Hera grew up <strong>to</strong> be courted by the mighty Zeus - but she refused <strong>to</strong> be seduced by<br />

him <strong>and</strong> insisted on marriage. In the end, he gave in <strong>and</strong> the honeymoon lasted 300<br />

years though the next few hundred were not always so sweet. Eventually, as with so<br />

many women who live for the ideal of marriage <strong>and</strong> can't quite adapt <strong>to</strong> the reality of<br />

it, she began <strong>to</strong> feel her husb<strong>and</strong> had ruined her life!<br />

There's got <strong>to</strong> be some way <strong>to</strong> fulfill your dream of a perfect relationship. Because<br />

you're under the influence of Hera, the marriage goddess, you're half dreading <strong>and</strong><br />

half hopefully dreaming of Valentine's Day. In your nightmare, he (<strong>and</strong> you already<br />

know exactly who he is) gets a card from her her. her<br />

(you're pretty sure you know who she<br />

is <strong>to</strong>o). He thinks you don't know - but you're not so easily fooled. The lack of hard<br />

evidence hardly counts. She's probably left her card in a secret, pre-arranged place.<br />

He's probably done the same with his gift for her. You refuse <strong>to</strong> be taken for a fool -<br />

though in another way, you cant s<strong>to</strong>p hoping that you are a fool <strong>and</strong> that it actually is<br />

all in your mind. Just in case, you won't give up completely on him or, at least, not<br />

yet.<br />

This brings us on <strong>to</strong> your hopeful dream. Tomorrow, he's going <strong>to</strong> make the gesture<br />

that proves he really cares. He's going <strong>to</strong> say the one thing, make the one move - or<br />

suggest the one idea that lets you know he really does listen - <strong>and</strong> that he wants you<br />

more than he wants any other woman in the world. After all, you <strong>and</strong> he were born<br />

<strong>to</strong> be <strong>to</strong>gether. That's why you fell for him in the first place. It can surely only be a<br />

matter of time before the two of you s<strong>to</strong>p falling out or failing <strong>to</strong> communicate clearly<br />

<strong>and</strong> start living in the blissful, idyllic world of perfect underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> trust that so<br />

you yearn <strong>to</strong> experience. And, considering how much time (<strong>and</strong> effort, <strong>and</strong> sacrifice<br />

<strong>and</strong> compromise) you have already given this relationship, it's all simply got got <strong>to</strong> start<br />

happening any day now. Hasn't it?<br />

Well maybe. And maybe not. It depends, not on him, but on you. You've got <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p<br />

seeing yourself as a victim of circumstance or a helpless puppet in the h<strong>and</strong>s of your<br />

man. You've got <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p wondering <strong>and</strong> worrying about 'her' (whoever she is, if she<br />

exists at all) <strong>and</strong> start deciding that you're the most beautiful gorgeous desirable<br />

woman in the universe. You are, indeed, so lovely that, if he actually is is daft enough<br />

<strong>to</strong> spurn you, your life will be filled in seconds flat, by hundreds of other admirers.<br />

Actually you do do know this already. It's just that you've gone <strong>and</strong> got it in<strong>to</strong> your head<br />

that, as none of those are him him, him<br />

they're all no good <strong>to</strong> you. This may be a slightly better<br />

excuse for martyrdom if 'he he he' he actually is someone you've already given years of<br />

dedication <strong>to</strong> but it's still an excuse. So <strong>to</strong>o, is your concern for the future of the kids,<br />

the pets, the house, the bills or the business. All these will, actually, ultimately be just
