My cousin is only 20 years old and just graduated college less than a month ago. She completed college early because of taking courses during the summer. She just met a guy less than a year ago and getting married tomorrow. Several family members on one social site (FB) said that she should wait. The guy she married is from down south and she's from near Ohio. The father is a pastor and believes that they should marry than have sex before marriage. A former neighbor of mine who was 23 got married in the fall and now is getting a divorce only after 7 months of marriage. His wife is only 20. I've got a bad feeling that she's rushing into marriage because of family pressure. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Husband and I separated since November of last year because he want to take care of himself only. We got married when we re 20 and 21. We have been married for 8 years, no children. We lost the baby last year and since then everything went down hill... There s no cheating or lies involve. So I moved back home and live at my parent s house in CA, while he s in TX. On May of this year, he decided to "work" on the relationship. I was thrilled and happy. As time goes by, he have no intention of Living Together again. We are still married by law. I don t live with him, we are more than 2,000 miles apart. I only visit him once every 2-3months. I feel that we re long distant friends...it broke my heart because I still love my husband very much before the separation. This week I just got laid off from work, and I lost my healthcare benefits. I told my husband and he said "I m sorry but I am not going to add you into my healthcare insurance because I don t have the extra money for it. Also if you decide to move back to TX. You cannot live with me, you need to find your own place and get yourself a job so you can support yourself." When he said that I cried and I told him I ll talk to him later. I just send him a care package...gosh times like this is when I need him the most. He said "you re a strong woman everything will be okay." He said like everything is going to be okay, but I don t have a husband who s going to support me. 😢😢😢 am I foolish to continue to love this man?!

I am 17. I turn 18 in a few months. The custody between my divorced parents is split. Question 1: am I legally allowed to decide I want to live at my mom's only? I'm stuck here and do not know how to go about telling my mom as it would seem very sudden to her. I'm also unable to leave as I am here now and he threatened me if I left. If I made a break for it to my car I could most definitely make it but my stuff would still be here. Question 2: Am I able to do this without calling authorities? Question 3: Another thing is my dad pays my phone bill and health/car insurance...would that be dropped on my mom? Or would he have to keep paying some sort of child support bill? Even when I turn 18 and still live with my mom during the rest of high school? I have no problem paying my way after graduation. Question 4: Another thing is his bank account is linked with mine...would he be able to take all of my money? A VISA card is being shipped to his house for my account for me and I'm afraid he will abuse it. I suppose the easiest way to leave with all of my stuff would be to wait until the middle of the night, move a few things to my car and speed off to my mom's. I am almost 100% sure I want to not see him anymore or at least for the rest of high school because of how he threatened me and the other things he said. I do not feel loved or safe. What do I do? I know there's a lot of questions here but it's a lot to think about. Help.

I'm 13. My parents have been divorced for almost six years. My mom, my dad, and I all used to live in VA together because we're all from there. After the divorce my mom took me to live in TX with her. I love my mom, and I told her that I want to live with my dad in VA, but she said no, that she'd never change her mind, and that it'd break her heart if I left. But I know that she doesn't have full custody of me and that I can legally choose which parent I want to live with. I talked to my dad about it and he said that I can live with him in VA if I want to. And that he can start a court date if I want him to. My mom doesn't know I talked to him about that though and would probably be pissed if she knew that I did. My mom doesn't abuse me or anything, that's not why I want to move back to VA. I'm just homesick and I miss my dad. I only get top see him every year or so. The only reason I still live with her is to keep her happy. I love her, but I want to live with my dad. I'm 100% sure about my decision, but it would be so hard for her. What should I do? 10 points for best answer.

