We were both working out and I told him I see him on this particular street close to where I live. I initiated again by asking for his name. After he shook my hand and left me few details about him, he left without asking for his name. Should I try again or just completely ignore the situation? I felt invisible and he avoided me the whole time. Although, it seems he was in a hurry. Leave it alone and move on like I never met him? And just smile if I bump into him? I felt embarassed.

I have a friend, legendary fooking guy. Him and I have known each other since we were 3. In our early young adulthood we had tons of fun getting wasted, smoking green, playing GTA and Madden. Over the last two years I've been like the family maid, driver, and babysitter. I spent 9 hours a day in a vehicle teaching him how to drive, and one night I even spontaneously helped him move a fridge up three flights of staris, down one flight, into a truck then later across town up two flights of stairs through a door and against a wall just because his wife all of a sudden had a bee in her bonnet about getting a freezer that day and I wanted to be nice. Since he got his license (1 month ago) he's invited me over and then when it came time for it to happen he wouldn't come and come up with the lamest excuse the next day. We did have two nights where he did hang out but it was only because they had a serious fight and his wife drank or smoked herself to sleep so we cruised for a bit and he told me his wife isn't very keen on me anymore. He told me that any ideas he might have had about inviting me over were met by her immediate "AWWWWWW HEEEEEEEEELLLLL NO!" from her and her going into long winded rants about all she does to keep their family afloat and for him to have the nerve to try do this to her. I'm sick of it, I just got stood up again and tonight was the last time I'm waiting up for him. I want to send him a message saying like "Look man I can see the writing on the wall and I get it, she doesn't like me. Have a good life, I look forward to probably randomly meeting in 30 years and catching up over a beer. For now enjoy your family."

Just wondering...:) it could be bad or good. I'm thinking of writing a blog of a "life of a wife of a salesman".

Maybe I'm shallow, but I want my husband to actually be good looking, tall, and have a nice body. Also, he should be smarter than me and be handy around the house. Preferably he is also funny and chill lol. And yea I may be picky, but I actually have all those qualities myself so I can be.

Our first anniversary. We just sold the house that was his before marriage. We live in mine which is worth at least twice what he got out of his. He took several thousand dollars to pay off his own debts and has allocated several thousand more to things he wants--boat, workshop...When we got married just a year ago, we were not in the great financial place we are now. My income has almost doubled and we only have one mortgage. When he bought my engagement ring and wedding ring, things were tight. He bought the cheapest, simplest rings and said he would make it up to me in time. Fast forward. We were talking about the $10k left he hasn't spent yet. I mentioned he could upgrade my rings. He laughed and said he's buy me a candy ring and continued to talk about what he was going to do with his money. Meanwhile, when my home sells he expects to share equally. For our anniversary, I thought he'd surprise me with an upgraded set. NOPE. A watch (I don't wear them). I bought him something really meaningful that he's been wanting forever. Something really nice. I can't help but feel so disappointed and even angry. Feeling that way makes me feel selfish, but I feel like it's hurtful to spend it only on himself and pick out a "whatever" gift for me without thoughts. Should I say something or am I being ridiculous? Instead of him buying a boat and building a workshop, I feel like $5k should go to what he wants and $5k should go toward a new wedding set. He doesn't seem to think that's a good idea. All for him. I would not have anticipated if he hadn't said so when he bought the first set. It's not about the rings. It's the fact that he wants all his money to be his money and my money to be our money. That's what's hurtful. I think we should share equally. I'm not being selfish because I have more to share.

My husband is mad the oral sex has stopped, but he doesn't turn me on anymore. He used to court me and compliment me and make me feel sexy and desired. Now he just expects things and doesn't say thank you. I can't remember the last time he's told me I look nice, let alone sexy. I can't muster up the energy to do oral because I'm not feeling the sex in general…

I am looking for advice on how to "get it through his head" that I want these details to stay private. I have already explicitly told him to please not discuss this issue with friends and family, but he "forgets" and does anyway. My husband and I are in our mid 30s and are a bit later to the trying for a baby game than the average first time parent. It's been about two years and I am currently seeing a fertility specialist. My answer to nosy friends and family inquiring when we will have a little one running around has always been "we are thinking about it, and we'll let you know once it happens!" - that has been the answer for about 2 years now. I'm obviously upset we've been struggling, and my husband claimed to understand and said we would keep the struggle private. But my MIL recently humiliated me at a family gathering by answering for me when another person asked when would we be having a baby. She ignored me and just said "Jeff said they're trying and it's not happening" - Jeff of course is my husband. He later confessed to telling his family about our struggle to conceive and doesn't understand why I am upset he went against my wishes and told them all the details. Now going forward, he is saying he doesn't understand why we are being private about it and that he forgets to keep it private because "we have nothing to hide" but as the woman who's body is failing her, I really wish he would respect my wishes not to blab this around. Any help? Thank so much.

