I am convinced that natural relationships, those which are created due to romantic love, is nothing more than a farce of nature whose life will be over very soon. When many young couples marry, they marry out of love, out of passion and strong sexual attraction. It is mistake to give these instincts more credit than they deserve and it should be noted that a relationship is a very serious commitment. Therefore, I venture to ask, gentlemen, how do I find a suitable woman to marry? I am 22 years old but have no time for trivial dating. I am not looking for my Juliet, I am looking for my Lady Macbeth. A woman of power, brains and cunning. I live in New York City and work in business, naturally I prefer to be with like minded woman. For me Ivanka Trump is a great example of the kind of woman I want to marry, or even our very own Marissa Mayer. You know what I mean. Proffessional women with busy minds and glorious ambitions. How great was Tarquin the Proud when he joined forces with his wife and overthrew her father? Or what about Alexis Tsipras, ruler of Greece, who depended a lot on his ambitious communist wife to gain favor amidst the chaotic Greek crisis? This is what I want, gentlemen, a woman who is hungry for power.

When you were planning to start your family, how financially prepared were you? With all the unexpected things that can happen (illness, job loss, natural disasters,etc) were you prepared for things like this? My fiancée and I have been talking more and more about our plans for family and kids and so far this is the part we're the most concerned. For us it's still at least 5 years away, we both are in the start of our careers and have been able to pay off our student loans and have no debt. We want to buy a house after we get married and apart from this plan no other large purchases. I grew up poor and know that I don't ever want my children to go through that so I want to ask just how prepared should we be?

Can waitresses really afford expensive makeup and healthy food?

My Husband was in a hotel room with a girl younger than his daughter he swears they didn't have sex. They were just friends. A year later I can move on from this. I feel so insecure. I don't feel sexy wanted or loved he thinks I need to let it go and move forward and I try but I never got the full version of the story and I feel like he thinks of her when he is with me I live with a ghost and it's gonna destroy my marriage

I am asking out of curiosity, because a lot of people in the West tend to avoid marriage. Some people claim that "marriage is too expensive", and they also avoid raising children, citing expensive costs and overpopulation as their reasons (even though it will instead help the White race survive).

I'm 26 ( male ) currently married to my beautiful wife of seven years. I'm transfeminine & bisexual, but that has never been an issue between us. I have been able to stay satisfied with my wife for the past several years. Lately though, I've been starting to think & fantasize about sleeping with guys a lot more... I'm lost on what I should do in this particular situation, any advice?

I'm 27 and married and have an 8 month old boy but my mom has always been controling my life since I was growing up. Now that I'm married she wants to tell me how to care for my baby and how to live with my husband. I'm happy in my marriage but my mom wants us to be a certain way like always hugging or cuddling each other and stuff like that. We do it but we also give each other our space she tells me u don't listen to me!! She says I want u to tell ur husband this and that and it gets annoying. Mom wants me to be like her and wants to decide for our baby what can I do? She tells me you and your husband are weird the way we do things. She would always tell me when you grow up and move out you can live how ever you want it will be your life. Well it's not that way any advice?

Just curious what is to early what is to soon?

My husband pays $600 a month in child support. He works day and night 7 days a week to pay this and then pay some of the home bills in our home. I tend to carry many bills in our home alone as a result. I am all for fathers paying child support. I was a single mom for a while and I fully support it. My kids' father does not pay child support and my current husband is not able to support my kids or our household. So I'm still actually a single mom in some ways. My husband also helps his ex when she needs money for kids braces, kids school supplies, kids clothes etc. I would have thought this would come out of the child support check, but he thinks he should be able to help his ex if she needs additional money for the kids and he literally tells me that she's not my competition. What am I missing here? I feel like he's being taken advantage of and it hurts our whole household. Many are commenting that I should go after my ex for child support. That's not the point. I'm not talking about him paying for the personal expenses of the kids in the home. My husband does not pay basic household expenses so I'm paying 80% of expenses in our home that we share together while most of his check goes to his ex.