I know this married couple and as of a few months ago, the husband and I have been sleeping together. I found out that I'm pregnant and I told him and he told me that I needed to get rid of it because this wasn't in his plan. But I love him. And I want a family with him so bad. We planned on moving to New York City together this winter and he would divorce his wife so we could marry but now he doesn't want any part of this. I don't think abortion is right though. And he has a daughter with his wife, so why is it such a big deal for him? He hasn't texted or called me back since I told him and it just sucks. I see him everywhere I go and every song I hear makes me think of him. I have never been pregnant before and I'm actually pretty scared. It'd be nice for him to be there for me but he's been acting like a child. What can I do to get hin to leave his wife for me? I do love him. And our child needs a dad.

So me and my wife are thinking of having a 4-way with another couple. This is not something we are doing because we need to spice up our love life, both the emotional and physical part of our marriage is great, we just think this could be fun to do. Anyone have any experiences with this with tips, advise or things to do or not do?

A) I would work to support my 2 young daughter from my first marriage.. Which I have and did. B) I would agree to an antenup.. Which I did. All I I wanted was a son. He agreed. We once expecting a son and he demanded an abortion. Told me if I didn t, I would be a single mother bc he wouldn t have anything to do with me or him ( I was young and stupid to believe this). He agreed once married and I showed I would work he would be open to having a son once he got a reversal. Once he found out I aborted our baby, he snuck off and had a vecetomy. But kept promising a future son.We are 5 years down the road but I am tired of the fake promises so I won t lie, I had an affair. He knows and stoned off to file divorce. I do love him and our mixed family but want to be respected for my needs,like I always try to meet his. When I had the brief affair it was only bc we were in a rut and he kept calling me at work screaming i had divorce papers coming ( he is an attorney and can file them easy)this was an every other day event. if hine sight was 20/20 I would had just said I can t do this.. But I didn t and regret that. But since he knows about the affair he try s to play it off like he is the victim. I said if you met my needs and treated me like a human and been there, I would had never cheated. He would tell me when I would mention the abortion, if I wanted a kid I couldn t mention it for 6 months and he would. i feel cheated just llike he does, Is there any coming back from this?

I want a divorce. I know my husband is a cheater and a compulsive gambler. I know he is a cheater because he gave me an STD. When I confronted him about it, he said he was not cheating and blamed me. He leaves home, he doesn't call to let me know he's gone or even where he is. He doesn't answer the phone when I call. He is sometimes gone a couple of days. He won't agree to an uncontested divorce. I have no proof of grounds for divorce. The house is in my name. I've been paying the mortgage myself and most of the other bills. This situation depresses me. How do I get out of this marriage?

My wife of 14 years divorced me to chase a guy she had an affair with. Its 2.5 years since the divorce. He dumped her 7 months ago. However, she still meets up with him from time to time. I've noticed that when she does interact with this guy, she becomes oppositional and near combative with me. We have two kids that we share 50/50 custody with. So, its usually something related to the kids that she will end up becoming argumentive over. My question is, what is it about her interactions or relationship with that guy that causes her to be so mean to me?

A casual relationship with this man for almost 2 years just turned into a nightmare. He just won't let go and he's doing horrible things. After telling me that he loved me and that he wanted to see me he cancelled plans right away( which is kind of odd)and he got really paranoid saying that some homeless guy was taking pictures. He's a cop and he always texts me and calls me and whenever I don't answer he starts getting really weird. He thinks I'm his property or something. We argued and he held my car keys and started to kiss me and then I told him to get out of my car. He tells me that he's in love with me but he has a situation with his ex? This is a cycle and it gets to the point where I spend hours crying and telling him that I hate him and he doesn't seem to care. All he says is " I'm sorry you feel that way" 

I noticed my husband never says we're doing anything, He always 'I' as in him. I was waiting for him at work today and he was making small talk with the receptionist, she asked him what he was doing this weekend and he said 'I'm' going to this new sushi place. He always does this. Isn't that weird?

My husband and I haven't been soeaking but a friend of mine saw him and he was still wearing his wedding ring. If you were intent on divorcing would you still be wearing your ring or would that be the first thing you got rid of?

