I gave birth about 7 months ago to an amazing baby boy. However, I developed ppd shortly after his birth. Although it was never diagnosed I'm certain that's what it was. Most of the time I was okay but at least a few nights a week I would have depressive episodes (de). A few times I "made a plan" but I would always think (thank goodness), I'll just see how I feel in the am. Much of this was w/o my hubby noticing. If I had a de 3 times/week, he might take notice once every 2 weeks. I don't blame him for not knowing. I was very good at hiding it. It's worth mentioning that I was in extreme pain most nights for the first 2 months from gallstone attacks. So most of the time he thought it was that. But I really feel like I'm on the other side of this thing but now I feel like I need to talk to hubby about it. We tell each other everything & I feel like I'm withholding this from him. We're also making plans for baby #2 and I feel like next time I'll really need his help. I'm the type of person who will never ever ask for help. That's a whole other issue but basically I feel like I'm undeserving of help and scared to ask. The problem is he gets very awkward when I bring it up. The other day I told him that our friend was depressed and I tried to comfort our friend by sharing some of my struggles and hubby got really uncomfortable and stopped talking (which is his norm, he won't talk if he doesn't know what to say). I just don't know how to get started taking about it. Any advice? 

My friend is depressed and she says it's due to the stress from the Coronavirus. How she lost her job from it and she is concerned for her family. However she has been staying at home all the time with their husband who usually is out of town traveling. However he is home due to not being able to travel. A lot of times before the Coronavirus her husband wouldn't come home on time saying his flight was delayed. She contacts me a lot during the day now when her husband is home too She always said how great her marriage is. Now that she's around him all the time she is getting very depressed. Recently she wanted to get a dog but he talked her out of it. I suspect she is depressed because the problems in their marriage are showing up since they are around each other all day now. In the past she's made comments about me and other people she knows about being single. Acting like she had one up on us. Do you think she is depressed because of her marriage? If her marriage was so great why is she so depressed now? I know the Coronavirus is stressful but I think there is more to it.

So my ex has every other weekend and every tuesday for court ordered visitation. I have always given him the days he wants / needs to see the kids, nevermind the order.  Recently my 15 at old son has been mouthy, disrespectful at times, And always wanting to argue and justify what he does that's wrong. Hes a good kid hes just going thru a phase.  He got mad at me a few days ago and he spoke to me pretty badly. After months of his disrespectful comments I finally told him if he spoke to me that way again he'd be missing a few teeth so to speak. I wasnt angry just sturn. I went to bed and 2 hrs later he snuck out his window went to a friends house and claimed he was afraid for his life. And called and told this to his dad. He was only mad bc of what I said. His dad calls the cops and has them come talk to me instead of calling me first! Hes been trying to convince the kids to move in with him behind my back. And other shady things. I've now decided I cant co parent with him! Isnt it fair to go back to the court order days instead of working with him to get the kids when it benefits him. If he cant respect me enough to call me before calling the cops why should I do anything for him. Right!?  Nevermind the fact that his live in GF has emotionally abused our kids before!! I didn't call the cops on her then, I called my ex like an adult and dealt with the issues. I dont want my kids mad at me but I just cant see myself doing anything for my ex right now! NEVER Imagined this EVER!! 15 year old son* I've never hurt my kids and my ex knows this! All he had to do was call me , or come pick up my son and take him home with him for the night until the next morning. My son admitted he knew I wouldn't hurt him he just didnt like what I said.  He snuck out 2 hours after I had gone to bed. he knew he wasnt in any danger. All my ex had to do was ask all the right questions and realize my son was fine just mad at me. I literally cried for 2 days after that. My emotions were a MESS

Let's say your wife is unable to meet up with her online lover and have sex at a motel. Any chance being cooped up in the house with a cheating spouse will rekindle the flames and have her forget about the other guy?    

Me and my husband have been married for 5 years now and have a 2yr old and 4yr old. Him and his ex have been separated for over 14 years they also have 2 children together. Since the beginning she has been so full of drama, she's one of the biggest liars and she's always trying to start things and keep the kids away. She has been spreading rumors about us for years and just randomly calls and says people are telling her I speak bad about her which is all lies. And he doesn't say anything to defend me or my character. Even though he knows it's not true. Her latest rant was a social media video speaking so horribly about me and blurting out lie after lie, alot of the things were really hurtful, which I expressed to my husband, I didnt respond or lash back, I've tried my best to just ignore her because obviously she's still bitter. But my issue is he tells me I shouldn't worry about it as long as we know the truth "mere words" shouldn't bother me but I'm like I feel he could do a little more to defend me especially considering I've been constantly verbally bullied by her for years. This last incident I'm still very hurt by and we've said for years we think something is a little off about her. It's becoming too much to deal with. So should he stand up for me a little more or should we just continue to try to ignore her? 

