My ex broke up with me close to 2 years ago. We probably have not spoken for about a year and a half. A few days ago his friend (Who became friends with him AFTER our break up) called me over the second I walked into a bar/restaurant. Practically screamed from 30 feet away. I have never met her and never even heard of her for that matter. She said to me, "You dated (Insert Ex here) right?!?!, He would always show me your picture and talk about how in love with you he was.". I was in shock what was happening, so all I could say was, "I promise you he is not in love with me". Then I shook her hand and walked out without another word. She seemed so eager and happy too see me (probably drunk). I on the other hand was confused. I have spent the last 2 years thinking my ex hated me and now I am wondering if he in fact regrets dumping me. I have gone on to date other guys and he has been single. I am not desperate to get him back, but I do love him and have missed him. Any chance he feels the same? Also how the hell does this chick know me so well? I mean she called me out within 5 seconds of me walking through the door. I get they have talked about me, but I was real fresh on her mind.

There is a lot of dark and terrably deep rooted emotions that go with this, so I hope I convey it correctly. I also desperately hope someone can help. On the outside it looks like a married couple's basic tiff. We planned a Disney Cruise together and my husband wants to cancel it to put a career change first. I do not. Our original plan was that we would work towards any career changes after the trip, which is in the fall of this year. On the inside this trip was made after nearly loosing our home after he was hurt and couldn't work and after I had a miscarrage in the same year. We had been blessed with the opportunity and decided to take it. Since then he has found a career that he is qualified for, but is not going anywhere because it's a difficult market to maintain employees in. He wants financial stability and is in my opinion, an impatient person. For me, we may noy have another chance like this for a long time, especially if he gets the job. And it's kind-of my fresh start after all that has happened. Neither party wants to back down. What do I do? Cancel, don't cancel? (We can get most of our money back at this point.) For reasons that a difficult to explain, this would be my 2nd cancelled disney trip, fyi. I feel like he basically decided without me and I'm so frustrated I can't take it. Any suggestions are welcome. Also, if this seems juvenille, I apologize.

Me and my husband are separated for 3 years now I have a son for my boyfriend because I'm not divorced they put my husband name on my son birth certificate and the said my boyfriend can't sign on his son birth certificate until I get divorce I'm the only one who signed , that was really sad now me and my boyfriend plain a family vacation now we need a passport for my son what should I do pls need help. asap

The mediator was in the room along with a attorney.the first question he asked her was who filed for divorce, this is when she started talking non stop for over 10 minutes basically making me look like the bad guy by saying I was abusive, i didnt care for my child etc...I have no idea why the mediator would bring up this question we already got divorced its over he should be discussing issues with our child... We have joint custody of him and he is with her 25/30 days every month and I see him every other weekend...I am the one paying alimony/child support every week for 280$ yet I only see him 4 days per month...I brought this up but might have to bring it up again in next session to see if they can increase my times so its already 50/50. The mediator also mentioned if they see any harm etc they can contact DCF...She mad herself look like a crazy women by talking non stop and making me look like a bad father.When my son is with me he is like a normal 8 year old having fun, running around, joking etc... but when he is with her he is scared, trapped, acting like a 20 year old adult i know this for a fact. She also asked that he wants to take my son to counseling but the funny thing is she has already been taking him to some crazy women who deals with female crisis etc without me knowing...but this lady will not see him anymore until I sign some papers...I dont mind him going to counseling but I dont want him going to this same counselor. I am thinking of hiring a attorney!!

If you are not coming straight home from work, do you tell your spouse what time to expect you home? And if you are going to be later than the time you stated, do you call? For instance, let's say you get off of work at 5 but you know you have things you want to do so say you will be home at 6:30. However, the gym takes longer than you expected and you aren't done until 7:30 pm, will you call and let your spouse know? If you are late and don't call, should your spouse be upset or not (in your opinion)? Thanks! :)

going through mediation I said I want to get a lawyer and let the courts handle it but she keeps texting me and calling me begging me to go through mediation, I don't the divorce and frankly I think I will loose everything in mediation because I am a pushover to her and I have a feeling she'll get me to sign whatever she asks for at least with a lawyer I will have someone to look out for my best interests, but it seems to me she either has something to hide or something about getting the divorce over as soon as possible, she says it will save me money why does she care what happens to me if she is divorcing me

I heard a voice that said I would marry my husband someday, but I didn't wait around for him to ask. I married someone else in the meantime, then I got divorced and then we hooked up.

Do you scratch it, refuse, or dig in extra hard?

My wife is brilliant and insane. She is a beautiful person who torments herself daily thinking things that are not true about herself. She thinks she has two more kids biologically when I know for a fact that she doesn't. I've been by her this whole time. I think the guilt center in her brain is malfunctioning. How would I prove her wrong? I can't just go up to random kids and ask for DNA tests (hair, q-tips swabbed on the cheek, etc), that would look weird. She's roughly located two kids that sorta look like her (not really at all).

but they do often in older days.

During a recent "pillow talk session," my wife went into great detail about what she'd do if another couple joined us. I was surprised and very turned on to hear her plans for herself and the woman in our fantasy event. Do you think when people share such details, they're sharing their desires, or was she just being horny that night? I'm wondering.