My husband and i watch it together for fun occasionally but lately ive caught it saved in his phone and it makes me feel like im not enough. The girls are the opposite of what i am completely. And i feel like he wants something different than me. We have sex all the time so i know hes not going without. Somebody help me explain to him how it makes me feel...

I had in-law issues an year back and at that time my husband took his parents side which broke my heart. I was deeply hurt and it left an untreatable scar for me. It's been a year now. I have stopped talking to my in-laws since the incident happened. My husband has changed since then. Ex: he doesn't call them that often or talk to his parents in front of me as he knows hearing their voice makes me agitated/angry. Whenever we fight and the topic comes up, he still tries to take their side or recently has started saying everyone's at fault here and is very strict on saying he doesn't want to discuss anything that happened. Since the incident caused so much hurt i have gone into slight depression, i wake up in the night with anxiety, stress etc. I feel like my husband doesn't get my POV. My husband loves me and i love him too. He keeps reassuring me that look at us now and don't think about future. We have been together for around 4 years and married for 1.5 years. whatever my in-laws did is still lingering in my brain and i'm worried for my future/kids, etc. My husband is a mama's boy and is very close with his step-dad too. Given the past and the hurt he caused me, i can't bring myself to trust him when it comes to his parents. I still feel like one day he will take their side and hurt me even more or something really bad might happen if they get involved. How can i overcome this and start trusting my husband again? I have tried a bunch of stuff and nothing helped. Regarding kids - my husband says that his mom will be heartbroken if she is not involved and he just can't keep her away from all this. Thought of having in-laws involved when i get pregnant stresses me out. I have heard stories about having miscarriage because of stress. My husband also tells each and everything to his parents that goes on in our life. I have tried to talk to him about this and he get very angry. Whenever the subject comes up he says you are making me more angrier by talking/bringing up the subject. I don't get any joy in bringing up the subject, i honestly want him to understand my feelings. But now after one more fight and seeing his reaction, i've decided it's not worth it. He will not see what his step-dad did, he will instead still blame me I have never asked my husband to stop contacting his parents. I'm not creating any breach here. I even suggested him if he likes then take his parents with him for a trip or go visit them. The only thing i asked him of is to not involve me with his parents. Well, the FIL was very abusive, he indirectly using sweet words tried to break up my marriage and my husband doesn't see it that way. He thinks his step-dad was trying to help him. He even listened to what his step-dad said which worries me. What did the step-dad do? 1) Stopped talking to me when they visited us for the first time, in my own house but was ok to eat the food i cooked. Reason - one day i didn't make the cuisine he wanted to eat. 2) After they left, after few months, i found a ton of horrible messages from my FIL to my HB about how he should have control over each and everything. That my HB could have found someone better. 3) When i confronted my FIL about this, his response was - i have all right to talk anything i want with my son and you can't stop me. 4) When i asked my husband, he said ignorance is the best thing 5) My FIL then sent one long email when i told them that i'm not going to talk to them after everything that happened, where he accused and blamed me and suggested my HB to leave me and that they are very sorry that my HB and I met and got married. I booked flight tickets for my in-laws, cooked everyday even when i was sick (FIL didn't even bother asking me once on how i was feeling), planned their outing/trips, spent money on their shopping, etc. Even when i was sick at home, that didn't stop them from going out for shopping/trips.

Please mention your country as well Because in my country every one talks you out of marriage.it is a nightmare because of inflation and economic reasons. When I say all I mean all, like taxi drivers, sales people, and all the others in society. Is your country like mine?

I am married to a very wealthy family. Over time I lost interest in my husband for him rejecting me all the time. We simply live like 2 roommates. No emotional connection anymore. I used to be in love with him, now he is just a person that sometimes his presence even bothers me. I have learned to live in solitude, emotionally speaking. All the things he has done along with his drug, alcohol problem(which he quit now) makes me wonder if he will ever grow up. We have no kids. I have financial security yet if I even leave him, I rather be by myself. Sick of relationships. I have given up on arguing with him. We live peacefully but I do not love him. He never ever shows any emotions. He is always in his own world. Since I do not even want another relationship I am wondering if it is better to live a lonely life with him just for financial reasons. Yes, marriage is hard work, I have put up with a lot. it is a very un-fulfilling relationship. I feel like there is no bond between us anymore. Would anyone in my place stay in this type of marriage?

