My in laws are considering coming to our place for TG this year. I am known as the cook in my family and my husband has mentioned that his mom's cooking isnt his favorite thing, but for me to keep that quiet. Anyways, his mother is convinced that she makes the best apple pie on planet earth (its from a well known cookbook, nothing spectacular). She told me that if they came she wants to bring an apple pie for her son because "he likes it alot". My husband said he doesnt care either way, and she needn't make him a pie. Why is she so determined to cook for her grown son? I just dont see why she needs to go out of her way

Let's say parents are fighting everyday in front of their kids or there's abuse going on isn't it better to get a divorce instead of fighting in front of the kids everyday. People say you shouldn't divorce easily but I say if both parties aren't happy they should do what's best for the child and divorce. The kid will be much happier and better off.

My cousin got married about four months ago. Some things just seem strange now. For example, she stopped hanging out with any of her friends. She barely talks to me even. Also, I saw her once and she was saying her knee and hip hurt. When asked why she said she didn't know. Then a few weeks later she had to wrist in a cast, not a brace, saying she had real bad carpal tunnel. One day I hugged her and she said ouch because she said she was sore. She said maybe she just has fibromyalgia. She also posted on facebook " I guess sometimes you really do hurt the one you love :(" I've tried asking her and she tries to change the subject. I texted her once and my brother in law texted back saying, "This is Caleb. No Hannah can't meet you for lunch." I mean she had her* wrist in a cast

less and less people seem to be getting married...do you think it will continue to be a tradition forever?

Or second try? He was kinda rude yesterday. So, today. I just ignored him because I figured there was nothing for us. I guess I didn't make a good impression or I wasn't pretty enough? There are plenty of men at the gym who are much nicer... But this guy is very hard to read. It seems he was always checking me out, too.

We were at a building some were an the water kept rising an we were in the car an didn t think it was that deep so we drove right in the water an noticed we were going to the bottom an my husband was on the phone with some one but it started to get darker an darker the windows started to Crack an that s when I woke up...can any one tell me what they think please??

My boyfriend and I are in different stages in our lives right now and age plays a big part in it. I'm 23 and he's 32. Right now, we live in different cities and he works at a Taco Bell. I on the other hand, do not work and i'm not involved in school (YET!). I have enrolled in college to start in January but my boyfriend is talking about wanting to start a family because he's not getting any younger. I can understand that but right now i want to go to school so i can become financially stable enough to support our future children because lets be real here, we cannot support kids with checks from Taco Bell. He wants to start a family now and he means so much to me but i feel that i need to go to school. The school is actually further away from the city he is in than the one i'm currently in and that will put a strain on our relationship. So i guess my question is, should i move to where he is and look for a college there or should i go to the one i enrolled in? I also want kids but we need money to support ourselves and them also. He actually wants to go to a cooking school but he feels that he will not be smart enough to do the work. He's a high school drop out but he has his own apartment and is working. I told him that he can do anything he puts his mind to but he lacks confidence. What should i do? Would it make sense if i were to put my dreams on hold right now and start a family because college will always be there?

We started exercising together then she stops of corse and no more gym. i continue and make some muscle gains. Im also trying lose my gut watch what I eat. Now she accuses me of wanting someone else really...? I cant win with her. Now to make her happy I must be fat and flabby and ait with her in the couch. I dont know what tomdo anymore?

I love my hubby, and we are happy, for 3 years just us! I love our lives and I don't want any kids - im barely 25 and want to do some traveling, I have a great job and looking at a promotion next year - our lives are busy. I like it just the two of us and personally think having a kid will make things chaotic and stressful. I don't want that....

My Ex husband and I were together for 5 years, we divorced a decade ago. He's been with his fiancee for 4 years now and have recently made public their plans to marry. I have never cared for this woman but theres nothing I can do about it.I do have mounds of regret over how things ended with my ex, and given that my relationship with my current boyfriend of 8 years has been extremely draining on me, its hard to see my ex so happy with someone else. But with my feelings aside, My kids have recently told me they dont want their dad marrying his fiancee and they wish their father and I could get back together again. I brought this up to my ex Husband but he says theyre just kids so they dont know what they want and that hes entitled to happiness too..I also told him that our 2 sons do not want him marrying his fiancee but he says thats not their decision to make. Is he being selfish putting his relationship ahead of our kids wants? How do I make him see this? They should have a say in this because he has full custody so they'll have to live with her and if they do not want her around then she shouldnt be, right? How do I explain this to him?