This question is for divorced/separated mothers'. Did your ex husband acknowledge Mother's Day for you? If so, what did he do? Simply saying Happy Mother's day to you counts.

My wife has this idea that a person should be in constant contact at all times with their spouse. Either via email, phone, or text. My phone is currently on the fritz at the moment because the battery overheated and I had to order a new one. The only way my phone works is I have to have it plugged in at all times. If I unplug it it dies. Well, I am on my computer a lot but my wife relates that to me being on my email. She wants to send emails for random stuff. "Did the mail come?" "How's the weather at home?" "We need dog food." She doesn't understand that I've told her I'm not going to be constantly checking my phone, email, or text to see if I've missed a msg from her. When she goes to work I expect her to work. I go in later in the day. I'm doing things around the house, getting dressed, watching a little tv. I'm not worried that I may have missed something from her. This is what she sent me today and you let me know if she's out of line. "All I talked to you about is the damn dogs as far as dog food. Where is the constant communication? Hell, If I never talked to you, you would be fine with that. You have no problem communicating with everyone else but that's ok. I am learning my role with you. But it's ok if I communicate with others right cause I noticed that others have no problem wanting to talk to me even if it's about the weather. When you are home you have a problem with me talking to you…away from you I can't ask you a simple question. You and your damn rules….sick of it! Have a nice day. I am done with this craziness." Again, I've tried talking to her and talking to her and talking to her to tell her I do not live through my phone or email. She doesn't care to understand. What can I do other than cursing her out? She thinks couples should be in constant contact throughout the day whether it's trivial communication or not!

So my husband and I are living with the in laws (due to circumstances out of our control) and things have gotten... Difficult between his family and I. They all play martyr and every tin one of them does something to me that is totally uncalled for. (I.E his mom threw a temper on fb over saying something in her home with a "my" before it (which anyone that knows me knows it s just something I do) and when one of my friends said it was childish, his sister threatened my friend, so I deleted both of them and that s when things REALLY blew up. Now I m the little bastard that can t in their eyes. My husband tells me to ignore it but dealing with it day in and out really wears you down. So I want to go spend the summer in my hometown and get away and my husband is totally against it because he can t come. How do I explain to him my sanity rests on going away for the summer?

So my wife constantly complains that I am not romantic, even to the point where I am not getting any sex until I give her some romance. I know I am not a Romeo, but here are a few things I frequently do: I post love messages to her social media profile, I cuddle with her, watch romantic movies with her, occasionally cook, always do dishes, daily tell her I love her, I give her sensual massages, get the kids ready for school in the morning, and help the kids with homework. Why can't I make her happy? It's gotten to the point where I am now starting to dislike myself. I am cherish this woman. Why do I feel like her love for me is predicated on my actions as a romantic husband and man? What am I missing?

About two months ago I gave birth to my baby son. My parents were here who abandoned me, abused my husband because my husband has OCD and is a clean freak. They cooked up stories and my siblings are also against me now. My parents haven't contacted me since then and my siblings doesn't show any concern towards me. They hate my husband whose respect is very important to me. Now my husband on the other hand says that he doesn't love me anymore after the incident. He says that he sees my mother in me and hates me everyday. If o say something to him like I'm having a back pain, foot pain etc., he will just ignore me. He tells me to book appointment and see doctor. I am angry with my parents but I also blame my husband for causing such issues. I have no help at home and I run up and down like 25-30 times with the baby. I'm exhausted and when baby sleeps, I cook breakfast or dinner and at night when baby sleeps for a 6 he stretch, I can't sleep coz I'm feeling cold coz because of the AC. If I go and sleep in other room, he starts getting angry. We have no sex coz of my back pain. I'm going through both physical and emotional stress. I know u will suggest me to go for counselling but how will counselling prove my husband's behaviour towards me who think always complaining all the time. It's better to not to talk to him but then he gets mad that I'm not sharing what's in my mind with him. How can I handle this situation?

so i had an affair that lasted for 6 months April - October.. i had sex with him 33x.. i only know that is BC i had a location tracker on my phone and my husband showed me.. anyways now its been since October i ended everything, got a new job so i wouldn't see him anymore.. that's what my husband wanted so i did it.. and now we are falling behind on bills so i got a 2nd job.. anyways long story short. i had a gut feeling he was talking to someone on Facebook, so i hacked his account and wouldn't you know he was.. and now he wants revenge.. he said he wont be satisfied until i feel the pain he felt.. what the hell do i do

The particular case of cheating has went on before the engagement and is ongoing despite marriage plans. The woman doesn't know he cheats but I feel like she will find out.

Last weekend we went out with some friends I ended up drinking way past my limit and blacked out. I wake up the next morning to hug my husband and pushed me off and said I had kissed another guy in front of him and people that know Us. I am so embarrassed and ashamed of my self. I don't know this guy and never spoke to him before. I love my husband and I am terribly sorry. He says he forgives me but when he thinks about it he starts telling me I'm a hoe and that I don't love him if not I never would of done it. I know he has every right to be mad but I don't know what to do. I don't want us to get a Divorce. Any suggestions? Maybe someone has had something similar happened to them? How can I save my marriage ?