I won't a family however finding a girlfriend and future wife is next to impossible. I'm 30 and I've never been in a relationship but I want to start a family. The problem is talking to women is not something I'm even remotely capable of doing I've tried it and all I really do is start some meaningless small talk where she looks up from her phone to answer me then I talk again and again until it gets uncomfortable for the both of us. In all honesty I really don't blame them I'm pretty unattractive and there are hundreds of men out there better looking than me. However I have always dreamed of one day having a wife and son. I'm considering getting a mail order bride. If I get her American citizenship and have sign a prenup I think it will be okay. What do you think? PS Please don't send me hateful remarks any insult you want to throw at me I can guarantee you I've already called myself so we can just skip all that thank you.

He says that he was going through a phase of depression, he is late 30's she is 19. Claims they had a lot in common she was also depressed and needed someone to talk to. He says that I was always nagging him (which is true) he says that it was therapeutic for him to get away and go to this young lady's work place to talk.He has been talking to her sporadically via text on and off for a couple of months. I found the credit card statement and questioned the charge.

my fiancé would not stop touching me and he was trying to finger me and i told him no stop and he keep trying to and i was trying to move his hand and everything and he keep doing it

If you are mature, done with college, financially stable, emotionally ready, and found your soulmate.... why the hell not!? Why do people insist that anyone under 25 got married too young. It's really annoying and it makes them look arrogant and ignorant. Divorce statistics aren't an excuse though, there are plenty of people who aren't part of the statistics. Whoever is changing my category, please stop. My question belongs under the category "Marriage & Divorce" due to the content of it. Please stop changing my category.

I'm so hurt right now. Advise please? My husband and I have been together for 3 years and we have a two year old. since we've been together he drinks alot, and every time he drinks we fight and he says he's not going to stop drinking because it makes him feel better. His mother also passed away 2 years ago which he is struggling with as well and he also says that I don't make him feel like a man because I want him to pick up his clothes off of the floor and also because I listen to my dad about getting a battery at a certain place. And I didn't listen to him. He also says that my mother should have put a warning label on me and that I'm Way too difficult for him to deal with anymore, and that he wants someone that he can have fun with and drink with. and has asked me for divorce, I'm really having a lot of trouble coping with this.

After childbirth, I hear alot of neglect, rejections (or even not interested in intimacy) from wives that men face in marriage. And the most typical comments are to make her feel special, do all the chores, make her feel happy, tend the baby, etc. All this doesn't work and is a waste of time. So can you divorce your wife for not being interested in intimacy? After 2+ years of child birth, should be more specific. What's delusional about this? Ahh, never though depression can takeover. Thank you Mrs. Frankstein for kindly answering and helping me understand. No, not right after childbirth, I hit submit before adding additional details. She's always upset with everything I do and its not fun to deal with. One wrong move and we would have arguments (with her very upset at me). I am not sure how I can deal with this for the rest of my life and my work stress is shooting up because of unstable job. This is our first child if that helps. I'll give counseling a shot but bringing this up will be a challenge. Thanks sinead for not getting angry (unlike the rest) and helping me understand. I was frustrated before posting this question but now regret it. This goes to the user Success: You can leave the country to avoid paying for all that. Good luck with the bills!

