I think the saying goes soemthing like "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"

Indeed.
There is the possibility that more damage can be done by people who think they can do first aid.

In this situation, which is what I was talking about when I said you couldn't make matters any worse, any attempt to get the child breathing and his heart beating would be better than doing nothing. Where CPR is concerned a little knowledge is sometimes all that is needed to save a life or preserve it until professionals can arrive.

It has now been six minutes. There is no way of finding the child expect by luck. Without oxygen we die, even for a short time, our brain starts to die.

In that particular situation it might well have been too late but there have been people revived with no after effects having spent far longer under water. This is particularly true for immersion in cold water which reduces the bodies need for oxygen.
In a rescue situation if you are (safely) able to try to resuscitate a drowning victim do it, don’t just assume that it is too late. You can’t make things any worse!
In a situation like this emotions are running high but it is wrong to apportion blame. The child is dead and nothing will change that, those responsible are going to have a hard enough time. These “officers” are out on a limb and can only do what they are told. They have very little training, hardly any powers and little respect from the majority of police officers and some members of the public. Putting a uniform on someone doesn’t give them the knowledge, experience or training necessary to react properly in a life or death situation. We should have more fully trained police officers on the streets given the powers to deal with today’s problems.
Gordon Brown is making some positive noises about redressing the balance where crime concerned. I’d like to think that some of his ideas will be implemented but will believe it when I see it.

I am turned on by any music that reminds me of good experiences. "That'll be the day" album when I was clumsily fumbling with a string of my younger sisters friends when I was a very young man. All Ultravox songs being played by Katrina when we met in Benidorm.
OOps up side yer head!!!!......I know, Liz has a lot to answer for. The list goes on.
Cheers, Eltigre

Where have you gone, surely that can't be you
What happened the wonderful woman I once knew.
You don't listen anymore or choose not to hear
I try to get close but you won't let me near
Another awful headache, another hectic day
endless excuses used to push me away
It crept up so slowly I was caught unawares
Weeks turned to months and months into years
Now I feel it's too late to put things right
So, to bed with my wife, alone again tonight.
Sorry, this should have gone in the poetry section. Could someone pop it in there please.

I should have read the definition of swinging in the terminology section before posting.
"Swinging can and often does lead to long lasting friendships, because it is very social and open, with no need for any deceit. Anyone who equates Swinging with having an affair really could not be more wrong."
I apologise to anyone I might have offended by suggesting that in my case the least damaging, though certainly more deceitful course of action would be to meet with someone without my wifes knowledge. In my first post I asked if I was in the right place, looks like I’m not.

Does she know you're on here and looking?

No, she's in be watching Hero's! smile

Does she know you've joined then?
No, she wouldn't be too happy about it. I am hoping to solve the problem without her knowing.
Ah right. Well, you've said it in the forum so people know, at least. You'll need to accept that some won't want to meeet married & cheating. Whatever your reasons for doing it, there's no need to explain them to everyone on the forum though. Won't make any difference why.
I fully understand. I am not too happy about thinking about taking this course of action myself, but certainly won't lie about my situation. I guess that I am looking for the "easy" way out and am not certain that I am doing the right thing.
I appreciate your comments and see I have a lot to learn about the members here.

Thanks again for all of your comments. Trust me when I say I have exhausted all of my options. The talking has been done, she knows I love her but also knows I won't be able to go without forever.
True, you are only hearing one side of the story but when I over hear her joking with friends about getting bored when I last too long it has some impact.
I know I am coming over as being a right wuss! It has taken me years to reach this point and it isn't easy for me to admit that things aren't they way they should be. It has got to the point now where I don't want to have sex with her anymore. It is like sleeping and I do mean sleeping with a good friend.
Well, I've banged on long enough. Now that I have got all that off my chest I'll have a look around and get to know a few of you.
Cheers

when i was married and after a number of years my labido took a down turn and my doctor prescribed prozac as he thought i was depressed and as it is a non addictive anti depressent he thought this was best and i took it and after reading the side effects i descovered that one side effect i could expect was a loss of labido ..... o m g why did my doctor prescribe this to me when i went to see them with a lost labido i still do not understand to this day .....my piece of advice to you is get your wife to go back to the doctor to prescribe somthing different and read the side effects carefully, perhaps her taking prozac is the cause of her lack of interest.
best of luck with whatever the outcome is

Thank you for the welcome and all of your comments.
She will not change her medication. She is happy with it. sad

I feel torn between being faithful and enjoying life again.

Is this the place I should be?
I have been married for 17 years and until 4 years ago all was well when my wife started to take Prozac. Since then our sex life has been in a steady decline and now she is not interested in the slightest.
She has told me that she wouldn't be bothered if she didn't have sex again. I am very unhappy because I enjoy sex and am bloody good at it. I can't see me going without much longer. I don't want to do anything to impact on my family but am missing the way I feel when I am intimate with a woman. Something has got to give! :twisted:
Anyway, now that I have introduced myself where do I go from here?