My husbands dad passed away and now he feels he needs to do everything for his mother. I don't have anything against him taking care of her, but he has 2 siblings that are mentally unstable. One is an alcoholic with anxiety issues and the other seems to be going thru depression. My mother in law depends on my husband A LOT! I feel he's there for her more than for me. I have nothing against him helping her, but he ends up spending more time with her than with me and our kids. In the tough times my husband and I have had, my mother in law has said things about me ( ex. That she has seen me with other men) which are not true! This just makes me feel that she wants my husband for herself. For him to be there always. My husband does too much for her. He just bought her very expensive furniture just to make her happy. Yes..she is going thru tough times with her son and daughter, but I just feel he is more of a "husband" to her than he is to me. He gives her money which she uses to support my in-laws. So in reality we are supporting the whole family. I don't think this is right! I don't know how to talk to him about this issue because he gets very defensive when it come to his mom. Am I wrong for feeling frustrated. Should I just support him and say nothing.

I found this, knowing it was wrong to snoop. But he has a history of talking to girls over the internet, but has always insisted he has never met them and says its just an axcitement thing. I confronted him and he is pissed off, denies everything and says he jacks off because I never F*ck HIM!! We have 2 children under age 6 and we at least have sex twice a week. Should I believe him? I love him, but I need to know the truth. I am so naive and want to believe we are in love but I have noticed a huge distance bween us... Help Please

The particular case of cheating has went on before the engagement and is ongoing despite marriage plans. The woman doesn't know he cheats but I feel like she will find out.

If you ask your husband why did he marry you and he says he do not know why and he rather not answer what would you think because you have been married for 6 years

Regardless of whether or not he is one himself he has a lot to bring to the table If he is a doctor or lawyer manager making several hundred k a year A girl needs to match him if she doesn't have as high or higher income than him or status beauty just isn't enough If he's gonna take a huge risk and be providing and supporting her for the rest of his life the girl better have saved herself to make it worth it and worthwhile If that's too much to ask western women for a fair trade than I'll follow that GS users advice and go to South East Asia

He wants to be a brewer and I have always been ok with that, however right now I am the bread winner of the family. I bring home about the same as what this new job, which isn't even a secure job, would bring. We have a son (mine from before him) and are trying to have a baby. We get a lot of help from my parents with school and sports. I've explained that if we move, we also lose that help. Commuting is not an option as not having time together has always been a stressor in our relationship. My job has really blossomed into a career that has me on the path to make twice as much as his proposed salary. If this business doesn't work out, we are out everything. It's an industry that is hard to make it in... I was always raised to believe that dreams are all well and good, but you have to take care of business first. He says he doesn't want to resent me and is afraid that will happen if we don't chase his dream. As a mother, the insecurity kills me. Am I being selfish?

My gf is almost done with divorced with her ex husband. I am a currently military personnel, the problem is that he keeps making her life hard he has stolen from her and has tried to assault her. She tried calling the cops when he brook most of her stuff nothing was done. He's claiming he has stuff at her house which he does that he doesn't want to take with him. He keeps telling her watch your back I'm going to catch and threathning her in many ways. What can I do in this situation. I need help plz I don't want to take matters in to my own hands.

Do they not know men get fat too? They don't say that when men complain. I'm not fat but my husband asked me the reason why I wouldn't have sex and i told him but he said he's a man it's ok for him to be fat -_- he's 5'10 330 pounds i'm 5'0 weighing 120... Dashiell: he wasn't like this when we got married

Why does she do this?

I have been married for 3 years now. I am 20 and my husband is 24. We live separate because he chose to go school somewhere far and I live with my in laws. I have begged him to take me and I have cried about it but he is firm in his decision. He comes and visits twice a month. When he is home he always hides his phone. And I have talked to him about this several times and he always says he needs privacy and he thinks I have trust issues. Last night we went out and one of his friend called that is a girl. And right beside me he told her that I'll call you back I am with a friend. And I got really upset about that I told him that really hurt me and he told me that non of his friends know he is married and he doesn't wanna tell anyone because he is top young to be married. And I start crying and he told me to go to the other room and cry because I annoy him. I love my husband so much and he tells me he loves me too, I don't no what to do. I have a full time job I try to keep my self busy with work but it's not helping. I don't wanna lose him. What can I do to make things better?

Is it messed up that I'm geting my taxes this year, and I don't wanna tell my husband about it. The only reason I don't is because I wanna enjoy my summer And go out with friends. I feel kinda bad cause I don't work and he always spends money on me. I stay home with our son which is a job hard one. I don't think I should feel bad plus when ever I get a big pint he wants to take control of the money and put it in his account even thou I worked for it. I feel I should control my own money and do what I want with it

Some women get divorced because they feel like they did not have equality in their marriage... They also feel like they have depended too much on a man to be successful while they are busy raising children at home! Do you think a husband's higher education makes women feel restlessness in the marriage? Is education supposed to make us better people, or create a sense of entitlement that ended up crumbling some women's marriage?

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?

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?