My husbands name is on his ex wife's car and title. They have 2 kids together. He can't get it off right now because it's not fully paid off yet, but he said he would once it's paid off (which will be in a couple of years). Also, we both purchased a vehicle a couple of years ago, which looks similar to his ex wife's, but we had no idea it would look like that because the guy who was selling us a vehicle said he had a good deal on a vehicle and it just so happened to look like hers. Should I let this all bother me? 

my wife and I have been happily married for almost a year this June. We have told each other a lot of deep stuff. Like I've never told anybody else as much as I tell her. She's my true soulmate. But there is 1 thing she doesn't know about: my tattoo..  to be quite honest, I don't know how she hasn't noticed it yet. it's on my thigh though and it isn't very big. 6 months ago I remember her saying that she hates tattoos... I sad there awkwardly nodding.. now I'm pinching myself- why didn't I tell her then? how can I tell her? my tattoo is kinda embarrassing. I got it when I was 19. should I just wait until she notices? 

There will only be 10 to 15 people there because of the coronavirus but I'm afraid I'll miss it because I'll have the virus. He's having a bigger party at the one-year anniversary next year. I want to be part of the celebration this year also though as I'm the only sibling that's living. A sister died in 2012. Sorry this sister died in 2018

Should I be upset if my husband's name is on his ex wife's car? Also, her car looks similar to ours. When we bought the car, we really didn't think about it looking like hers. He said that wasn't his intention at all. Should it bother me?

My husband has had about 10 or more jobs where he has either quit or been fired. He did work at Walmart for 15 years and after 2015, it's been one job after the next. He went to school as a heating and air conditioning tech and he just began his job on Monday as a heating and air tech. I asked him how his job was today and he said it went really bad and added I don't know how much it will last. Then he said I didn't get a lunch break and he was really whiny sounding. I said are you going to stay? He said as long as I can. I'm real slow. My sister said that my husbands attitude has changed and she said she doesn't see him changing. I dont know what to do. I am on disability. 

Married with children? I will not be voting for a man who assaulted a woman. If you are happy about this or are 12 years old, I am ignoring your response. If you are mature, I'd love to know. 

 I have been with my man for 12 years coming up on 7/3/20 & we have two boys together. In the state we live in Common Law Marriage is considered a real thing & even most paperwork we fill out has a box for it that we always check. I know in some states it doesn't count, but here it does. So I was wondering if anyone knew if audultry counts too? I mean I think it would, especially since its been 12 yrs and we have kids. Just wanting to know because I resently heard that you can file for divorce even if you are common law and it got me wondering about if other things like audultry and bigamy count as well. 🤔🤔

It is not that I don't want it...I do, but it has not come my way. Want to Hear from people who have had a very long dry patch, but they are in god health and above all sleep great like me.

Or because this man was hitting on a married woman should I be cold when I see him? I feel uncomfortable judging someone at the same time what he did was apalling

My uncles ex-wife hates us and hated my mom even while she was still married. She's got her daughter hating us also. The two sons are more mature and like us.

My dad noticed today that my uncle is hereby officially divorced on this day. He had a toxic marriage and yet he is fading already and has been since before the divorce was final. He also noted his friend who was widowed last September is already engaged to get married in September. The children are apparently shocked and somewhat offended. My father said he would never remarry, is it normal for a man to be in a hurry to get remarried or at least have a partner after being divorced or widowed? in my uncle's case he had an absolutely horrible marriage that was almost comic so that might make it easier but my dad's friend had a good marriage from all we could tell. The uncle is officially divorced now but was dating before he was divorced. 

Before I found out they ******, she told me he was just a friend.  The interactions between him and my wife that I have witnesssed:  That friend replied to one of her instagram stories " You're cute " she responded saying thank you my friend.  And a week after that, that friend called her up at 10.30 pm. I heard her in the beginning saying "I am at home, chilling with my husband". This made me think that she gave him a signal for him to not talk about anything weird. Then they talked about some legal immigration issue about  the guy's wife for 5 minutes since my wife is an immigration paralegal. That's when I asked some tricky questions to let her confess. Because I trusted my guts. She told me she lied because sleeping with him was a mistake, she was ashamed and it doesn't mean anything. She said that's why she didnt want me to know about this embarrasing story. Then she asked me if she should block the guy from social media and also block his phone number. I said yes. She blocked him. I am okay with her being ashamed of the situation and lying about it, but I am not okay with her not being able to give me a good reason as to why she was still in touch with him. Am I being insecure here? Be honest. Bash me if you want. But tell me the truth. They had sex before we met.