I got my marriage lincense on friday and was told to wait for 72hrs,can i get married on tuesday?

My husband and I are both employed at the same company in Louisville, KY. We are going through a divorce. He lives in KY, our kids and I live in Indiana. If I file a protection order would our company be more likely to follow the order and keep me employed or fire both of us? He is at a high level in the company than I am in a different department, different floor. He s been so out of his mind lately I don t know what to expect next. Any thoughts on how this would go down? No he s not paying child support, it hasn t been court ordered yet, I just filed a week ago. He s left me with our young kids, under 4.I make good money here and it s my only source of income. His mom and him are trying to get me fired so I have nothing. I just want to know if our company would let us both go or if they would just let one of us go (who ever the protection order is against).

We have a lawyer to get regular visitations back since the mother kept them from us for the past year.. Her excuse for it was because she was on drugs real bad.. We've been through hell with all of her drama she puts us through, their is too much to explain on here about all of that. Well, here in the past month, the mother has been letting their 2 kids stay here for most of that time since her husband got locked up.. We have been writing down the dates they've been coming over... She has no home now and might let the kids live with us till she gets back on her feet.. Is there anyway we can get sole custody of the children if their going to be living with us... We plan on going and talking to our lawyer Monday but just want some advise now on what we can do and if their is a chance.

My husband and I had a falling out and it resulted in a call to the police and now there is a no contact order between us and we aren't allowed to speak. My buddy saw my husband around town and he was still wearing his wedding band. Does this mean well still be together once this all blows over?

He held me down and roughly just stuck himself inside of me and it lasted 5 minutes and he had an orgasm then right after that he got off of me and turned away from me and went to sleep. No emotion no nothing.

He has not had sex with me in 5 months! He says he has no sex drive at all! But when he wakes up he is hard and erect and when I touch him he grabs my hand and pushes it away. I have caught him masturbating three times yet he lied and said he has no sex drive. He lied. He evidently has a sex drive but he won't have sex with me but will Jack off in the shower. He does not watch porn either. I feel so lonely and depressed.

I met my wife in Mexico. We didn't spend a lot of time together before getting married. We only saw each other a couple of times a year when I would go visit her in Mexico. Not long after we got married she started getting very moody. She would get mad easily. One night when we were drinking she started saying some pretty strange things. She said "I always get what I want" And "You are my property now". Then she started talking about how she likes to get revenge on people who do anything wrong to her. She even told me a story about her ex boyfriend who had wronged her. She claimed that she planted drugs in her car and called the police and had him arrested! I felt like she was threatening me. It's like she was saying you better not ever mess me around! Is this just the ramblings of a drunk person, or should I be worried? I have been told that people speak their true feelings when they are drunk. I meant to say planted drugs in HIS car.

Did it hurt? Why did you get a divorce? How long did it take to move on and how did you handle it. Did you find a better match? Need some advice please.

My 3 year old son would come in my master bedroom, wanting to sleep with my husband and I. Sometimes even when we are kissing about to have sex he would knock on our door. My husband would be the one who readily agree to allow him to sleep with us but I caught his face being a little annoyed and disappointed yet he never say no to our boy. Why ? It's more about my husband's reaction. He seem annoyed but he's the one who carry our son to our bed. I don't know what's he's thinking When I ask my husband if he's upset that our son sleep with us he would shrug his shoulders and sigh

