I am a disabled stay at home mom. My husband is an over the road truck driver who often travels out of the country to do loads (gone for a week at a time). When he does return home, he immediately goes to his video game console and plays for 8-12 hours a day if he gets a week off afterwards. He also plays in a few bands and seems to always have gigs to play. Tonight, he had one out of town. He refuses to do any house work or help w/ the kids and said "I work full time, I sure dont see you contributing to the household! You will NOT tell me what I can and can't do!" I am really tired of it and have brought up divorce or separation more times than I can count. He simply will not leave. I cannot live like this. Am I over reacting? This morning his bandmate came over and they left for the gig. He will not return until the wee hours. He tells me that I am selfish to not "honor his wishes and respect the fact that he has a dream to become a pro musician". We have a child with a broken leg who is in a full body cast and I cannot go anywhere. He never watches the kids so that I can run errands, etc.

My ex (hs sweetheart kind of) comes in and out of my life and has done so for almost 2 decades. He is not married and lives w/a mutual friend. I am almost certain he is my "twin flame". But, he appears in my dreams every so often (no other exes do) and he often communicates with me in dreams (sometimes we are avoiding each other or a few weeks ago he appeared and apologized for an argument we had in real life the last time we saw each other and showed up unannounced at my house and said he wanted me back). Sometimes, I feel his energy. I can feel when he is thinking about me or that he misses me but is scared. I feel his fear too. What does this mean? Will it ever go away? My church said everyone gets "soul ties" and tried to rid me of them, but I cant forget him.

My wife had a pretty rough childhood. When she was twelve, she was rescued from the situation she had been in and the police officer who did her case ended up adopting her a year later. He went on to marry my best friend's mom, and that's how we met. My best friend's brother and my sister were actually high school sweethearts and are now married with kids. So, my wife is my wife and my sister-in-law, although she's not biologically related to her stepsiblings. Is this weird?

Partnership is working together taking pain together concerning together so they can enjoy asset together. But why US people think woman who did not work for her husband still can get 50? If she did not work 50 but only 10 percent she should get only 10 percent out of his fortune doesn't she?isn't it fair?

Let's assume for this example that the man works and the wife is a homemaker.

I was sitting on the couch with the man I have been dating for 5 years and have 3 kids with, a wedding scene came up on the TV and I sat up to ask him a question before I could even say a word he put his hand up pointing his finger up and laughed then told me to sit back down and watch the TV. It hurt but all I could do was laugh while tears came down my face.. I do want to get married and have brought it up in the past but I wasn't even trying to bring up marriage at all

Money to his wife so she can span only 10million throughout her life. Because he wants to encourage her to make her own path. Does he love his wife?

i mean back then, women would do whatever her man says so divorce and conflicts were less of an issue back then since the law favors women now, they easily can sue their husbands and lie about getting physically attacked a women can get away with lying to the police that she has been harassed or assaulted by men and the police would favor her

She has ended a few texts messages with a wedding ring emoji. And in the past she has told me that she wants to marry me if she ever gets divorced? Why would she do that?

Wife who married rich man does not provide housework and do only 10 percent of his work and he let her enjoy 50 percent of his fortune and they try not to give their fortune to their children for an excuse of work experience. Why the man does not give his company to children to run it and also give all his fortune? So child can have work experience and enjoy his fortune too? If child fails company running, wife may fail running the company so he must not give chance to his wife running he company and also don't give money to his wife isn't it? Otherwise it sounds like he is discriminating wife and child

When we met 7 years ago we promised we would work on a future together.Get our own place get married and move forward in life.But the one constant obstacle that we keep stumbling over is her continuously assuming the the responsibilities of her grown children.Taking care of them and their kids financially and every other kind of way.Our future has been put on indefinite hold because they refuse to work,to clean.Every dime they get they use for drugs.And every extra dime we get goes on the bills and on them.Not to mention that they re verbally disrespectful on a daily basis.Any and all advice is welcome.I just don t know what to do.I ve hung on so long because i love her so much.Please advise

Ok so my husband and I recently just started watching porn when in the bedroom which is a major headway for me because I have the mentally a husband should only see his wife nakied. No I'm not a prude. I am a freak in the bedroom and try everything imaginable but when it comes to other women I feel it's wrong in a marriage. Anyway I've been trying to get pasted that mentality because I myself appreciate a women's body and believe it to be a beautiful thing so I opened up and have been trying to work porn into our bedroom game every now and then. Not getting insecure about it either afterward but I believe it's more or less because I'm turned on in that moment anyways so it's not really phasig me that he's seeing another women but he brung up recently I still won't let him draw women naked. Naked women as in a photograph of a naked women not her sitting on a couch in front of him. But I feel that's a bit disrespectful. One day me just going through his computer and seeing a naked women that's not me is a bit a punch in the heart to me. So I guess I'm just wondering how many females would be ok with that? Him staring at another women naked for hours on end while he's drawing her? I think it's a double standard because I don't believe he'd like me having random naked men just sitting in my gallery of my laptop. Perferable women in there twenty's or up to answer.

