My wife is pregnant with our first baby I love rubbing her belly and kissing it even though she's only 2 months.is this normal ?

My husband ( legally seperated since this past July) was abusive since March 2016 when I was 8 months pregnant w/ our son. It only got worse. He told me 3 days after we brought our son home that he had anger issues and I hit the fan saying "u wait 2 years after we've been married and 6 days after we bring our baby into this world to tell me that?" I told him he needed anger mangement and he said "No, you just need to not make me angry". Everything would and makes him upset and I'm now finding out from his dad and older sis that he's hurt from childhood. His parent's were on drugs and his dad beat his mom till the point he punctured her arteries. He started telling me he was gonna kill my parents, beat the **** out of me, wanted me to hold his gun to his head while he was holding our son and blast him in his head in order to get our son out of his arms. The judge finally ordered him to anger management. I wanted to bust out laughing b/c the past 2 1/2 yrs he thought he was above it. How effective is Anger Management, this guy gets mad and gies into rage at a drop of a hat and I can't see it changing him or him ever being nice to me or anyone in his own family or our son. The judge gave him Christmas day and the day after with our son. I'm beyond hurt. She could at least wait until he had started his Anger management classes. He doesn't even celebrate Christmas or believe in God, another reason I won't miss him.

Husband and I both seem to have flare-ups of unwarranted jealousy. His are because of women he was involved with in previous relationships. Mine are because of two events with 'other women' from much, much earlier in our relationship. We are both working hard to grow and get past these issues, but it's difficult and current (unrelated) stress brings out the worst in us. Any tips for either or both of us to help reduce the effects of negative past experiences on our current relationship? Neither of us have cheated on the other, just some inappropriate conversations and paranoia. The distrust makes it very hard for me to talk to my male friends, or go out with my female friends. And hard for me to be comfortable when he's planning/scheduling appointments with female clients, since he's a (very professional) licensed massage therapist. Marriage counseling is out of our budget, and it is doubtful that it would help. We have no problems talking to eachother on our own. Talking about what makes us jealous isn't very helpful because we both understand that the feelings are irrational. It would be unreasonable for him to ask me not to have/talk to/spend time with friends. It would be unreasonable of me to ask him not to expand his practice or only work on men. Also, I'm eight months pregnant, so reducing stress is hardly an option for the next year or so.

So here's the deal. About a year and a half ago. A couple I know (let's call them Daniel and Jessica) were getting divorced, which seemed a bit odd as nothing I'd witnessed suggested otherwise. Then about a month later I see Jessica constantly hanging out with this guy who we'll call Phil, they claim to just be friends. Fast forward to the beginning of this year. I notice Daniel and Jessica spending time together with no conflict. They have kids, so I guess it's all for their kids' sake. Then I find out Jessica is pregnant. I ask if Daniel is the father, she says yes. Then I find out - only recently - that PHIL was the baby's father. Daniel and Jessica are now completely divorced and have been living separetly for like 4 months now. They still see/talk to each other because of the kids. But this has hurt me a lot. It seems to all fit into place - Jessica cheated on her husband. I can't get over that and would NEVER forgive a cheater especially if it happened to me. Not only that but she LIED as well about who the father was, and it's likely she's lied to other people too. As for the baby, it was a product of an affair, and I just can't support that. :(

I suppose my addiction which I've beaten, but that life lead to bad relationships, I didn't realised that I was in an abusive relationship til I was finally out of it! Children were affected. I think my only options getting a degree!? I feel like a deadset loser!

he didn't make a mistake walking into guest room while your best friend slept over, he was going in there to sex her. now, years later you can say you were right.

I had a happy marriage, happy life, then everything fell a part. My husband became an abusive druggy, went to jail, i plan on divorcing him now, i just gave birth to our last child about 4 months ago, i planned on getting a job after giving birth and getting on my feet, heres the issue, i have no family no friends, im staying in a shelter, after i gave birth my backs been hurting so bad some days i cant even stand, im having a very hard time taking care of my 3 kids. Now idk what to do, i have 3 kids no family no friends getting divorced from a bum in jail and im in so much pain i cry myself to sleep, ive talked to my dr. And she just keeps saying its normal after giving birth and it will go away, the pains just getting worse and i cant work, how am i gona get on my own feet when i cant work? Im so comfused and feel so stuck. I cant understand why im in so much pain, or why my dr.s not helping me.

