I am 27 with 1 son from my previous marriage. I am married to my hubby (who is wonderful! Everything I could ever ask for) He is 30 w/ 2 girls from previous marriage. We have all the children. When we got married my hubby said their would be a possibility he wouldn't want anymore children. I want more tho. I dont know how to cope not having anymore biological children. He says he doesnt want to start over. I feel so bitter sometimes about not having anymore. I want to enjoy having children with him. Both his and my family wants us to have more but he is dead set on NO MORE! What do I do? How do I cope? I feel like Im somewhat depressed about not getting this experience with him....

Nowadays I see many married couple having another person in their life. It makes me wonder is marriage just for the sake their obligation so that they can have another person for their pleasure. Do you agree?

When me and my husband have sex we both always feel a burn when he penetrates me I feel a burn the he feels a burn and then he will get a sore in his penis whats wrong

hello all, My mother and I have a great relationship but things seems to be changing as I'm going through a divorce and I have a kid me and her dad have shared custody. I'm in a relationship with another guy who treats me like a princess unlike my estranged husband who didn't know how to carry on a family life. My mother recently came to know about me and my current boyfriend and she has just screwed everything over. She calls me a slut tells me that all I need is sex and not only that she Has told me that she will do suicide and will tell everyone before she does that I'm responsible for the same. She even curses my boyfriend verbally abuses him and tells I can never be happy with him. I have done everything she has said to keep her happy but she never supported me over anything I had a love before I got married and I had to let go to keep her happy coz she threatened that she will kill herself if they face shame. But I wasn't happy with my Husband I tried to make it work for 5 years but things didn't work out. My new boy friend knows everything about me And wants to be with me. I don't know How to calm my mother down?? Any suggestions

Mother in law says to my 8 month old son that he has a easy life, only eats and sleeps every time she visits. I let my son's hair grow out and it got long. She constantly told us to cut it. When we cut it, she said we cut his bangs too short. Every thing she ask, about his weight, his doc's appt. She always compares us to other people she knows with babies, saying "oh you know so and so's baby is already walking, going out, etc" When she stays over at our house, we provide them (grandparents) with new towels but tags removed and a bed but it's our old bed. Mother in law said next morning, I slept on the floor so you don't have to wash the bedsheets. On their second visit months later, we bought an air mattress but when I ask my father in law about how he slept on the matress he said they still slept on the floor. When they left, my mother in law said, I took off the bedsheets because they used it. What different stories! She also said they did not use the towels because they have their own but still asked me for some soap. Who brings their own shampoo and doesn't bring soap. Am I overreacting to her actions?

Ok so today I went the mall and as I was heading to the car park to get into my vehicle to head back home I heard somebody calling my name. Turned around and it was my ex from high school, we were together since I was in 10th grade and he was in the 11th and we stayed together for four years and we never had sex because it was against my religion (premarital sex) he claims he waited for me and never cheated once. Anyway long story short we loved ach other madly but my parents were not for our relationship and I broke up with him while I was in another country in 2010. I am married now and when he saw me we got to talking and just catching up because we did remain friends in a way but I always kept my distance from him and just as we were done talking and everything I put my purse in my car turned around to wish him well and say goodbye and this guy literally grabs me by my waist and starts kissing me!!!! I was so shocked that I punched him in the face jumped in my car and drove off. My husband is aware that I had a long standing relationship with this guy and he's not a jealous man at all, but I feel so dirty and I don't know how to bring it up to him or if I should for that matter. What do you think? should I tell him what happened? I m steaming right now and I just want to punch my ex in the face again.

ive been married for 7 yrs now and my wife hasn't swallowed I came in her mouth like 4or 5 times but she spits it out and is discussed by it. What can I do for her to swallow

