I'm originally from a tribe in Africa. Marriage was a spiritual thing, not a government thing where I was from. My mom and dad called themselves husband and wife. But there isn't anything legal about their relationship. I moved to America by myself when I was 18. I am 22 now. I speak English well because I was already learning English as a young child. I'm not a fan of US marriage laws. I hate how many times Women get the better end of divorce settlements or child custody. I'm not a fan of the paper works and divorce paper works. I'm not a fan of many things when it comes to marriage and laws. I would like to get married one day but I don't want government involved. Is that possible? Can I still have a wedding even though Legally it doesn't count and it's more of a spiritual ceremony? Can I still call the woman my wife socially/professionally etc even though Legally she isn't? Thank you

I have tattoos, would that make it better or worse?

My mother is currently trying to file for divorce, and I am currently a senior in a Pre-Law Academy at my high school. I'm 18 years old. Am I allowed to fill out these papers for her, and lost myself as the person completing the forms?

I am 22 and everyone around me is getting engaged, pregnant, or married. I would love to be 30, happily married and have a baby or be pregnant lol. Hawaii is the same way.

My wife and I are separated, but supposed to be working it out. We split because she was talking sexually to another man. We recently had custody mediation and afterwards tells me she talked to him about it. She confesses to video chatting, callling, flirting, and talking to him about dating...but told him we were working things out. She says theres nothing emotional or sexual there and that she needs him for hervanxiety...because he has it too. Talks to him on fb everyday...but nothing is there. She also said my friend messaged her on fb, called her a whore and unfriended her. He said he didnt. She also said our daughter told her my mom was saying bad things about her mother...but my mom says otherwise. Why does she lie and try to manipulate everything? We re separated, why not just tell them truth?

I was in my living room and was leaning against a table and it felt really good. I kept pressing myself up against it. Later that night I masturbaited and I feel wrong because I orgasmed really hard but my husband was supposed to be the one to pleasure me in the future when I am married, not the hot dog I used. What do I do? If it is wrong, than how do I satisfy my sexual thirst?

When I got married I didn't put down a new last name, I changed my mind about having my maiden name, how do I go about changing it?

I caught my wife talking about me negatively to a male friend of hers. I confronted her about it and she deleted the whole conversation but didn't apologize and got mad at me for looking at her phone. FYI she's snooped in my phone multiple times.Why did she do this?

Is it abusive to tell your wife she's acting like a b?

Wife call me papa because she is pregnant and I'm gonna be a dad but is there any nickname I can call her that relates to her almost being a mom ?

My husband is driving me crazy. My husband thinks he's a house wife and that by playing one he's doing me a favor. I wake up sometimes to find him either loading laundry into our washing machine or dryer. Other times I find him sweeping the floors while the laundry is going. He goes with me to go shopping saying he doesn't want me carrying heavy bags when I have a few extra items them usual on my shopping list. I'm at my wits end because if he really wanted to help me he could go out and get a job. My husband use to work as a plumber for apartment buildings and before that he was working in a warehouse. He ended up having to retire due to back problems preventing him from kneeling down to get to pipes and arthritis in his hands. I can clean my own house and do my own laundry and I've been doing the grocery shopping on my own for years even when I had to take our three kids with us when they were too young to stay home alone. His retirement is due to run out at some point and I would like to know he has something planned for when that happens. I've seen him working on his resume like he has all the time in the world, by the time he finally updates everything we'll probably have a few dollars left in our account and not enough time for him to send it out and get replies with how the job market is. He needs to drop his house wife act because its not helping me. Looking for work will help me. He can enjoy his retirement he has to have everything together to look for work.

He had apparently been lying to her for two years telling her the big center stone in her ring is a genuine diamond. Today, she learned that it is in fact fake. She also learned that he DELIBERATELY lied. It wasn't an honest mistake on his part.

I'm deeply in love with this woman. we're both freshman, but trust me, we're in love. I talked to my pastor. We want to get married, but my mom won't agree to let us get married because she's hardcore catholic(I'm also a girl). I'm so in love that I know I need to do something about it(I don't know how to explain this). What do I do???????

I posted earlier and had ONE sassy answer that wasnt helpful at all, so PLEASE advise. Within the last 6 months i have caught my husband eating the particles from his nose and eyes. We have been married for 13 years and i have never saw this behavior before. We are both in our 40's. I am sincerely sick to my stomach to have to ask this question and seek advice. I have spoken to him, he lies and says his nose is dry and he is just wetting it. Have you experienced this or know anyone who has, how do i deal with it? Please help me, I pride myself on saving marriages and have been a y/a member for 10+ years thus I have a Top Contributor Vadge. Thank you so much for helping me. @BENTLEY...i would love too but he also eats the crust from the corner of his eyes. There is just no way this is innocent. He EATS this matter. Thank you though.

Hello, I want to help my friends ask. They are homosexual LES, and they live in Shanghai now, one of them prepare to study doctor of medicine in America, and they also want to marry in the US. At the moment, they live in China so they do not have SSN, green card or ID card. So could they allow marry in the MA? If they can, what about application steps and materials preparations? Thank you so much!

