A study conducted by Purkyne University and Charles University, Prague, found that relationships have a better success rate when one partner (regardless of gender) is more dominant than in relationships where both partners are equal. What are some of the reasons why this is the case?

My husband is great, when only 2 of us together, when nobody is around! I do everything inside & outside of our house, besides taking care of him, when he often gets sick. He shows his love & appreciation for that & he is respectful. I demand not too much from him. However 1 thing has been bothering me for over 20 years, which I repeatedly complain about it. He said he'll do better next time, but he has not changed. Here is my problem: If there is a 3 party is present regardless of where we are, our home or in any public setting, my husband turns into a conversation maniac. He hogs any conversation & talks only about himself. He did so many great things for this country & traveled widely. He has a lot to talk. But it gets annoying for me and other folks. I can often sense this kind of situation, they usually become very quiet. I do not learn about other people in his presence. Besides he completely forgets about me & becomes a very cold disrespectful & arrogant. I act normal and show my love, appreciation and respect towards him regardless of where/whom with we are. I have no time, interest and capacity to act. I try to treasure our love and life together. We had a fight about this issue about 20 years ago, we still do now. I can not change him. I am so sick. We still need see some family member, friends and other folks at least once a year. I need change "me". What can do?

My grandma got married when she was 14 and grandpa was 16!!!! I can never do that lol... I was still a child at 14 lol I think the best time to get married is early/mid 20s. Late 20s are also ok I guess

I was married to my husband for 6 months. He had always been a little pushy.. It recently got worse. We had some altercations and he had started accusing me of cheating and he would get angry and push me around. He would drag me outside and lock me out of the house with no keys or phones, no way to get in. It was freezing cold out. He would slam me into walls, He shoved me off of our Front porch over the railing. One time he choked me. I have a voice recording of the whole fight and you can here me telling him i couldn't breathe and he clearly says i hope you choke.. There's also more hes done. But i don't really have other proof. I left in him in October 2015. We filed for divorce. I was afraid to press charges. But hes being rude to me again... is it too late to press charges?? Please help! No rude answers..im stressed enough.

I am pretty sure that my wife is a lesbian. We were child hood sweethearts. I loved her and she loved me. But I always felt like I loved her more than she did me. I always noticed that she would look at girls for a bit too long. Particularly their bottom area. I thought she was just being competitive or something like that. But the other day, I went on her computer and saw a long list of lesbian porn history dating back months. I then remember her saying she wouldn't mind a threesome with another girl early on in our relationship. Obviously, as a man I cant compete with a girl. I don't know what to say to her. I am petrified at what the outcome may be. I love her so much. She is the sweetest and most loving person you'd ever meet. I am not exaggerating. I don't want to lose her.

Me and my wife have been going to marriage counseling once a week for 8 sessions. In the sessions, I bring up all these things my wife does that infuriate me (I believe I act in accordance with how married people should act, and my wife doesn't, I see a counselor and he agrees, as well as people who know us both.) In the marriage counseling sessions, the counselor never calls my wife out such as "Doing (insert what ever you like, adultery, over-spending, insults, no communication) is not conducive to a marriage you shouldn't do that, but rather...." In fact, the counselor says "I'm not here to judge your relationship or what you do, you have to figure out a way to get along". My wife, for every complaint I bring up, comes back with points I have never even heard before, and I believe its a tactic to just diminish the impact of my complaints. So it turns into bickering. I've lost patience with the sessions, but I don't want to give up on the marriage (maybe the sessions are telling me I should give up). I just cant believe the marriage counselor wont call out my wife. If an adulterous person is married to a person who is not, they go to counseling, isn't the counselor going to say "Look you can't fool around on your spouse and expect a happy marriage". I mean isn't this obvious? I suppose if they were swingers, it may not make sense to say, but me and my wife are not in some weird or strange arrangement. I think people who have answered this are dead wrong. Marriage is a covenant between two people, this is explicit in marriage vows (forsake all others, till death do us part, etc. etc. When one person behaves opposite to these vows, the other spouse first should speak up, if they don't listen then someone needs to tell them they have broken their vows. At a minimum, the counselor should at least call someone out and say your not working on this. If they feel ganged up on, then for good reason If I was acting like an *** and the counselor thought it, but wouldn't say it because he "didn't want to gang up on me", I would be angry. I would want to know if my behavior wasn't consistent with moral and ethical limits of the society we live in. If all they have to is sit there and get people to agree, anybody could be a counselor. It basically says a marriage is nothing other than what is "agreed".

