We just found out that my husband s ex wife and the mother of his kids has cancer. They have two girls. They have been in a custody battle before but agreed to settle it out. She has them during the school year. He pays her child support. With her recent diagnosis we are worried about her ability to care for the kids and herself as well as their well being. We are prepared to help her every way we can but we live 50 miles away and we both work. We have thought about asking her if we can take them for school year while she goes through chemo. I know how hard chemo can be on a person. We are not trying to take them from her and it s not about money. He is still willing to pay her child support, although paying the amount he does now will be hard with them in our house full time. We just want the kids to have as much stability as possible during this difficult time and we want her to be able to focus on recovering. I don t know if this would be best for them or her or if we should even ask. We have the best of intentions. How should we handle this?

My wife and I have been married for 8 years. We've known each other since our freshman year of high school and have been together ever since. We have actually been trying to get pregnant before I have proposed to her. We knew we wanted to stay together but at the time I just didn't have the money for it. Luckily, after 2 years of trying (on and off) we have been blessed with a beautiful baby boy and four years later he was welcomed with a little sister. We are a very, very close family. We have gone on multiple family trips including Disney World, Australia and Tahiti. My wife and I have rarely fought and we would never do anything to be dishonest with each other. However, I can't get jailbreak from the Emoji movie out of my head. She's gorgeous, she's got the perfect body and everyone expects her to be a perfect little princess but she's not. She totally understands me. I would never do anything to hurt my wife. I am not man enough to cheat on the woman (although the idea of me, Alicia and Jailbreak having a threesome does get my heart pounding) so I decided I am devorcing my wife for jailbreak. How do I bring up the subject to my kids?

My kids dad and I were together for 9 years. He would never propose no matter how much I wanted him to. We have two kids. One is 7 and the other is 5. He's a good father. We were on and off. We fought so much. We would make up and break up. He wouldn't even live with me. He would always mention coparenting. He would watch our sons. We finally broke up around 2 years ago in 2015. He met a new woman shortly after. I found out he proposed yesterday on the holiday to her. He NEVER proposed to me. We had two kids together but he couldn't even marry me. I mean the other woman has big breasts and a bigger butt. She's more curvy. Facially, I'm way prettier than her and I'm more educated with more degrees. I even have a better job than her. She's a security guard making an hourly wage. My ex boyfriend is a sergeant in the police. I mean there's a big difference. I'm 31 and he's 35. She's like 27 or 28. I have 3 or 4 years on her but there's no way she's better than me. Our sons really like her a lot. I am hurt when I logged into Facebook and Instagram. I saw her engagement ring. It was very beautiful and clear. I started crying a lot. He kept telling me we could have a family without being married. He kept saying we didn't have to live together. He could propose to her after a short time but not me? Like how could he treat me when I'm his baby mama? I mean we were even having sex still when he and his fiancee got together. Why did he do me wrong??

Lets say the high was 103 in Texas. Your signifigant other says they will pick you up in 45 minutes from the outside. So after 45 minutes you go outside and wait. Where you are you cant get back into ac and you have no drink. They really take an hour and 20 minutes and block your phone number so you cant get an update of how much longer they will be. When they finally arrive they just say, "I get here when I get here, don't apologize or admit any fault at all." How messed up is this?

All it takes is one lie from a woman and you lose your entire life, damn One divorce and she takes the house, kids, and you are cast out in isolation and depression, how did men allow themselves to be treated like this?

I am skeptical about this claim, because although it is not for everyone, some people might want to have a baby on their honeymoon. The person said that she would want to have time alone with her new husband and get to know him more before a baby entered the picture, and it would be a mistake to have a baby so soon because of that. I definitely understand that, but I wouldn't make such an absolute statement like that based on that opinion. What do you think? Please feel free to share personal stories on this subject. I have a hypothetical question about this subject based on the answers I have read so far about this. If a man and a woman in their mid-twenties fell in love and got married and wanted to get pregnant on their honeymoon, then did so, would that be a mistake? The couple in question would have never lived together before and would have not been intimate until their honeymoon. The couple in the hypothetical situation would have well paying jobs and a great home to live in and raise their future children in.

