My husband and I have been married for nearly six years now. We share a 2 year old girl, and I came into the marriage with my two other kids that I have had from a previous marriage. I feel like such a failure at this marriage thing right now. My husband and I argue almost everyday about anything and everything. If its not about the finances, its about how I feel emotionally neglected. ( he isn't a very touchy feely romantic type. BUT HE WAS IN THE BEGNING). I am a stay at home mom, currently going to school so that I can be more of a help finacially. I do my share of the bills and pay the groceries. And he pays his share that we both agreed on. Lately, I have caught myself looking at other men, daydreaming about being out of this marriage. But I catch myself and know that I need to provide a stable life for my kids. Do I sacrifice my happiness to make this work so that my kids get to have a "stable" life? My past marriage did not work out because I got married WAY to young, he ended up cheating. So, I cut my losses, grew up and I thought that this time around I had it right. But now, I am not happy. He knows I am unhappy, and I can tell that he is getting unhappy with me now too. Its to the point in our marriage where its best just not to talk about things and not argue... but that is exactly how my last relationship started to crumble. I HAVE brought up to him time and time again about marriage counseling and he says " yeah". but he wont put any effort into finding anyone to talk to. He thinks its a waste of time and money to go and talk to someone about our problems that we can fix on our own. But obviously they arent getting fixed. I am tired of having to ask him to get me flowers, and I am tired of having to plan our anniversaries out. He doesnt do anything romantic anymore. I am depressed, and I have let the house get away from me. This makes him very irritated. He says that I "have nothing to complain about because I have such a great life". Well, if that was the case, I wouldnt argue with him everyday, i wouldnt be tempted to leave everyday... or post here grasping for answers. I feel like I am about to snap.

I've been with my SO for 3 years now and we have a one year old together. After I had our child I change. I went into a major depression and am on medication for it. I resent my SO because he's lazy and is very selfish with money. I am going to nursing school and he always finds an excuse to not pay for daycare but he can buy a new jeep and dog, etc. I'm just tired. I'm tired of feeling this way. I don't even want to have sex because I don't feel anything. I feel like there's something wrong with me. I just don't know what to do, and it's not that I want to go off with someone else I just can't deal with a person who doesn't help me out with his own child and is selfish with money. He's a good guy don't get me wrong just I don't know what to do.

My wife is obsessed with my penis. Seriously she's been obsessed since we started dating. She's always touching me and rubbing me there whenever we have sex she always pulls on it sometimes hard. Then she starts wiggling it. She's wanting sex every night. Wtf is wrong with her ? Is this normal and how can I help her ?

Even though they know they are.

My wife has been feeling sad the last few days. She's 5 months pregnant with our daughter. How can I help her feel better ?

I'm 19 and my husband is 24. We only got married about 6 months ago and I was so in love. Now we are married and live together and I'm not sexually attracted to him so I don't really want to have sex but he wants sex everyday. Also it seems like even if I have had the best day, when I come home to him everything he does just makes me so mad and it ruins my day. The main reason we got married was so he could get citizenship and now he's basically got it. I have been thinking about it allot recently but I need others opinions so should I get a divorce or should I tough it out? I am likely super young still and I could find someone else but it would break his heart if I wanted a divorce. What do I do?

I am long divorced, but have had boyfriends since the divorce. I am only in my 30's and I've gone back to my maiden name, so Ms. sounds old and frumpy, but Miss sounds like wishful thinking. My mother always told me that Miss = never married, Mrs = married, and Ms = divorced or widowed. Other people have disagreed with this. I just want to know what to put on legal forms. I know it doesn't matter a whole lot, but I'd like to state it correctly. Thanks!

We have been married for over 23 years and have 2 adult children. He is 46 and I am 48 we both work full time. Our sex life has slowly dropped off over the years to the point we have sex maybe once a week or once every 2 weeks. While his libido has dropped off mine has ramped up. This ramping up seemed to start about 5 years ago when had my hysterectomy. Had it done because of sever fibro problem that caused immense pain each month. Since then no more pain and a increase in libido. My husband on the other hand has had a decrease in his libido but not related to that time frame just has decrease over the past few years. Even when have dressed sexy and tried to initiate sex more often many times he says is too tired or when have pushed forward has stopped part way because of loss of erection. Thought maybe he has a ED issue but he has seen doctor and when we do have sex its almost like when we were both first married/younger actually has even more staying power and energy then when we were younger. So the one time a week is more intense and longer but want it more often. Looking for suggestions on helping him or helping us have sex 3 or 4 times a week even not even more. I understand partially why he is more tired about 2 years ago he had lost his job when economy started to go down hill was out of work for about 6 months. He now works at a job that had done when was younger before went back to college. Its more physically demanding then his engineering job that lost but it actually pays better if can believe that. Think because of his skill and knowledge they pay him more but its more physically demanding meaning he comes home tired more often. Some days he does not but many times he is just worn out at end of those days. Especially when some days are 10-12 hours while others are only 6-8. Might say just try on the 6-8 hour days which is the times have tried to sneak in a extra.