I ve been married to my husband for almost 2 years now. For the past 6 months or so, he s had a problem with video games. He s constantly playing with them, even into the early hours of the morning; it s so bad that I ve been sleeping downstairs on the couch for a few months now. We have a 2 year old daughter, and most of the time he will not turn the Xbox on when he s watching her, but instead will play games on his phone while sitting next to her instead of interacting with her. On the days he doesn t work, he drops her off at daycare, then spends the entire day playing video games. I ask him to please help out around the house and he still doesn t do anything but play games. It s hard for me because I m very pregnant and I leave early and get home late, but when I do get home I immediately start picking up the mess because with a 2 year old it gets out of hand. What also bothers me is that on the days he doesn t work he tells me to come home for lunch because he ll have it ready, so we don t have to spend money eating out. I come home on a 25 minute break expecting to eat and he always says he got sidetracked because he was playing his games. When I tell him I don t have time to eat because he forgot all he says is then get the **** out or you ll be late for work. And even on the days he doesn t work, he hasn t fed our daughter when I get home for work at 7, then makes me make dinner for everyone even though I m exhausted and can hardly stand on my feet. Help please!

I will be your tour guide. Requirements: You must be married. Your wife must be using sex as a weapon and withholding it for weeks or months. You must be over 40. You must have a passport. You must at the very least pay for your own plane ticket. I've decided to be an evangelist on the issue of Western female atrocities and start showing other men the red pill. This is a serious offer. My email is jackm210 at yaboo

When I say love, I mean when you are being intimate and look at each others eyes, do you still feel intense love for the other person? I know after first stage of marriage, those butterflies go away. Do you at least feel that intimacy that no one else can make replace it with your partner? Or is it more like just a person without having any special emotions for them. Yes there will be fights and ups & downs but at least in the most intimate moment do you feel that joy of true love with your partner? Thank you very much.

What does it mean when a guy say that will u give me sex when I come back after 2 years.? And also,what does it mean when a guy say that I don't plan for marriage and telling me that he might have plan to marry in future.only serious answer!

Is a man capable of marrying any girl he wants. Can he just choose girl to marry no matter were she is from? Would a girl give in to any man who asks to marry her or date her? Is it right that men get to choose but women dont?

I was horny last night and did it even though she didn't want to and now she is talking rape. Whats wrong with her. We are married.

But he initiates most of our physical sessions? I do every once in awhile so if his statement were true- wouldn't I be the one initiating? I'm quite hurt now and wondering what this means.

I got married a few years back, and due to extreme interference of my in laws, i moved out of my husbands place and started living apart. For 1.5 years we were in good terms, no sex though. Last year I found out from his emails and 100 texts, that met with his ex gf once and probably had sex. I was pretty devastated, and heart broken. he never apologized and i wanted to still be with him , so i tried to forget. But it wasn't an easy job to forget and forgive. I lost trust and would bash him over other issues. also he never moved in with me, never talked about starting a family and still wanted to keep the marriage going. He lives with his parents and wanted me to accept that and move in with his parents again. Anyways, we finally started drifting apart, hardly saw each other in last 6 months. I found some new friends, and there is someone who likes me a lot. i like him too but he is just not my husband. after a lot of dedication from this guy's side, i ended up sleeping with him once. i had sex after 2.5 years, but it wasn't a happy one. i still feel i am cheating on my husband. in the meantime, my husband had a huge career problem and that bought us in talking terms again. We worked together on his problems and i stood by him . We are in friendly terms now, but still no romance. i dont know what to do. here is this guy, who likes me a lot, and i slept with him, but i don't like him enough.should i feel guilty about sleeping with him. above all, my husband is a great guy Thanks people, all great answers. how do i delete this question? there seem to be no options

They say it promotes strict gender roles which leads to abusive relationships and marriages. My husband read all three books when we first got married and he wanted me to sign a submissive, ladylike, good wife contract he wrote for me and told me that if I didn't behave properly like one, he would either whip me, collar me, tie me up, or a combination of any by using those slavery tools he ordered on Ebay. We had a lot of arguments about these things that I finally ran away from him towards a domestic violence shelter. I didn't care about what my parents would say, even though they married me off to him but my well-being is more important than the husband they want for me. My husband tried to drag me into seeing the movie but I had to leave him for a domestic violence shelter instead. He wanted me to watch it so that way I would learn to behave like a real lady since he believed in strict gender roles.

