I'm a divorced childless guy in my 30s. My girlfriend is a couple of years younger than me and is also divorced and has two young children. Not only is she very attractive she also has a very large, nice and normal family and good career. Many of the men she dated or grew up with or in her family went on to become doctors or lawyers and she is very white collar. I'm an average looking guy from a family of immigrants. My family is also not very close, My mother is deceased and my father has mental health issues. Although I make great money and have a degree Im a blue collar guy form not the best neighborhood. My problem is I do not feel good enough for my wife because of our differences. She has an amazing family and life and her kids are great. I just don't feel good enough for her. What can I do to change this?

The reason I'm trying to leave is because my wife always wants drama and thinks that if I talk to a woman at the bar or at work I'm cheating so she then goes on facebook and tells all her friends. She smokes SO MUCH POT IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. But just to top it all off, she uses our kid as a way to get what she wants, saying shes going to leave and take him if I don't do this or that. I want to keep the kid ( Or at least have her be the one who gets to only see him on weekends) because our kid is a guy who should be raised by a guy, not a over dramatic woman who is going to spoil him and raise him to be a brat. Is there attorneys I can speak to? Something?

We ve been married almost two years known each other sense fifth grade. We have an infant son as well. He has a drinking problem and is recently separated from the military. He refuses to work, watch our child, clean, run errands, even let me voice an opinion. He has become increasingly more hateful abusive and heartless. When I ask him if I can sleep in on my day off he will stay up until four am playing video games then refuses to wake up with the baby I will get upset and he will tell me I m talking to deaf ears and he doesn t care about anything I m saying. I m so done emotionally this type of situation is the tip of the ice need. Last winter I was 7 months pregnant and hospitalized over Christmas Eve and day with a kidney infection because he told me going to the hospital was an inconvenience on his family vacation. He did not stay with me or visit me he got drunk and went out to the bars. Like I said tip of the iceberg. I have done everything I can I have supported him loved him held my tongue more times than I can count I work full time do all the house work errands and take care of our infant I don t see the point in staying even for my son when his father clearly doesn t love or appreciate me.

my sister is married to a guy who has 3 kids from a earlier marriage. Whats my title? Am i related to them. If I'm not thats great if I am that's fine.

So my parents are getting a divorce and my mom said that I have to be 16 to choose which parent to go with but when I looked it up it said differently so how old do you have to be? (I live in Texas)

I received ssi and ssdi at age 18. Now im 23. I qant to get married. My fiance doesnt have a job yet. Will i lose my benefits if I get married?

He always leaving and coming bak when I'm all tired and sleepy. like last night he told me he was going to his homie house and he came bak prolly around 1 he left at 7 or 8 but I went to sleep he text me once and then that was all he told me to stay up for him but I couldn't I got sleepy he came bak and this morning he got up got dress and I make breakfast and he had left he FaceBook me showing that he was driving his wife car well he came bak and he wanted his food but it was trashed and he played the game didn't talk to me I took a nap I woke up he was like I'll be back I was about to cook I did but he wasn't here and he still isn't.

She be all hatefully to me becaus I make a mistake and go sleep with dis women. She be all hating, cause dis woman from austryliyah be all exotic on me, an I cant resis her evel femail charms.

I have a very eventful life. My husband and I grew up with bad parent situations. Then when we were older we had to join a training camp so we could be in a rescue team ( for kidnapped kids which we are still a part of). When we were 14-16 we went through many scarring events within the rescue team. It scarred me much more than it scarred my husband. My doctor diagnosed me with PTSD and I cant seam to shake it. Its getting in the way of my life. It makes it hard to go to collage classes and take care of my daughter. I feel like my husband believes im too emotional, because it bugs the crap out of everyone else, I also wonder why it scarred me more? I just need some good advice.

wants me to let her take her to dinner how can I deal with this?

He is moving back in with his parents and I am having to move out on my own. I don t have the money or resources needed to make sure they are cared for while I am at work. His mom doesn t work so she is able to take care of them. I have a full time job and am going to school also. I feel like I m taking the easy way out by letting them live with him and I could be trying harder to have them live with me. I need to stay in school to be able to advance in this world for my daughters but I feel I am sort of giving them up. Of course I would still see them but it feels like I m copping out. What should I do?