Ok this is the first big fight me and my wife have had, but I'm really depressed and confused on how I should be feeling. I'd really like your guys' feedback on this. Anyways my wife's childhood friend came to stay with us for a week. Everything was fine, then on the last night she was here we went to dinner in separate cars and when I got home from dinner, my wife didn't come back until and hour and a half later. I asked what took her so long and she said they stopped at an outlet mall on the way home but didn't buy anything and I dropped it at that. Well to make a long story short my wife was married once before and had 3 children with the guy, they are all grown up now so my wife and this guy basically never talk so I thought. Then yesterday my wife's daughter was over while my wife was still at work and she inadvertently told me that my wife and her friend stopped at her ex's house to see his new baby that night after dinner. My wife's daughter thought I already knew and didn't realize that I had been at old a different, bull **** story about shopping. I played it cool and said oh yeah, she told me about that. Her daughter left and my wife came home and I lost my cool. I flipped out and told her what I found out. My wife said that she knew I'd get mad so she thought it best to keep it a secret. She said they were only there for half an hour and she only gave him a hug. I said how could you do this and lie to me, and she said it was no big deal and I was being stupid about She said I was being stupid about it.I blew up and broke every glass in the kitchen, broke the cabinet door, smashed a light and all her perfume bottles. I screamed at her and called her a lying whore and she started crying. I left the house and didn't return until a few hours later once I called off a little. I was still angry but I decided to apologize and she told me that I'm crazy and I have serious anger issues. She said she's not talking to me until I go talk to a counselor about my anger and now she's staying at her mothers house. I absolutely feel like I did nothing wrong....did I lose my temper and break some things yes, but my wife did me wrong and she knows it. I'm really depressed because she did this to me. First the visit to her exes and then she lies...in front of her friend??? It's like there was a whole little conspiracy going on against me and I hate it. I still love my wife and want to make amends should I get counseling or am I not in the wrong here?

The divorce rate is too high and it has a strong effect on families and children psychologically, socially, and economically. Plus, single parents are least likely to be financially secure than a family that's happy, working, and making enough money to pay the bills. In times of financial downturn, it's not a good idea to take this risk.

He had been married before and had a son with her but they broke up because he wasn't faithful to her. She remarried another man and he was depressed for several years and had no girlfriends. He was really sorry about what he did, he did love her. He moved really far becauase of his new job offer, its when he met me. We were really good friends and I never had any intentions to develop feelings for him. I became his support, and I was always there for him, but only because I considered him a friend, and also he was supportive when I needed someone. We became fwb and it wasn't really expected, I was actually in denial that any of it was happeninf for a while since I had broken heart too from a previous relationship. when I decided to end it he suddently told me he was developing feelings for me, he got on his knees and asked me to be his girlfriend. I accepted. Sometimes I am still bothered that he loved her and can't fet it off my mind. He tells me he loves me and feels lucky to have found me but I can't stop feeling like he might still have feelings for her. I just want to be with him but those thoughts still bother me.

She feels equal with us. she doesn't feel equal with society and the laws. She can't marry us. and that piece of paper means a lot to her. she loves us and wants this yet at the same time accepting that means she will never get married. and she is having a super hard time dealing with the outside source of that. i understand where she is coming from but i have the paper so i don't full get it if you catch my drift.

My husband plays drums and a small amount of guitar. I have had years of training on guitar and have played it and bass for over 10 years (yes I am female). I have found that I can no longer go into our bedroom and play guitar without him following me into the bedroom, getting out his guitar, and trying to out do me by playing louder than I do. I have confronted him about this and how he is interfering with my "me time". He sees nothing wrong with what he does and says its a free country, he can play if he wants. He never, ever plays guitar unless I get mine out. What is his problem? If I go and try to listen to the online radio alone while doing laundry, etc he comes in and starts looking @ videos online or listening to music and he will also try to make his phone as loud as he can to irritate me (presumably) It is irritating that I cannot practice my instrument without him coming in and acting like a fool.

Is it now a popular culture? is there any statistics?

What to do? I am ready to lose it. He wont admit he has a problem with his actions.

Our anniversary is 2 days before my dad s birthday. My dad tragically just passed away last month, we were extremely close. I feel like our anniversary, which should be a joyous occasion, will forever be overshadowed by grief. I now wish we hadn t chosen that day to get married but it was the anniversary of when we started dating so it seemed right at the time. Is it crazy to want to "change" your anniversary? Are there any couples out there with similar situations?

phone open and saw she had texted a guy friend of hers keep in mind he is married ..I saw where she was telling him her hours at work and said I'm free are you...I ask her about this she said I love you and I'm sorry ...what should I do?

Is it ok to flirt with someone if you are married. At a wedding a few weeks ago we were chatting to this guy and I must admit I flirted loads with him. My husband was practically sleeping he was so drunk so he didn't notice. I had never met this guy before. However he rang my husband last week to see how we were after the wedding and asked especially how I was. I have been thinking a lot about him since. I don't think I would ever act on my feelings. But would be very easily tempted to. I feel terrible to my husband and children for having these taught

I feel like lately my husband is a million miles away, and doesn't know what to say or do; as though he might hurt me. Fighting on the other hand, he's really hard to get to back down, unlike before. Please help me understand why.

