My girlfriend wants to get married (civil marriage). we've only been dating for 2 months. Can someone explain what is Civil Marriage? And why/how it's different from "regular" marriage? Can she get something from me (money) if we "divorce" or how does this benefit her..? Just confused.. thanks..

I do live in Texas and no im not getting married to my 18 year old boyfriend I just wanna know if my parents would have to be involved or we could just do it on our own. I know you can without a parent at 18 but hes 18 and im 17 so i dont know. Please leave negativity out. Thank you :)

I work long hours, on my feet everyday. My wife stays at home, and I provide for whatever she needs, we don't even have kids! All I ask is for a simple foot massage after a long days work and she denies my every time. My feet are clean by the way, I take very good care of my hygiene

Something very bad happened to me 11 years ago. Since then, I have been unable to trust anyone, especially men. I have been single since then. Last Summer, I met this man, and we became close. He was the first person that I trusted. He was absolutely perfect in my eyes, until I discovered that he was married. He failed to disclose this to me for several months. I said that I couldn't be with a married man. He gave me to usual speech of how he and his wife were separated, and were going to divorce just as soon as he secured a job that he really wanted. I loved him so much, and believed him. I stayed with him. He got the job last November, and is still with his wife. He moved back in with her, and said they were trying to work on their marriage, and ended it with me. I am so upset, and feel like the worst person ever. Never in a million years did I see myself as the other woman, and that's what I became.

I want my parents divorced is that weird?

I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 19 (almost 20 years). He wants to get married. I told him the only way I would marry him would be for him to sign a pre-nuptial agreement. He won't sign one, and I won't marry him without one. I was burned very badly by my ex-husband, and I want to ensure that my boyfriend won't do the same thing to me. How can I convinced my boyfriend to sign a pre-nuptial agreement? Julee, my ex-husband took half of my inheritance, and I had to sell my ancestral home because it was a 'marital asset'. When I went on deployment in 1994, he used his power of attorney to open up credit cards, and charge accounts in my name. The judge gave me all of the debt, and my ex-husband didn't have to pay a dime, because he was unemployed. That's why I want my boyfriend to sign a pre-nuptial agreement. I don't want him to be able to get his hands on any of my money, assets or investment.

He still sees his most recent woman. I think he just can't stand the fact that he'll loose half of everything. I'm about to file for divorce. Adultry. How much of his net worth can I expect to get?

There is a guy I like and we talk almost every day. Yesterday he noticed a girl (she's bisexual and I'm a girl too) talk to me and he seemed like he was mad about it. He said something rude to the girl and then he didn't talk to me today. Do you think he was jealous?

The father of my children recently relapsed and left home. I m 6 months pregnant with our second child and this is the second time he has had a relapsed while we were together. The first time I was pregnant with our oldest child. We split for 3 years and it took him going to jail for a long time in order to get clean. My question is, should I reach out to him and try to convince him to come home and get into a program or should I do as I did last time and try to move on with my life? I m worried that by trying to convince him to come home I might be pushing him farther away or wasting my time and emotion. I ve never had this problem so it s hard for me to understand his mindset right now.

My husband and I have decided not to use any protection and I have never been on any type of birth control. We aren't purposely trying to get pregnant nor are we trying to avoid it, if it makes sense. If it happens it happens if not its ok. Anyways he has always been pulling out but recently wasn't able to pull out on time... I still have to take a test but I'm just so anxious to know already if I am pregnant or not. Don't get me wrong we are both financially stable, stable with our career, and we own our own home. I always thought it would be nice to become a mom until recently... I started to freak out not knowing if I am pregnant or not because I started to think what if a child affects our marriage... I know it's wrong to think that way but it's just that me and my husband have a great marriage we get along well and we love each other ... I feel selfish for saying this but what if a child comes and pulls us away from each other? I'm also thinking about my career, I've always been ambitious and absolutely love what I do and well I'm scared that having a kid will change that and I'll become the opposite? Please don't take this the wrong way, I absolutely love kids and I believe they are a blessing! These are just fears/anxiety that I have been dealing with lately. Has anyone else felt this way? Any advice?

I've looked at articles online, none of them truly say some good positions, Dominating language or anything like that....please give me some advice? She's into BDSM and we did do doggy style for a while but she wants it more kinky

A few times a week he'll have to stay later at work and about once a week he'll go out till late at night with his friends. I know that that's ok he can go out and have friends but I just constantly get a running away sense from him and start convincing myself that he's not really at work or friends that's he's with a woman. He's never cheated or anything but I just have these thoughts and it's frustrating.

Weve been together 5 years and have a 3 year old. We get along great but sometimes my fiancee will tell me about a girl he saw today or a movie star that he thinks is hot. It hoes through me like a knife. I basically tell him i dont need to know that but he says hes just an honest person. I told him it makes me feel insecure when he tells me about other women and he said im hot too and its not like he wants them. I dont see my fiancee stopping doing this so how can i be ok with it? He tells me that his friends wives point out hot girls to their husbands. I dont think i could do that. I do see hot guys at times but i dont feel the need to tell my boyfriend. I also get jealous over his exes, which he doesnt even talk to. I just want to stop tormenting myself. Hes never cheated or gave me a reason not to trust him. Please help.