Spouse A works 38 hrs a week and brings home about 30k a year Spouse B makes a couple less dollars an hour but there is abundant overtime at work. you have 4 kids so it costs alot to maintain the cost of living. Spouse B ends up working 55 hours a week and brings home about 45k due to all the overtime. Spouse B has had many converations with A about how it's too much work for them to do week after week to support the family. They have talked about options like either spouse taking a promotion. Spouse A does not want to have to work any extra hours, take an extra job or go out of their comfort zone so they are fine with working their same old job. Spouse B knows the overtime is killing them week after week they put in long days. Spouse B goes for a promotion that is a few more dollars in pay.. it matches what spouse A makes. But since the hours are 40 hours a week, the take home pay is also about 20k a year. This means the family will have to cut back even more. there isn't much to cut back.. probably just get rid of cable and live off more boxed food spouse B would now make the same as spouse A..30k a year.but this would be less income overall Caroline, I understand your point. That is why spouse B has been breaking their back with 10 hour work days daily and goes in several hours on saturday. spouse A refuses to change anything

I know random question, but I'm going through a divorce and I don't want to sign papers. Can my husband make me sign them?

I have been married to my husband 5 years and have children with him and my husbands dad recently got out of prison and i let him stay in our home when he got out to get on his feet. I also let his sister and her children stay in my home to get on her feet so she didn't lose her kids. They paid me back after I've done so much for them by condoning him to sleep with his step sister and they were all at the same house and let him get drunk with her and he ended up sleeping with her and then we made up eventually gave his dad an ultimatum to leave the step sister alone he said okay and that was a lie they betrayed me and they keep betraying me and my heart is breaking I don't know if I want to be with my husband I'm disgusted there's a lot more to the story can't really fit it all but there was so much betrayal and I want nothing to do with his family and it angers me but yet I love my husband dearly and I have forgiven him haven't received apologies from his family but part of me wants to just say screw this and not deal with this no more

Should i marry a girl in china i got pregnant. I leave in two weeks. She says we can divorce later, just to legitimate the child? please see my comment below with more details we met a few months back. We always knew I wouldn't stay here long term and that we would just enjoy the time together. I was never too serious about it. When I returned to my home country for a few weeks I met another girl. I had wanted to break it off with the Chinese girl before leaving, but it was her birthday and didn't want to upset her. So when I returned I told her how i felt and that we should be friends, since I didn't want to waste her time. She then told me she was pregnant. She show me proof. She wanted to keep it. We agreed that I would visit and keep in touch and that I would provide money. She didn't tell her parents until later. Her Dad was predictably incensed, since he dislikes foreigners. She left home and I even let her stay at mine for a few days. This was terrible, she kept wanting me to stay in bed with her and we argued throughout the nights. She left whilst I was sleeping. Now she says that she requires a marriage certificate for the legitimacy of the child. In China a child cannot receive credible hospital services if the parents are not married. Also the child cannot get a legitimate identification. Apparently. So she is insiting that I marry her. I am very worried about doing this for obvious reasons. I feel torn, between moral obligations but also trust. She has made a few lies to me and her friends, which i can forgive due to the situation. But how can i trust she won't change her mind? She is currently staying in a hotel, but she won't say where. She has two properties in her name and says this can be used as collateral but i think it isn't so simple as that. Now she doesn't even accept my promise to offer financial help and remain in contact. I had promised that perhaps even a visit to my Country or the child's future could be in my Country. But now she only believes my 'help' is in this arrangement. I will add that my home country is the UK.

TMI? Sorry but she literally won't anymore we used to normally sometimes but now nothing, zero zip nada (is that even right?) no I'm not one of those stupid men (or women) who expect sex from her but I still want it it would still be nice to do it once and a while I mean come one already she's not even that old yet and. Now it's stopped cause idk if I can even live with that honestly lol but I definitely can't live without her but still a man has needs well technically wants but still, it's been 11 months 11 freaking months lol that's almost a whole ******* year and nothing at all ? I mean come on I'm dying here lol she's 26 and I'm almost 22 any advice? Thanks guys

I am needing and wanting to leave my ex husband which I know sounds weird but we are divorced and decided to live together for a while for the sake of the kids ... but it just isn't working out we argue consistently and the kids doesn't need it .. can I just up and leave with my 3 kids him and I only have the 2 together .. how can I leave him leagually with my children...?? I still want to give him visitation tho pls help advice needed!