Hi. I'm doing a paper for college on getting married young and surviving statistics of divorce. Sooo, I was wondering if you guys could tell me some successful "I got married at 20 and I'm still married _ years later" stories. (it doesn't have to be at 20, I just used that age as an example) Tell me how you survived after the honeymoon phase, did you live with parents at first or on your own? Advantages of getting married young? disadvanages? General opinions? how did you keep your marriage going strong instead of headed for divorce like most young married couples?

I know it's not a big deal but I'm not sure whether to call my teacher Ms or Mrs. Everyone in my class calls her Ms (followed by surname) and I have been for a while. I know that means she is not married. The thing is, that I found out she is a widow :( and her husband passed away a few years ago. The other teachers call her Mrs and whenever she sends us homework via email, she signs her name with Mrs. What do I call her? Will she mind?

Why is it that these days people are purposely having kids before getting married? Heck some before they are even engaged. I would love it if somebody who has done it could tell me why they did it. And I don't mean unplanned I mean planned pregnancies.

Someone you'd introduce to your family, be as destructive as possible. I'm 17, I got caught up in some malice but I'm evolving as a person for the better because God is the greatest, God bless you

Should I go beat him up ? He fingers my wife 3 times a month..my wife says I am overreacting. ..

I'm not saying anything above 6". But generally it works better if it's a chunky, thick peace of meat. (or maybe my wife is just like c--k, idk)

Besides baby or honey or guinea pig ( my friend came up with that one ). What are some other nick names for him ? No rude or mean ones

I'm single and was very horny I made a Craigslist ad looking for a one time one night stand. A guy that I didn't know was married at the time hmu. He came over to my house he ate me out and we had sex protected. He told me he wanted to keep doing it so I said cool. I had him all weekend even up until Monday. Now he told me Mon that he wanted to have an affair and was adamant about it. He has 2 kids both 3 years old now this man has eaten me out and has to go back to his wife and kids and kiss them. He gave me money he told me he could take care of me. I'm not stupid I know he isn't leaving his wife I know that. But why why is he doing this.

About a month ago I was giving our 9 month old baby a bath, my wife was standing in the door ways saying how cute it was, then she started crying. She acted weird the rest of the day then finally several hours later she admitted that she was sleeping with her ex during our first year of marriage. We have been married 8 years. She said he put some pressure on her to leave me and she considered it. Then she realized that she couldn't live without me. She cut it off and never responded or contacted him again. She said that the guilt of what she did has grown stronger year after year, but it was her seeing how great of a father I was to our 9 mo old that really pushed her over the edge. She says she has tried to figure out how to tell me for months. I just don't know how to react, it feels like it happened Friday. I try to convince myself that she's been a great wife for 7 years. Parts of me wishes she had dealt with her own guilt without telling me. I left home and have had very limited contact with her. I just don't think I can continue in the marriage. I don't know what to do. Why did she have to tell me? I was happy last month now it feels like my whole life is falling apart. What do I do next? I have no answers. Seeing her, hearing her voice makes me sick to my stomach. The thought of her kissing me after doing stuff with him. I just don't know if I can get past it. She is begging me to come home and saying she is sorry. I don't know.

He loves fishing,camping,bonfires..regular country guy!

So for some reason people that I know think that they can tell if a woman is marriage material or not based on how tall her high heels are. They think that any woman who wears high heels that are 6 inches and higher are whores and while a woman who wears heels 5 inches and lower are classy and elegant. I wear 6 and 7 inch pumps and the reason for that is because I am short and I benefit from the tall heels. I believe the higher the heel the better. People think that I am a whore and a gold digger because of how tall my heels are. Why do they think that ??

