Hi I just want to understand gender roles in a marriage during the 1970's. American women felt like they did not have equality in their marriage during the 1970's because all they did was mother, cook, run errands, etc. Kramer vs. Kramer is a perfect film to take on misogynist significance - and show women's actual role is to mother and cook! Women are asking for equality in their marriage nowadays ... I have 2 questions: 1.) How were gender roles defined in the 1970's? 2.) Did those roles determined a woman's path even within the boundaries of the household?

What are the effects of a divorce on a young child? What did you go through when you were a child?

I've been with my wife 20 years, married seven with five beautiful children. A few years ago we discussed that our eldest daughter, now 17 might not be mine biologically due to my wife being raped at 17. I stuck to my guns that all children are mine, even when DNA revealed our oldest was not, nothing has changed for me. Over the past three years my oldest daughter and I have become closer; but we've always had a close relationship. My wife has recently admitted to being jealous because I give our oldest a great deal of attention. I've been accused of having sexual desires for my daughter, which is outrageous. I do admit I've had to set some boundaries, but still spoil our child. Recently my wife threatened to divorce me as I give our oldest "too much" attention and allow her to get away with much. Where have I gone wrong? Why doesn't my wife understand that she's the love of my life? I don't want my daughter going to any man for the love, understanding and attention only a father can give to his daughter so she won't look for a father within men. She'll be 18 this year. My wife is clearly admitting to being jealous oft daughter and my relationship. Also, my wife is a strong woman, caring, nurturing and secure. What have I done to make her feel opposite? Please help, I'm losing my wife.

My wife constantly tells me that she's too good for me and could do a lot better and says she's going to go hang out with her friends since I'm never here and leave her without a car and I don't want her talking to certain friends she has. The reason I don't want her hanging out with some of her friends is because they tried to sleep with her. The problem is I am the only one that has a job I work 40 hours a week. The problem is she's gorgeous and everyone wants to sleep with her male or female. She can't even have friends because of this. I trust her and it isn't her fault but I don't want her doing this. But she has no human contact at all due to not having a car and having to stay home with our daughter cause of no babysitter. She also belittles me and tells me how ugly and worthless I am because she's irritated about me spending more time at work than with her and says why be together when we never see each other. What should I do? Am I wrong or is she?

How do you get out of a toxic marriage? Which is further complicated by the fact that my husband is the "breadwinner" (I stay home with the kids and only work part time), he has put us in massive amounts of debt which is all in my name, and we have a daughter together. Also, we have separated multiple times but had to continue living together due to our dire financial situation and every time, I fall back into his traps. He keeps telling me how he's going to change, how he will be a better husband, he's going to start making more money for us, etc.. I just feel really helpless because I am smart enough to know better but all these variables keep me either stuck or coming back. I don't think he is capable of real change nor do I see a real future with him (due to his past poor choices when he was drinking that impacted us all. He has since quit drinking but only after his 3rd dui and multiple other bad choices that have drained our finances, emotions, etc). And I don't have any family who can help me nor are any of my friends in a position to take me and my 2 kids in.

My uncle and ex aunt got married in 2003, then in 2010 she decided she missed out on dating and all that other stuff because they met when they were 15 and he was her first love. They had two girls together and once my younger cousin asked me when she was 3 years old: "Why do your mom and dad live together?" As they divorced only 2 months after she was born. Is this a selfish reason? I think so.

My x husband had 2 children now on his 2nd marriage and we've been separated for 8 yrs now and no financial support at all...please I need help for this...I want to invalid my marriage to him and change my status as will as my surname...thank a lot hoping your highly response regarding this matter...God bless

Hello, So I come from a culture where marriage is very expensive. The average marriage here costs between $50,000 to 80,000. I earn $5000 per month (after all deductions). The marriage costs include, paying for a "dowry" to the family, which is sort of like insurance, ranging up to $30,000. Then the marriage ceremony, honeymoon, and other things will climb up another $30K to $40K. Another part of the marriage that is the most difficult part is finding a place to live. I can't get married unless I have a place ready for the wife. I was thinking of two things: 1) Either rent an apartment $2K per month or 2) Take out a big loan over 15 years and build a new floor in our house. This is usually the most common way. The loan would be roughly $1250-$1500 per month and I would be in the same house as my mom, but we would have our own private entrance and floor. I know before you say, "that's alot of money", but unfortunately everything is expensive here and I'm left with these alternatives. What would you do in my position regarding the accomodation?

My girlfriend is very tall and thin she's 5'8.But we are on vacation in the carriebean . She doesn't like when I talk about it because she's always a happy person and so am I. I'm a big strong guy 6'6 250. And you can't help notice she's always lifting her bottoms up. She is pretty fit but she's lost weight in her butt for sure. It's not her top but she had to buy a new bikini because the one I bought her fell off her hips completely coming out of the water. And she of course was embarrassed but still laughed.

Hi! I'm a married man for almost 5 year. In all those years our marriage has never been in a good condition. I got married in 2010 and it was arranged by my family. At that time I was not sure about the marriage but my family pushed on me for the marriage and eventually it happened. Within a few months of our marriage, we both began to notice the differences. But main problem happened, when she came to know about my past relation with another girl, which i had ended 6 months before i got married and i was not involved in that anymore. But my wife refused to accept that and claimed that i'm still seeing her. Well, our families met and I proposed that we should get separate but it never happened and since that day nothing has been same ever. And all those years, my wife has been with me but she doesn't trust me and will not leave any chance to put a comment back on me. I've been fedup with my life as I dont love her and cant put with this anymore. I want to get a divorce but mutually it's not going to happen. Family pressure is huge and they will never agree for this.So what are the ways out for me. Since i cant see any of the basic grounds for divorce being applied to my situation except that I've been under a lot of mental stress because of this. Any advise would be great. (Also, it is beyond my capability to repair this situation, so please do not advise to talk this out.)

