Yeah... I hadn't thought of that, but it does make sense. I can imagine that Jamie feels like a failure because every time Claire falls apart she goes to Nick. Even if it is his own fault. I say yeah, make him cheat! That gives Claire a very good reason to divorce him.

If he wasn't such a damn pussy, she wouldn't have any reason to go to Nick. She only does because Jamie bails on her, and she can't count on him for anything. She knows she can count on Nick. But at the same time, it's hard to change some aspect of your personality, like Jamie's pussy-ness LOL, so instead of trying to change and making things better with Claire, maybe he's just given up and tried to satisfy himself outside the marriage.

Okay, ready for another sneak peek? I just finished 165 last night, and I'm not going to post it on my site till tomorrow, so I can have an update on the first of the year LOL, but since you guys rock, I'll give it to you in 2006 (although it may already be 2007 for some of you . Too bad I can't write a little faster, or I might have been able to get this out before Christmas. I'm always a holiday behind LOL. Oh well. I think it's a cute chapter, and Laureen gave me some great ideas, so if it cute, it's cause of her LOL. Anyway, enjoy, and Happy New Year! www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/bms165sp.html Ahh finally! I'm definately in the minority because I'm SO glad it happened! I love Laureen and I'm rooting for her and Nick. Still the fact that Nick's a dillweed is not missed by me. If he hurts Laureen I'm gonna be really upset! LOL!

Gah, Nick and Laureen shouldn't sleep together. She's a virgin and he still is in love with Claire...that just screams wrong to me lol. Laureen knows that Nick is still in love with Claire and they are meant to be together. Poor Laureen. Maybe in someway Laureen wants to believe that her and Nick actually have a chance.

I can just imagine him: "You were cheating with Nick, so we're even." Exactly. Emotional cheating... she may not realize it, but the way she always goes to Nick for support when she should be going to her husband (who doesn't give her enough, which is why she does go to Nick)... I would say she's guilty of emotional cheating. Jamie can probably see it, so that would be his reasoning for the physical cheating if I went that route. I had a scenario in mind; I just hadn't decided whether or not to use it. I kinda want to, for the drama, but kinda don't cause the cheating thing is so cliche. So I dunno. My friend has a girlfriend that is a selfish bitch, and she made him quit smoking. He does smoke behind her back, but with that kind of thing the smoker needs to quit for themself. Last night, I told her that she should let him smoke, because even though he quit for her, he still smoke mentally. LOL This was after many many drinks.

Yay, Jamie will cheat on Claire, sh will divorce him. Then she'll go back to Nick, but he will be confused, because Julie likes drama. Then he will go to a bar and that's where my cameo will come in. I'm not above taking advantage of a distraught Nick Carter. Muhahahaha

Naaaa, Nick will be so freakin thrilled he will make life for him and her pure heaven. He has learned his lesson I think. I keep thinking of that "business" trip Jamie took not to long ago. He adamently did not want Claire to go. Sounded to fishy to me. And he went back to Utah a little to easy for my taste too. And now not much of a hissy fit over the condo. I smell dog. I could be totally off base but that's what I think. And he hasen't slept with Laureen yet. She just left that chapter where they were beginning to. You never know what will happen.

Yep, I've been suspecting Jamie was cheating on Claire for a few chapters, which is why I was surprised Julie posted that she wasn't sure and was debating it lol.

Honestly, I haven't decided yet, BUT... the business trips and going back to Iowa by himself and all that... perfect set-up for an affair if I go that route. I don't want it to be cliched... but it would be drama LOL.

This is how it happens in real life, and this story is a very good reflection of how relationships are in real life. After all, Jamie is a type of person who just wants something. He wanted Claire and till he got her away from Nick and to himself, he was the nicest person. But now he marries her and has kids from her, the job is done and over. It would only be so natural of him to cheat - with the personality he has.

It would only be so natural of him to cheat - with the personality he has. Thanks Gosdie! That's true, and I wouldn't do it unless I saw it being realistic too. I think Jamie does love Claire, but he's frustrated with the whole situation with her and doesn't know how to handle it. He didn't quite know what he was getting into when it came to her health problems and everything; having to make that decision to terminate one of the triplets definitely drove a wedge between them. He wanted them to move to Iowa, where HE grew up, 1) becaue he's selfish, and 2) because he invisioned this perfect little suburban, midwestern life for them, but she wasn't happy there, and he couldn't make her happy. And every time he fails at something, Nick is right there to pick up the pieces for Claire and sort of rub it in Jamie's face, without even meaning to. And now Claire's stuck in Tampa, with Nick, Jamie has to go back to Des Moines because he has a full-time job, he has no idea what's going on in Tampa, and she has no idea what's going on in Des Moines, so if the right girl came along to take his mind off of all the crap in his life and in their marriage, why not cheat? It would be so easy to conceal it from Claire if she's not even in the same state, and the whole time he was doing so, he could think that once the babies are born and Claire comes home, everything will be okay; they'll be a family again. So I dunno, that was my thinking from his standpoint, what his motivation for cheating would be.

Things are certainly not working out how Jamie had envisioned them. And he's starting to see that now. Yes one of the main reasons he fought so hard for Claire is because of Nick. To prove he could win her. He's never been strong enough to support her with all the medical stuff that comes with her. He wasen't in the past and he's not now. So maybe, he's feeling just as trapped as she is. So the cheating would be so easy to slip into. So, Claire would have pushed him into the physical cheating just as Jamie has pushed Claire into the emotional cheating with Nick. And I really don't think adding the babies to the mix is going to help the situation any. With Claire's luck she'll end up have severe post pardum depression. That's all Jamie will need to finally duck and run.

That's true, probably the only reason he made Claire fall in love with him was to "prove" that he was better than a gimp. A backstreet gimp at that. (these are his thoughts, obviously, not mine).

It would seem to easy for Jamie to cheat on her, he went through all of the trouble to get her from Nick to throw it all away for what? Mmm, Jamie is too smart for that, if anything he'd want to shove their relationship in Nick's face and him cheating on her would push her even closer to Nick, and that's not something that Jamie wants. He's got to know if he does have an affair, that's going to end the relationship and he'll lose and as we all know, Jamie is a sore looser.