In my opinion: The reason women will reject a guy publicly but then accept his proposal later at home in private, is that sometimes she DOES want to get married to the guy- BUT she's just embarrassed to be seen with him in public. Often, women will marry men for their money, and will definitely WANT to marry him... and they'll lead the guy on to believe she's proud of him, respects him, and finds him attractive and sexy and cool... (BUT IN REALITY SHE SECRETLY FINDS HIM UNATTRACTIVE, AND SHE SECRETLY ONLY WANTS HIS FAT PAYCHECK)... SO, then when that guy proposes in fronts of thousands of strangers, she's so shallow, selfish and embarrassed by the less-attractive man she's been dating, that she says "no" to him in front of everyone. Often these women will go home after embarrassing and humiliating her man, and go "actually, babe, I do wanna get married! Idk why I said no! Sorry honey! It was just a shock in the moment!" That's just her EXCUSE. She will play dumb and play innocent and pretend like she doesn't know why she did what she did (rejecting him publicly), but in reality, women are crafty and smart. She knows good and well why she did what she did. In reality, she rejected him in that moment because instinctually, she was not attracted to him and she was embarrassed by being seen with him, so she "distanced herself from him socially" when a bunch of eyes were on her. Thoughts?

Is it true that every woman wishes their boyfriend or husband was dead? And that they'd be happier without them,

My ex husband has always paid alimony in the form of direct deposit. He informed me last week he would be paying in cash years checks from here on out. Is this safe or is he trying to swindle me some how? Thank you.

So I was with this man for 3 years and found a new man cause I just didnt feel emotional connection and affection from my ex anymore so I decided to break up with him. I told him honestly that I didnt want to be with him anymore and that I found another man and that I nicely want to break up with him instead of cheating. Its better to break up than cheat right? How would you feel in a situation like this? Would you appreciate the honesty or feel devastated and angry? Ey cheer up, at least you dont get cheated on so it aint so bad right? ;)

Had drinks with a supplier whom I have liked and fancied for ages Alcohol did it's work and I ended up in his hotel room . We kissed and cuddled giggled and groped a bit He put a finger in me past my panties and took his penis out of his pants, I just held, not rubbed it and guilt swept over me and I left feeling ashamed I didn't get undressed and he didn't come so it cannot be cheating, I have a lovely husband should I tell him we just kissed and groped? It wasn't cheating after all

I went through a two year break up once and it wasn't good at all. It felt terrible. But I can't even begin to imagine losing money and items and your wife or husband all together.

My husband and I have been together for 4 years. My sexdrive is almost non existent for a while now and I know it is extremely frustrating for him as sex is infrequent and I d rather do other things, like oral, for him. He s 30, I m 25, and we have a 5 month old which makes intimacy more difficult. He s never strayed and doesn t talk to any women outside of his family. I want him to be happy and I feel like I can t provide everything he needs. I ve mentioned to him going out (without me, someone has to stay home with the baby) and hanging out with women but didn t get any response from him. Sometimes I think it may even be a turn on for me knowing other women find him desirable and help my libido. I don t think/haven t thought if I d be okay with him having sex outside the marriage but him flirting/dancing/kissing others as long as he tells me. Or maybe just him flirting through social media (he s sort of shy/introvert but didn t seem like it when he was single). Is that crazy? What sort of "rules" would you put in place?

I am happily married, but I've let myself go like crazy since having my second child and my husband says he loves the way I look, but that doesn't help me at all. I used to find motivation to keep my weight down from the wandering eyes of men when I was single. Now that I'm married, I've gotten TOO comfy. I'm a stay-at-home mom who is about to turn 30 in a few days and I look and feel horrible, but can't get it together.

This would be assuming that both people in the relationship would be working the same amount of hours/equally demanding job. I was talking to my family the other day, and this issue came up. I said I expected my husband to share the housework, and my dad said that was a pretty high standard. For as long as I can remember, my mom has been cleaning the house, cooking and everything will being the primary money maker. Although she works less hours, I always thought it was weird how he did virtually none of the housework. I can't imagine doing that. I never had any male siblings, so I don't know how people raise their sons these days. Is this too high of a standard? Haha...I find it only slightly amusing that almost all of the people saying it *is* unreasonable or naive are men. Regardless, I thank all of you for the in depth answers (:

Serious men please, I'm married to a stoic men & it has been very hard for me to figure him out, hes quiet, doesn't show emotion, I ask him how was work, his reply is always "good" doesn't make much conversation with me or anyone. His mom came to visit after not seeing him for over 8 yrs (she lives over seas) and the same he didn't make much convo around her. But we cuddle all the time, except when it comes to sex he's happy with twice a month. Thats where I have a hard time, I feel self conscious, in past relationship sex was never the problem. I do understand not all relationshipsare the same, and I want to understand him. He tells me thats just how he is, and he tries to be more open but he can't bc he doesn't know how. My question is HOW CAN I UNDERSTAND MY HUSBAND MORE, IF YOUR A STOIC MAN WHAT WOULD BE YOUR BEST ADVICE

I've been seeing a man for several years now and his wife knows and I have met his wife. His wife also has a side friend like I am to this man. However, there are no rules laid out for these relationships. I understand that there needs to be rules. I am not looking for judgment so keep that to yourself. I know that some married couples allow their spouses to see other people and I know rules are involved, I just don't know where to look.

I don't even know where to start. I always thought our relationship was good. Up until recently. We're both female and have an adopted son. We've never had trust issues, I've always been faithful but now I'm wondering if she has been. I'm always complimenting her and reassuring her I love her. She used to, now she says she loves me and cares about me but doesn't want to have regrets. She has always wanted kids but we've only been able to adopt. I didn't want more but I told her I would for her. Then she tells me she wants to be with a man. She's never been gay, maybe bisexual but she never expressed the need for being with a man before. but she just wanted to separate for now and think. So we are separated and with in a week she had a plenty of fish profile and it just broke me. I couldn't believe that she was ready to move on to someone else that fast. I have asked her to stay, continued to tell her I love her and I feel stupid and pathetic. I believe she might still love me. We slept together during our separation and we still hang out for the sake of our son but I don't know what to do. She's all I want but I can't change being a woman and now I'm second guessing her faithfulness through the years. What should I do?

we stayed togeater for my son but I want a little revenge but all affair sitescost money or blow *** I can't figure how start an affair with someone new please help

Especially if she paid money to file for both? She found out he was trying to have sex with her four days before it was dismissed because he knew the mistress would check Clerk of Courts.

don't say "ask his wife" or "if his wife doesn't mind" or whatever. is it textbook wrong?

She says no sex (anal, vaginal or oral) He had been coming onto my wife for awhile and i guess she got weak and caved. She came to me crying and so upset it happened. When she told me about it i immediately assumed sex so i was furious, but when she told me what happened...i was kind of relieved. I know its cheating but is it worthy of divorce?

Our grandson has just been born and we are so in love and close but I have been sharing our bed with the memory of a secret lover I had a one night fling with years ago It's just not fair that this great guy doesn't know what a stranger knows about me I want to tell him so bad and be forgiven, but how do you do it?

Been married for seven years, started out ok but he has turned into a slob, put weight on looks rough all the time drinks and has body odour. Tried nagging persuading talking, no good. I have a healthy sex drive but haven't had a vaginal orgasm with him for two years I am going outside to get my big itch scratched Haven't dated for 12 years and I see internet dating is all the go What's the best site to meet non commital men for one night stands? I am horny

don't say "ask his wife" or "if his wife doesn't mind" or whatever. is it textbook wrong?

I have been married for 22 years. About 15 of that has been meh to say the least. I have basically given my soul to my wife only to recieve hardly anything in return. She has been unsure about us numerous times. She has even had an online affair twice with an old boyfriend. I forgave and forgot for both and last august I found out she tried to contact him again. I have looked the other way. She has told me she hates sex and could care less if she ever has it. Yet i do all the husband things for her. Recently i find myself getting bitter and unafraid to tell her no and like it is. Unafraid to give her back the attitude I get. Due to her beating me up over the years and total lack of any intimacy and closeness that i need i have gotten close with a coworker. She is everything that my wife isnt. Maybe i am just excited over the fact that there is someone out there that can give me what i need. Someone that i dont have to beg and buy intimacy. Someone who isnt afraid to show their feelings. Someone who i feel like i can trust. So confused. I love my wife tremendously but the feeling of disatisfaction and emptiness is wearing on my. I am 42 and still have a lifetime ahead of me. I am scared to death about being 62 and having these same feelings. At that point its to late to start over.

how can I be happy in my marriage when I feel sufficated and bored, there is not excitment, Im currently talking to another guy but its so hard to talk to him or hang out when my husband always going thew my phone n gives me no privacy

Husband and I have lived in our home for 5 years with two kids. We need to move to new neighborhood that s kid friendly. We are fed up. My parents one our house and refuse to let us have it even though we can afford it and we pay and take care of everything. Trying to convince them to sell it and let us use the money to get a new house or find a house to pay rent. We feel stuck and hate to pay rent when we can buy a house but parents won t let up and ser it as their house even though they bought it for us.