Why do people take cheating so seriously? My wife cheated on me within just 2 months of our marriage. She used to cheat in me back when we started dating too. I told her I don't care who you sleep with just so long as I am your number 1. It doesn't hurt me because I love her to death! It actually kind of turns me on a bit too. It shows me how energetic she is, lol. And we have been together for over a year now and things are great. I just don't get why people make such a big deal out of it. It's just sex in my opinion. I feel that there are much bigger issues to be angry over. I don't know that's just my opinion.

We have one child together but she is 22 years old. He's claiming that she is not his. If DNA shows that she is not his, am I still entitled to his retirement? What does the child has to do with the retirement?

My husband and I were arguing at midnight and he said he'll file a divorce. He was searching on the web, and I told him, okay print it out and I'll sign the papers but then he told me to give the house key of his parents and at first I didn't give it to him but after 20 minutes I did. And he asked for other things like laptop and the rest of the stuff that he bought for me. He was asking me to give it back to him before he gives me my car key so I can go home to my parent house. He said once I gave him the house key of his parents because we live there now. And he said he'll let me go. But then once I gave it to him. He didn't give me my car key. He said, never mind, I'm back to normal. Everything's back to normal, let's go to sleep now. Don't go home. And then we had sex and fell asleep. What was that all about.

Fiance brother is very narrow-minded and lacks ability to show compassion for people with issues. He has commented that my clingyness isn t acceptable, that nothing from the past affects our present or future. That hurt my feelings, because I grew up in a very traumatizing environment that was very abusive to my mother and me, I ve been seeing a therapist for quite a while, along the way of trauma I was diagnosed with having PTSD, and am on medication. I ve never denied having the flaw. I ve even tried to explain to his brother, but he refused to accept. His parents have also had the talk, and while it wasn t a tasteful characteristic, they understood, were supportive and told me if I needed anything along the way to let them know, that I am a strong gal. My fiance brother has gone out of his way to say very disrespectful things to me over time. He has told my fiance that I m essentially not worth being with because of my issues, and has since started disrespecting his own brother, allowed his wife to tell him that he wasn t responsible enough to handle his business, and his brother and wife mutually telling my fiance that they were rebuking him as the godfather to their child. Its 6 months from our wedding day. There s a lot of insecurity in how do I progress forward in a healthy fashion, when the person that I love with all my heart has a brother whom he was close to trying his darndest to get me to leave? Any input, suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Why did you get a divorce after a short marriage (less than 5 years)? Did you ever feel less than or a loser for having a short marriage?

Is her behavior consistent with "being married to the law? homework help

My parents and my wife's parents we're terrible role models of how to run a family. In my family my mother was a workaholic home maker. In my wife's family neither parent cared about the home and focus on making money exclusively. So while we have great financial work ethic, we have terrible home cleaning work ethic. Our priorities are different as well, my wife is a germaphobe and prefers only the areas that get diseases to be cleaned like the kitchen and the bathroom, whereas I am a person who prefers each room to have orderliness and organization. While it would be great for us both to just clean what we want cleaned and just lean on the other person for the other half, the workloads are a bit much. Sanitization is hardly an issue because our kitchen and bathroom are tiny, but because my wife doesn't prioritize organizing she can't help with the Clutter and we are way behind. It doesn't help that we both work 40 hours and she has a second job so she can have luxury money since I wouldn't let her touch our normal payroll. As far as the kids, they are both behind socially and emotionally as a result of us working so much and cleaning so much. Neither kids are in after-school activities and both kids are electronic addicted. Lately I've been forcing my son to see his girlfriend more often so he's not alone, but my daughter prefers to be on her phone over seeing her friends. There's hardly any time to sleep too. What are we supposed to do?

My husband has a history of trying to cheat. hickeys,texting my friends and phone sex with friends, taking coworkers home, soliciting sex gave me herpes and said it was from a past relationship.. all of these times. I've found out about it and approached him. He always said he never got to sex. well, this most recent time I found text messages from "escorts". I packed my bags and left. Well one week later he finally tells all that he cheated on me when i was pregnant and gave me herpes. which he lied about our entire relationship, constantly accusing me of cheating. And that a few weeks ago he paid a "escort" for sex. My family thinks i need to forgive him and move past it. I think he will continue if i allow him and i finally need to leave. suggestions?

