I have a friend who is a Christian man who seems to have morals and is respectful. He has been married for over 15 years and has kids. He has a next door neighbor who is a gorgeous, single mother in her mid-late 30's. My friend is constantly helping this woman out in her yard and tonight, he took the kids to play with her kids and a neighbor's kids while his wife was out with a friend for the evening. He was literally spending time with another woman who is single and sure it looks innocent because the kids are there, but how does a married woman trust her husband with a single woman? When she's not around, of course. I sure as heck wouldn't. Personally, I don't believe for a second he'd ever cheat on his wife, but I wouldn't put it passed the neighbor to try and seduce him. The kids are old enough to keep an eye on each other if my friend and his neighbor wanted to step away into her kitchen or something. Anything is possible.

My wife and I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and about a decade battling for custody. I won everything last year. Now, my 16 year old daughter wants to visit my wife s Uncle who is in hospice and will die within days. Is it ok for my wife to tell my daughter that she is invited to see her uncle in his death bed, but only if she doesn t bring me or anyone of my family members (who all hate her). My daughter likes my wife s Uncle a lot; she loves him. I don t think it s fair to me that my wife disallows me to bring my 16 year old daughter to see her relative before he dies... My daughter totally is siding with me, because in fact, my ex s Uncle did die today. Luckily, my dad brought my daughter to see him despite my ex not wanting any of my family members to get involved. Now, my ex is angry at my daughter for us going behind her back and visiting the Uncle two days ago - what do I tell my daughter about her mother s reaction? Is it ok for my ex wife to be angry with my daughter? How do I explain to my daughter that my ex wife is absolutely wrong to dis-invite me or have my dad chaperone her during the visit, and it was entirely the right thing to do to facilitate my daughter wanting to spend the last time she would be possible be able to visit him?

Look at my other two questions in this Marriage & Divorce section if you don't know what I mean by the top question. Basically my wife has turned into a boss more than a wife. She bosses me, the kids, and her workers (she's a high level rank management position) around and she has no competition to knock her down in ranks because she has a lot of social engineering on her side and all the "right things to say" to get people who are prone to guilt/shame/"reason" to go back to their position below her and I think I need to challenge her and take charge of my family. Okay, before you brainwashed Christian SJW's jump down my throat and say marriage should be a partnership let me just tell you that my marriage doesn't work as a partnership. She says "let's decide everything together" then she doesn't include me when a decision is made. Sorry, it's just smoke and mirrors because if a man makes decisions without his wife then she can't have her input valued; but women make decisions without their husband all the time, right? Yes, every damn day. So this is about taking control back from a man and getting rid of the "patriarchy"; I'm sorry, no partnerships exist in this generation unless they both answer to a higher power (god, government, ideology, cult, something). So if I start to return to my alpha roots what is the worst that could happen besides her getting irritated that her authority is being challenged? Will she start to respect me again or want a divorce?

So my husband and I have been married since 2016. It's a great relationship and we got a 1 year old toddler. Everything's good right? well,not exactly.There is a minor issue going on with him. Kinda a recurring theme. Long story short in 2006 my ex boyfriend was killed in action when he covered a grenade in Iraq to protect his fellow soldiers. He was 19. He was killed instantly. He was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumosely in 2008 by president Bush. My husband knows that Ross meant a lot to me. I never mention Ross nowadays but on some occasions such as july 4th and Memorial Day he comes to my mind and if my husband and I are having an argument he says stuff like " I'm no perfect like Ross" which really pisses me off. Or if sometimes I put a picture about him on fb in december,the month he died,my husband ignores me and he's all grumpy for a while. Basically he doesn't lik the idea that I loved a guy before him and since my ex boyfriend has become well known for his action it makes me uncomfortable. How shall I deal with my husband about this once and for all? Because it gets on my nerves that he uses Ross as an excuse and disrespescts someone who gave his life at 19 so that others might live. what do you think?.

Why do some guy lets their ex-wife do whatever they want. He has custody of all the children. She doesn't pay for child support, doesn't buy her children clothes or shoes, nothing for their birthday and Christmas. He lets her picks up the children whenever however she wants, even if it's once in six months or once during summer and she lives in town- about 20 minutes away. He does not argue with her or ask her for anything. Don't tell me to mind my own business, I just want to know why is he being the way he is.

I just left my husband of over 5 years because the relationship was very unhealthy. Always fighting, him questioning me, and mental abuse. I do not see myself with anybody else and although I am happier without him I can't help but feel that him and I are meant to be. Can that be possible? Why do I feel that way

Hello , I been with my girl for 16 years and we have 4 kids together ages 7 /9/10/12. She just got a house in her name 6months and makes $100,000 a year and I m on ssi . so shes breaking up with me ... is there any spousal support or anything I can get to help me even tho we are not married ??