He cried his heart out last night after I found a pair of (still wet!) panties in his car trunk He has had an affair with a colleague and he said the panties are a trophy! I am so mad it's indescribable and have decided to find a stranger to fvck and even the score I think it will be guiltless because it balances out. Fvck him anyway, I'll show him wet panties after the guy fills me up

Trying to conceive is taking its toll. I have been told that I have low sperm motility and placed on a special diet. I have to exercise every couple of days including swimming. I just started. Tonight I never had time to exercise because I was busy with a nursing workshop and had to make a number of calls this evening. I called my wife to let her know I finished my evening and was on the way home. I mentioned my grades and the good news about the car being approved for the insurance claims and she just said that she doesn't care about any of my things and the only thing that can make her f*** happy is to have a baby. Hung up on me. For the 5 years of our marriage she has continued to take separate holidays to me and has never supported my studies. So many times she would swear at me and say my studies don't matter and she only cares about having a child. But my nursing studies can improve my career outcomes and push my life forward. I'm not giving up my studies. I reason that they improve my future and her being with me isn't guaranteed so I need to make sure I can support a child or at least support myself if we end up breaking up. It still hurts to know that my wife only cares about having a child with me. Not really caring about anything else I do. She has threatened to have serious talks with me if I can't get her pregnant soon. She misses the whole point about being positive and supportive of each other to help in trying to conceive... I'd also like to add that she has spoken before about us doing ivf and how she won't divorce me. But she still throws around empty threats and says she doesn't care about my achievements just because she is havi g a bad day. She will then ignore my calls and texts to make me feel like I really don't matter at all to her. I have a feeling she is emotionally abusing me to suit herself.

First let me say I realize this wasn't the best way to deal with the issues but I'm only human. My wife and I have been married 6 years and together 10, we are childless and in our mid 30's. This was a decision that she made on her own and never took my feelings into consideration. Its all about her career. Five years ago I was really sick I woke up and could breathe, I asked her to take me to the emergency room. She said direct quote "if I do that, I'll be late for work. I have a big project due this week. Your a big boy, you can take care of yourself" so I did. I was there 10 hours while they ran tests and such. During this time she never checked on me, it wasn't until 30 mins or so before they released me that she showed up. There was nothing major wrong I had a throat infection that spread down causing me to have trouble with breathing. After that I kinda viewed her differently, as someone I couldn't rely on. Again two years ago she let me down. My father passed away and she wasn't there for me emotionally, she actually went on a business trip. Her excuse was she isn't comfortable with death, really? Who is? At that point I because emotionally distant. Over the next 18 months or so we did talk all that much. Just everyday chatter about what the plans were who was going to pick up this or do that. Sex was maybe once every three months. 5 months ago an old college friend emailed, I hadn't heard from her in many years. Said she was coming my way and wondered if me and the wife wanted to have lunch and catch up. Now in college we all ran in the same circle but they didn't really care for one another. I never told my wife and went alone. Long story short we hit it off. Over the next few months we communicated a lot and in march I took a trip to see her and we slept together. We have slept together about 5 or 6 times since. I don't feel bad, I'm guessing its because I have nothing let to give my wife, I don't think I've been in love with her for years. I'm not blaming me cheating on her, on her. I do think that this feeling of not having a wife I could count on played a major role in creating the distants that lead to the affair. But I made the choice to cross the line. Is my lack of guilt a sign that there is nothing to save? I admitted the affair a few weeks ago and she wants to work on things, she claims she will be there more for me. Is it too late? I don't think I have the desire or energy to work this out.

I still have not decided if my husband is doing this on purpose or not. I am pretty sure that sometimes he is. We will agree to either meet somewhere or at home because we have plan's. For example, lets say 1pm. Well, 1pm will come and go and I will be waiting for hours! and he doesn't even bother to call and tell me he is going to be late. What makes it worse is that I never have a way to get in touch with him. Sometimes he doesn't even come home or call me until the next day!! I have gotten mad at him and talked to him until I am blue in the face. I dont mind if he needs time on his own but he should at least call me and let me know he is ok. He is always able to get in touch with me, always knows where I am? How do I teach him to stop doing this? Its driving me crazy!