My wife has never been a sexual person unless she was made to do it. Sometimes this feels like rape because if she really wanted it then she would at least flirt with me or do something to encourage it but that never happens and she expects me to pretty much ravish her and do everything. She has no fetishes, no fantasies, no preferences except for she claims that she only likes guys, no Curiosities, no dirty thoughts, nothing. I wouldn't really call her pure either because most of her life she isn't trying to be a good person, she just wants to make a bunch of money and stay alive a really long time. Recently I asked her why she never instigates sex and she said she doesn't like the cleanup because it's too much work. Basically her own wetness and being filled is a turn-off for her. Is Mind Over Matter really the issue here? She appears to have OCD and is finally on a prescription medicine but I don't think the dose is high enough since she has germophobic and obsessive thoughts still. I tried to expose her to more sexual things in hopes that it would at least give her a reason to fight her thoughts and have fun but it's hopeless. We have two children so we clearly do it, but it's fewer than once a month and I haven't had oral in half a year. She had her hormones tested and everything is fine but she's on birth control anyways due to heavy periods and just in case we do have sex. She also had her vitamins checked and that's fine too. What can I possibly do to improve this?

I just noticed that my wife posted a question about our latest issue on compromise. She feels that I'm asking her to make an impossible decision. She refuses to compromise on anything. The sticking point in our relationship right now are her adult sons. We've been together some 16 years and yes, I helped raise her sons but anytime I say anything to them they usually run to mommy and she defends them or lets them do what they want. Right now they are 22 and 24 and we're struggling financially in our house. I set the rule earlier this year that they now must pay rent. My wife hated this idea because my 22 year old daughter, who's away at college doesn't have to pay a dime. Well, the house rule was as long as you're in school we'll cover you. Her 24 year old is a felon and barely made it out of high school. Her 22 year old only got a 2 year associates degree and thinks that he should be making $60k a year. Right now he works at a cafe. Well, rent for them was assessed at $200 a month. my wife thought that was too much because of their working situation. I told her that if they can't pay that they could either get better jobs, a second job, or move out and try to pay rent somewhere else. Well, she backed down on that but they never seem to pay their rent on time. The oldest hardly works because of his criminal record however, he can go make 2 babies by 2 different women. We're struggling financially and I told her that either we go up on their rent, or they will have to move out. Where can you get all your amenities, food, laundry, cable, water, internet, etc. for $200 a month? The youngest lives with his girlfriend at her parent's house like 5 or 6 days a week. I told her that if he can stay that many night he might as well move in with them. She swears that he's not living there. He only stays with them because they live close to his job. Oh, he has a car so it's not like he can't drive there from our house. I told my wife that as a compromise either we go up on their rent and require they pay it at the first of the month or they can move out. Option A, we have move money coming in to help support the house or Option B our monthly bills will most likely drop and we can manage things better. Less food, less utilities, less water usage, etc. She won't consider either option. They should just be allowed to stay until they decide to move out. Oh, and when they pay rent it's never all at the first of the money. One may give $100 now then pay another $50 in a few weeks. Then the rest by the end of the month. The felon can only pay when he can then it's never the full amount. Am I wrong to expect her to choose option A or B? She won't consider either so there's no compromise coming from her. But when I get paid she expects me to pay all the bills. Yes, she works but she claims to have so much already coming out of her check until she doesn't have much left. Granted, she won't let me see her paycheck and she won't get a joint account with me. Again, am I forcing her to expect her adult sons to act like adults?

My husband and i been together almost 7 years. He started his own company about a year and a half ago and it's going pretty well. But he's always busy working 7 days a week. Long hours. Mainly during the night. And with all the stress and pressure that comes with a new business he started using cocaine to keep up with work. He's mainly the only one working until he grows the company more and expands. I just don't know what to do anymore it's really taking a toll on our marriage. We aren't living together at the moment due to our problems but we been saving money for a home. I hardly see him and he hardly answers my calls or texts. He claims he is so busy at work. He's more aggressive now. He don't go out to eat or anything cus he's hardly ever hungry. We barely have sex because he doesn't get hard when he does coke. He doesn't even call or answer when my son wants to speak to him (he's 5) i just don't know what to do anymore. He says he can stop anytime but he hasn't i just don't know what to do i want him to get help and whether we are together or not i don't want anything bad happening to him HELP please

What domination are you from? (Reform, conservative ,modern orthodox, etc) What city are you from? What's your background? Would your family be okay with it? I know that once you convert your accepted but there has to be some ideas you may have or your family/community may have that may not mean that they are against marrying converts it just means that they may have precautions about it and this is with almost every religion.