Good man needs a wife only if she give him what he wants than he has to be with her for the rest of he's life. Why man prefer a whore when he have a wife. It's sad to see a female gives her self to a man without even know he's a father and a husband or she knows and still fall for it he will never leave he's wife to her. My husband never cheated on me and I'm happy and blessed i take care of good in a bed. But I see some women complain and I feel sorry for them

Typical day: She wakes up before me, has coffee while I sleep. I wake up after going to bed 2 hours after her because I have to get the kids to bed alone, bring my coffee into the bathroom to TRY to talk to her while she showers. We have an awkward naked situation where she won't let me touch her and I go into the shower after her. She leaves for work while I'm in the shower. I go to work shortly after. She doesn't text me all day except to delegate work to me she can't do. She comes home and relaxes. I come home and find her asleep in the bed or her playing on her phone. I help our children with their problems and some basic chores. She makes dinner alone. We eat but not as a family at a table. She washes herself up and goes to bed before everyone else does. Occasionally she'll mix things up and order groceries to be delivered then goes to bed and I have to receive the groceries and put them away. On the weekends it's more of the same but that 9 hour work/drive time is filled with traveling to tourist traps instate or filled with her being "too busy" to talk or spend time with me because she has to work from home and she can't be bothered with any family/social/marriage issues. Is there anything left? Or is this thing officially dead with no pulse?

* she controls the money. She doesn't even let me know what bills we have. * she makes enough money. Can't use the old "cut off her allowance when she misbehaves" trick at all. She can support herself and the family without me. * she controls the sex. She is the Queen of No and she uses my desire for sex to get me to do work. She doesn't even masturbate so she can't crave it since her libido is dead. * she doesn't want romance. Can't bribe her if the ace in the hole doesn't even interest her * she makes the plans months in advance without my consent. I can't even plan my own days * she doesn't want my attention. I can't even give her the silent treatment * she doesn't tell me anything. I can't use anything against her in a fight, she just wins every fight we have because she knows more about me than I know about her. * she controls our image/reputation. Her social media accounts would give no indication that I am in a marriage where she id a control freak so I can't even get outside help without them thinking I'm crazy because my wife is so sweet. The reason this is even a discussion is because: * She won't have sex with me and uses sex as a way to bribe me to do work to earn it * She won't talk to me and uses my need to be an equal partner as a way to make me do work to earn it * She won't respect me and uses my need for dignity and pride to make me do work to earn it * She won't trust me and uses my need to connect with her as a way to make me do work to earn it.

my wife slept with somebody else, and found out she's pregnant. I still love her dearly, but she wont break contact with the guy she slept with. She doesn't know who the father is, but says it was a one time event. I feel betrayed and seriously want to try to work things out. What should I do?

I just found out my fiancè has been cheating. I had my suspicions and asked him out right and he admitted it. He'd been sleeping with one of his friends. They slept together 4 times over 6 weeks. I've tried to be very mature and rational about the situation, trying to figure out why he had gotten to this point. Apparently he just liked being sociable and he's not attracted to me much any more. I'm not as sociable as I once was, but there is a reason. My best friend was murdered 3 years ago (although it still feels like yesterday). He was an amazing support and he was really there for me. Only now he's using it as an excuse; that my not being that comfortable being outside late at night is too constricting for him, but I NEVER stopped him from going out. What really hurts is a couple of weeks before his affair, I'd finally started to combat this, started therapy and trying to get back out there. As for the attractiveness, I gained a stone or two (I fluctuate all over the place). I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (a metabolic illness) which I will have for the rest of my life. I could have done more to stay in shape but thanks to a healthy dose of depression (you know, friend was murdered, got diagnosed with a chronic illness, amongst other stuff) I was not that concerned with it. We've been together over 10 years. We have so much great history and he's proven himself an amazing partner again and again. Only now I have no idea what I think. He wants to try.

For example, my brother got into a nasty divorce and never trusts women anymore and he always tries to sabotage other people he knows' relationships saying that all women can't be trusted and are evil and will steal your money, etc etc. He tells all of his friends that they are wasting their time with their wives and significant others that they are in long term relationships with, and acts passive aggressive towards their spouses and tries to ruin their marriages or relationships in order to "save" the guy he's friends with from being "taken advantage of" and he makes up all these fake situations that he believes are going on, like trying to convince his friends that their wives are cheating on them, etc etc even when it's not true and the guy and his wife are happily married Basically he's just extremely negative and bitter towards women in general and tries to "teach" his friends the same philosophy he harbors towards women even though they are happily married
