Me and my fiance have been together for 7 years and have 2 young daughters together. She works full-time and I own a pool service company and only work 3 days a week but take care of the girls everyday (back and forth from school, babysitter, feeding, baths, etc...). Anyways I'm at home almost always. The one thing I like to do and have been doing for years (even before I met my fiance) is to watch Sunday football with my buddy. Anyways she's always had a problem with me watching football. Well last night it blew up.. I came home and we got into a argument. I lost my temper and started hitting stuff and throwing furniture around like a little kid. I was so upset that I packed my things and left the house (she owns it) and told her I was done and moving out. Anyways I came back and apologized. She isn't having it and said the only way we can work it out is if I never watch football outside of the house again. I love her more than football of course but I'm not sure if it's okay for a person to tell the other person that you have to stop doing something in order to keep her. I've watched football every week for the past 10 years and we've only really got into about three arguments out of that time. But I do enjoy the relaxation and escape that Sunday football brings to me. I work hard all week and I'm always home and that's my only chance to get out of the house really. I don't want to lose her and I really don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

I'm getting married in the summer and I don't love him. I'm only 22 years old and he's great. He has an amazing career and he's established. I feel like love will come eventually right... I don't know really. Did anyone marry someone they didn't love? How did that end up. Why did you do it...

I thought she obviously noticed. Her clothes don't fit anymore, but she's not doing anything about it. I don't know for how long she's planning to blame this on the baby. She can still go to the gym, but she never does.

I'm 24 and have been married almost a year. I have a very high libido and crave my husband multiple times a week. I initiate and often get rejected. We have sex about 2-3times a month when I'd rather have it 2-3 times a week. We have talked about this multiple times and he keeps saying itll change and get better. It does for 1 week then goes back to 1 once a month until I confront him about it once more. I'm just tired, he says he wants me and thinks I'm sexy but leaves me hanging so many nights. When we do have sex, it's short. No foreplay, no lovemaking, I dont finish, and then he doesnt take care of me. I'm not satisfied. I love him a lot, he's my best friend and I'm soooo attracted to him. Yet it feels like I'm just his friend and not his wife. He just kept telling me "itll get better once we're married" and I believed him. Now most nights i go to bed bitter, angry, and sexually frustrated. I'd really like some opinions on what it could be or what to do. He hates his job (I thought that may have been a contributing factor) and I encouraged him to go back to school and follow his dream. 

Just like title says. Not sure in this is my business or if I should stay out.. My brother told me he slept with another girl (not just a "I got too drunk one night" accident) having an affair on his wife. They've been married less than 9 months.. Not about honoring my brother's trust or anything like that. Just wanting to strictly know is it better for his wife to know the truth or not? Thanks

My wife was watching Teen Mom she was 16 when she had our son. She said because of this show she doesn't want anymore kids. There was this couple on there who couldn't stop fighting and screaming and throwing things in front of they're 1 year old daughter this couple needs therapy. She said were lucky were even still together we been married for 11 years. Shes smart enough to know better shes not like teenagers these days who have 5 kids by 10 different guys. Just because she was a teen mom she has to watch this show it seems thats whay everyone is doing these days. How can I help her feel better ?

How can someone who you have shared 14 years with had two children and got married do the most unforgivable thing to you (cheat on you, affair at work) and get away with it, by that I mean.. carry on as if we meant nothing.. his family welcome his new gf as if she's done nothing wrong and play happy families with her and her child while there grandchild is given sleeping tablets because of how they have been treated during the separation ie not thought about and no time for them etc.. I understand people separate but when you were getting on so well and didn't expect it.. it's just so hard it may sound stupid to other people and they will say get in with it but it's as if we mourning them.. I just need a way to help me and my kids through this hard time.. me and my kids feel like we wasn't good enough.. we just so lost and confused how people could behave like that

If she suddenly becomes fixated on loosing weight, dressing more like she did when she was younger, and wearing more makeup than usual.... all for reasons that are not apparent or ever discussed with you, is that a sign that she could be trying to improve her appearance for someone else?

My wife does not get along with my son from my first marriage. If I bring him up it turns into a fight, so I stopped bringing him up. She got along well with my daughter from my first marriage until she didn't and again I stopped bringing her up, so not to cause a fight. Now she is upset that I have this whole part of my life that I am not sharing with her. I think I'm just keeping the peace. So how do I explain to her that its her own behavior that is creating the problem?