I swear. We fight over every little thing... everything I say, or do, pisses or annoys my husband. For instance, tonight he was raising his voice at me because he couldn t find s charger to use. He said I move them all around. Uhhh okay??? I told him, I needed the charger in our daughters room so I could have the iPad charge for her music. And he continued on arguing with me, raising his voice. Trying to make a point. I got so sick of it I left the bedroom and now I am going to sleep on the couch... Another thing, I lost 40 lbs this past year. I went from 170 to 128 lbs while my husband was away ( army ). And I have developed a love for fitness. He is getting ready to deploy for 9 months in 10 days and I told him about looking into cross fit. He gave me attitude and asked me why I wanted to do that? That he thinks I come up with random ideas of things I just want to do. That pissed me off. Shouldn t a man BE PROUD of a wife who wants to take care of herself physically?! As well as her take care of the household while the husband is away? It s like he expects s me to just not do what I love while he is gone . All he practically is telling me to do is be a mom, and finish school.it doesn t seem like he wants me to have any hobbies but than he gets mad when I get super anxious and start thinking crazy scenarioswhike he is gone. Any advice?

My neighbor was starting to be friends with my husband and I. I did not see him as anything more than a friend to hang out with. He is a disabled veteran he said and did odd jobs for us at times. We could go shopping with him or drinking. He became fixated on some perceived negativity that he claims I had. Nobody else seems to think I am "negative" but he randomly texted me that he was "breaking up with me because of my negativity". I told him I never saw him as a boyfriend, sorry and he got angry. That was a week ago. A few days ago, he randomly texted me a poem about rocks and love. My husband & I laughed, but decided that its best that I not reply to him. 1) Why did he get fixated on me being negative and "that I liked him more than he liked me"? 2) Why did he "break up with me" (when we were not even together, then want to talk again?

I don't have daddy issues or anything but my friend strips and she brings home good money I have a good job but I want more money 💰 Easy money and fast money

I had no clue he had been seeing someone else until he brought her over to our home, sat me down, and told me he was leaving me for her. He even had the audacity to try to take our children with him! We have 2 twin boys age 6 and they didn't understand why he was trying to take them away with another woman they didn't know. I was up all night crying my eyes out trying to comprehend why he would do this to my kids and I. I'm fortunate to have a job that pays me more than enough money to raise them on my own but it'll still be hard. To make matters worse he sent me a text saying that he's filling for full custody. The emotional stress this has put me through is unbearable. I haven't been in to work in 3 days and I don't know what to do or where to begin? What do I do?

Not the first time he lied either and each time makes it harder to trust him. I talked to him and he said it was stress didnt help how I felt any and am at a loss as to how to feel and what to think. Is my marriage in trouble ? What do I do and if we get counseling and it doesnt help scary thought. Could use some input.....thanks

Did you know when you first met your husband/wife that they were the one you were going to marry? I've been with my boyfriend for 3 1/2 months now and I'm not convinced as of yet he's the one I'm going to marry. I'm 29 he's 32 so I kinda feel like we are both running out of time. I'm not in love with him and he's not in love with me as of yet. Is this normal 3 months in? I've been out of the whole dating scene for 2 years while I completed my residency for med school.

My ex husband left me for an other woman.. after so long he begged to come back home and make things right. I stupidly aloud it for our marriage. But after he came home I kept catching him talking to her. He picked up a terrible drinking addiction and put his hands on me drunk one night in front of his friend. His friend confided to me the next day that my husband had been cheating on me and hiding more secrets so with everything going on I left him. One week later he moved this same girl in. After our divorce his friend and I started talking. Now I have him emailing me trying to make me feel like a piece of **** for talking to his friend And throwing in my face how much better of a person this girl is.. I'm trying to ignore it, but it's hard..