I have been married for over 10 yrs, but about 1 yr my wife never has desire to have intimate relation , I must ask 1st it can go for months, I don't want to cheat I am totally not happy any suggestion? thank you.

Ten years,many lies,many cheating. Yes I was pathetic to ever think it would work. He always left for another female. Than always came back, says he tried but trying consisted of never doing anything family oriented,staying on his phone all day.He said he left this time for business/success,He always turned down anything that made us a couple.we never had a friendship,lacked communication, always told me I m childish when I would sit and cry. I wanted things out of life but always helped him, I was a sahm,I wasn t working becus of daycare expense. I got help through the state and even than for 3 weeks of school, he said it wasn t worth him taking a pay cut,even for me going to work around his schedule.He tells me I never grew,I ve always been a mother, went to school twice before, but I just never landed a good paying job in his eyes.im very family oriented.He left,than magically started seeing another woman, when he sees the kids he rushes,he works two days and says he s busy but than he ends up at the gym/sleeping late I just don t understand why they leave a family to go hang out at a bar with some girl He left,still wants to have ya know that I say no to, still wants family time, wants to see the kids which is good but he only spends an hour with them claims he broke, but goes buys stuff for him & his new girl.trys to tell me he bought those things for me,I applied for child support, he doesn t want set days,tells me I m spiteful.He claims he wants his family.dk wtd

What happens if two people of different races are half-siblings and they don't it and they get married considering the state they get married in doesn't require to get a blood test and they find out their half-siblings after they have their first child what happens to the marriage would the marriage automatically become invalid or what. because most states don't require a blood test for people to get married.

What i mean is which states require blood tests an which states don't require blood test before people get married?

is it wrong for your spouse to judge her, and in a drunken rage, to call her "some sort of heffer"? Please and thank you, for understanding my pain.

Met my current partner 8 years ago and thought he was a good fit. It ended up he wanted a prenup if we were to marry because he had inheritance plus a job. Its not my ideal of a marriage so I refused. Life had been quarrelsome at times due to the fact that he didn't want to commit. I went through therapy in order to stay peaceful with him. Then he lost his job 2 years ago but ironically my career excelled. I'm not sure if he just started to have time to give our relationship more thoughts or he is completely practical given his new financial situation. He mentioned marriage a couple of times but I ignored it. Practically speaking, marriage isn't at my advantage b'cuz my money will be new money that is made during marriage while his money is inheritance which, in CA, can't be divided at time of a divorce. I made up my mind marriage isn't for us anymore. However, the relationship isn't about love anymore either. Part of the reason we stay is because my 10 year old son and him are attached; and part of the reason is we're lazy to change. Holidays are sad days for me because I never truly feel I have a family. If I stay, we're doing daily things together; If I leave, nothing happens. If I die, he can't get my SS and likely my out of state family will have to take care of the aftermath; if he dies his family will have the right to do whatever. Not me. Everything seems setup for an easy split. This is not called a family. When holidays are celebrating being with family, I feel sad.

So my ex and I have twin daughters that are 9. Recently in the last 6 months my ex mother in law sent me an add request on fb. I accepted. I don't have anything to hide. Today she sent me this text "Happy Thanksgiving to you your family and give big hugs to Brooke n Anna. We miss you today. Love from grammy" I think she meant to say we miss THEM today. My ex and I have been apart for about 6 years. We don't really talk about anything personal. She was kinda shocked when she found out I was getting married again. We didn't have the best relationship when I was leaving her son. I still love my ex very much and I was hoping that she would be coming back around because she wants us to get back together. Thoughts?

Same old story, wife always blowing tons of money but more & more doesn't try & be attractive or place any emphasis on our marriage, I'm so ready to move on! Eager to meet someone that's actually interested in me in any way.

I'm a 21 year old I'm 35 weeks and my soon to be ex husband it's 28 . We have 4 yrs together . I'll make this as fast as I can. He didn't have a good job I did and I would pay all the bills on top of that I will do the house chores. He always talked to other girls(cheated) and I was a very good wife to him . I would let him borrow my truck to go to work. I was always the one putting all the effort into us . After I even suffer from domestic violence from him. Honestly I was a GREAT WOMEN! I press charges on him and he will go for assault . This is my question . Will he ever look back and see everything he lost ? Just been curious ! I will never go back to him but I just want to know if he will ever realize what he lost ?! Ps. He has not look for me or ask if I need anything . On top of that he chocked me and I black out at 29 weeks pregnant. And the abused has been going on since I meet him .