My husband is experiencing mixed emotions about divorce. He wants it but he doesn't. He still loves me but not as deeply. He doesn't want marriage counseling because he doesn't feel comfortable talking to a stranger about about personal life. I don't know how we can fix the problems in our marriage. It's not like they're gonna fix themselves. Maybe over time. The root to our marital problems is he doesn't trust me. I'm looking for employment but haven't been successful yet. The neighbors help themselves to whatever they want. I tell them no and they mouth me of and take what they want regardless. I was raped a year ago. I hung out with a guy as friends drinking and smoking and he forced himself upon me. I told the guy no and stop but he wasn't listening to me. I regret putting myself in that situation to begin with. What should we do?

I'm thinking about getting married, I don't have any reasons but those two... I want to feel loved and wanted as a man and as a person, and in my society marriage is the only way to have sex! There is this girl who is related to me (Her father is my mother's cousin) who likes quiet and being alone like me, she talks to me and tells me all her news, she is a good person and we are on basically the same level culturally and financially and that's it. I want you to tell me are those valid reasons to get married. and are those valid reasons to get married to this particular girl. Does love have more than these. I am 22 years old and never been in a relationship, and it's very hard for me to get to know a girl this close. I'm worried that if I left pursuing her (as I didn't tell her I want to marry her but I hinted) that I'd be wasting a chance with a good person. I needed to ask because I don't have any idea what love or marriage is or what to expect and that's why I'm thinking about marrying her as we are suitable to each other. Please tell me your opinions and advice. I don't know if I love her... as I said I know we're suitable but I don't have a clue what love is, and that's why I asked :) I know that sex plays a small part but I don't know what else to look for, you know I just listed all the things I know about love and marriage and I know they are flawed and incomplete but I don't have any source of info about it. @Pick This:- It's true that I don't know if I love her or not, but the thing is I don't know what love is, will I feel something different about the girl or is it all about the girl having the traits I love, I'm really lost!

But they having problems now with the birth certificate. She doesn't want to be with her husband anymore. She loves the new guy. I guess what I'm asking is, how does she kept it from being her husband last name, and for it to have the new guys last name. Her husband is not the father. How would she go about that?

I am in the middle of a child custody battle with my ex Are daughter is 5, I am worried about living arrangements. My x left and moved in with another woman where my child has her own room. I had to move back in with my parents due to the fact that my house had no heat and the floors were falling in. And I could not afford it because he refused to pay child support even though I had are daughter 5 days out of the week. The problem is with staying with my parents is me and my daughter share a room and a bed. Which since she was 1 she has slept with me. Her guardian of litam is doing a home visit next week. I have a place to rent but I am saving up for the deposit. Which will hopefully be in a few weeks. Any suggestions on what to do.

So me and my wife are big football fans, pro and college and we had some fun yesterday watching football eating wings and drinking beer all day. So we both got frisky and not too long after I had my middle finger way up in her vagina, she started going "OWWW OW OWW!" She ran off into the shower. Apparently I did not wash my hands very well from the ghost pepper wings. I only got them because I wanted something really hot. I was not trying to hurt her so to make matters worse I didn't get laid last night and she won't talk to me. What do I do?

I ask because I am a man and my wife sometimes wears high heels. I noticed when I am next to her in the mirror, I seem to look a lot shorter than normal. I am 5'11" on a good day, she is about 5'7" It seems like most of her high heels are 4-6 inches so she is as tall or taller than me. I wonder from her point of view, if I look really short when she is wearing high heels. I want to continue to look good to her and not look like a little guy.

This will be my last question for a while as a promise to my wife who thinks this community is tainting my mind, but this question still deserves answers! If my wife truly wanted sex, regularly, to the point of saying we are a "sexual couple", then why would she NOT learn all the tricks women teach in magazines and pop music videos to be considered "sexy"? It honestly seems like she just wants it to want it but she doesn t want it bad enough to do anything about it (or she does what it bad enough but is trying squeeze lemon juice out of an apple). Why do you think she s like this? It really bothers me that we had sex a few times over Christmas Break (we take time off work the same time as the kids) and she stated she wanted it more often but refused to do ANY work to encourage me to do her... Meanwhile, I m actually not that horny, I am not in my prime any more and could live just fine masturbating when I need a "fix" since it takes less effort/work (I sometimes ask her if she ll do a quickie and she ll reject, so for a girl who wants sex she sure doesn t act like it). I don t know, I guess I just don t understand my wife s libido, sexuality, or her in general. I asked questions here for 4 years to try to figure it out and I honestly don t think any of it worked... She acts almost like she intentionally doesn t want to be figured out, so what may have worked 2 days ago won t work today because "she s on to me" and changes herself (or some other reason - who knows)... I can't comment on she loves answer so I'm just going to say it here. A woman who looks like a woman will always get sex. A woman who tries to be in the middle between women and man will have to do something to convince a man to have sex with her, otherwise she's just another one of the guys and there's no attraction. It might just be an American thing though, I know how Canadians like to wear trucker hats and have cigarettes hanging off their lips and wear overalls. Not sexy in my book.