My husband's son (my stepson) wants to visit us with his new live-in girlfriend. A best way to decline son s visit? I have always welcomed my husband's relatives in our home and treated everyone with respect and cooked ton of gourmet food and drinks. They literally have nice mini vacation when they visit us. In fact, I have never said "No", when they wanted to visit us. I feel that I should be nice to my husband's family, since I love him very much. This time my husband and I are both feeling uneasy and wanted to say "NO" to his son and his girlfriend. Because this particular son got married and divorced three times for the last 10 years. Each time he goes through divorce, his son comes and stays with us and complains about how bad he was treated by those horrible women and how they used him and his money. We feel sorry for him and provide all possible supports that we could. I cook for him special food, we take him out nice places, and he had never even offered to share the bills. He certainly eats and entertains completely free and then after he "recuperates", he disappears (no calls and no responses for calls) for a year or so then he shows up with a women and tells that he got married. This happened three times. . I am not kidding, exactly the same stories. Now he has the fourth girlfriend. It is not this fourth girlfriend's fault. It is possible they got married and we did not know about it. Now my husband and I both are just sick and tired of his lousy behavior and his son uses us when he needed, which is OK, but then he completely forgets us (this is not OK!). My husband is going to have an open heart surgery very soon and we do not want deal with any additional "excitement" for while. Particularly we are not interested in his girlfriend that he met online. Besides I am already physically and mentally exhausted of cooking and cleaning three times a day. I do not need additional work, because my husband will need my help and care after his surgery. I need someone be there at the hospital in the waiting room, but he says he is busy. Problem is his son is kept calling us regarding his visit with his girlfriend, even though he knows that my husband's health is not good and going to have a heart surgery. What is the best way to politely decline his visit request? My apologies, this yahoo Q& A is limiting my post length, so I posted each paragraph as an update. Thanks! My apologies, this yahoo Q& A is limiting my post length, so I posted each paragraph as an update. Thanks! This message is for "sugarBear ". Do not judge me! I tell you back your own words: "I think you should stop being dramatic and judging my personal life." !!! Shame on you little kido!

I live and work overseas. I don't pay rent, my company covers it and I make better money than I would at home. Initially my wife (pregnant at the time) and stepson were going to come join me out here and we would live together. That has changed and they are no longer coming out. I have a year left here but I'm trying to get reassigned somewhere that my wife would feel comfortable moving to. We are $70,000 in debt between student loans, credit cards, car payment, plus our normal expenses, and the fact that we just had a baby 6 months ago. My wife does not work. We have no savings. We have just enough money to cover the bills and expenses, very little is left over. My wife is staying with her parents in the U.S. while overseas in a house covered by my company, alone. My wife is urging me to quit my job and move back home to be with the family. She says that I'll find another job and I shouldn't worry. I tell her that I want to move back home becasue I miss the kids very much and it is very hard being without them, but that doing so isn't smart financially. If I did we would have no income to support the baby let alone pay our bills and expenses. We would have no health insurance. Her response is that I only care about money. She says that because I have an advanced degree I'll find a job with no problem. She says because I've been working I'll find a job with no problem. I'm curious to know everyone's thoughts. Thanks for reading this.

My 5 year marriage just ended. We were ok but our relationship was the type were we would argue makeup n smoke weed together since that's what we enjoyed doing. It all started last week when he first mentioned that he regretted getting me pregnant at 16 and getting married at 17 and having our kid and that he works all the time just to pay bills and doesn't have time to put work to his career which is boxing. But supposedly he was just telling me how he felt.. well yesterday he had sparred someone and ended up losing and he was upset the whole day until he said he didn't want to take care of me and Isaiah anymore we were about to get a home and that ended up not happening because he didn't want to be with me anymore he said he was unhappy that he doesn't know what to do he wants to find his happiness and I told him I would help him and he didn't want anything to do with me he just got his clothes and left.he told me I did nothing wrong he does rather be alone he said he rather make it to the top By himself. Now he's on social media posting videos of him being a parties and drinking and having fun and I'm just here with my heart broken. It just hurts because I have so much love for him and I hate that isaiah won't have his dad by his side growing up...