Okay she said she ready but im not and she telling me I dont love her and all this three years ago she said she want to get married and said the same bs and I married her last year and she said this was enough to show that I love her and now she wants jids because all her friends are getting pregnant and im not ready to be a father right now I want to wait atleast three years but she saying that I dont love her and I dont care about uer and her feeling but she doesnt care about mine just because you say your ready and want to have kids doesnt mean that I'm ready to have kids

My husband and I are having a big argument right now. Our hot water heater is leaking in the rental home we are living in and last night my husband was at church and the landlord sent a plummer to the house. After he left I wanted to talk to my husband about it and I called and he didn't reply. I text a few minutes later and still no reply. About 10 minutes goes by and he walks in the door. I ask him why he didn't answer me and he said "cause I don't have to, I was on my way home anyway." That pissed me off. He has a cell phone for a reason so why doesn't he when he sees it's me answers it? He says he didn't feel the need to answer the phone when he was in the car on the way to the house. He also said that he doesn't live by his cell. Sometimes he just wants to listen to the radio or just not answer. He said that the I knew he was coming home so there was no need to start calling or texting. Am I not wrong to think him saying "cause I didn't have to" was rude on his part?

I meet my husband 6 years online, he like me is from my country Dominican Republic. He's 23 and I'm 22, ever since we known each other our far away relationship has been a living hell. The first years were okay, since it was all about getting to know each other. At that time I was going through a major depression because because my father did not allow me to spend time with my friends and relax my mind. The other years I feel in love with him,I got used to talking to him everyday. I told my parents about him, they meet him in one of our yearly vacations to DR.When he became 18 he started working, used to drink so much, always hitting other girls up. There was always something. He was always talking to his god mother whom he used to tell her everything about us, and she always had a ******* opinion she was like the third person. However I still married him, my parents were just making my life a living hell and did not let me travel alone to get to know him better.On December 2014 I brought him to the U.S. he keep talking to other girls though an old Facebook account,I forgave him all this things because I love him. But inside me, I just have this feeling that our relationship is so wrong, I don't trust him at all anymore. I have a feeling that he just used me to come here. And that he will leave me sooner or later! I don't know what to do, sometimes I want to leave him, when he treats me bad, but then other times he treats me nice and I change my mind. Any advice? thanks

My wife and I are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. When she had her miscarriage, she did not cry. She was only upset because she was feeling physical pain. But after that, she was just unaffected. For me, it is something that affects my daily life. The loss is devastating to me. I am not an overly emotional person but family is very important to me. I've cried about it. I've talked to her about it. She told me it was "probably meant to be" because now that she thinks about it, she's not ready for a kid right now. She said she wants to build up her career more first. She does not want to try again for another year or two. I was talking to her about it and she said, "How much longer are you going to talk about it? Can't you just let it go?" It's been a month. This is causing me to feel very distant from her. I love her but the fact that our child died and she shrugs it off and even feels grateful for it sickens me. I don't know what to say to her or how to resolve it because I can't force her to be upset. I don't even want her to feel like I do because it's painful but I wish she would feel something. I feel almost as if there's something wrong with her. I confided in my brother about this and he asked if it's possible she caused it. We had tests run and the fetus' heart stopped beating due to an irregular number of chromosomes so I know she didn't. She told me I should see a therapist if I feel upset and she agreed to go for support but not because she needs it.