I really seriously want to get married . I don't think you can have a good marriage unless you really want to get married and you're willing to work at it . Any woman I get with has to believe that you can't have a good marriage unless you really want to get married and you're willing to work at it . At one point, my friend Tom said "We have to get Mike a girlfriend !" . Tom's girlfriend, Barbara, said "Why ? He seems all right all by himself !" . I should have said "Fine thing calling me a homosexual, Barbara !" in an angry tone of voice . I can't have women thinking "I can't marry Mike because he doesn't want a woman in his life !" . By the same token, I can't fit the stereotype of "Mr . Single Forever" who doesn't want a girlfriend, a wife, or a marriage . My number one rule is that people have to have an accurate picture of what I want and what I believe . How do I let people know I want to get married ? Thank you in advance for your answers .

So I found myself in a strange predicament. I've been married 7 years and until about a month ago I thought my marriage was doing pretty well and was chugging right along. That's when my wife hit me with a bombshell. She started by asking if I'd be okay with an open relationship. While we had entertained the idea a year before neither of us seemed comfortable with it when it so it was my impression we decided it was out of the question. But still my first instinct at such a question is to ask her who she has in mind. She claimed she had nobody in mind. So I told her no, I don't think it would be a good idea and explained that I thought that question had already been answered. That's when it got weirder. She claimed the reason she asked was because she was hoping that I would find someone else and move on. I didn't know what to say other than "Why would you want that?". She claimed it was because she didn't feel the same way about me anymore. That the romance had gone. I rationalized and told her that's normal. I explained that nobody is as passionate in their marriage after a couple of years. In fact there's thousands of psychology programs aimed at helping people cope with that it's so common. She answered by saying she doesn't want to be with a man anymore, she wants to be with a woman. I've known since long before our marriage that she was bisexual. She also said that she feels guilty every time we have sex (which is rare at this point). I'm not sure how to process this I know that she has been watching a lot of Greys Anatomy and Orange is the New Black religiously. To the point where if she runs out of new episodes she watches reruns, it's pretty obsessive how much she watches that. She has mentioned that she is very invested in some of the lesbian relationships and will cry for an hour or more if they break up in the shows. I brushed it off as a weird thing she does with soap opera's but now I think I should have been paying closer attention. The thing that took me by surprise is that a day earlier she had been talking about how she can't wait to buy a house and we can each have our own rooms. And to this day she still talks in terms that we'll be together in the future. I've asked her from time to time if she wants a divorce and she's said no, not right now. But for the last month it really feels like we've just been biding our time. The thing that makes me afraid is I have two wonderful children with her. And I know how seldom divorcee dads usually get to see their kids. Plus I'm in massive amounts of student debt still and the thought of paying for a divorce on top of that is a little daunting. But like I said it really feels like we are biding our time until it's more convenient. Especially since she doesn't have a job at the moment. She also said that she feels like we are really good friends, but not lovers. Damn Yahoo for their ridiculous character limits. There is a lot of relevant information to get down here.

I personally don't like kids at all, and I have no intentions of ever having any. But lately I wonder, will anyone ever want to marry the girl who doesn't want a family? I feel like a lot of guys probably want to be dads someday but what if I date someone and I can't give that to them? Are there people out there who are like me and don't want kids? Or am I hopeless?

So to make a short story long, my husband and I have been married for four years. When we got married we were both very strong Christians. About a year and a half ago I stated to doubt my faith and now I am an atheist, and since my deconversion a few of my morals have changed and the one we fight about it the fact that I now fully support gay marriage and the LGBT community. Ok so about 6 moths ago my teen brother moved it with us and then about a month ago he came out as pans sexuall. My husband doesn't like it but doesn't say much, but now my brother has a boy friend and we've been telling my husband thst his bf is just his straight friend.my husband and I don't keep secrets and it's eating me up thst I'm lying to him but I think that his opinion shouldn't keep my brother from being happy and finding love, if my husband finds out they are a couple he will forbid them from seeing each other at all and I don't want that and I don't know what to do.
