Husband had affair 2 yrs ago acted shady the first year he still wont talk about why or what went wrong does this mean he was greiving over her?

not necesarily he may feel too guilty or ashamed of his own behaviour and by not talking about it he wont have to remind himself of this. The liklihood is he will talk about it only when he is ready to do so. If he is trying to keep your marriage together he wont want to bring up past mistakes I can understand your need to know and try to understand what went on etc but try to put this to the back of your mind for now until he is ready to talk to you. It's not the ideal situation I know I was like your husband and I just wanted to forget it ever happened I learnt my lesson believe me! I know it must be difficult for you with him not talking about it but there will come a day you may not get all the answers but you will get something. If you both want to keep the marraige alive focus on your future together try to stay positive and if he wants to talk at any point let him do it without interruption/criticism and then he may be able to answer some of your doubts and questions. Good luck

Where and how writing had developed from earliest beginnings through modern times?

Writing was developed at the time the first civilizaions formed in the 4 river valleys. The process of developing it into modern language took place through 4 generalized steps.- 1. A picture represents a thing.- In writing's earliest beginnings, pictures were used to represent things ( pictograms). This was useful for basic communication, but it couldn't be used to represent ideas, such as "truth," or "justice". 2. A picture represents an idea.-ex. A symbol of "wealth" would be a picture of plant, because farming was their main system of making a living (ideograms). 3. A picture represents a vowel or consonant sound.- A tree could represent "tree" or the "trea" in the word "treason" (sonograms). 4. A picture represents a single letter.- A picture of an A stood for the sound "AY" as in "may"- this soon became the modern Alphabet.

No, you read it left to right. The fingers feel in the same pattern as the eyes read a line of text on a page. They go from the top left to the top right, move a line down and continue the pattern.