I have been married for 7 years and love my husband deeply. I know that all couples have disagreements and hardships but I really need some advice. Currently my husband goes out once a week, drinking with his buddies. I don't have a problem with drinking when done responsibly, but sometimes he drives home drunk. I've seen him literally fall out of the car in the driveway. Another issue is that he won't tell me when he goes out, won't answer his phone and comes home between 7am- noon the next day. So I sit at home, wondering where he may be; a friends house, jail for a DUI, or got in a bar fight and is hurt somewhere. I've told him that I think its disrespectful for him to make me worry and horrible to put others lives at stake when drinking and driving. He agreed about the driving while intoxicated and hasn't done that for a while, but continues to stay out all night without letting know where he is. He has told me on multiple occasions that I am controlling by making him check in. He will also make comments about me growing up Mormon and that my ideas of marriage are from the 18th Century. We have argued time and again, and he will agree not to do it again or apologize. Then he does it again the following weekend. Am I over reacting? Am I being the crazy controlling wife? If not, how do I handle the situation without making it worse?

My son's dad and I broke up two years ago, and with more time that has passed, the easier it has been for us to comfortably get along. We're actually really good friends now. We've gone from talking about necessary things, to general conversation, to the point we're at now where we can really confide in each other. He says that he can't talk to anyone the way he can talk to me, and lately, we've been more and more open with each other. The thing is that, whilst it is really nice to be able to talk limitlessly to him, there are things I've told him about my boyfriend and I that maybe I shouldn't have. Nothing bad,it's just about a couple of issues we've had. He's not going to judge, and it's not uncomfortable - in fact, it's the opposite. It's just that afterwards, I do find myself thinking " Is he the the best person to be telling that to?" for me he is, especially as I can get a male perspective, but I'm just wondering if maybe it's a little "weird"

I work 40 hours a week. My husband works between 70 and 80 hours a week. I do everything around the house, inside and out. Cook, clean, mow, take out the trash, laundry....everything. I even clean up after him most of the time (dishes/trash on night stand). Before he took this job he only worked 40-50 hours a week and he would help out a little around the house, and he would always mow the yard. But now....notta. I don't say anything to him about it because I know he works nearly double what I do, plus his job requires actual physical work and he's in the sun most of the day. He typically only has 1 day off per week. He works 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week. So, I do everything around the house. Would you if you were in my situation? Or would you ask your husband to help out some? I have a 13 year old daughter. She cleans up her space. We live in a large 2 story remodeled victorian home. We also have a cat and a dog and a hamster. I'm not sure how the house gets so cluttered, but things seem to pile up over night. lol I'm not trying to complain at all, just seeking opinions. I enjoy mowing when it's not 100 degrees out. I can't really handle the heat anymore. And we live in South Georgia, USA. Not sure why his hours is that huge of a surprise to you. People work those kinds of hours all over, he gets overtime pay for everything over 40 hours a week. And you're right, we don't have much time for a life, unfortunately. But, we have to work to pay the bills. I don't believe it's my daughter's job to take care of the house, which is why I'm satisfied with what she does do. She keeps the den clean, her bedroom, and bathroom. My daughter takes care of her own messes. I meant I don't feel its her responsibility to clean up after other people in the house. If I ask her to do something, she will. We definitely do need new jobs! Neither of us has great pay, at all, which is why him working so many hours isn't really getting us anywhere. Unfortunately, there aren't many job options around here, but we are both looking when we can. Growing up with a single mom, I did do a lot of the chores, including mowing. I guess I do baby my daughter in that aspect, because I don't want her to feel like a slave (like I did). I just got married last year, I was a single mom until then and did everything on my own. I was just hoping getting married would take some of that off my shoulders, but never expected my husband to have to work so much. Maybe I will start asking my daughter to do more. She did empty the dishwasher yesterday.. ...so I know she's capable of doing more if I just ask her to. Please stop moving my question! This is not a Career and Employment question!!!!! Geez, read, people!