I have a friend named Anna. She's like a sister to me. I've known her a few years before I met my wife. Before we were married my wife was ok with Anna; they were on good terms. Now that we're married, my wife feels threatened by her and thinks Anna likes me. If I give Anna a friendly hug, like I use to before I married my wife, now my wife gets mad. I can understand my wife not wanting us hanging out alone going to get ice cream or something like we use to; but she doesn't want me to talk to Anna at all. She caused a fight with me on Anna's birthday because she felt Anna was flirting with me when she didn't do anything wrong. She told Anna if she's in the room she wants her to talk to her, or both of us. She doesn't want her directing anything to only me. Yet, when Anna talks to us both, or just my wife, my wife ignores her. I know I'm supposed to honor my wife; so, if she sees her as a threat, should I tell Anna we can't be friends?

My wife is having our daughter in September she's really scared. She hates hospitals doctors make her nervous. She had a bad experience in the hospital when she was younger. She was sick for the first few weeks of December a few years ago. She got home a few days before Christmas she was in a new part of the hospital she had new doctors. She had an IV in her leg she never heard of such a thing she was freaking out she hates IV's. She's hated them ever since. She's also terrified of needles. One night when she was in there sleeping a nurse came in a poked her finger she woke up screaming and crying like she was in a horror movie. Since then she hasn't trusted doctors. She's even had nightmares about it. I didn't know her then I feel bad but her parents told me about it. She just went outside to feed her cat then she got sick. She's also afraid to go out in the winter she doesn't go unless she has to. Every time we go for a check up she asks if these gonna be needles. She does not trust doctors at all after what she went through. I feel so bad for her. How can I help her through labor ? She likes to watch stuff about Charles Manson she had a nightmare one night she was in labor the doctors were stabbing her with needles she's also afraid of that. Also next month is the anniversary of the misers wheixh is freaking her out.

My ex husband and father or my children calls each night around bedtime to say goodnight to his kids. At first my husband was fine with this and supportive but now he's getting annoyed by this and told me that the kids are old enough to call their dad if they want to talk to him and they should be calling him not the other way around. Yes the kids are old enough to make phone calls now and do so often but dont really call their dad. My husband also said if my ex was concerned about his kids we would be taking them on the weekends and paying for they health care instead of just making goodnight phone calls. What should I do? My ex husband never takes his kids on the weekends because he always busy but will occasionally take them to dinner once a week or stop by our house every couple of weeks for an hour to visit with them.

We were away on vacation and my wifes ex (who knew we were on vacation) called to talked to their son(who wasn't on vacation with us he was staying with grandma). Btw her son is 7 and perfectly capable of calling his dad whenever he wants as he was using the phone to call us each day during our trip. I was just joking with my wife about it saying he still loved her jokingly and she flipped out on me and got in my face and started yelling at me. Why would she get so defensive about a stupid joke. I can't even joke about her ex being invasive and annoying let alone talk to her about it.

I've been with my boyfriend for over two years and he's been a great role model and parental figure to my son from my previous marriage who is now 7. He's also been an amazing and loyal partner. However the other day we were discussing having kids and he expressed he might be interested in having a child with me. When I met him I told him I was open to it but now I feel complete just having my son and I don't want another child in the picture. My boyfriend says although he cares about and loves my son he doesn't feel like he's his own and he feels like a step parent not his dad. He also says he feels he wants to parent the way he wants to parent which he feels he cannot do with my son. I feel an awful feeling of rejection when he says this as I feel he should love my son like his own child and feel he is his own child since he has been in his life for over two years and was so young when he met him. My sons father is also in the picture still. Should I break up with him as I feel he is being selfish for wanting another child and it is weird he is not open to loving my son as his own.

getting pushed over. Is it better to say no, and no only? I get the feeling that a simple No is more respected because I'm defending my boundaries. When I try to explain my No, she turn it into a guilt trip.

