My wife is pregnant she's feeling upset and angry at me right now. I didn't do anything to her. I dont know why she gets this way every night. My ex was pregnant 3 times she never cried. She was younger than her. My current wife also has depression too lots of weird things make her uoset. She said last night she had a nightmare I cheated on her with my ex. That's impossible my ex is dead. What can I do to comfort her ?

My wife and I come from two different backgrounds. I was raised upper middle class, and she was raised lower middle class to poverty (growing up in trailers). Now we have been together for almost 9 years now, and we have pre-teen daughters. She believes that my standards are too high for our children and I should lighten up; ex: I expect rooms clean, to pick up after themselves, chores done everyday, and they have to earn/save for what they want ect. She says I'm being too hard, but I refuse because my parents raised 6 of us and all but one has found happiness and success in their method. Although I'm not saying it will work for our kids, but I want to teach them how to get want they want versus begging for it, and that neat IS better. On the other hand, none of her family even went to college, and they all but one out of 5 still live in poverty. I want my kids to be happy, but how do I get it over to her, that my intentions are for the best of our children?

In other words, to agree to pay my future wife as long as she doesn't get fat?

I'm 17 and I realize that love is a very rare thing. Not only to be sexually attracted to someone and also have empathy for them, and it being mutual. That's something special something like a friendship. But some people marry to a rich person it's tempting to manipulate an older person just for monetary gain but id be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about it. My hearts been broken many times not just in a romantic sense and yes I am male. What approach do I take with my life because I've been the person people cheat on their boyfriends with but I've also been the one whose let down via a rejection. I can't cheat when I'm in true love but in other cases it's tempting just because I want something on a spiritual level, and to someone beyond my age I'm sure it sounds like I'm talking a lot about nothing

i married a man who's older than me (he's 57, i'm 24) to have a good living whereas my friends have to work etc....I now realised that i don't love him and i'm not happy.....but I love my lifestyle and i couldn't imagine having to work or live with a man that I like but who's poor......what to do????????

So I have been with my fiancé for 2.5 years. At the beginning of our relationship we decided to tell each other about our past. He told me that when he was 21 he got married and by the age of 22 he was divorced. (He is 30 now). Well 6 months ago we got engaged. We told each other that if we make a purchase above $1,000, then we would discuss it with the other person. Next, he wanted to buy a 14k gun. He told me and I told him that if he got it them we would not be on good terms. The seller raised the price so he told me that he was not getting it. We found that he is not divorced. I asked him how did this happen and he told me that she sent him fake papers so he thought everything was taken care of. Plus she told him that she was remarried. Now He has been telling me that he does not trust me with money. I have not made a big purchase or anything. I have told him that money is tight for me but I am in a profession where you get paid a lot. One day, he asked me if my dad could do a certified check (he is a banker). I asked him why he needed that. He told me he wanted to get the gun. The gun that we both agreed that he would not get. Finally he tells me that he wanted to ask his dad before he told me that he wanted to get the gun. The next day, I find out that he knew that he was married before we were even together. He even told me that the girl he dated once he told her that he is still married and she is fine with it. What to do? The wedding is in 7 months.

My husband and I have been married for 2 years, we have a house and he has a good paying job and we have a nice apartment and extra money each month. I m in school full time. We also have a 3 year old. I have to wake up at 5 am, get my daughter to the babysitter at 6, then drive 45 minutes to school. However it takes me an hour and a half to drive to school because my car can t drive over 60 mph. It starts getting uncontrollable and drag off the road. It s an old car, worth maybe $800, and I don t feel safe or comfortable in it anymore. There is major problems with it, but we haven t put any money into it because it s not worth it. So he has a work vehicle and a brand new truck (he works out of town so I can t drive it) and I have an $800 car. He keeps saying he s going to buy me another one, but every time we go to do it he has a new excuse as to why he can t buy it. He s acting like he can t spend any money because we don t have it, but he s talking about buying new 4wheelers and a motorcycle. I m pretty mad, to say the least. Am I overreacting?

I have been with my girlfriend for a few years and I never wanted marriage. A large number of our friends are married and she kept insisting that she wants to get married too. Following a lot of pressure, I accepted. However, where I draw the line is the prenup. Now everybody is telling me that I shouldn't ask for a prenup, because that's not how you build a marriage. Am i wrong for asking for it? If she wants marriage, fine, but why is a prenup a big deal? It protects our assets.

I'm 32, but I still feel like I may be too young to get married.

My fiance is from another country and I do realize that there is another family dynamic over there. Which is fine. But there is a limit. We are not made out of money and it's not like we live in luxury over here. I understand that his family needs help. But apparently they did fine until about a year ago when he started sending money. I didn't know that marrying him will mean being the financial provider for his entire family back home. I mean some things are ridiculous. First he has paid his mothers rent for the last 6 months. Then he sends her extra money every month, he buys her presents like a TV and a laptop, every time we visit we bring mini gifts and give the kids money. I mean come on. When I talk to him all he says is: "It's my culture, baby". No it has nothing to do with culture or being the man of the house. It has to do with the fact that people in their country think that just because you are in a western country you have made it and they expect him to provide for them. I'm not saying that we shouldn't give a little if they absolutely need it. But this is just spoiling them. Have any of you been in this situation? How did you realize it?

I have never cared about people's religion, but, long time ago, i thought i will never date a nonCatholic man again (since i once dated a Muslim person who just used me until he found a muslim woman he could marry)... I know not everyone is like that, but most are and openly admit it. Besides, there are habits I take for granted (like Christmas, or even saying "Jesuschrist!" when I'm surprised without worrying about offending anyone). He seems to be looking for something serious and says he's not religious, however, his family is... and even I'm afraid I wont be liked by his family after I never had to worry about things like that -former ex's parents loved me. But, I'm almost certain his parents wouldn't like me, since... well, they didnt even like his sister's boyfriend even though he's Jewish, only because he was Israeli/Russian... I'm gonna have a million reasns to be disliked since I am Hispanic and Catholic... I have known some Catholic/Jewish couples, but it's like previous coworkers (not friends), and since I had a Catholic bf by then, I just never found myself curious enough to ask who compromises in what... Dating a Catholic person was good for me, not only because I dint have to worry about the guy using me -like the Muslim guy did... but also, because all my dreams and my parent's dreams of seeing me walking down the aisle in a Church were not gonna be in question... but I dont want to compromise his family's dreams of him having a Jewish wedding either :(