My wife and her father according to her they have very strong bond, she is 31, she have lived with her parents all her life until we got married last year, she is the only child. I remember when I used to talk to her on the phone , her father would enter her room without knocking the door to give her good night kiss at the age of 29, her mother would do the same thing before she got to bed. Two weeks ago she gave birth to our first child, while she was in labor her parents were also at the hospital, I tried many times to stop her father enter the room and see her naked, after she gave birth I was very tired having not slept for two day in the row....I was laying on the corner half asleep , what I saw is her father tried to see if the baby is sucking, he even tried to put his hands on her daughter breast, since I was laying on the on the ground I did not see if his hand touched my daughter head or his daughter breast, her mother was in the room also standing next to him, she saw what had happened , she didn't say a single word ,nurses were also in the room. If feel I have been disrespected by her parents. Yesterday her parents wanted to speak to me on the phone, since my head haven't been together after the breastfeeding incidents, I told her I will speak to them later. Now she have accused me of being unloving and uncaring towards her parents, I told her what happened, she said she can't remember since she was tired but I should have told him off , it my fault I kept quite..

My mother in law passed 2 days ago, I barely knew her at all. We met once in the 2 years me and my husband have been together. I never really spoke to her as she is non-English speaking. I barely know his family in general, I want to be there for my husband and father in law but I don't feel like I can be. My husband went behind my back when this happened, he went over to his ex wife and confinded in her before telling me what happened and she started being at my throat telling me that he needs his "real" family to get through this. They have children together, who he barely sees, they didn't know their grandma so much either. The youngest 2 never met her. I'm trying to hold myself together until this has passed over and see what happens, but right now I barely feel anything for my husband knowing he went behind my back. I don't know what to do, I wanted to go and stay with my parents after all this and have some time for myself but my husband refused to let me leave. I feel trapped and alone right now. Would I be a bad person if I didn't go to her funeral?

Hi everyone, yesterday was our 8th anniversary. My spouse forgot it and today he just remembered and said oh my god it was our anniversary I am sorry do you want me to take you some place nice for dinner. And I said no! Because It's not like I'm waiting for him to take me out, wtf was he thinking... After that he acts like nothing has happened. I have to say that I care about our special day a lot and he knows it. But this year he forgot like all of them, even valentines day! Me and my 2 years old were dressed up and expecting him but he came late and didn't even mention it! The most interesting issue is that he just forgets our special days like bd or anniversary or... 4 days ago was his sister bd and he completely remembered that. I think it's a major problem, we have been together for almost 10 years and we know each other very well. I still care for him and celebrating his bd and father's day and etc... But he doesn't the same

can you please tell me why are you divorced?how long were you married?what lead up to the divorce? "Separation' is easy ''LIVING TOGETHER IS HARD' SO DONT GO TO SEPARATION STAY STRONG AND LIVE TOGETHER TILL YOUR DEATH

My wife and I are young. She is 29 and I am 32. We have no kids. I have noticed that we have fallen into a bad rut. She loves to work in her real estate job and we have booked a couple of properties off the plan so there's pressure to do well. Especially before the market experiences the downturn (we're living in Australia). We have been married for four years and together for seven. I have noticed an ongoing pattern with us having sex about once every 6-8 weeks. I keep reading that this is not normal and I often wonder what it would do for us if we did it more often. But she is rarely in the mood. She looks at porn in the iPad while I go down on her and there is little foreplay. She blames it on taking too long and she wants to get there quickly by watching the videos. I have asked her to come out with me but we rarely have the time for that and she prefers us to work hard now so we can have a better future later. At home she spends all her time on the phone talking with colleagues and customers. Even browsing the chat feed for interesting articles. She has a decent presence in the Chinese online community. But the trouble is that these days we usually go to bed and just play on our phones and then go to sleep. We have a routine where we will still come to each others' arms and I will massage her hand or she will hug me but that's about it. It's very routine and I wish that we could find a spare day to go out together. She doesn't want to see a movie tonight... But she will attempt to win over her clients by taking them on a road trip or watching a movie. She says that is the smart way to work and to spend money on leisure activities knowing it will bring her a financial reward. I guess I wish we had a more normal marriage. Even dinners together are rare and she spends the whole time on the phone and not talking to me. She laughs with the people online but there's no laughter with me. No chance to try and have a good time. So I feel sidelined and incapable of getting her to laugh or feel good.