What can I do in this situation? She is from Wyoming and I'm in California. She choose to move to Cali with me and now she is threatening me to move to montana without me and I won't see my son anymore. Keep in mind that she just doesn't want to stay where we are and that would be her only defense in divorce court. I have a job and bills tied to where we live so it's not practical for me to just leave. Is there anything I can do or is this a lost cause and let her leave. Ps not ever seeing my son with hurt pretty bad. He is 1 month and some days.

My wife has this idea that most women care so much about their cars until when they see their man doing something to his car they want him to do the same with their car. I'm in the process of upgrading my lights to all LED in my truck and my wife thinks that I should buy the parts to do hers. I told her that women (most) don't care whether they have LED or halogen lights in their car. She's mad that I won't buy the bulbs for her car claiming that a true caring husband would do it without asking. This is the same wife who bought the POS car that was older than the one she had because she was tired of fixing her car that was paid for. She works a full time job, just like me, but when she wants something for her car I'm suppose to buy it "cause that's what husband's do." She's mad because I won't go find a noise she's hearing in her car. It's 14 years old so it's going to make noises. It's not going to ride like an $80k brand new BMW. Do "real men" always hook up their girl's / wife's car simply because they are doing theirs? She always complains that I don't just up and jump to work on her car. In the past 14 years she's paid for an oil change maybe once. But, she has a problem with that because I tell her that if she wants me to change the oil on her car she could at lease go buy the supplies. Again, in her mind, the man is suppose to purchase all the supplies for her car AND do the work. She's just suppose to drive it and look pretty.

Why is he starting to act mean? Like if it has to do with our daughter. He won't give me our daughter's ballet clothes back for practice? LOl Is he upset at her now? He gets her every weekend as they have a good time. However, she left her clothes over his house, so I asked if we could have the back and he's been ignoring my calls over ballet clothes? Is asking for her gear too personal, is that why he's ignoring me? It wouldn't make sense for her to have to buy new stuff, with him withholding our 3 year old's clothes. People seriously get upset at the smallest things! What's your experience with divorce? You guys get mad at your partner for discussing your child? LOL

particles from his nose and eyes? He does this often, usually hiding from me but I have saw him several times. He will place his finger in his nose then lick his finger. He will also do this with eye matter. Has ANYONE ever dealt with this or what would YOU do if you saw this? Please advise, this is ruining our marriage. We have been married for 13 years. We are both in our 40's. Thank you for your time and I apologize tremendously if this disgust you. I just need help PLEASE!! Rebecca...I have only saw him do this for the 1st time within the last 6 months. EVER! So if you could advise in a way that was helpful, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

i was freaking out about a custody battle with my ex. so i went on his Facebook because i had a really bad feeling, when i did so i found messages between him in a group of people plotting to get full custody of my daughter. including someone acting like they will help me, calling me "the *****", etc. even a message that states "you think she will freak if i did this_____" and many other horrible things. can i use this in court.

Firstly let me clear it that although he is cheating on me but still i love him a lot n cant leave him Me n my husband are married since 10 years n have 3 kids. We spend time together, love, laugh, have sex n does what a normal husband wife do. He was friend with his ex-colleague but last year i found out that hes more than a friend to her. He has started talking to her a lot. Hes hiding it from me n whenever i ask he lies. I know hes having an affair. He even meets her. My question is that why do married men cheat? We are having healthy relationship, we have kids, a pleasant atmosphere at home, have sex. I do everything to please him. Where the hell am i wrong? Please no rubbish comments

Since my fling, I just cannot get to orgasm even though my husband is a skilled lover and could always bring me off in the past, I am having to fake it so he doesn't get suspicious. His penis is smaller than my lovers and I keep focusing on that, I want more.

Going to counselling for marriage issues and the therapist asked us to be honest and tell each other all our secret emotions. My lover was amazing and I have used the exciting sex memory many times to get off masturbating and whilst having sex with my husband. Dare I tell him to help fix our current problems or will it just make it worse?

Background: we are both 29years old, when we first met we did things together such as dining out, bars, hang with friends etc of course we where both single. after a year of dating he wanted to get married i thought he was ready to settle down bc he wasnt going out or doing the clubs or bars alone he was with me most of the time he would reject bars drinking with buds etc..it was after i found out i was preggo is when he started his behavior. he would go out to bars, leave me home alone etc. I thought he would change after the baby was born but instead he continue his behavior shortly after my son was born i found out i was pregnant again.biggest mistake ever, i was seeking an abortion but he begged me not to and wasnt going to help pay for it which now its to late. Im now five mths preggo to make the matter worse i found out he's doing cocain behind my back he lied about doing it when i confronted him about it. I have tried to have a civil conversation with him about his drinking, drugs and going out to bars but he always makes me feel like I'm being selfish or controlling his life gets upset storms out leaves for hours and comes back drunk.. I don't know what to i do. When I met him i was done with that life. i graduated with my associates in CJ and was attending classes at an university for my bachelors .. Im now putting my dreams on hold to stay home.. My question is should i leave or am i over reacting? Will he chang what did i do wrong for him to treat me line this?

Because the way the models are holding the pizza boners, with white, gooey sauce (it's supposed to be cheese) dripping off their lips, and sauce splattered on their faces, there is no way those women are wives.