My husband has a very strained relationship with his family, his father in particular. I completely understand why he has animosity towards them, they have always favored his older sister and treated him very much like a 2nd class citizen in his formative years. They can also be quite judgmental and critical of his life choices, in spite of his continued success and personal achievement. I must admit though, that I also see how husband played his part in their past troubles. In my mind, they favor his sister because she is kinder to them, she has always been more involved with them/the family while my husband was very rebellious and in many ways a trouble maker as a teen. His mother is a sweet woman, and makes an effort to invite us to all of their family functions. I am often the one who gets the call or the email because my husband won't reply or won't commit when she contacts him. This puts me in an awkward position because all I can say is that "I'll talk to him and have him call you." Often times, he won't call his mother back at all. Regardless of their past, I find this needlessly rude of him. I feel like he either needs to cut ties with them or make some effort to repair the relationship. I would love for him to let bygones be bygones and try to mend the relationship - at least with his mother - but I also understand he has a lot of hurt and resentment towards his entire family. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to handle this?

I've been married for almost 2 years (together 5) and it's no longer fun. When we first met, my husband (like most men) was a charmer and was very into making me feel beautiful. I showed my appreciation (in various sexy and ego stroking ways). The typical cheating, lying, secretiveness has caused riffs in our relationship before we were married. I would tell him about how it affects me emotionally and physically. Doing research on our love languages, I feel my sexiest when I'm protected or given affirmations of love. He speaks in touch and affection. Though I understand mine takes more "work," it was effortless and without question when we were dating. It doesn't help that I have a past with abusive relationships so I always fall into the role of passiveness and usually don't get what I want. Recently, I've started focusing on myself and self-esteem so that I'm more confident within our sex lives and being open with him. When something arises that should call for him to support me, he shoots it down and belittles me for focusing on myself. Then when I'm uncomfortable around him for it or try to express that I'm not feeling my best or sexiest, he shoots it down and doesn't want to hear it. I literally have to tell him "I'm doing this work within myself so that I'm comfortable around you" for him to accept it. I'm trying new things and trying to feel better within my skin and when I start feeling good, he makes me regret that I do. How do I work on myself and not lose it?

We both are jobless now... Well, he's been looking for a job for 6 months already while I decided to do my won gig, working from home so I can rest well and get pregnant. However he was let go 6 months ago and things didn't go as planned. He keeps blaming me for not taking MBA school. I've told him MBA isn't for me...I'm a designer, a right brain; hence MBA doesn't interest me at all...not even when I was in college and had to complete economy/accounting classes. He just can't understand me and says that I don't want to learn; and that everyone should understand business. I'm so depressed...I don't feel loved... Can't I just have my own opinion? Clearly MBA is not something that I will enjoy. I took some business classes to see if I like it or not and I did not.

Hello, I have a problem and I feel like Im stuck. Im 22, my husband is 25 (don't judge). We have no kids, just 2 dogs. We've lived alone before, had 2 apartments prior to buying a house with my inlaws. the house is under both my husbands and my name. His parents provided the down payment & money for the inspection work, ect. The problem is that they don't like my dogs. I feel like they're trying to push me or convince me to get rid of them. yes, they're somewhat of trouble makers. theyre both 2 years old, they bark, whine, ect but that's what dogs do. My husband is siding with his parents, they convinced him that they're headaches or whatever. I don't want to give my inlaws attitude because they are my inlaws and even if I don't like them, I will respect them. I tell my husband that I want a house of my own where the dogs wont be mentioned at every diner. he would rather stay with his parents and help them out. I get it, they're his parents. but what do I do? do I get an apartment myself? do I voice my opinion? they're all going to gang up on me ( they've done this before). do I wait it out? the last thing I want is to get ride of them or cause problems with my husband and his parents. im stuck. before anyone would like to mention, I am very responsible with my dogs. they have a yard and get plenty of exercise when I take them jogging with me. its one dog in particular that thinks he's a 10lb baby when he's a mastiff mix. super friendly, too friendly that he will bark and jump when someone comes in. other than that, they are trained and obedient,

My husband and I have been together for 3 years and we have a two year old. since we've been together he drinks alot, and every time he drinks we fight and he says he's not going to stop drinking because it makes him feel better.

Asking for a friend. But he cannot file for divorce. Married for 30+ and his house is worth at least $4-5 Million. He worked his *** and made that all by himself. There is no way she's getting a half of which she did not invest not even 1% in. Everything in receipt is in his name. Yet, marriage law prevents him from getting away. Any advice? No change of working it out, she's stubborn. He's retired. Earns more than him. Need something legal.