My wife and I recently changed churches and have been members of our current church a little more than a year ago. We've become very active serving on several different teams and things like that and have gotten very friendly with several of the members. One guy has even asked my wife and I to be his son's god parents. Our praise and worship leader, a young girl in her 30's affectionately call us her adopted parents. My wife has sung on the choir with her for an event and she asked me to be Jesus in the church's Easter production but with the Covid crisis all that was cancelled. My wife walks into the bedroom a few days ago and tells me that this girl sent her a friend request on Facebook and was wondering if she sent me a request. When I looked she hadn't. I thought that was strange. My wife and I are linked on Facebook but she didn't request me as a friend. Is that strange to anyone else other than me?

reason I give When I break down and cry Don't need no reason why Baby, baby, baby You're my angel Come and save me tonight You're my angel Come and make it all right" a good way to give her a big head, and make her a wannabe goddess?

I'm scared to block him because I think it will make matters worse. I don't know if I should give into his black mail at this point just to get him to leave me alone. I stupidly cheated because my husband was never present. He was emotionally disconnected and barely said two words to be every time he came home. I desperately needed someone to talk to, someone for comfort. And my friend who I've known for 10 years started messaging me bring extremely present, he was giving me a lot of advice, he talked to me 24/7, and told me I was beautiful. One thing lead to another and we ended up having sex.then he slowly started switching up on me. He told me he would stop being my friend unless I sent him nude pictures. Then after I told him I don't want to have sex anymore he threatened to show my husband the pictures I sent of him. I was scared so I had sex with him again. He said it was the last time he would ask but he asked me again and again. I finally put my foot down and said no more I don't want to cheat no more and I mean it. He blocked me after I said that and called me and told me he was going to message my husband if I don't have sex with him one last time. He won't stop texting me and he told me he wants me to shave my vagina this time. I tried everything to try to turn him from wanting sex with me. I told him I had aids I told him I had hiv I told him I had a virus I told him I had infections. Nothing works. I purposely made the sex bad he's still begging me. He even says his self the sex is bad but he keeps harassing me to have sex with him. Then he be telling me my husband cheats on me all the time so I shouldn't care about cheating on him with one dude  I don't understand why he just won't go on with his life and leave me alone. He has plenty of women that throw themselves at him 

My neighbor "whispered" to our new neighbor  "Those two they fight constantly they are likely headed for a divorce" while my husband and I were standing RIGHT THERE. She didn't think we heard her but boy did we. My husband just walked back in the house. I'm furious. Should I confront her? None of this is true! She has spoken VERY unkindly about many people in the neighborhood. She's an 82 year old lady living next door to me. 

Just wondering if anyone would have a estimate of how long this horrible coronavirus will last for?

I need some opinions: How would you feel about sharing a bed that your husband and his ex wife and their kids shared? They only had it for a year before she left and now we've been married for almost a year. Any thoughts? It's a nice bed and mattress. I don't want to tell him to get a new one, because it was pricey, but what are your thoughts? We have rotated it and cleaned it. 

The person I am with is great, and we have been together for 2 years.

Should I do it

To be honest, it doesn't really bother me. 

How would you feel if you shared the same bed your husband shared with his ex-wife? They shared it for only 1 year. It's a nice bed and mattress. My husband said it was a lot of money and that I shouldn't worry about it because it was only a year old. We rotate and clean it. Any advice?

My sister in law is jealous of me. I'm going to school and she dropped out-and wishes she could go back. MY MOTHER IN LAW SAID THAT SHE TOLD HER:"IT DOANT MATTER IF SHE GETS A DEGREE-SHE WONT DO ANYTHING WITH IT!!" My husband works for both of us and in her marriage she has to work along with her husband to be able to pay the bills-this upsets her a lot!! Just little things if I dress a certain way she complains. (In private of course to keep up her facade-that she is sweet and perfect).. If I'm too outgoing she complains. She is reserved and in her eyes: THE PERFECT CATHOLIC!! She is just an unhappy person....THE PROBLEM:I'm graduating (virtually) next Saturday-May 9, 2020 , from college. My mother in law and all the family will be celebrating Mother's Day that day AT MY SISTER IN LAWS AND HER HUSBANDS HOUSE- instead of Sunday. Should I say I'm graduating that day virtually at 6:00pm or stay humble and attend just me and my husband on there porch..?? I'm trying to be a woman instead of a child about things but I keep thinking-"THIS WOMAN SAID I COULDN'T DO SOMETHING AND I DID-I DESERVE TO TO HAVE THIS". But then I start feeling bad because she must be hurting inside with so much sadness to have so much hate!!!!SECONDLY:I GOT ACCEPTED INTO THE SAME UNIVERSITY SHE DROPPED OUT/ FLUNKED OUT!!! This is nerve wrecking!!!PLEASE HELP ME!!! My mother in law wants me to announce that I'm graduating- I AM THE ONE HAVING RESERVATIONS ABOUT IT.

I am 19 now, was 13 and in 7th grade when they split. College freshman now.
