Resources on relationship recovery

You may have noticed that we've branched out into several blogs on different platforms. Moving forward they will not necessarily contain identical posts. All we be about recovering from a relationship with Galen P. Sanderson.

Galen is not living in God's will

So our mutual minister friend calls me and says, "Galen is not living in God's will".

What am I supposed to do about that? How can I have any impact on whether or not Galen Sanderson is listening to God?

Which made me wonder if I am doing what God would have me do.

To which our minister friend responded, "If you are loving your children, living for the Lord, honestly working your AdvoCare business, and serving your God and your neighbors than you ARE living in God's will."

Well Amen to that.

And he further instructed that there is nothing which I can do for Galen except pray for him to heed God's will and get out of his sinful relationship.

Men and directions

Bumper Sticker: Someday your prince will come. Mine got lost took a wrong turn and is too stubborn to ask for directions.

Ha! That just about says it all. Prince Charming, well, I'm done kissing frogs so he isn't arriving that way.

But if he gets lost I can just forget it. He'll never find his way back home.

Men are like baseball bats. Not terribly useful unless you want to play with the balls or beat the crap out of something. Otherwise they just take up space and look useless!

Is your guy destined to be a cheater?

Men who are afraid of being alone are 11 times more likely to cheat and to lie. Anyone who, like Galen Sanderson, is afraid of being alone will start their next relationship while keeping their previous relationship hanging on a thread with lies.

If your spouse or significant other is needy, clutchy, clingy; then he may be a man who is afraid of being alone. Men who fear not having someone to hang on to will hang on to 2 or more women to prevent the unthinkable of being alone.

The way to avoid finding yourself in a relationship with a needy man who will be a cheater is to analyze your date early on. Does he call you 23 times per day? Does he show up unannounced at your home or work repeatedly? Does he feel the need to go around introducing himself to everyone you know or work with or socialize with as "your boyfriend"?

Galen did this early on but I didn't recognize the warning signs.

What to do about a cheater...

One especially irate reader contacted me and asked what she could do about her lying and cheating husband.

Here are the recourses that I can/could/have/should take with Galen.

1. Sue the girlfriend for abandonment of affection (as can her husband sue Galen)

2. Make a sworn statement to her husband's attorney about the length of their affair to aid in hus child custody and support suits

3. Blog!

4. Contact the other party as he/she may not know that her new partner is previously committed

5. Prevent your mutual children from having any contact with the cheating partner

6. Seek therapy and counseling

7. Involve religious parties

8. Contact the employers

9. Contact the authorities

This is just a good getting started list. I probably should have reached out to Galen's mother, Carole Sanderson, and his ex-wife, Samantha.

Galen's oldest son Ryan is getting married this weekend. I hope HE has enough sense not be settling down with a bi-sexual adulterous like Galen has. But then his ex wife always said he wasn't very bright.
