My husband works full-time as a manager at a fast food restaurant. I m always home alone. I need a pet for emotional support and as a companion. I have PTSD, major depression, and panic attacks. My husband thinks I m replacing him with a pet. I have to choose between my husband or a pet.

He just became a detective. Since then, he has become obsessed with solving this case that he's on. It's like I don't exist to him. I feel guilty wanting more attention from my husband because he is trying to solve a murder, but it still bothers me.

I am in the humble, Tx area, anywhere close by will be awesome.

I am so depressed, I don't know what to do, all I want to do is stay in bed and cry myself to sleep. My life is now been a lie for the last 20 years. I knowing my husband has cheated on me. for 18 years of our marriage. He has a child out there. I know he must as he has little girls in his hidden file and he has been so vicious to me. My sprit has been desolation and he wants more proof before he tells me anything.

We are parents to a toddler who is now on a roll with talking. My husband since way back when I met him, has a bit of a mouth. He has never sworn at me, but he will do it in traffic, when watching the game, when he drops something, you get the idea. When we had our son we joked about how he would need to mind his mouth. Now, it's not a joke but a reality. Can anyone else speak from experience on not nagging, but reminding your spouse to mind their sailor mouth around small children? First world problem, I know, but the last thing I want is for the little parrot in our house to start dropping f-bombs like daddy. Again, I hope people can see the lightheartedness of this question. He can curse like a sailor all he wants, I'd just prefer it not be around the kiddo.

We got together at 16 and 17 and broke up many times over the years. He cheated on me and I found out and forgave him. The next time we broke up and were about to get back together, he admitted that he had cheated on me since then, with two other girls. We still got back together and still broke up more times. We always broke up and got with new people, none of which lasted longer than a month. After our baby turned one, we had a fight where I accused him of cheating because a woman gave him toys for our baby, and he broke up with me. I figured he'd come back, like always. But he met a girl. And never looked back. He proposed to her after 6 months, and 3 months later, they got married and had a huge, gorgeous wedding. MY dream wedding... Now his wife and our baby have the same last name as him, and I don't and never did. He just left me a single mom and gave all my dreams to a new girl. I went on a few dates with some new guys, and had sex in my car on the first date with a few of them. :( They didn't talk to me after that... Which makes me feel even stupider. And I started dating a guy for a month, to find out he does drugs. So I ended it. I just have a hard time moving on. We were together for 6 years. Now he's living with someone. He never lived with me. He proposed with a gorgeous ring that should be on MY finger. He had a wedding with her when it should have been ME. They have all these nice things & a nice life. Everything I wanted. My family together... Please help!

My husband and I plan on having kids on the next year or two and I would like for him to quit smoking or at least cut back. We've discussed this a few times and he seemed excited about the family we want to start and seemed to agree and for a while even slowed down with the cigarettes but a few days later went back to his normal habits. I would like to once again bring up quitting, but as a person who has never smoked, I don't know how to help or how to go about asking him to quit without him feeling like I'm pressuring him. Any ex smokers, or people who have helped someone quit, please help!

I can't get passed this thinking. I know there is a lot more to marriage than a wedding and a honeymoon, but for some reason I just can't see past to those things. I have no clue why. I keep telling myself all that marriage means and takes, but I still view it like I did when I was a pre-teen. I know I'm not ready for marriage, but i feel as if I never will be. Why do I have this mind-set? How do I get past this mind-set? A wedding and a honeymoon mean everything to me. Without them, I see no point in marriage. How can you not value them?

I dont get it. Have you ever noticed when someone catches their significant other cheating, they always go after the person whom their lover was cheating with? Why is that? Why dont they go after the person who did the cheating? 9 out of 10 times the person who is used for cheating doesnt even know the individual had a husband or wife, so taking it out on him/her is pointless. I believe all that anger and rage should be used on the cheater herself/himself.

She doesn t want anything from me but has lied enough to stall a no contest settlement for 2 years after 10 months of marriage (no kids & only a time share as property). She doesn t want to reconcile either and I cannot afford my lawyer anymore especially since she drained the joint accounts. Before this she also had a former coworker of her brotherinlaw pose as her lawyer for 4 months while I waited for the paperwork to sign. I asked the contact to confirm that she was retained (because my wife said that we d share her services) and she evaded that part of the question until my eventual lawyer found out that she wasn t retained. Do I have any recourse?

at first he said it was OK. now he's telling me that he has to think about it.