I think he's cheating on me, he's always on the phone he won't let me see his Instagram keeps telling me excuses of why he won't add me. I can't use/touch his phone I asked to use it to take a picture of the children and he wouldn't let me he sleeps with it ether plugged in and on his chest or underneath him. He goes out at night and when he comes home he goes straight for the bath... I send him a text or calls and when I do he never answers if he does I can tell he isn't where he says he is do to the noises in the background... If he wants to see other people I told him it's fine divorce me and give me the kids and u can go play std... He says it's all in my head and that I'm pushing him away when I accuse him... I can't work do to the children and he says he can't afford car insurence on me so I can't drive... I stay home with my children 24/7 everyday except one Saturday every month when my friend comes to pick me and the kids up... Am I just being paranoid or do I have something t worth about... I second think this because he cried when I told him to divorce me I'm done wasting my time with you told me that he loved me and if he didn't love me or wanted to be with me he would have been left not I mention I think he wants me here cause I do everything for him serve him food clean cook yard work trash everything all he does is work and pay bills since he won't let me drive he has to do the grocery shopping and complains and yells at me that I don't do anything and lazy

My mother is terminally ill, and only has a few months left according to the specialists. My brother lives across the country, so with me being the sole local relative, her care is mainly my job (appointments, scheduling home health visits, pre-planning with lawyers, etc.) My husband has been wonderfully supportive so far,but earlier today he just snapped at me that he's annoyed we never do anything fun on weekends anymore (he wanted to go into the city for lunch and make a day of it). I answered to him that unfortunately my mother will be gone in a few months and I love him and appreciate his patience with the situation, and how my priorities are different right now. We still spend time together, I just don't have the time I did a couple months ago to just do whatever. And the thing is if/when this is ever him dealing with his parent in the future, I will be more than understanding. So thinking back his comment really hit me in the gut. This is my last remaining parent, who is terminally ill, and he has the nerve to complain that I need to visit her during her last few months? It's just hard. Any words of encouragement from anyone who has gone through a rough patch would be great.

I hear that the marriage rate is at an all time low, and that the divorce rate and alimony payment rate is at an all time high. What do you think of the men going thier own way movement (MGTOW) . Why do you think more and more men are going their own way and not getting married in today's modern society?

I want to get married and start a family soon.

We met at the beach. I was 18 and he was 24, in the military, college educated. I had never dated anyone before, grew up very poor, couldn't drive, didn't have a high school diploma. We married within 6 months of knowing each other. At the time I was so excited but now I think I rushed into it because I wanted a new life and he wanted to rush. I grew up without a father, a mother who was barely there, we lived on welfare. I had never had anyone but new clothes for me, always hand me downs from my mom or two older sisters. He really did take me under his wing & changed my life. We bought us a beautiful home. He taught me how to drive. He had me enroll in GED classes. I have a learning disability (dyscalculia) and couldn't pass any math classes and was too shy to get help. (I was always extremely shy.) We had our first baby soon after we got married. After she was asleep, he would sit in the kitchen with me and help me work through every problem, very patient the whole time. No one ever paid attention to me like that before. I've gotten over my shyness because of him and have friends. But now I'm 23 and have 3 children which isn't normal for most women my age. Now he wants one more and knows that I don't. And he's like, "Isn't that the least you can do after everything I've done for you?" And I don't know what to say. Right now I'm taking birth control and he doesn't know. I love him so much but sometimes he doesn't treat me as his equal and what he wants gets the final say.

If I knew cheating was fine with her I would've done it but I'm not that type of person. I've learned my lesson well. I went through this feeling lonely till I decided to let go. I've been praying that she'll b back to me but God has better way to answer my prayers. He was just preparing me to understand and eventually accept the facts. My wife and I agreed to b there for each other as friends. She was willing to let go of me that easy. I guess it's bc she have other man already. Soon I'll be able to find a new romance.

Why do relationships have to be so difficult? You began a relationship with someone to not feel lonely. Time goes on and you're more lonelier than ever, more lonely than when you were single. Why do relationships have to be so hard to maintain? Everyone person claims to put every effort they have into their relationship. But it's bullshit. Why are the numbers of divorce rates getting higher and higher throughout the years if people are actually trying? Because they are not trying. A relationship requires 100/100 not 50/50 effort. What is the point in having a relationship if it just makes you feel more alone and unhappy? There is no point. Movies portray these wonderful relationships. They show a couple putting one another before their own needs. They show them listening to each other and communicating. They show them talking about their problems and finding solutions together. Everyone goes into a relationship expecting this. Because their relationship isn't giving them exactly what they were expecting, they become lazy, and don't try to work it out.