I think my friend who s a newly wed has a strange relationship. For someone who s newly wed, it s normal to be a little obsessive wt each other. But I find her husband a little bit different, he seems off. He spent most of his holiday away from my friend and seem to avoid meeting her. Fyi, they work far away from each other...so they dont get to see each other much. Like yesterday, this guy took a leave but my friend didnt even know about it.Should I consider this a red flag?

Since she is about to ovulate, is there time to recover attraction for a romantic weekend. Should I employ some dread(distance)?

We've been married for five years now we have two small children. I'm 30 and my wife is 39. I'm in the military and my wife stays at home with our children. In the beginning it was ok but now it's just getting annoying. I feel like I'm begging her most of the time and she makes me feel like a pervert for even trying sometimes. I've brought this up the past few years and even recently about a month ago. She will "attempt" to initiate sex but that only last for about a day. This is starting to make me feel like I'm undesired and unwanted especially since my children get most of her attention. Does anyone here have any suggestions.

How to let go of the person who says he loves you but can't be with you... how can I let go of my husband if he no longer wants to be with me ? It's so hard

I work as a teacher in China, while my wife and kids are in Manila. We use video chat and messaging all day long when I m not working. The other night I got a message from my school s recruiter. She asked if I could speak to another English teacher that was thinking about working where I do. She wanted my opinion about the place, the staff, etc. I said no problem. While waiting for that, my wife opened a video call with me. While watching/taking with my wife, I got a pop up message, "That teacher is ready to ask you questions now." I politely asked my wife "Honey, can I call you back in a few minutes, I need to answer some questions about my school for another teacher?" She asked me "Who is asking you?" I told her the recruiter s name and "the one that hired me." "Ok". So I ended the video call and spent 15 minutes answering questions for the new teacher. When it was done, I had a lot of questions from my wife. "Who was that again? Is she more important than me?" I told her exactly what I ve said here, over and over again..."It was a different teacher, asking my opinions. I asked you, before I hung up, if it was ok, and if I call you back" (I repeated this over and over again). My wife said that she feels neglected, that I cared more about that other woman than her (I have all the screen shots from the conversation so anyone can see it s all completely professional). Is my wife over-reacting or am an idiot that can t see what I ve done wrong?

I'm mulatto. I was not racist before but after falling for an openly racist Indian guy I realize that I'm better off sticking to my own race(s). Such as black or mulatto. I used to want an Indian guy but I realize just how racist their culture is and a lot of other races aside from black are racist and look down on black people. I never believed most people were actually racist in thwir personal lives but now its clear as day. I don't want to fall for another race guy again and have to find out he looks down on me for being black or wishes I was a higher up race like white or Hispanic anything but black.

Last year my husband and I married of 2 years went through a miscarriage (blighted ovum) baby just stopped growing and as a given we were both highly devistated. We continued trying to have another one but with us in no protection what so ever it just wasn't happening. I ended up having an affair.. a one time thing with a man who I am now pregnant by. My husband and some family knows of the pregnancy by has no clue that the baby could be any one else's. I'm considering going in and getting the abortion pill and playing it off as a miscarriage.. but I know his heart will be completely broken . I'm hurting so bad and it's horrible to think of my own feelings but I already have a child with the other man so there is no playing it off if the baby comes out looking like my first son. I'm so torn and in great need of advice..

if the husband is being bad ?

This is now a trending topic in my country after a minister said that a 'denying a husband sex is abuse'. Obviously that's nonsense and infringes on the right of the wife to personal freedom and choice. But it got me thinking, how would it be possible for both the parties to reach a mutual agreement in a situation like this? If you're in an Asian society, then divorce won't be the answer simply because losing a lot of things because of sex doesn't seem like a good bargain. I think that the wife should allow the husband to have a healthy sex life with a third party. She's obviously no longer interested in sex, but why deprive him of sex? Perhaps she could make some rules, like "The woman must be a total stranger" or "This must be kept a secret", but ultimately allow him some freedom.
