Search Results: odd behavior

I’ve noticed some odd behavior from my wife over the past few months. One day last week, a guy came to the door asking for my wife. She shooed me away, and about a minute or two later, he just simply left. A few weeks before that, I arrived home from work early and saw a guy leaving our house and getting into his car and leaving. I asked my wife both times and she said not to worry about it and it’s nothing. Other odd behavior I’ve noticed is that she doesn’t want me seeing her texts or Facebook messenger messages. She’ll get a Facebook message but won’t let me see and when I try to look later on her phone, the message is gone like she erased it. Now, she barely talks to me and won’t tell me if she’s mad at me or why. She just says she has to take care of some things around the house. I haven’t suspected my wife of cheating in the past but this is sounding like cheating. What do you all think?

Morality is a subject that triggers some people, I presume because they are susceptible to being called immoral. For me, morality is built upon some assumptions about fundamental values and behaviors which define "right" and "wrong." It was taught to me by my elders when I was a young boy and it hasn't changed as I've gotten older. I do not have the privilege of adapting morality so that it is convenient for my life, and morality may be quite inconvenient at times. And in a system of morals, as I understand morals, the answer to the question is almost never "it depends."

Most religions have an inherent code of morality, though not all religious people either accept or follow the code. And a person need not have a religion to be a moral person. Some religious adherents apply the code in a way that defies the teachings of the religion (e. g., the Westboro Baptist Church protests at military funerals) and those who are not religious use those examples to criticize all religions. But there are many religious people who attempt to follow a moral code. . . and some of them are slammed for their behavior.

Yes, simply believing in a moral code might place you at odds with those around you, and actually following that code increases the odds. It's not easy. I try to be a moral person, and my dedication to that ideal has increased as I have gotten older. However, I do not claim to follow my moral code without fail, but I do try to learn from my mistakes and not repeat them. I don't do it because it is easy. I do it because I think it is the right thing to do.

Do you consider yourself to be a moral person? Does the decision to have a moral code have consequences in your personal life?
