My dad grew up in abusive home and he tried to hit mom once, but mom threatened to take him to court so he stop. It saddens me why some men like to hit their wife and kids ( my friends said their dad hit their mom). So why men do it?

Do you think it's okay for a married woman to attend a ladies only birthday party with male strippers? Would that be considered inappropriate or even bordering on cheating? My brother's wife seems to think this is okay and does not mention the stripper to her husband.

My ex is a narcissist, manipulated, controlled and tried to brainwash me. Was verbally, emotionally and physically abusive. Is a compulsive liar and a serial cheat, unfortunately i share a son with him. I don't regret my son but having any ties to him is unfortunate. He had another woman and children throughout our relationship and lied to us both. The other woman wound up pregnant again and that's when i left. He was even more abusive and irrational after i left so i cut all contact. He didn't give up without a fight. Made my life hell. It was a very stressful time but I'm now free of him so it was worth it. He drags my name through the mud, is obsessed with proving what an awful person i am etc i ignore it all. I refuse to give him the attention he craves. He's now living with the other woman and their children, portraying himself as a family man and doting father, declaring his undying love for the perfect mother to his children with over the top insincere social media posts. I found my relationship with him traumatuc and I've stayed single after leaving to heal. He doesn't see our child or provide, plays the victim referring to me as a scorned woman that won't let him see his child. When it was infact his own abusive and irrational behaviour that lead to that. Of course he will not accept responsibility. Everything is my fault. Does karma ever catch up with these people? Or is it only the good who suffer?Educating myself on personality disorders has helped me, advice...

So my husband and I got married last year, and ever since his mother has made it known that she hates me, simply because I married her son. Not only this, but she texts my husband nasty things, calling him worthless and such, and says our marriage is a joke, all because he doesn't come to see her as often, so that makes her angry. The only time she ever wants to see us, however, is to have us clean or do something for her. For 6 months this abuse went on, on a daily basis, and we would go over weekly to help out at her house, only to have her yell at us for cleaning the wrong way as she would smoke pot. As all this was happening I felt anxious everyday at home, thinking she would get angry at us for something new, and my husband was having drinking problems and taking out his anger from his mom on me, no physical abuse, just getting overly angry at me everyday. Now it has been about a year since we have seen his mother, and my husband has been sober and truly seems to be getting his life on track, as he says hes happier than hes ever been, BUT now his mother is trying to get back in touch with him, and convinced him to go help her move today, and I find that the thought of my husband actually going to help that woman, despite what she has done to us, makes me SO ANGRY and DEPRESSED feeling. I don't know what to do. Is it wrong that I don't want my husband to be around his mother? What would you do in my shoes? Thanks.

She tells me this morning that she wants all of us (me, her, 2 kids) to come together as a family and to stop have individualist values/beliefs/hobbies but then she leaves to go spend time alone with a friend she made through work. It sounds like to me she just wants us to be at her beck and call when she's finally ready to be a family. That's just not how it works. And then she has the audacity to call me a narcissist when I've spent the last 1.5 years trying to help my autistic son make friends and the last 14 years prior to that trying to save our marriage. I don't understand how she has any room to talk when all she's done the last 15.5 years is go to college, become a workaholic, sleeping a lot, and ignore the FAMILY with electronics (phone, laptop, kindle fire, and korean love stories on Netflix). So who's the narcissist? The people who ain't putting up with her shyt? Or her for expecting everyone to be "ready to come together as a family" when she finally has down time from her self interests? *our autistic son* Sorry, this is my only marriage and the only woman that I've ever had kids with. I'm just taking a more personal ownership over him because she hasn't don't shyt to help him. done*.... Many I'm just so mad right now that I can't type. Like seriously, how can you spend all morning complaining that we aren't a family then go off with a friend? She has priority issues. And an issue with work/life balance... *Man..... I just should just give up, it's one typo after another. And I'm not even on a smartphone right now. I just don't understand how she can be so firm about being a family and then leave her family behind to go bond with a co-worker. And here's the worse part, she's sabotaged all of my friendships up to now so I could be a "good father" and a "good husband". Like bytch, why can you have friends and not me?

I know this is silly to some of you, but it seems that way. Especially because of some things I am about to mention. Any-who..Men always going for the younger women.. why? Why are looks soooo damn important? I need help. Im severely depressed. I'm 20 years old btw. Im young but trust me, i think very differently than most. My husband is in his 40s as well. He knows i am different and that is why he is with me.

I'm only 20 now but in the future I would love a big family of kids with a partner. I want to be with the same man for life but I am not into the concept of marriage. Opinions?

I'm 32 my girlfriend is 29. She now wants to live together and get married. We have been dating for about 3.5 years. My relationship with her is about to hit an expiration date. I'm at a point where If i don't marry her she will move on and I'll have to find a new replacement girlfriend. Normally with millennial women they accept if their boyfriend is not ready for marriage if they are still in debt paying student loans need to save up for an engagement ring wedding house etc and will wait up till 30s or longer to get married while dating. But for me that excuse doesn't work for me because I am loaded and the women i date know that I already own my own house in Vancouver , I have no student loan debt I come from a rich family dad paid for everything i have a good high paying stable job. I can afford everything and am already able to provide. My relationships with women usually end around the 2 year mark when the woman realizes I'm not going to commit. The problem is in the province of BC where I live common law of 2 years + is considered same as marriage legally and is entitled to equal property division split in event of break up. So I keep ending up having to find a new girlfriend every 2-3 years But it gets tiring and it hurts every time i have to break up and say good bye a lot T_T. This is the 4th girlfriend now But I have too much to lose if i get married and it ends in divorce.

My girlfriends been nagging me to marry her We are not living together yet I was thinking about proposing haven't done so yet needed to do some research first on what I'm getting myself into I went to go see my friend who is an attorney and consult him about marriage and divorce He calculated that if I get a divorce I would be paying just over 2000 CDN a month for each child and spousal support if my wife doesn't work would be just over 3000 a month too and I would lose the family home which I bought and paid for which is valued at just over 4 million in Vancouver along with half my other assets Now he said we can draft up a prenup to protect my assets I acquired before the marriage which includes the investment assets and property But the judge can still throw out the prenup we negotiated for any spousal support, child support and can throw out the prenup for the family home. She would still be entitled to any net increase in value of any investment assets and property I had before marriage which increased. during the marriage and id have to pay a settlement for that. Theoretically if the judge throws out the prenup and gives her the family home too then that's close to 5 million in divorce settlement and another close to 10 000 + a month from child support and spousal support until she remarries I'm starting to think screw it -_- marriage is not for high earning men The divorce would be so one sided if she doesn't love me anymore and leaves