My ex got married few months ago but still she is raising my daughters well. But few days ago she went out with her husband and my 2 daughters on his motorcycle, she knows that I don't allow them to go into a motorcycle at such age, they are still 4 and 6. Worse than this, when I talked with the older daughter she told me they went by taxi. By coincidence I was talked with the smaller daughter and she said the truth that they went by motorcycle. Then after talking calmly with the older one she confessed the truth. I told my ex that what she did is not allowed and this is the last time she does this, she replied that she will not take them out anymore which is not really relevant to the topic, she can take them wherever she wants by taxi, with friends, rental car, bus, etc. but not on motorcycle. In addition she taught my daughter to lie and to hide the truth from me which alone is worse than what happened. I am really sad how my ex taught my daughter to lie to me. Who knows in the future she might convince them that I am a bad father for some reason she makes up. I still respect my ex and communicate with her but I just can't trust her anymore especially that she cheated on me and now is teaching her daughter to lie.

Over the years I have been lucky enough to have had some beautiful married women on the side. Some have actually denied to me that we ever did it, why do they do that ?is it denial and rationalization on there part? I am proud of the fact I had them under therir husbands noses, why aren't they?

I have had several trust breaking incidents with my husband far as women issues. Long story short my husband lost both of his parents in the same week and in that week and before he was texting another female that had been an issue before about six months ago and it's like I didn't want to confront the situation cause his parents had just passed and thought it would be selfish but the more I held it in the more angry I had become because with me during supposed to be grieving process he was having a great time via text with another lady so then I was like he wasn't thinking about my feelings and the things he was doing so I confronted him on his actions with facts even finding out more then I was aware of and so the tables turns on me as that I'm selfish However, we have a child together and he deploys in two weeks and we aren't talking and now I'm concerned because it's like he stated he was going to write a suicide note but is on the outside he appear to be ok so idk how to feel at this moment I'm trying to reach out but he so mad for being caught that he still pushing me away again as if I did wrong so now I'm depressed and just don't know what to do..was I wrong for what I did?

My hubby was divorced almost 10 yrs before I came into his life. His ex left him for another man, after cheating on him several times. Things were great in the beginning the kids seemed to really like me but 3 months in all hell broke loose. The ex started calling my hubby and saying I said this out of line, or I did this out of line or wrote this or that on myspace. My hubby did not stand up for me. This woman would not stop. I started standing up for myself and her and i went back and forth via email for close to a year, off and on. When my hubby and I got engaged she started again, he did nothing but tell us both that he wanted everybody to get along and that we both needed to stop. They have 3 kids and by this time the 2 youngest have grown to hate me. They were 12 and 15 yrs old at the time. I defriended all of them and made my profile private. This didn't stop the ex from always complaining to my hubby about me. Almost 6 yrs later and she is still going at it but now she has the 2 youngest kids telling my hubby that I am writing about them on Facebook or Twitter. I told my hubby and others have too that when I talk about them I write it is about them. Some of the things they claim are about them is not. however my hubby totally believes them over me. I have showed my hubby where they wrote how they hated their step mom, which their dad wasn't married to me and how they liked his ex GF so much better than me. Plus calling my daughter very nasty names. My hubby did nothing about it but make his same comment that he wanted it all to stop. Last week the youngest somehow got into my computer and obtained a private message between me and a friend. It was about him ( how he needed to take a bath, get a job and grow up) and how my hubby and I were having trouble in the bedroom. I was venting to a friend. All hell broke loose. The ex wife wanted to press charges on me and my hubby wanted to divorce me because I was talking about his baby. I apologized to the boy but it wasnt good enough, he wanted the apology in person not via email. I feel like from day one I have been under a microscope from these kids. No matter what i do or say it is wrong and carried back to their mother. I have given up every single weekend so my hubby can spend the weekends with his kids at my house. They dont respect me, they dont respect my home and dont do one thing while they are here. I am at the point where I literally dread the weekends. No one talks to me while they are here and the world revolves around them. My hubby and I have no alone or couple time and I really dont know how much more I can take. In my eyes it seems he is still very attached to his ex wife and doesn't want to upset her or the kids in anyways. I've even asked him if he still loves hers which he denies. he claims he hates her. He sure doesn't act like it. I dont want to leave my own home when they are all here every weekend. What else can be done?

We've been married 17 years and to be honest it hasn't been great the past few years. Is him doing this a sign our marriage is over? I would never send a text like this to another man. Just wanted someone neutrals point of view. Many thanks.