Just tell me your personal opinion. personality

The 'reason that most marriages end in divorce? https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgetUqWF8bvsudmt5bDr0qDh_Nw4?qid=20150508030802AA9tB8L#mode=pre

I am a 26 y/o female and married, but recently my husband said he wanted me to rape him. Why would anybody want to be raped? I don't even know how to rape!

Suppose his wife has just given birth to a child, but he wants to make sure that the child is his and doesn't want to pay a dime for some other guys kid. Can he demand a paternity test?

I love my mom, I would take a bullet for her. She has been there for me every step of the way and I owe it to her that I have everything I have today. I love my wife too, but this is a woman I met when I've already figured out most things in life, i.e puberty, education, job, loneliness, bullying in school, all of which my mom has been there for me. There's nothing my wife can do that will make me love her more than I love my mom. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife very deeply, but our bond will never be stronger than the bond I share with my mother. Whenever I go home (i.e my parents' home), I feel completely free. I'm not sure if anyone feels that, because I feel like a child again whenever I'm home. I would take off my shirt, lay on the couch and just talk to my mom as we watch TV together. There's no boundaries, no qualms. She can make fun of me and I don't even mind. I make fun of her and she doesn't mind. I feel so free whenever I'm around her. (please don't think this is some weird Oedipus **** because it's not what I mean). I can speak my mind with my wife, but the feeling is never the same. There are things that I cannot say because we need to keep a "healthy relationship". Why do people say that you should love your wife more than you love your parents? I've been married 10 years, and even if someone asks me the question of whether I will save my mom or my wife when they are both drowning in a river, I will hesitate but I will save my mom. Who should you love more?

I love him so much!..I am happy to be with him 'cause i just feel been loved from other people..He said he will leave his wife but i don't know when they have 1 child and the kid said that "Dad,i don't like to have another mommy"..so i feel so down when my boyfriend told me that.I dont have any words to say to him cause i know its too hard for himbecause he love his child too much and me to him...So many times i told to myself he will leave her and find ways that we will be together but Other side of me say's "Don't ruin others marriage". The reason why he want to leave his wife is, he said his wife been always talk and talk and shout to him and he don't like that thing,his wife almost kill him before everytime they have arguements," .I know he just want to have a wife that even if they have kids she still have time to him... I love him so much...What should i do?...

Things we're perfect in the beginning, we loved each other from the moment. Our relationship went well for the past 5 years. Started dated by 2005, got engaged in 2007, had a baby our baby in 2012 and now he's 3 years old. After my son was born we had our struggles and ups and down. Unfortunately my husband change drastically and starting to feel more stessed out. He's completely complaining about every thing, and sweating off the small stuff. Which it gets on my nerves. I never had a steady job, my job history SUCKS! Every time I work and every where else I always get the bloody a lay off. It's been going on 8 years and I'm also getting tired getting the lay off. So in my husband's eye's he thinks I'm doing something wrong. Because I always work at a Manufacturing plant, no matter where I work at. Our Bills are up our asses. He complaining about spending money when he can't stop buying vehicles. I'm just tired of it. At times I wanted to call it quits. He's always up my ***, never gives me my free space when I wanted To be left alone. He never leaves me alone. The more he does it, the more he pushes me away. And I'm feeling less love with him. He gives me migraine and headaches. I was pregnant with my 2nd child and lost my baby boy in 2015. I had a miscarriage due to stress and the terrible flu I had against my husband. I have to pay amount of ridiculous money. And he's freaking out over it. I just want to move further away from him

We've only been married for three years and he hasn't gotten much done regarding immigration. I found out that he's been cheating on me and seeing other woman and told me that other day that he doesn't want me, that he isn't in love with me anymore and wants to move on. He wants to separate but doesn't want to divorce because HE needs citizenship and to finalize the paper work. He has kicked me out of our home in hopes that his new pregnant girlfriend will move in with him. He is a compete dirty peice of garbage. I had to stay at a shelter and he didn't give a crap. I got NOTHING out of being married to him. He has done illegal things to get money and he is lucky I shut my mouth. I told him I'm not obligated to stay married to him if he can't treat me like his WIFE and show some respect. What did he expect? He called me the b word and has threatened me. I still love him actually, even after everything and we don't have a child together. I have a college degree and a good credit score. Why would he do this to me? Why does he expect me to want to stay married to him?

So my husband is leaving me. We moved here from NYC to Florida and he is going back to NYC. He hasn't worked in about two years and when he leaves, he won't provide me with child support. Now, I have a 7yr old 8 yr old and a 6month old. I was thinking of having someone like move in and provide childcare for my kids. Like a live in nanny. How much should I pay them? Obviously I won't charge them for living with me. I don't want to get any type of government assistance unless i really really need it. I don't have family here so I just really need everyone opinion please. Oh and I work Monday - friday from 9-6

Is it mostly men cheating on their wives?

The wife and I do not watch them together . what adult movie would be a great ice breaker? Keep in mind I know she does not watch them and I like to when she is not around .