My relationships always were short but i dated a guy and fell in love ,we are together 8 months and he wants to marry me!!! If you ever had longer relationships,does sex get boring after 2 or 3 years??? Do men lose their interest in their partner after years??? Another question is that,i'm 27,is it a good age for getting marry??

Hello guys, I am a 22 year old woman with 2 kids. My husband physically and emotionally abusing me. Sometimes, I just cry, I don't know what to do. He punch me beat me, and sometimes, I broke ny leg and I needed to go to the hospital and be there for 3 days. I love him, but I can't take this. I know hes cheating on me, he always to bars and hang out with friends, but he excuses all the time that he is in work, and usually, he go home drunk, I tried before to go away with my kids but he figured out where I was and beat me, and if I do this again or call the police, he threatened me that he will kill me even his family threatend me. I said this to my family and they said they will figure out what to do to get me away from this monster.

Me and my husband have such a great sex life. He satisfies me beyond belief and I love him dearly. I am extremely sexually attracted to him. Married for 5 years and he just keeps getting more handsome. I always try to catch up to him with fitness and I can't say he isn't attracted to me anymore. I think he is refusing sex to get back at me. We've been fighting lately like any other normal couple does and he is always complaint that all I do is "nag" "complain" "b**tch at him" "act like his mom". I just want to get his act together. He claims I annoy him and I always complain but I'm just trying to make him stop certain habits he has that are bad and be a little more productive. Lately he rejects sex with me coldly and now has decided to sleep in the coach downstairs. I feel if we have sex he can ease up a bit. Help!?

My wife and I both agreed once we found out we were having twins, it would be best for her to be a full time mom for at least the first two years. I am fortunate enough to make enough money to support my family and also have hired help without making our budget tight or dipping into savings. I first want to say that my wife is a GREAT mom. I wouldn't want anyone else in the world to raise my kids. That being said, jumping form working in an office full time to working as a full time mom. But my wife is a perfectionist and feels like in addition to keeping our kids safe and happy wile I'm gone for 8-7 at work, she thinks she failing if when I get home the hose isn't spotless and a homage meal ready. But the thing is, even though I would like to have a tidy household and a nice meal at all times, I understand that that is not realistic for someone with infant twins to get done. I'm afraid if I recommend getting a part time nanny to relive her for a couple hours to relax, go have lunch with her sister, go to the gym, whatever... would really make her happy. I also think that if instead of a Nanny we got a housekeeper to come in a couple times a week to reliever her from her cleaning stress, she would actually be able to nap herself while the babies are both asleep instead of using that time to clean. I don't know. I would never want to suggest to her she can't do this by herself, but I also don't want her to feel like getting help makes her a bad mom. thought?

My husband and i are on the verge to divorce. I am his slave not partner, even though he don t see it that way. I work 35+ hours through the week in the afternoon, which i don t get paid from. My husband refuses to give me my work card back, because he thinks he has to have it to pay bills. Even explaining i can pull the money out for him. That i can t buy anything, I can t even surprise him with a gift because i work for free. I also clean the house daily, the normal chores. He don t grocery shop for a whole week, but goes daily. He forgets to feed me, then I m laying they re after work waiting till work the next day to eat. (Luckily i got a cooking job, they let us munch) i get taken to and dropped off at work, because he always needs the car. So if he falls asleep it s a 3 hour walk home. He wont wash me clothes or buy me shoes. So i hand wash my clothes and tell him when my toes stick out my shoes, i actually tore my last one to get a new pair, (swear them shoes never broke in, wore them for 6 months) i have even got trench foot, from him neglecting me. I mean how hard is it, to treat me like a equal? Why can t i have my pay card? Am i over reacting? Am i working to feel this way? I told him i feel like a slave. he says sorry you feel that way, but your not.