He gets turned on by watching me..is this a fetish? I think that sometimes he has more fun with it than I do. Can anyone explain this? We are very happily married and very much in love. I have fun. He doesn't force me. But...I can't see what he gets out of this.

I need a quote to (passive aggressively) hit home with a specific woman. She is married. Trying to have a baby w husband. Cheated on her husband w my (now) bf for years. she knows were together and she isn't leaving him alone. Her "rep" is a very goody two shoes one. I know she stalks my social media. She doesn't know I know about her. Help a girl out. Please don't tell me to leave him or anything.

Just need some advice I have no family to talk to.that would listen. They don't like him very much..

I have 3 children. 1 boy and 2 girls. Both of my girls have lice but that is due to my wife (we are not living together in the same household). She has them during the weekdays and I have them on the weekends. She has not been taking care of OUR children properly. She hasn't paid the gas bill and yes, I do give her money for the kids. I believe she isn't taking care of them properly. My main question is: How can I keep my children from her? To completely have them under my roof only? I know it seems a bit harsh on her for not being able to live with her children. I'm okay with her visiting them Is there any law that she is violating? Please help. I just want a better lifestyle for my children.

isn't that sort of like keying your own car?

We had our first child 3 months ago, and I've found since then that I am completely uninterested in having a sexual relationship with my husband, but I have no idea why. I love my husband more than anything and find him very attractive. He is both emotionally and physically attentive. He shares all household responsibilities and does a wonderful job providing for our family. There's nothing that I can think of that would lead to any repressed resentment toward him that would cause me to not want that sort of relationship with him. However, I find that I don't want to be kissed or hugged and I definitely do not want to have sex. I know he has been very bothered by our lack of sex life, so tonight when he initiated it, I let him go about his business then I went and took a shower. I simply could not enjoy the experience, not for lack of trying on his part. He's not the type of man that would "look for it elsewhere", he's the type to suffer in silence for the sake of his family's happiness, but that is not where I want our future to head. I don't know where to begin fixing the issue because I can't figure out why it's happening. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Responding to a review: Yes, I am currently breastfeeding.

Me and my husband are going through a divorce; however, I'm pregnant. I want to name the baby Levi, but he wants to name the baby after himself. Who has the right to name the baby if we are still married? I live in Texas.

My wife and I plan on a 50/50 custody. The kids are 4 and 2. My wife and I havent got along for at least 2 years and we finally decided to call it quits. The problem is we both love our kids so much we have hard time adjusting to the idea that soon we will not be able to see the kids every day. Also being in a broken family I feel like we are robbing our kids of what it would be like to have family vacations, dinners, and just the feeling of growing up in a complete household. The problem is I feel if we stay together it would be strictly for the kids as we don't really love each other anymore. Has anyone gone through this and what are your thoughts? Any regrets for those who has made this move? Any feedback for me? Thank you!

I stayed on the job, since her return back to me she has been very non affectionate and distant any opinions on why?

I'm trying to get a lot of opinions on this. I'm 37. My husband is 38. We knew when we got married that we didn't want to have kids for a long time. We both had very strained families and grew up miserable essentially raising younger siblings. We wanted to enjoy lives for ourselves. We own our home. In two years, he's going to retire in two years and receive a decent pension. My job is flexible. I can work from home and choose my own hours. We've lived very well, travelled every year, lived in different places. Now our lives are starting to wind down so we feel like we can handle the stress of a baby. My husband especially really wants this and as his wife, if this is a life goal he wants, then I want this even more for him. We're thinking of having a baby within the next 2 years. I've heard concern about not being able to be there for the child but in my family, it's always been at 18, you are on your own, out the door and we'd be 57&58 then which isn't so old. We are very fit and have good genes. My great-grandmother died at 102. My other grandmother lived on her own til she died at 98 and up into her 80s, she still worked at her own store. His relatives have lived in their 90s too. My aunt ran competitively til her 60s. I feel like if we had a baby, he or she would have an excellent quality of life. There are also parents in their 20s and 30a who don't provide for that. So what are your thoughts on the effects this would have on the child?