Hello. I am 27, and engaged to my fiance who is 35. He doesn't know about any of this. Am I obligated to tell him? It's not like I've kept it from him, it just never really came up. I was sexually abused as a child when I was 10. When I was 14, I was raped. My drug problems started when I was 15.I went to a good college, I'm an intelligent person, but my party life escalated. I had tried to kill myself twice. After I graduated, I went off the deep end. I didn't talk to my family for two years. I did so much cocaine, and lost 40 pounds. I was a prostitute, and was probably raped multiple times, ,but my memories are fuzzy from it. I had a melt down from all of the drugs on the street, and a woman noticed me, and I enrolled in rehab. I recovered fairly quickly. I got an actual job, and am doing really well now. I feel like I'm lying to him. Should I say anything? How do I?

I'm about to get divorced and someone is already on my tail to start a new relationship with me. Am I going too fast? Should I wait it out? Is it healthy starting a new relationship after divorce?

My husbands dad is a CFO and they have always had lots of money. Before I was adopted, I lived on the streets and was taken into CPS custody due to bad conditions. I have always been very frugal (washing foil, Ziploc bags, etc). I will stay in the dark until it gets dark outside to save $ on electricity. Before we met, I had made a few savings accounts for my son and emergency needs ( got divorced and had to move back in w/mom). After we married, my husband announced that those accounts now belonged to him and that he was free to spend from them as he wanted. He even bragged to his buddies that HE has money in savings and his buddies told him to put a down payment on an 18 wheeler so he can be an owner operator (his dream, he's a co driver now). I was furious he ran his mouth about my $ situation. When he brushes his teeth, he leaves the water on for a long time and the shower runs 20 mins before he even steps foot in it. We tried the Dave Ramsey program (he has brought in a bunch of debt and his parents told me he would always overdraft their joint acct with him) he went maybe 2x to DR and refused to participate. He says using cash is stupid and a waste of time, when he can have the convenience of his debit card. How can I make him see the truth and change? I have some relatives who have taught and live by the Dave Ramsey program (cash only, envelopes, emergency fund) and are debt free and living a good life and they are only about 40 yrs old. It must be noted that my CFO father in law who brags about making around $200k a year financed a $50k pool + outdoor tv/fireplace/gas log system + grill. They also have very expensive outdoor furniture, bought their 16 yr old a 2 year old Camaro (which he has already wrecked 3x) and cashed out his stock options to buy a new SUV when his car lease was up. I understand his parents are not good with money and have probably taught this to him. Yet they always tell is "live below your means"

My ex-wife has full custody of the children Who are currently 17 in senior and 15 in freshman . She bought a house out in the suburbs but the children still go to school in the city and they want to continue going to school in the city . So she is planning on leaving the children with her mother in the city while she lives out in the suburbs . She thought that it will be a good idea for the children to move in with me even though I have no custody . Went to court to ask for custody and the court gave her 30 days to decide whether she wants to give me joint custody. Ever since then we cannot get along we can come to an agreement just constantly texting and arguing . And telling me that she won t give me joint custody and is planning on leaving the children were her mom in the city instead. The court allow this ? Wouldn t this be called abandonment ? Do I have a chance of getting full custody since they are currently living with me for the last month and a half and do everything for them . She has not been around .

i got married to my wife a few months ago. it all happened in a venue which ONLY SHE wanted, but i had to pay for since she was going to school at the time and still is (what cost me 3,500 $), and since i am not american citizen, i also had to pay for a lawyer to deal with my immigration paperwork (900$), not including my flight ticket (1,200 $) However, throughout my stay in her brother's apartment, she had to spend her money on groceries and books that she had to buy for school etc. Now that I'm back in my home country for the initial interview at the american embassy, she now and then asks me for money to help her pay for stuff I find it kind of rude for her to ask me for money after all the crazy amount of cash i had to blow to make this marriage work, and now that i finally have time to spend money on myself, she has the urge to ask me for more, let alone the fact that even though we're technically married, I still do not know for sure if i will get to spend my life with her because my interview is still pending. What should I do?

My husband wanted me to download a app for him on his phone and under the top 2 most recent app searches was omegle and kik? [If your not familiar with Omegle it's a stranger chat site. You have no user name or account. You download it and it hooks you up with someone right away to chat and it has the option to send pics if the person wanted] If he was chatting with girls would it be considered cheating? Should I talk to him about it? In my opinion a married man should nother have those apps. What makes me mad is it's ok for him to chat to strangers but I can't even have Snapchat??