How do you explain to your husband that once he cheats on you, denies what he's done, then two times you, you can't just love him the same way again? I mean, i love him. But i lost that part of me that will never come back. I lost that trust in him ( i still trust him, but it will never be the same way). I lost the faith in him, heck, sometimes now he's doing things to cheer me up like buying me items and stuff... But i just dont appreciate it as much as i used to..... How do i explain that to him? Because i told him exactly what i wrote, and yet he doesnt understand.

How do I deal with a manipulative woman? Hi, I'm married and have come to the conclusion that my wife is very manipulative. It seems she always plays the victim whenever SHE starts a conflict over something so trivial. She can NEVER blame herself but always seems to blame others and guilt trips a lot of people. I use to have many female friends before we were married and she was uncomfortable about it, even had a confrontation with one of them I have always been and always will be a loyal man and I love my wife with my soul. Over time I stopped talking and hanging out with my female friends in respect to my wife. But what I don't get is that she can go nuts and start accusing me of having all these "hoes" but if I even joke about saying a guy likes her she goes nuts and says I'm jealous and don't trust her.

Well me and my husband had my daughter a year ago and havent did nothing but have our daughter when we get out i still have my daughter he goes out wit friends but i just be with my baby all the time dont get me wrong i love my baby to death but dont everybody need some me time i never let no one watch because he dont want nobody to is this controlling or what or do he just want me to be a house wife

cause he has to watch his stuff, He works fixing bikes and small motors and has a lot of parts and tools & stuff and has had to build up his inventory he says at least 4 times in his lifetime (he's 35) after having things stolen, I understand they are important to him and he doesn't want to have to rebuild again but hurt they are more important than me, am I wrong to feel that way? am I being selfish?

My ex found a new woman which is fine. We have been apart for 7 years and have a 10 year old. Our child is not ok with it. She is feeling replaced and I am still single because she has actually been diagnosed separation anxiety and OCD due to the changes in family. She clings on to me and follows me around the house. I am always being made fun of. He kicked me out of his house and kept half of my things. So, I am renting a small apartment and he makes fun of me with his wife about that. He laughs at the fact that I still have his old furniture. He makes fun of me for being single when really I don't want to traumatize our child with another man "replacing" my love for her. I only work part-time because I can not afford daycare. Our daughter is in therapy, and he and his wife came over for only one session. All they could do is laugh (under their breath) about how they were sitting on his "old couch" and about how small my place is. I am tired of being made fun of. What can I do? I could easily find a man and start a new life, but that would hurt our daughter. Thoughts? Legal custody order. I have 60% he has 40%. I can't just run away and have to maintain contact about homework, grades and so on.

. During the time of our marriage I've found out that he had been cheating on me with several different women while we were together. He use to cheat on me with escorts etc. And yes with it happening in the past, he just apologized and after about 2 days we were back good. He's 29 and I'm 22. Even though I knew he would cheat on me,, I was a full time student so I really didn't have any income and I moved away from my family. So I believe he thought that he could control me. Now I have graduated from college, employed and now that I am slowly getting myself together...I do not have the feelings I once had for him anymore. He cheated on me in August and he cried to me (which he had never done before) but i didn't feel like it was sincere. He was crying because he got caught cheating with an escort again and I could leave him. We've been going to counseling and I believe that he's genuinely changed but I am having a hard time forgiving him for everything he's put me through. I do not feel inlove with him anymore. Of course I care about him. I just feel like when I was down you treated me like crap and acted better than me. But now that I have a career now and Im having an income coming in...I just have anger towards him. I don't want to cheat on him but I am unhappy. I forgot to mention that we have a 3 year old daughter. I want to make this marriage work but I just have anger and sexual desires that I want that my husband just doesn't fulfill. I feel trapped and desperate.