So I like to drink beer. Though I have cut back from appox. 60 a week to around 24, so basically a third of my regular weekly intake. Here I am sober last night, and the week before.... and she is complaining about my drinking still. Only thing I can think of is she is going insane. Maybe my drinking caused her to go into this condition? But I have provided well for her, and she says I am both a good father and husband. I do not get violent when I drink, and I always try to stay below my "drunk" level. SO why does she still complain as I am sitting there on the couch with her....cold beer 10 feet away and I'm not drinking one? Thanks.

My husband is dying to go to this concert in Boston on New Years Eve. However, we are visiting my dad in Pittsburgh over the holiday so he can t go. I am planning on booking a flight to Boston for him that day so that he can see them and then come back the next day. I can t stand the band so I m sending him solo so he can better enjoy it. Should I tell him a day or two before so that he has time to get the things he needs? Or can I just drop him off at the airport with a backpack with things he ll need and totally surprise him? I want to do the latter but I m worried I ll forget to pack something that he needs/wants. Also, if the concert ends around midnight and the return flight is at 9:45 in the morning, should I bother getting him a room or should he just hang out at the airport until then?

My girlfriend, of a month and a half, lives with her parents, kids, and husband(they haven't started the divorce yet). Everyone knows we date but they don't approve and want her and her husband to stay together even though she says she no longer loves him. The situation makes me feel uncomfortable. How would you feel?

Is there an agency/dating sites that specializes in this particular field? I managed to find 1 site but it doesn't seem very trustworthy to me and it requires your credit card information just to sign in which made me a little hesitant. Also, how much should you expect spend on her each year? Would 100k-200k be appropriate or do you think it is too less? My maximum amount is around 500k but I would rather use that money to reinvest in my business. Also, I travel quite frequently - mostly to southeast Asian countries. Would that make it harder to find a suitable bride? Thanks.

as a way of showing her love and affection

I know good wife is obedient wife who doesn't complain but what do I do? Do ignore it?

Another person.

Every time husband and I are intimacy, he always goes too hard and I ask him to be more gentle but he does not. what can I do?

My wife was adopted as a baby. She found out as a young child, and has never sought a relationship with her biological parents. We have discussed her bio-parents, and she has repeatedly told me that she has no interest in meeting them. Well, the other day, I received a phone call at home from a lady claiming to be her biological mom. I told the woman that m wife doesn't live here and that she has the wrong information. I haven't told my wife about it. Part of me fears that she actually wanted to talk to the woman. I didn't take any information and have no way to contact the woman if my wife chooses to. Was I right to hide this woman from my wife? I'm afraid to tell her, because I don't want her to get mad at me.

My husband is always angry and always yells at me or my daughter who is 4. He constantly curses at me and blows up if i ever tell him how i feel about something. He recently told me i was a bad mom which is like the last knife in my back. He knows that everything i do is for my kids/family and they matter so much to me. Its like he tries to hurt me as bad as he can. I dont know what i do wrong. He doesnt say anything in particular. He said i do nothing for the family today but thats a lie. Ive busyed my butt to provide for my family and make everyone happy. I think there is somwthing wrong with him updtairs maybe as he isnt happy with any car he buys or house and wants to buy new about 6 months later if not less. Idk....i guess what should i do? I cant tell him how i feel or he will blow up and say horrible things to me that break me down even more.

My husband and I have been married for 8 years and we have 3 kids. He s always expressing his love to me and doesn t like to c me sad. But at work, there s this woman whom he works with, they have so much stuff in common. I don t work, I m a house wife. The other woman is really successful and is not married. As far as I know, they have never been alone together. They traveled to Europe with a group of people. He always mentions her. He sent me lots of picture for himself and the group and she s always standing beside him. But when he came back, I looked into his phone and found many pictures for them together and many pictures just for her. He opened his office to help her and her association in some issue, they were not alone, 2 people were with them. But why would he do that??? Just to help her???? And on the whatsapp he s always checking on her and sometimes for no reason.. am I being paranoid??? He always expresses his love for me but what if.........

Lately, my husband has had very little work and we have not really been able to afford groceries. We have 2 kids and 1 on the way. I work 2 part time jobs, but bills need to be paid with that. Often, my mother will pitch in and help us with some groceries in exchange for me cleaning her house or doing home maintenance for her since she is handicapped. When we do get any groceries in the house, my husband will eat like a complete pig and often I go without meals. The kids are always fed, but he gets angry if they "take away food from him". His argument is that he is a very hard worker who works long hours and is "entitled" to eat the food. Today I have not had one thing to eat and gave the food that I was going to eat to my kids. He sees nothing wrong with it and actually implied that I can miss a meal or 2. Is his argument correct: that because he works full time, he should get the majority of the food? We ordered pizza yesterday (rare) and he ate an entire large pizza himself. I had a few slices of mine left over and he took that for his lunch, leaving me absolutely nothing.