He says he loves his wife of 28 years; he says his wife is beautiful, but he's having an affair with a single woman half his age. He's mid-fifties but has the sexual appetite of a boy who just hit puberty. He's tried leaving his mistress numerous times but never actually does. I think she begs him not to and he gives in. He tells her that he's stealing time from her and she needs to meet a man who can give her things he cannot. He tells his young mistress that he feels so guilty for doing this to his wife, but continues doing it. His mistress is in love with him. He's must have told her that he loves her too, but he's also told her that he feels guilty saying it so he doesn't say it often. He's said to her something along the lines of, "If I didn't share the same feelings as you, do you really think we'd still be together after 2 years?" He also contemplated leaving for the mistress in the first year, though never promised her. Now he tells her that he loves his family and won't leave. Yet he won't leave her, either. He has unprotected sex with her but won't ejaculate inside her. He says she is the only person he's ever been fully honest to. The rest of the world doesn't know about her, so he'll always be hiding something from everyone else he loves. He reaches out to her constantly, every hour when he's at work but very seldom when he's home except to say good morning and night. What the hell to make of a man like this??

It started with him getting mad cause he lost the pack of floss he bought.. then he was knit picking at everything! All of a sudden he says I never listen or agree with what he says and his way his the smartest and best way. He's always right and if I don't listen to him he doesn't wanna be with me. He says he didn't marry someone who wasn't going to listen to him. I honestly didn't disagree with anything.. when I asked what I didn't agree with he said I don't know but you do it all the time. He says "like when you tell a dog to come here and he listens, that's what I want you to do" 🙁 please, I don't need any negative comments or mean ones, I'm just gonna report them. I'm just here wondering if this is how most men are when they get angry or if it's a form of verbal abuse

I hate her but don't want to.

...Or something else entirely? P.S. I know women cheat too. I'm not interested in why women end their affairs. I'm interested specifically in why men end affairs, and more specifically: long-term affairs. Feel free to share your story, or someone else's if you've never had an affair.

We were together 18months, he became manic & depressed & cut me off. Last month he re-appeared talking everyday. We still have chemistry & he's on the mend. Only 2 weeks ago he said we had no future hopes of reconciliation were just friends & today we skyed & talked for 90mins... he said he'll come visit next year he wants me again ?!

Do you want to be one if your husband can afford it or do you want to have a career in any case?

Before the proposal/wedding was going to go away (no more getting head, no more tittyshots, no more handjobs while driving), after they had gotten married, would guys bother with it anymore? Once married, most former GF/fiancé (now the wife of course) will end the offering of fun, free-of-conditions sex to her husband.

He said in future years (not sure when, assuming about 5 years more or less) he is moving to my city/state for his work... Maybe then we will be older and more mature, he will become a Christian by then and we will hit it off.

I do everything he wants to make him happy. Cook for him, bake, go see movies he wants to see, watch TV shows he wants to watch. IT doesn't bother me because I love him and enjoy doing things to make him happy. I will point out the positives in my husband, before the negatives. He is hardworking, will do anything to provide and we are looking to start a family soon. Weve been married only a few months so far. Can be loving and cuddly at times ( when he's in the mood). Very loyal, never cheated and i have faith he would never. However, he is very selfish when it comes to doing things i want to do. I am a star wars fan, and the new movie came out this weekend. I want to go see it and he refuses to go see it with me. He says he hates star wars and can't sit through it. I never ask him to do much that i want , but whenever its something he doesn't want to do I'm shot down. He's like going with another friend or ask you're dad. all my friends are recently married with little kids, its hard for me to make plans with them to see a movie, and most aren't into star wars like me. Also, when we were in italy for our honeymoon , i wanted to do go see the coliseum while we were in Rome and he didn't want to , so we argued over that. I said we have to , were in Rome, and he's like no i hate crowds, finally he gave in, but was cranky the whole time. I just feel he should give in more , as i would for him , and do some things to make me happy.

The guy studying at med school to be a doctor, the guy working 60+ hours a week starting his own innovative tech company, the guy who is on the verge of becoming a professional athlete training 5 hours a day at his sport. They always like to date men who aren't really trying to become anything successful who have infinite free time and don't really have any hobbies or intellectual pursuits except watch tv and play video games, they just have a regular job and regular boring life

We have been married 24 years I am 46 he is 49. Our sex life had become less exciting after all these years. So when a friend of mine mentioned that they were into swinging for the last 5 years and how it revitalized there sex life it sound like just the thing. Did not go for it immediately spoke with her offer a few months about it and decided to bring it up to my husband. He was against it but over another couple months got him to at least agree to attend a party my friend was having. Well one thing led to another at that party and I thought my husband was onboard so while he was chatting with another women and look like they might be heading off to have sex I went off with another gentlemen. Well I had misread he was just being nice and when had not seen him or women he was talking to figure they had retired to a room. But what actually had happened is he had went to bathroom. Once he came back and started looking for me and found me I was in the middle of having sex with two guys and another women. He blew up and left before I could even get dressed to catch him. Since than he has moved into guest room. I told him it was mistake explained my thought process and apologized. Am at wits end do not have clue how to fix this. We still have 2 kids at home 16 and 12 year old. They know something is not right obviously.

I have married friends and some have children. Ive always disliked children and everytime i visit one of my friends or even family members the house shakes w loud kids running, the married couples look stressed or their arguing lol i go home alone and thank the lord that my life is peaceful. Fyi im also Asexual and never plan on getting married
