds are available in a wide variety in the market, and you have to decide which the best type of heated dog bed for your pet dog is. For example, you may have to decide on the type of heated dog beds on various aspects of your pet dog like whether it is from a big or small breed, does it need and require any potty training, and does it bite into the dog bed and other furniture. The heat in the dog bed comes from an outlet and one should ensure that the dog should not bite at that outlet as it may be dangerous. Also, ensure that the cushions and other accessories you get with the dog bed are washable, in case your dog still requires some potty training.

Another excellent dog accessory is the outdoor dog bed. Though dogs are the first animals to be domesticated, they still like the outdoors as compared to the indoors. Therefore, outdoor dog beds are another good way to ensure that your dog has a comfortable and satisfying life. Outdoor dog beds are availabl
1000
e in all shapes and sizes and in all materials. Therefore, you can easily ensure that your dog connects with its outside life, while being the safe and comfortable confines of your home and its outdoor dog bed.

The internet is the best way to find out companies who manufacture and sell heated dog beds as well as outdoor dog beds. Every good heated dog bed and outdoor dog bed manufacturer will have their own website. Most will have their e-brochure on the website, which will give you more information about the heated dog bed and outdoor dog bed that you have been looking for.
