Husbands brother ignores him completely. He won't even look at him when he talks to him. There's no real reason to be mad at him honestly. Small story short... his brother and wife have caused problems in my marriage with my husband. They have theartened him they won't talk to him if they can't pick my kids up from me. They have said mean things about me to him, etc... list goes on. So my husband doesnt always hang around them like he uses to. Maybe that's why. ?? He seems to use passive aggression to try and make my husband feel guilty. How do I help my husband understand that his brothers actions are immature? Thanks!

I have a new baby girl and I have to go to office everyday while my wife takes care of our baby. I must say that I have never felt as happy before. Whenever I see my cute baby, I feel exhilarated. I never had this feeling before. So much of joy inside my heart and there is no room for it anymore. Why do you think that is?

Ok, I got married back in august and am very happy. My wife and I had a 5year endgagement. We were both married before and we both have grown children from our previous marriages. We are both well into our 50's. Now my step daughter who is 25 lives with us. She is beautiful, has a good job, a nice boyfriend and we really don't have anything to complain about. My only issue is that I feel like she really just tolerates me. Her dad is still alive and lives near by. I have met him and have talked to him many times. We get along just fine. I just feel like it would be nice to have a little better relationship with her. I'm not expecting a buddy buddy relationship but at least something more than hi and bye. This may seem silly to some but, have you ever gotten bad vibes from someone like they really don't like you but are civil because they are family or you share the same friends? That's how I feel about my step daughter. Now she has never said anything rude to me or evr gotten mad at me but I still get a bad vibe from her. You know like when someone smiles at you reluctantly. I have discussed this with my wife and she just blows it off. I don't expect my step daughter to ever call me dad or say she loves me or to even hug me although she has but I feel reluctantly. It just makes me sad. I want to have a little closer relationship with her but I feep like that may never happen. Any thoughts on this?

everythings going to be fine

Is she playing with my mind? We didn't see eachother for 5 years, we share 2 kids, had a bitter divorce, she has a boyfriend, I had another kid with someone else. She was asking me about my girlfriend, was giving me compliments on my looks, we talked about private memories we shared. At first ,the first 10 minutes were tense but we talked it out and went to laughing. She looked more beautiful than ever too. I kept thinking I wanted to kiss her. She let me hug her multiple times. We kissed on the cheek. She told me she wanted ME to be the father of her kids. That's a compliment RIGHT? BUT....She wouldnt give me her number or her new address. Also mentioned she married me and mentioned I didn't even ask her...eh? Its true I didn't, it was mutual. All I can think about is her now. It's been a day and since she drove off, I've been missing her.

I am 16 but she just got engaged and plans on getting married in June 2017. They have only been dating for 6 months and I think getting engaged her senior year of high school is stupid. She already picker out the dress and wants me to pick out a bridesmaid dress but here is the problem, I think her wanting to get married so quick is wrong. My brother is 26 and recently got a divorce and he got married at 19. My parents and older brother agreed that her getting married young is wrong. Will she no longer be my friend if I tell her that I think she should wait?

Every time he does this, he does it because I made him angry. He throws things across the room and slams, and he's broken plenty of his things. Because he is mad at me and it is "my fault" I feel like I can't say anything to him about his behavior. So far I just tell him not to. Tonight I said "Why do you act like a child? Do you know kids act like that?" because I didn't know what else to say. He replied with picking up his book and slamming it down two more times knocking down more things from his desk. The result of the argument is that we both are freelancers, and all day he asks me advice or what I think. I don't as often because I just figure it out myself, it isn't anything personal to him. But I had questions for him tonight and today I did ask him a few "how to" questions already, and this is interrupting to him (as is to me when it's the other way around). He got annoyed and didn't want to come over to my laptop to give his advice on my problem (we do website design) and I felt upset because I am interrupted DAILY all day long by him, but I don't always mind it. But where I've had issue today I felt upset that he didn't want to help me... and I just said "you ask me all the time for advice but when it's the other way around you don't care" Not too snippy on my part.. and he just exploded. I feel like I could have done without saying what I said and know he is just busy. And so... once again he just gets away with throwing a temper tantrum. I don't know what to do. Is it too extreme to ask him to leave and stay somewhere else for the night if he is going to act that way? Because so far I'm telling him that behavior is OK. How can he ever see it isn't? In the beginning he admit it was something he always did and "got it from his father" and knows he has to work on it, but that's gone out the window.