Husband hates my guts and wants a divorce he wants me to be miserable for a mistake l did over a year ago. I just wish he would think about our son and not focus on trying to make me miserable. Any thoughts?

I deeply loved someone who left me without any warning at the altar. We were honestly a very happy couple and very in love. He couldn t tell me why, and now we don t have contact. The rejection still stings. I feel unworthy. The one relationship I ve attempted to have been tainted by fear and lack of trust. I couldn t do enough for him because I was afraid I wasn t good enough. In the end, he cheated and made it worse. My heart still stings so much. It makes me so angry he could leave without a thought and utterly devastate me with no feeling or remorse and presumably just go on with his life. Has anyone dealt with being left at the altar? How did you work through it. I so want to feel good again.

There was a time when "marrying [probably not called that back then]" someone from the wrong tribe was considered completely unacceptable. Things have changed since then Inter-Tribe, Inter-Culture, Inter-Faith[Religion], Inter-Language, Inter-Race, Divorce, Non-Marriage Legally Protected Partnerships, Common Law Marriage [partly same thing as previous], Polygamy, Open Marriage, Childless-Marriage, Same-Sex Marriage, Gender Non-conformist Marriage, Transgender Marriage, Shotgun Marriage, Sexual Fetish Practicing Marriage, Gap In Age Marriage, Wealth Gap Marriage, Disability Marriage. Convicted Criminal Marriage. There are definitely many others and many might actually still be such a "big deal" that they barely happen or get refused. What are some issues that governments, politicians, courts and the public will have in their consciousness and be "dealing with" in the decades to come. 1.) Around the world, 2.) In each continent 3.) In wealthier progressive European Countries 4.) I USA 5.) In different cultures and religious groups. Feel free to speculate if you can give references and sources that is fine if you can't also fine. ...terminal illness marriage um more Celebrity less than 55 hour marriage etc. 6.) For where/what/who etc. ever you are from [I somehow left that one out!?]. Arranged marriages and dowries fall out of favour was another frontier as well as criticism regarding the concept, function and reality of "child marriages" in many cultures around the world [South Asia, Middle East and in Africa all in particular] is also in my opinion a "frontier". Feel free to comment about any of those and what they will be like within the next three decades. My list is perhaps a bit ridiculous in all it's listings; if somethings there do not relate to "Frontiers" ignore them and don't comment specifically on them.

*Culture

I m 17, a university student in Canada. I want to get married and have kids. Although I ve not found the one, I just want to be loved by someone. I m black, but I ve always wanted to marry a white man since I was a kid. I m an student visa student and marrying him might help to pay fees.Sometimes I feel like I m too mature for my age. I ve always dated men in their 20 s.I don t know what s wrong but the urge within me of starting a family is very strong.

Even his 1st of at least 3 wives wrote that she didn't even know that he and Marla Maples were dating while they were married until she saw on an entertainment Trump & Marla Maples at a ski resort together (whom he got pregnant and married for just a little while).

What do you think about a married women having sex outside her marriage

My boyfriend says I stubborn and worrisome... Which Iam because I like to plan ahead even tho it never works out. We are currently staying at grandparents house until we save enough money to move. We been there almost two years and we don't even have have $500 saved.... I'm getting angry because I feel like he's not mature fully and he feels like I should t wait on him not really depend on him. My thin is he wants to get married but I don't think we're ready. I told him I have gf that have kids n still maintain a house with rent being $1,200 so I told him If she can do it so can we.. N he only responds will b is stop being jealous n worry bout u.. How can I do that when I feel like being together 5 yrs n this is the rarest we've gotten? Something is def wrong. I helped him pay his tickets off so he can get his license... It's been a yr now n he has yet to go get his license.. I'm scared of driving but I took my test before n failed. I feel like after being back at my grandparents house we should have well enough money to move now his mom is disabled n now he talking bout her moving into a house with us. I get tired of seeing ppl I kno doing good while I'm sitting here wishing it was me. He feels like I shouldn't wait on him to save money to move. We've been having this same convo for over 3 yrs now I'm tired

So he was abused as a child emotionally and physically by his father and I don't know how to help him. He has nervous shakes, night terrors, and he barely ever has time to work on his job. His boss is a good friend from church and he is trying to work with him but I fear that he will lose his job soon. I was forced to explain to his boss when he fell and hit his head and got a severe concussion. He then had to go to the hospital because he was mixing pain pills with alcohol and its just been a roller coaster. He is 23 and I am 21 we've been married for two years but I just don't know what to do. I love him but he has really pushed me I've already talked to the Bishop at our ward as well as his family about it but I just can't come up with what to say to the man I married for all the pain he has caused me... He just drinks and drinks and I need to know what to tell him so that I can have the man I fell in love with back. So I packed up my bags and told him I was going to my parents for a week to reevaluate things.... As I was walking out the door he started to cry and said don't leave I don't want to be alone....he then said that he'd get help but he doesn't want to go to a rehab facility for his drug and alcoholism. While I held him I couldn't help but think how overwhelmed I am... Should he go to a group or does he need to go to a clinic?