Today while I was cleaning, I found a camera, when I asked him about it he admitted he set it up, and had it connected with his phone to watch me to make sure I don't cheat. I've never cheated on him, never gave him a reason not to trust me, but he accuses me of sleeping with his father, my father in law who is older than my grandfather. He's even accused me of sleeping with my brother. He tells me it's because his head just goes with what ifs and it makes his head go crazy. He also has a horrible temper, he tore the house apart, throwing everything around last week, and threw my jewelry box today. I believe in marriage, and that marriage means you stick by someone no matter what, I don't know if I should go with what I believe and stay, or just get out. He wasn't like this when I married him

My husband and I have been together for 5 years. He is 24, and I am 25. He is a construction worker as of the last 9 months, but is taking night college and won't have a degree for what he wants to do for a career for another 2 and a half years, so what he's doing right now is all he can really do until then.. He hates working construction and is always miserable about going to work, and is just negative when he comes back from work. The thing is, Since he was about 16, he has been selling steroids. At 20 he had his own lab, and was supplying steroids in a high volume to wholesalers and was making over twelve thousand a month. I didn't really like it, and always wanted him to stop. So he finally gave it up for me last year and had no choice but to get a real job..Now he makes $3000 a month right now, and ever since he gave that up he has been miserable. He was always very happy and postive before and we would always live in new apartments and ate at whatever restaurants we wanted to eat at every day, and now its very different. In a way I feel it's more fault, he was so happy before but now he's just miserable all the time..

We love each other so much. This is only for he fun of it. She is so hot and would like to give it a try but thinks she would look like a slut and doesnt feel good about it.

Basically what I wanna know is, how likely is it that they get divorced, what are the stats on this? I ask this because I have a cousin getting married in a few weeks after dating this guy her mom introduced her too. They only dated for less than 4 months and now they're getting married. I think it's a recipe for disaster considering she's only 17 and the guy.is 19. They basically rushed into marriage but I haven't been able to find any info on this. Your answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Recently I've started a new job. One of my of workers is a 25 year old man who was just married a month ago. Every time I see a wedding ring I've been in the habit of immediately placing them off limits, which is what I attempted to do with him. My problem is that we immediately connected. I was in a two year relationship at the time, which I ended for several reasons, but also because I knew I was being emotionally unfair to him. This married man has been having issues with his wife/girlfriend for a long time. From what he told me, he essentially married her as an ultimatum. She has a lot of anxiety and depression and is not currently working/looking for work. He suggested counseling (1 month into their marriage) but she was reluctant and told him that he needed to pursue it if he felt that way. We've been close, but recently he's told me he's falling in love with me. (I'd be a liar if I said I didn't feel the same way). I backed off and told him he needed to be divorced if he ever wanted to be together. He respected my decision, and recently told me that he is going to ask for a divorce. I just wondered if anyone has ever been the other woman /reason for a divorce and actually ended up happy? I truly haven't ever felt this type of connection with someone before. It goes far beyond lust. *we have not slept together. We have cuddled a bit but I broke things off due to the circumstance.

My wife failed to mention that she was previously married and is now legally divorced. She has been divorced for 12 years and chose to answer that particular question on the application that she hasn't been previously married. She does have a legal divorce decree. Do I need to go to my county office and rectify this or is this still a valid marriage. This is in San Mateo County California where we got married and issued our certificate.

My wife has gained weight recently and I'm not sure what to do about it. It happened gradually over the last few months and now it close to the point where she wears her (prior) loose fitting clothes. We've only been married a year and she used to be in GREAT shape, the type of great you would love to see all day, but its like after we got married that she just lost track of that. I wouldn't really mind but neither of us is even close to 30 and we haven't had kids yet. I'm never going to stop loving her, I'm just worried about how bad this thing could get, can I say anything?

I'm five months pregnant and I don't think the baby is my husband's. Prior to my pregnancy, I had unprotected sex with a male friend of mines. I don't take responsibility for that mistake I made, at all. My husband and I had been fighting and arguing all the time, so I cheated on him. We had sex around the same time I slept with the guy with whom I had an affair. When he found out about my pregnancy, he was excited about fatherhood and decided to sign us up for marriage counseling. I made a mistake, and I want to fix it now. I can't abort this baby. I've always wanted a child. What should I do, tell him so he can divorce me?

I'm no prude. I'm just asexual, so I have no desires to have sex. I made that very clear to him when we first started dating. I am, however, confused about my sexuality. I told him that I may be lesbian and prefer sexual pleasure from a female. I cheated on him with a woman to experiment with my sexuality. I had sex with her, and I enjoyed it, so I think that makes me a lesbian. However, I don't want to divorce him because he has been loyal to me and has a good-paying job.

We are in 20's and I call her jalebi bai which means sweet n bubbly