I feel like I dont want to be married anymore. We married 10 months ago after a 4 year relationship (2 of those years we loved together). Recently I had a family emergency and my husband did the exact opposite of what I needed, he was distant, didnt want to talk, didnt want to physically comfort me, anything. His attitude was 'Just stop thinking about it so much'. In an effort to be closer to the situation and do what I could, I was trying to spend as much time at my parents house as possible to help the family. One morning I told him my plans and he expressed it wasnt worth the gas. So I packed a bag and went to stay to save gas. The entire time I was there (1 whole day) he berated me over text, accused me of infidelity, and insinuated I just wanted to get out of my household chores. With every text I just felt more and more like this was the end. Now, we have patched things up. That behavior was unprecedented so I feel as though unless I see him repeat it, he deserves another chance. However, my heart has changed. I truly feel like I can no longer manufacture new love for him, like Im running on the memory of loving him. Im growing miserable, watching him be the man that used to make me happy, watching him try to change to save our marriage, but I just cannot feel the way I used to. Instinctively, I want out. But logically, I think I shouldnt rush my way out, that he deserves a chance. I really need advice or discussion, Im just going round and round in my head. 

This has been an issue for the whole 18 years I've been with her (I was 19 when I met her), she is NOT emotional at all and doesn't even enjoy talking about feelings yet everyone tells me that women are emotional minded creatures and the only way to get a woman to love you is to appeal to her emotions and get into her heart. But that hasn't been the case with my wife. She has ABSOLUTELY NO observable emotions. And when she talks, she talks with pure objectivity and she keeps her feelings/opinions out of it. To those around her, she is difficult to read and impossible to understand her emotional state; you can assume she's in a good mood and be wrong easily since she doesn't smile nor scowl. A lot of the advice I've received on this website over the years was appealing to her emotions like she was some kinda of "in touch with her feelings" kind of girl who daddy denied her leaving the house her whole life so she has a lot of feelings of oppression from men that I need to dance around while I pamper her. But that's not who she is. She was a farm girl and free as a bird. She's also NOT in touch with her feelings at all; she pushes those effers down until the abyss. She's not selfless either, she just exists and gets shyt done. So I don't know how to treat my wife. If she's autistic then she prefers logic right? But if she's a woman then she prefers emotions right? So which is it? Or is it bipolar and it's both at different times? Also, are sexual acts logical or emotional?

... in any way...??? (Some guys have standards)

I feel like my husband is extremely Horny, is it just the young years and sex drive will drop? (I'm hoping) but he always needs sex at least twice a day and sometimes I refuse bc I am tired and not as horny as him, he gets MAD and ANGRY like you can tell by his actions it's crazy. Also he is VERY touchy and playful which I don't mind but it can be a little too much, sometimes after a long day of work I feel like I need me time and I usually never get it bc either I be sitting on the couch or washing dishes he just won't leave me alone he will just randomly start patting my *** or what not or be all kissy which that's not as bad as when it happens at public in front of strangers or close friends. We can just be standing there and out of no where he will be touching my *** or be all kissy and playful or what not and that makes me feel very embarrassed if it's in front of people bc I can see friends or strangers start to look uncomfortable and I nicely just kinda give him that look to you know calm down but he just don't seem to get it. Have any of you felt this way?

I'll keep this brief. I need to save more money and have everything planned out before I actually file for divorce. I have to do this secretly for my own well-being. My husband is constantly going through my personal things, sometimes taking them never to be seen again, sometimes destroying them beyond repair. He's never admitted to doing this. I want to put as much stuff as I can in a storage unit now before it "breaks" or "gets lost," but I'm not sure what I should pack away now and what I'll need to keep in my home and easily accessible until I can actually drive away. Any tips?

A long term client of yours, who is in the midst of a bitter divorce and custody dispute, has not paid you for your counseling services for nearly five months. She now owes you around $1700.

My spouse and i are newly married (few months) but we have lived together in his grandpas home for the past 4 years. I cook and clean the two story house plus we take care of the huge front/back yard with gardens. My husband works a tough job and works overtime most days. We agreed years ago to pay half of any bill for house and food plus take care of the house etc. His grandpa owns this home. So his grandpa is a pessimist majority of the time. Sometimes he is very nice but almost every day he comes to my room to say negative things about my husband. My husband has always respected his grandpa to the fullest and has done plumbing jobs for him that cost over $1,000, been very kind to him even if he was being yelled at, always stayed to care for him even though we tried to move out a couple of times... his grandpa always asked if we could stay, so we did and now have no money to move out. Well... ive noticed his grandpa comes in our room when we are not there. I know this because a few times i was laying on my bed, and his grandpa walks in and says "oh i thought you werent home" ... then why do you need in my room? Oh nevermind he says. So, i ended up putting a lock on our door. We are grown adults and everyone should be allowed privacy in their own room. He is now demanding i give him a key or he will kick us out(he loves to threaten this when he doesnt get his way) I really dont want to give him a key. What do you suggest i do?

She just filed papers and I was head-over-heals in love with her. I feel nauseated often and I can't imagine life without her at this point.