I have been with my husband 33 years and married 28 years. 6 months ago I discovered my husbands 4 month emotional/physical affair with a girl half his age. He had stopped the affair a few weeks before I found out. We are still living together, and I'm trying to get passed it because we share a lot of history and if we were to divorce it would financially devastate us both. But I don't feel the same way about him. I don't have any respect for him and I no longer consider him my best friend. WE are friendly and I don't hate him but I just feel like I'll never see him the same way again. I always said I would leave a spouse who cheated on me. But here I am still here. Jay: That is what I'm worried about. I'm 51 and my husband is 53. So I couldn't imagine starting over, but I also don't know if I want to spend the rest of my life unhappy.

My parents had a little fight with my husband when we started dating, and my parents started to want to have a good relationship with him when we ended up getting married but my husband still hated them and didn't want to have a good relationship with them. They have been trying to be nice to him for a few years...invited him to do things with them, offered him things, and gave him money for his birthday but he refused to all and never thanked them for money. He has been not nice to them. He has been not willing to be around my family and we have been fighting about my family a lot for a few years because I wanted everyone to get along. His dad and I had a fight too and I don't like his dad but I was being nice to him and let him come over our old apartment and am willing to be around him because he is my husband's father and I loved him and tried to be a good wife. But he won't do the same thing to my family for me. I did everything for him and there are some things I didn't like but I did them for him. Is my husband supposed to do the same for me....do everything for me too? Is this not normal?

My parents always had complications a little after marriage. Both sides of family members of my mom and dad had a bad past which caused me and my older brother to get out into a foster care for adoption with another family (I'm not sure what it's called but another family was taking care of us for more than a week) I thought I would never see my parents again but they went through counseling and got us back. My mom wants a divorce now and says my father doesn't love her, that there's no love. He's never said that though. She's always starting the arguments and problems and it stresses my dad out to where it gets worse. What should I do? Should I contact a marriage counselor/therapist? I'm 19 and now have a little brother who is terrified of everyone splitting up. My mom refuses to see a counselor and always talks about wanting a divorce. What should I do? Please help.

We had a party at a winery and she got drunk. My boss asked me if I can take her home. However, his wife made a pass at me in my car. She told me that I am really hot and started feeling me up and kissing me. Anyways, we had sex and then I took her home. I am going back to work tomorrow and I'm not sure if his wife kept her mouth shut. What should I do?

i was involved in an affair with an older man but i got out of it because i felt used. I am in my mid 20s and I'm glad that i made the choice of getting out because he is married and I think he was only using me for sex. but we never had sex as i didn't allow it and he still wishes we had intercourse, still never happened. he would use excuses like 'I'm bored' or he would say things like he is not excited about doing this stuff w/his wife, he gave me gift cards to a spa but i never used them as I don't want to bring any memories of what we did together. He would also say to me that he loves me which figure he probably didn't. We met at a church that i no longer attend. But luckily i was never caught for having the affair w/him. I'm' glad that i never got caught doing something like this. Now I'm in college and i work as a cashier at a grocery store and loving it. I am glad i made the choice of getting out of it but any of you had a relationship before but you felt like you were being used?

really hate to See my blood done wrong i got pics and messages from her i stoped answering back cause of it. she does him dirty they have 3 kids he even wants to turn into religion but she as a wife don't support him or respect him treats him like **** what but i at the same time i dont want to be the reason my nephews parent divorce maybe he wont even leave her cause his her toy

Recently my friends mom got addicted to zanix and his parents got divorced. His mom also chested on his dad. My friend is now failing all of his classes because of this. (at least That's what i think) I ask him if hes okay with whats happening and he says he doesn't care. Is he lying?

