6 months after our father passed away my mother began dating a series of men. She remarried a guy 13 years younger than her who drinks heavily and smokes pot and doesnt have a legit job, 2 years after my fathers death and became an entirely different person. She now is very materialistic and self centered and extremely shallow and has spent all of the money she got from our fathers will on material things . She also seems annoyed by my brother and I and wants little to do with us unless it involves us getting involved in her drama with her new husband when they fight. Is this strange behavior and why is my mother doing this?

I love my girlfriend I really do but I'd like to date someone with a stable career. When we met she had a full time job she'd just started. It lasted only 5 months. The company went bankrupt. After that, she got a temp job that lasted 4 months. The contract ended and now she's unemployed. She's had a lot of jobs over the years and I'm concerned she may not be able to hold a steady/stable job. I'm 30 years old and I'd like to get married and start a family soon. Am I wrong to consider ending things for this reason?

Give me a honest awnser

I am aware of the once you go black you never go back saying, but if this is true why? I am asking for honest answers here from real white women. Please no fakers. My friend and I were talking about it and we came up with our own opinions, so clear it up please. There are so many white women that will reject you just because you are not black and they will make it clear that they only go out with black guys. Why?

Ok so my ex of a year and a half dumped me right before thanksgiving via text because he claimed our relationship "ran its course" and he was incapable in relationships right now and he needed to find himself again and its better for him to be single" anyways it crushed me cause he was my first love even tho we were on and off for a year and a half we had great times went on vacations , he showed me off to his whole family and at one point he told me i was the one and we almost moved in together anyways so i asked him after a month of him not explaining how things really went wrong i said "hey did you leave me over things lacking in our sex life ? or did i fail to do other things i just hope i did everything to keep us together thats all i wanted " and he responded with " it wasnt sex or anything you didnt do in particular, Im just a complicated person and it simply just didnt work. I hope that gives you some clarity to move on" so exactly what was he trying to say? he's 32 & divorced and im 23 and i feel like a used piece of young a$$ now and like he sold me a dream so was he really just saying he got tired of me? :( he use to tell me that i wasnt on his "maturity level" and i needed to grow up when i said things he didnt agree with and would also make fun of the fact that i would always make him use a condom (im not on birth control) and didnt want to get pregnant and we broke up on our anniversary in august (he cursed me out at a bar) then we got back together a month later and he never told his family he were back together & didnt want me around his family anymore like he use to before we broke up

My husband spend some sexual time with me but a good majority of the time he would rather have sex with his poofy prom dresses he bought over time. I been OK with it because I understand fetishes I have one with fur but it's too the point we have sex with each other about once a week but he will have sex with his dresses about 8-10 times a week in another bedroom. And heading how the dresses get him going makes me hitch but would rather get off with his dresses. Is there a way to get him to have sex with me more?

I see women who've previously dated really great guys who are intelligent, nice, good morals, handsome, etc get really desperate looking to settle down who start dating guys who are far below their normal standards of guys they've dated before.

My ex husband and I have been divorced for 4 years now. My daughter got diagnosed with autism this past summer, she s 4. She has always had a very hard time going with him and tells me she doesn t love him and that she s been with with long enough.(we have 50/50 custody). I don t understand why she has such a hard time spending time with him even after the 4 years. I would like to go back to court and request I get more custody of her. Her father says he doesn t think anything is wrong with her and we should not even get her ABA or anything else because it s too expensive for him. Unfortunately I can t afford a lawyer so I would be representing my self. I also need to save all the money I can for her therapies, etc. Is there any advice anyone can give me on that? What would be a better custody arrangement for my daughter? Do I have a case going back to court? Thanks!

I would like some pet name ideas to call my husband aside from the usual "honey, baby, sweetie" im not very mushy gushy but im trying to change that.. We've been together for 6 years ive never called him a pet name. So any suggestions thats easy and rolls of the tongue, even something in another language would be considered. Thank you

We have been together for like a half of the year. I really want us to be wife and husband. I can see future with him, want to make him happiest man, have children with him. I'm not plannig to get marry right now but after one year or one year and half I really would love to take this step with him. I want to know how to make him want to marry him, how to talk about marriage and don't ruin anything. I know his family and have really friendly relationship with them.

I have been at my job for 12 years working full time Would i be able to collect benefits since my husband job is relocating him.

So I made up my mind that I REFUSE to marry a woman who won't agree to let me be a stay at home dad. How will women respond when I tell them that I want to be a stay at home dad? Will any woman want to marry me?

A guy is 36 and hasn't never been married. The only serious relationship he had he cheated on her. He rents studio apartments and has never owned a house or decent sized apartment and is always moving and switches jobs every couple years. He frequents online dating sites and has met women in their early 20s who live out of state and has also cheated on them. He got into a fight with the last woman he dated and busted his hand punching her car and was also dating other women while dating her. He drinks a lot and smokes pot frequently. He posts old shirtless photos of himself from 5-8 years ago on Facebook as his profile pic. Are these red flags?