I'm sorry but it makes me mad when my husband's ex asks him are you doing OK? Because its crossing boundaries to me. He doesn't need your emotional support anymore and she acts as if just because they dated 5 years and share a son she can still do a lot. Am I overreacting?

I just turned 27 Mommy to a 10 month old, wife for about 8 months now... I'm just feeling extremely depressed lately. My son is sick right now with c-diff he has been sick a lot his first year of life. I feel like it's my fault because I have to work so much to compensate for my husband's ugly divorce over two years ago and the financial burden that comes along with that. I feel like if I was home more he wouldn't of gotten sick. He was so sick it was scary. i need to finish college I changed majors and am waiting to apply to the nursing program. I missed a lot of work due to my son being so sick and actually I'm not even sure I have a job right now. My husband is a good man, I love him, we are in theory perfect for eachother. However, sometimes I feel like all the burdens fall on me. I feel so stressed about it I can't find the energy to discuss thing with him and fight. I was recently diagnosed with ADD which explains a lot but I don't even have time to take care of myself and keep up with counseling. I finally decided to seek help but it was pointless when they want someone who can't seem to organize their already busy life by going to counseling every week when I feel overwhelmed already. I am just so annoyed and done with this situation. I may still have lingering postpartum depression but it's been coming and going it's not constant. I'm genrally I am a happy fun person but when circumstances hit I bear the weight and it's getting to be to much. What can i do?

I've dated my gf now for a year. This year has been amazing in many ways but still challenging at times. We've argued, we've had disagreements, fights and everything in between. One would think that two people that click could go a year, especially the first year, without major arguments but no. Romantic relationships is probably the hardest thing we face. It's one of those things that only get harder with time. Recently a man at my job said that he and his wife are getting a divorce. I just think if a couple that has been together for 30 years, has 2 houses, 3 cars and 4 kids can't make it what hope is there for the rest of us? I think all relationships have their good sides but there are bads as well. How do people manage to stay together forever?

Me and my husband got into a huge argument last week that ended with us separating. While we were separated, he kept sending his young sons mother pictures of their son. & they were playing happy family through text. He NEVER does that & it wouldn't be so bad if she didn't still love him but she's already told him and others she does. Then it must've opened a door because she texted him, "are you OK? Is everything fine?" Which is something I believe no ex should ask a married man BC its nothing to do with the kid. & it seems there's a conversation trying to be started. Am I overanalyzibg this? I just know he never texts her during visitation.

Housewives/Husbands/children of housewives please do not answer I want an unbiased opinion. A house wife is given an allowance, doesn t have a job, doesn t pay bills are make financial decisions and has to depend on someone to provide for them. What is the difference between a housewife and a child?

I feel anxiety ... My husband and I got married young . We both still live with our parents. We are both still in college . We are looking for an apartment . When we talk about serious things I feel like he doesn't understand me . He tells "I'm the man so I make the decisions" . So no matter if I tell him something we will always go with what he say. He tells me that I lack faith . I'm starting to feel unhappy ... I need help . I don't understand what to do

so my sisters and i found out my dad has been cheating, once again!!!! All my sisters told me not to tell my mom anything but i had to, how would they like it if their husband/boyfriend cheated on them and everyone in the family knew but them? my dad told me that if i told my mom she might divorce him and that was gonna be me and my sisters fault. i dont understand. hes the one doing this. im not doing anything at all. everyones making me feel like im the victim, i hate everything about myself right now. im so scared to know whats gonna happen. what if it is my fault this family tears apart... i dont know what to do at all.....

Good answers-now it's just a 'survey'-only goofy rich idiots would do this, esp. if they spoil her rotten!

Please- what I wrote is 3,000 characters more than yahoo will allow me to submit. If anyone is kind enough to let me reach out and get some advice. I have questions regarding what is the best way for me to file a motion to change the visitation orders I have for my ex-husband. We currently have joint legal custody and I have physical custody, however since she's started school I see her less than 20 hours a week because he never lets me see have her on the weekends. There are so many more details I need to give so that I can get the best advice possible . Please comment with your email- I'll give you the best answer rating! Thanks in advanced

I'm 22 and have 2 kids. My husband and I have sex once every 2 weeks..if that. I just don't want to have sex, but when we do I enjoy it. Is this normal?