He has a wife and I don't feel we should be touching, kissing, eating out, hanging out, etc. Esp if he has a wife. I have rejected numerous of times, but he won't take no for an answer. Ikr 1st answerer... I refuse to meet him in person

I met a man a year ago. He was quite distant and not really my type. In fact, he was really weird. He'll be nice to me one day and completely ignore me the next. The problem is we frequent the same place together and got used to seeing each other. There was an attraction there but neither of us acted on it. He's single and I'm married. We shared conversations here and there as acquaintance. His schedule changed recently and I haven't seen him. I realize now that despite the fact I recent him for being a distant jerk, I actually like him and accept him for being that way. I love my husband. But why am I still crushing on a guy who is the total opposite of my husband? Will this pass.?!

Long story short, my wife started a new job and her male coworker gave her his "secret number". After she rejected him, he backpeddled by saying that his wife is the jealous type and he has a secret number so that he can be "friends" with other girls. Even after I discussed this with my wife, she claims that he has become a really close friend and she believes him; now they text each other back and forth all day. Am I overreacting? Thoughts, opinions?

My wife's grandmother passed away this week. They had the funeral today. She's been feeling kind of sad all day. She's worried because she's 4 months pregnant with our son. She feels bad he never met his great grandma. She has a daughter from a previous marriage who is 3 1/2 she probably won't remember her. She doesn't know if she'll be able to sleep tonight. How can I help her ?

A-Support a crazy mature marriage (housewife & kids) working heavy, able to drive, & pay all the utilities, B-Seperated, bored, unable to work/live on own or drive, good parents/family supporting you, rent free, but have a dream bedroom/basement "TOUGH CHOICE?"

Id like to marry my girlfriend before i get into the military next month. Shes currently pregnant maybe 5 weeks. And live the married life for maybe 10 years. I always thought i would have 2 marriages in my lifetime and a kid with each.. and maybe end it single.. Also marriage doesnt sound scary at all if its just your first. And before anyone hates on me (ofcourse i would still spend an excessive amount of time with my child) having Childeren has always been my biggest goal since i was 16 and i am 22 now.

My daughter, Amber, and her cousin Jeffery like each other. I'm outraged! This is disgusting but she's already pregnant and we cannot get rid of the baby so she must get married. What states will allow us to marry these two? if two men can get married then why can't my daughter and Jeffery get married? Also, what vitamins should she take to make sure the baby doesn't come out retarded?

I'm a senior citizen with kind of a dumb question, but I am so curious. Since women no longer take the mans last name when they get married, which last name do they use for their children? If it is hyphenated, what will happen when these kids grow up and get married? For example: a couple have a child her last name is Smith and his is Jones, so the kids last name is Smith-Jones and she grows up and marries Williams-Anderson. Will their daughter be named Chloe Smith-Jones-Williams-Anderson? Then what happens when she gets married?

Ok so I have asked this before but I am not sure if it gets through. I am a married woman that just experienced her first interracial lover (with my husband's permission) and it was nothing short of amazing! I never realized how large these men are nor how amazing they are sexually! My question is this, how many other women have tried this? What were your experiences like? Should I do it again? I can not stop thinking about how wonderful it was physically and how I want to feel so completely full again

Sorry, I meant sex. How much of sex should I share with my spouse? After all I could just masterbate?