I would love to find a weekend retreat where my husband and I can work on strengthing our marriage and intimacy. A Christian experience would be ideal and some counseling would be nice also. We have a great relationship but it can always be better. I am also hoping to find a place that had fun activities as we rarely have time away from the kids. Any recommendations? Oh, and we live south east. Thank you

My husband never let's me see his phone. I figured out his password and read on his messenger that he wish a Facebook friend a "happy birthday beautiful" he later asked if she still worked at the store in which she replied "no" he then said "so I can't even go see you now" we've been married for a year 1/2 please let me know what you think. I've asked him who is the girl he has as "beautiful" on his phone he says "nobody" I ask him if there is something going on and he says "nothing" and stays quite. Let me know your thoughts please.

I am distraught and completely broken. I don't have ANYbody I can turn to before I confront him about this situation... and I just NEED some other opinions on this. I was on YouTube and noticed some VERY weird suggestions on the homepage, so I turned to the history section to see why such weird videos were appearing. Turns out, somebody has been watching videos like "Teen braless OOTD" or young girls (like 13-17) doing things not necessarily sexual, just kind of watching them do things... There are some yoga ones and just gross things a man shouldn't be looking at. When I asked him, he said somebody must have hacked his account. Following, I checked the internet history. I had to. I needed to know. I know I shouldn't be prying, but this could be a real issue. I found some alarmingly young teens. Most of them had baby faces, small boobs, and just looked prepubescent. He also was looking at "family nudist pageants" and "teen nudes" and on that family nudist website, there were children... CHILDREN! Naked. They were covered up by flowers but they were naked. (by children I mean aged 12-14). What do I do? Do I confront him? My husband and I met when I was 19 and he was 28. I have no friends I can talk to about this, or family. If you were my friend or had a friend who just found this out what advise would you give?

They have their reasons but they are stupid reason. Basicly i think my family just dosne't like that i am with a black guy. But it has been 7 months now n we have plans of moving in together. n i think they have accepted the relationship but still don't really like that i am with him. But who cares i love him he treats me well n he makes me happy. I have never been happier in my life n i think they finally r starting to see that. Anyways he has this big nice out planned for me "his princess" for Christmas and his present is expensive and he called me his future wife yesterday and his dad said he had talked to him about it. N maybe i am overthinking this but i think he may propose around Christmas time idk? How do you think my family will take that if he does? ( i am almost 20 he is 22 we r both adults.)

Tomorrow is my wife's birthday, but I'm too stressed to even think of it. My wife has been having these terrible mood swings since we've been dating. I took it as a "time of the month" thing when we dated. But it's has gotten worse since marriage. I'm still hurt over not receiving anything for Father's Day! Not even a card! I've accepted her two kids as my own and we have a one year old together. And let's not blame child stress on her because I handle everything with the kids in the evenings. I basically do everything because we're all walking on eggshells because of her anger and mood swings. I feel less than a man because the one time I stood up to her, she physically assaulted me. I'm so stressed and almost depressed and forget about counseling because she always felt like the counsellors were picking on her in premarital counseling. Should I buy her something? I don't want to be petty, but I feel like I'll be giving into her bad behavior once again.

My wife hasn t been diagnosed as borderline, but I know she suffers from this illness immensely. We ve been married two, almost three years. Her mood swings, lack of affection and empathy, food binges and overspending of money has taken its toll on me. She s extremely manipulative and controlling too. She controls me with her anger because she knows I ll never disrespect her because of my two step kids and my one year old with her. The mood swings have been coming frequently and our sex life has decreased considerably. She neve compliments me, apologizes or is accountable for her actions. I say she suffers from BPD because she had a traumatic childhood in which her mom abandoned her and was left to be raised by her dad, who may not be her dad. She also dealt with abuse from one of her stepdads, her oldest sister is bipolar, her youngest sister is very narcissistic and possibly BPD and I now figure my wife is the apple that didn t fall far from the tree. How do I get out because I can t afford a divorce and I can t go live with someone at 34. Please help!

