      ChiefKiasu:
      A quick look at my ballooning bills and my bank account is a sure remedy for any shopping-lust.

      what chief says is quite true too, men with more bills to pay n less extra to spend will be less likely to pander to lust temptation. So as what 3boys says, wives must help with the happiness, so wives, help with the bank accounts. 😉

                  [quote]Wah!! I just have the time to read insider's sharing on the 1st page. Totally salute you on internalizing those unwanted thoughts.

                  [/quote]But having said that, if given the same situation that my marriage is not so smooth, would I just succumb to temptation and let myself go? Well, I can’t say that 100% I will not but unlikely so coz there are some deeply rooted values in me. [quote]
                  I have the same sentiment too. Although often parentless while growing up (they working lah), I have been enriched embracing my faith that has been taught since I was young. Not an extremist but a moderate one (knowledgable and not based on heresay or belief) is sufficient enough to carry me through.

                      [quote]For example, when one is in the middle of a high profile project where very high authorities are involved and puts one's career reputation at stake, can one just FLEE by quitting? I say no. Other than managing this issue, I think one's reputation professionally is also very important. It is challenging but it is best to face it. What cannot break you makes you stronger. I think the self-victory is a satisfying achievement too. That said, we have to weigh the situation, if we know we are failing mentally, then FLEE is the strategy. Or if we meet an obsessed person hot on the heels, then we are dealing with a psycho case, flee is definitely the way to go if one does not want to report as harassment. [/quote]
                      I've been with my current company coming to 3 years. What I did at the initial start is to add in my conversation about my kids, subtly telling colleague that I am married. But my hsuband lagi best. He took leaves or make the effort to bring the kids and fetch me from work. So there...let the whole office see that we are happy family.

                      I guess mine will be a case of mistaken status which needs to be corrected. I have this very new colleague 2 days old that came last week. This new colleague of mine that I need to work with & travel with is actually a very young chap. Sighh...Within 2 days, he dropped by 7 times & work has not even started yet. Funny thing is, he makes small talk & even ask me who are those in the pictures pasted on the wall. Of course my kids pictures duh. Which single lady want to put niece & nephew picture on her cubicle wall.