I was dating this girl for 6 months, she said we should get married this year so we could be together (I'm in the Army and I'm on assignment). Long story short I found out that she was still married (she said he divorce finalized last year) and the last two months of our relationship she was back with her husband. I haven't heard from her since I found out and its been 6 months, she even deleted all of her social media accounts. Part of me hates her but also part of me misses her. We were really good friends before we got together and I just miss having her in my life. She lied, cheated, betrayed and manipulated me. But the feelings I had for her were real and part of me just wants to let go and forgive her. I still want her to be in my life even if its just as a friend I guess. It's stupid I know and I don't expect anyone to understand. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has ever reached out to an ex that cheated on them? I'm sure she's afraid to reach out to me because of what she did to me. Words of advice?

My boyfriend has a child form his previous marriage. His mother helps him out each month with his bills as he is usually behind in his payments. He is in his mid 30s and has a nice house and car but a lot of debt and high bills. His mother is widowed and will often chip in to help him pay his bills and also buys him his clothes. Sometimes we don't do much because he is strapped for cash and I feel bad so I pay his way but it is kind of getting old because I work a lot too and my parents never helped me with zilch. Is he too old for this?

My husband and I (36, 31) have been friends for 9 years and married for just over a year. Up until marriage, everything was perfect. Within 3 days of the marriage, my husband showed a side of him that I had never, ever seen before. I was at a busy dog park alone, chatting with a guy about, what else, our dogs. My husband called, I answered and said, "Hey, hang on a sec" and turned my head to the dog owner to excuse myself from the conversation. All of a sudden my husband hung up. When I called him right back, he blew up about me talking to another guy, putting the other guy before him, disrespecting him. He showed me an anger and fury that I had never seen in anybody before. I was blind-sided by it. And, as you can imagine, the jealousy and distrust has become much worse ever since. Like I said, I was blind-sided. My instinctive/immediate reaction was to provide him with as much proof as possible to show him his perception was cloudy. But the more I tried to prove myself innocent, the more suspicious he came. And so I traveled through bewilderment, followed by anger, followed by an immense sadness that never really goes away. Adding insult to injury, I am 7 months pregnant and therefore all emotions feel incredibly more raw. I use to worry that I would never be able to turn him away from his rotten perception of who I am as a person. Now, I worry that I will never be able to turn myself around from all that has happened. I feel the love slipping through my fingers. Help?

Not sure what to do. I hope she knows it was a 1 time deal.

They are great friends they DO NOT fight and they get along well just no passion she says.

My fiance and I are due to marry this January and I, like all the woman on both sides of our families, decided to take his surname something I was very excited about until I said both names out loud to myself and realised I don't like how they sound together. His surname is Brescia (pronounced Bresh-uh) and my first name is Freya. I think it sounds silly out loud and I hurt my fiances feelings saying that. Am I over reacting? What do you guys think?

Let's say when you first start in your relationship the sex use to be unlimited on both side. Then after wife got pregnant and move on to live together, then things start changing up sexually . She can come get sex anytime she wants from you, but if you come and do the same thing you might get push away. And you only come to her at least twice a week or twice a month, then still get some complaints. Either she complaints that she was too tired at work in the previous days or you come at her at the wrong time. Because of that, you get sex at least once or twice a month. You think the problem might be you and you went to discuss it with your wife just to please her and find a solution. Unfortunately, it doesn't make any difference. How would you resolve that because you've talking about it too much with your wife and you're tired of being treating that way.

Offensive? Ok with it?

I have been with my husband for 8 years I am currently 5 months pregnant and I feel like im walking on eggshells while dealing with an explosive spouse. He is ALWAYS putting me down, telling me I am worthless. He had me recently quit my job, and now tells me how lazy I am and telling me I better find another job. He screams at me, tells me what a slut I am... All the while I am pregnant and trying not to stress... he hasnt been here for me this entire pregnancy and I feel so alone... My family is not really in the picture and I have no friends anymore because he hates everyone I have ever had as a friend... He is constantly calling me a cheater even though I am home or with my children.... I dont know what to do anymore... I have looked up resources but i dont know what to do... He always comes up with an "im so sorry you know I am bi-polar" Please any advice.