We recently met, and she made herself seem single. We flirted a little bit time to time...but I recently found out through a mutual friend that she got engaged on New Years...but hasn't told me. I even asked her how her New Years went, and she said that she had a fun time with her family. That's it. Why is she keeping it a secret from me?

First of all, I already know, learned long ago that I should not have married someone my Sr...it is to late. I married a man that is 15 years older than me, we both had jobs, but...his elderly mother called asked us to move in with her, take care of her until she passes, we would get her home...it was an old home, I worked just part time, could NOT get on full time...odds seemed at that time, to move in with her was a good decision. I ended up quitting, tried driving 3 hours a day to keep my out of town job part time job...eventually it got to me. We married, she passed, we sold the house, bought another house in our area...my husband has a good job, I do not have a job...there are NO jobs in our area...NOW, all he and I do is FIGHT...all the time, he will not go to a marriage counselor...I have tried. He does not want to sell out house...I am at at a dead end, NO family, NO job...he will will NOT give me enough money, I will fight to get any money from him...I am 64...I seriously need help...I am in pain, I have health insurance, but that costs $15,000.00 a year to keep, there is NO way I can pay rent along with everything else it takes to get by in life...wished I could just go to bed, not wake up in the morning...should have added, because HE has family, he has talked about me to them...I am a person that loves to garden, I do not bar hop, I do not cheat, not fat, keep myself up, no fancy car, vacations, jewelry...very down to earth...I am so lost, any suggestions?

From the day my husband and I met his parents have hated me even though we have never met! They told him don't marry her she's white, she will put you in jail, she will take you're money she wants to sell your pure black soul to the devil. But we married and we are happy, they cut him out of the family for 3 years and things were good, but after they heard we had kids they have been doing everything they can to take my kids from me, I already know there's nothing they can do to get my kids but what can I do to get these racist out of my life? My husband's siblings are just the same, they call me, and curse at me and call me all sorts of names like white devil, trailer trash, how do I like ******* dogs. Just crazy stuff! This whole family other then my husband hates white people and now they want to get my kids to teach them that cops hate them and want to kill him and whites are evil and white people want to kill you for being better then them, what do I do here? I feel like I've entered an insane asylum with them coming back into my life.

I visited a small tiny town in Kansas called Saint Marys. The town is dominated by trad Catholics and there are many large families of 10 to 15 kids there. I cannot even imagine of how expensive it would be to have so many kids. How many people today can afford to have 10 to 15 kids?

I came to the realization about a week ago that I needed to leave my husband. 3 days ago me and our child didn't go home and we haven't gone since. The first night he text and called me like everything was okay. But i simply brought up the other woman he's been texting and he would get mad and hang up. Yesterday he told me he was leaving the state for good. We have been togather 14 years and have a 9 year old. There's drug use on his part and this other woman he been talking to that he says is just drug related but I don't care. My question is, to those of you who've been through a SERIOUS breakup or divorce. How long did it take you to be "normal again" to get out of bed and live a normal happy life. I know I am only 3 days I'm, but it seems like each day is getting worse. When will they get better??

I've come to realize that my best option would be to leave my husband. I know he loves me and I love him with all my heart, but our relationship isn't healthy. I mean really unhealthy. Now I struggle because we are stationed over seas. I'm in the process of joining myself. We have two dogs that my parents have gladly offered to take, but how do you even begin the process of leaving? I hate seeing him hurt? How do you tell the guy you love that you can't be with him anymore? I know I shouldn't care with how he treats me, but I do. I wanted to wait to see if we could get professional help but I'm not even sure it matters. He tells me I could leave and he'll make himself not care. Any advice on how to go about this? My situation isn't exactly normal so if you've been prior military and know the ropes HELP! Thank y'all!

The last year of our marriage was horrible. He worked with a certain female coworker during our last year of marriage during that time period and he moved out eventually. We divorced later that year. 3 years later this female coworker is now moving in with him. What are the chances he had any affair with her while we were still married? He claims she is just a friend needing a place to stay temporarily but why lie since we are now divorced and have been for 3 years already? We share children.

So I go to the gym often and met wonderful people including a few men. I am acquainted with several of them so we would often say Hi and just talk. What I'm realizing now is I tend to like people very easily esp the more we talk- and they get it my head- in a sexy way. I start thinking about whether they're good kisser, if they're good in bed, big yada... I never crossed the line but this is weird. The good news is I don't see these men often and I made it clear that I'm married. Is this normal?

My sexual desire was to have sex with a women with a huge butt, it really makes my erection really hard and gets my heart racing, whenever I see a big butt in public I start fantasize them wearing a red thong and slowly taking it off and having anal sexual intercourse with them and letting them sit on my face and ride it.