My parents have no relationship at all They have not slept in the same bed since I was in elementary school, I'm 21 now. My parents used to yell a lot when I was young and my dad would threaten to leave. He never did though. My mom used to be able to have normal conversations with my dad, until he started ignoring her and making smart comments. He sleeps in the basement every night, hangs out in the garage all day/night. The garage is more like a house now, it has a tv, radio,tables,fridge and cabinets. I'm not joking. He leaves fairly often without telling anyone where he is going, and has spoken maybe 10 words average to me and my mom this week. This has been going on for years, but has gotten noticeably worse this year. I feel so bad for my mom. I want to tell her to leave him so bad and that I'll be fine on my own, but I don't feel I should. This is really hurting her, she crys and has told me everything she feared is coming true. She is jealous of other families and wants to go out and have fun as a couple but she has no way to. I cry thinking about this, it's not fair to her. I know life isn't fair but this is just sad.

So I found out again my husband was cheating on me! this happened before 3 months after we got married, we broke up for a year then we spoke and got back together and I feel pregnant! 3 months after having put gorgeous son he was out doing it again! So I chucked his things out and got his friend to pick them up. But now i feel like he's an addiction?? I'm finding it so hard to brake away, he will text me saying how sorry he is and how he wants to sort it all out and asks to meet for food! So I run and do this every time knowing I don't want to deep down because it will always happen? Has anyone else had this feeling like your just addicted!? And how did you brake away? Thank you so much for any answers! I need advice and have no one to talk to about the situation xx

My husband and I have been together for 4 years and have been married for one. My husband was with his ex for on and off 11 years. His ex has maintained a very close relationship with my in laws which never bothered me as long as my in laws kept our relationship with them and their relationship with her separate. But over time, it stopped being that way. His ex is constantly emailing him because he blocked her number trying to get back into his life. She has even contacted me wanting to convince him to see her. Yeah right.... she has gone so far as to spread lies to mutual friends about our lives and has tried to make me believe he s cheating on me with her. I trust my husband completely and know that it isn t true. I was able to ignore it until I found out my mother in law was involved. She has been telling his ex personal details of our lives and has known about all of the hurtful things his ex is doing to my husband and I. I have spoken to her as well as my husband about severing ties with his ex. But she refuses to stop having a close friendship with her and tells me I need to stop being an "insecure little girl." My husband and I are so uncomfortable being around his parents because of how disrespected we feel, and he no longer wants to speak to his parents. He also doesn t want me to, to protect me from all of the hurt. Is no longer speaking to them the right thing to do at this point?

Get matching tats with her (and she's supposed to be married herself) and they text each other all the time it's it 10/21/15 2:00am and she's texting his phone (he's sleep) he told me he doesn't talk to her anymore but clearly that's a lie if I say something he will get mad and defensive and protect her not me saying If I ever message her or bother her he will never forgive me I've never met her or contacted her but he use to go to her house almost every night (he may still do as she lives 8 min up the road) I'm pregnant with our 4th and idk if it's just jealousy ,pregnancy our paranoid. Please idk what to do I don't want to miss carry over stress. Should I contact her or just let it be

He met her when he went to school in another state. She went to the same school. When he finally told me that he had met someone else, it was by text message. About 2 months later, we got back together. But about 2 months later, I got another text message. He said that he was going to focus on himself for once. Didn't say anything about her. But of course I found out that he is with her again. I love him more than anything in this world & I want him to come home & work on our marriage. 25 yrs together is to much time to just throw it all away.

He was with his ex for 6 years, from high school until adulthood. They had a child 4 years into their relationship, however, after things not working out time and time and time again, my husband ended it for good and went out with a few other women, who never lasted long, until he met me. Then he was head over heels and he proposed to me after a year, then we got married. His child is awesome and we get along great. :) I love being a stepmother. He and his ex fight a lot, which sucks. They always had a rocky relationship. Still, I sometimes find myself wondering how I can top their relationship? Just in terms of them being together so long, and if he thinks about her because they did SO much together and stuff. How can I not think about those things? I want us to have a fresh start and last forever and make him forget all the memories with her by giving him better ones. Is that normal? How can I do this? Does anyone have any advice? I'm sure you understand what I mean, right? Thank you, Scott, for your kind words! You're awesome! :)

I saw a text on my wife's phone and i could tell her and her friend were complaining about their husbands. I wonder if I should say something or if this is normal?

I ve never heard of this before yet he claims to know lots of families that do this. Does anyone actually do this???? My parents are also divorced and I can t imagine my Dad, Step-mom and Mom spending a holiday together that isn t my son s birthday. Help!