We bought two orandas (such nice fat little things they are) and one tiny comet. The orandas stick together, shuffling around their new tank exploring together, munching on food and rocks and such, but the poor little comet seems so out of place. He doesn't hang around the bigger fish, he sticks to himself and he seems to be kind of upset. They're relaxed, but he's constantly swimming at the glass or hiding. Will he be okay? Does he need a friend to make him feel more at ease? He came out of a pet store tank with dozens upon dozens of fish his size and breed. The little guys are plopped down temporarily in a 75 gal. He just seems so out of his element.

Yahoo can be pretty funny sometimes... While I was typing this question, a question I asked from when all this began popped up in my side bar - here's a link: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120707092137AAWNHhR Question this time: If my wife and I are both scared of accountability, how can we build trust between each other, and get over our fear? When we were children, our parents (both of hers, just my Mom for me) would verbally, physically, emotionally, psychologically, and socially abuse us in order to get what they wanted from us or to force us BACK into submission and make sure we knew we were NOT equals... As adults, we honestly can't function. We are terrified of our bosses and do everything we can to avoid "aggressive" and "domineering" people. I have a "bubble" I call these people but it may not ring true for everyone - authoritarians. These authoritarians don't hold back. As a matter of fact, if you resist them they use stronger force to get what they want. They would go from yelling, to screaming, to pushing, to using a belt or pulling hair... And please don't answer saying "that was nothing, my parents put out cigarettes on my face" because this isn't a competition on who got abused harsher; all forms of abuse is NOT OKAY. But for us abuse survivors, the ones who don't CHOOSE to hurt still but do, how do we get past this? When I met her 16 years ago, I had no idea of her past; I thought it was just me and my psycho mom (she hid it from me).

I want to buy brushes, saddle pads, stirrups, leathers, buckets, and boots. Any idea what else I can get? Someone gave me a halter I will use. I just want to have most of my s#¡t together so I'm not rushing to get everything

This question isn't insinuating that my wife is wrong so please don't jump to conclusions. I realize the problem is within me. I just don't understand why I feel this way. I feel like I need to be validated, supported, or at least granted permission to do anything. This is likely just a prison I constructed for myself and had nothing to do with my wife, but why might I be doing this to myself? This is not a riddle, I seriously don't understand why I feel this way and I was hoping someone could relate and help me understand these feelings. By the way, thank you for your time over the last 4 years. If you think I'm a nutcase, please don't let your children grow up bullied or taught hard lessons through "getting what they deserve". Instead, please support you kids and help them figure out their feelings, their talents, and their identity...

I am so confused. I was supposed to ovulate on 2/21 (not sure if I did) but today I went to the bathroom and my discharge was hanging like a string and had the consistency of snot, but I put my finger in the feel my cervical position, and my finger came out with creamy discharge. What is going on!

How long has it been since 2010? 6 years? Wow... It honestly doesn't feel that long ago to me. 6 years ago, around this time, I lost my job at GameStop as the store manager. I made good money there and I had a lot of gaming friends. No matter what walks of life came in (stoner selling games for cash to snobby rich folk who wouldn't buy used that the stoner turned in) I was able to talk and relate to all of them. How? Games. I was like the drug dealer on the corner in the Hippie days; we all shared the same passions - video game entertainment. Even the people who came in with their kids and hated games, I could relate to them as a parent. When I got fired from that job, gone with it was the way I connected to people. I had a non-compete form so I couldn't even get back into gaming. They screwed me good. They even made me pay back my $6,000 in unemployment benefits because they said it was "intentionally misconduct". I had to turn my back on my identity and take a new path... That's why I came here, to figure out a new path! My wife also lost her identity. She was a proud SAHM reaping the benefits of home time to go to college online (extreme introvert/recluse). But after I lost my job, she had to become a career woman and me a SAHD. Then it changed again and we both were career people. Our identities both were lost, faster than it took to create them in the first place (I was at GS for 7 years, all lost on a Monday morning termination). How does this get fixed? I hate how everyone is trying to argue the details of my question and not help me find confidence in addressing my identity crisis... It's like we are all on a schoolyard and I'm the weak kid.... I can't believe this is happening all over again.......

I have a betta fish living in 70 degree temp. He is doing fine. Why do people keeps saying it has to be like 80 degrees? Will a waterfalll current be too strong?

So for the past 10 days I have been having daily back aches and cramping, like I am about to start my period. The day before this all started I had light spotting (light brown). Some days I wake up with a pretty bad headache, and I'm also just very groggy and tired. I've also had some hemmroids and the other day I had a minor yeast infection (I took antibiotics). My period isn't for another 3 days but I'm just not sure what's going on with my body. I'm super hydrated and eat healthy food. Any ideas?

In my 4 years on here, I feel like the tone is mostly Conservative as it imposes respect and humility versus Liberal in that it gives new definitions in how people relate to one and another. There are very few Moderates on here, most people prefer to choose a heavy lean but no extreme. But maybe you experienced something different? What would you say it is?

We used to work together, and she never wore a ring so I assumed she wasn't married. She would give really sexual body language and get jealous of other female coworkers, and give extra attention and would initiate a lot more eye contact when she was dressed in more revealing clothes. I didn't find out she was married until later. When married women act like that toward someone who isn't their husband, are they trying to have an affair? Just wondering, I've since quit the job and moved, and once I found out she was married I had no interest.
