My husband wants to separate to help our marriage. It's been almost 3 months now and he is still living with me. He says he doesn't want to divorce but he wants us to have some space. He is distant and he doesnt seem like hes putting in any effort to fix this. I've spent some time in a mental hospital and doctors to fix my problems and they are getting better. He hasnt done anything to help himself. What do I do because this is very confusing. PLEASE help me!!!!!

My dads wife is a controlling thief... no idea what he saw in her but now he says it's to expensive to divorce right now. Anyway she just got arrested for stealing candy... from a gas station last night and they let her out. This is like the 8th time in 3 years she's been arrested and let go. Only one time she got sentenced to 9 days in jail but obviously that didn't teach her anything. She's 38 years old and does this... my dad is retired military and works full time, so it's not like he can't afford to buy candy or anything she wants. She's addicted to stealing. It's not even about what it is. She's not allowed in multiple stores in our county and she isn't allowed visitation rights with her children from her first marriage. I thought there was such thing as 3 strikes your out?? I'm aware that our jail is overpopulated with violent criminals so they let others go but that's not going to teach her anything... she just does it again and again and again... she even steals from the family that let her in but that's a completely different story and so is her need to control my little sister. I moved out when she moved inbut my sister is only 14 and she can't.... what should I do???

My parents have been married for 24 years and i think its so cute how my mom still talks about my dad sometimes like a teenage girl whos in love

My husband told me some years ago that he "doesn't want to make her mad" as why he does not discipline our daughter. That chore was Always left to me, with him sighing and rolling his eyes in the background. Fortunately, she does not need disciplining, but her and I have a toxic relationship. Right now, there is a savage blizzard and as usual she drove to another town to see her boyfriend. (He has always allowed her to go chasing after boys and it is a miracle she is not pregnant.) He doesn't care to say; "um, I think you would be wise to stay home since there's a travel advisory, duh, ,if that's ok with you". Secretly I think she's yearning for her dad to grow a pair. Their relationship is that of brother and sister except she is far more mature. My husband is passive beyond belief and I resent him. I realize he will never change but I choose to live in this way and have become a b---h.

My husband and I have been married for four years. We have two children, and one on the way. I recently needed to purchase an e-book for one of my classes, and was waiting for my student refund check to come in so I could use it for that. It came in, I cashed it and asked my husband if I could give him the money, so I could use his debit card to purchase the book. He agreed. Well, the transaction didn't go through after many attempts. Finally, I asked my mother (which I hate doing) if I could give her the cash instead and use her credit card. She agreed, and sure enough the transaction went through. My husband withdrew my money from his account and held onto it for me. When he got home yesterday, he told me that I should tell my mom that we need the other half for gas money, and that he would reimburse her when he got paid. I told him I would rather not do that, since my mother is barely making it and could use the money. She has helped us out financially SO many times throughout our marriage, and I don't want to ask her for anything else. Well, as it turns out, this morning my husband left and did it anyway! He put gas in the car and bought tacos! I'm fuming, because when it comes to his money, no one better touch it. He could have asked his own mother, who barely helps us at all, not even when it comes to watching the grandkids, but instead wants to put everything on my mom. He doesn't want me to work, because he doesn't think I can go to school and work, well watch me!

For example, if my business gets a bad review, she will suddenly start being really negative, acting defiant and rude and raising her voice. She will start acting despairing and hopeless and- for lack of a better word- she will be a brat. She will show me less respect, less attraction, etc. She will deny there is a correlation but its super obvious. She will say abusive things and have double standards during the few days after getting a bad review. (we have overall great reviews though on yelp, google, and Houzz, in the 4.5's and above on Yelp and 5.0 perfects on Houzz and Google and other sites.) (and I still make almost $100,000 profit a year, after expenses, while I am only 26 years old with no debt and a growing business. It's not like I am not successful. And we are about the same in terms of physical attraction, too.) Another example is on the occasion that I am sick from a cold or flu, she will get very agitated for almost no reason. I have the flu the past couple days (high fever, weakness, extreme chills, nausea, not eating anything, constant stuffed/runny nose etc). Today while I had the flu I let her know that one of our subcontractors (who I am firing because they are not properly doing their job fast enough, which has become a pattern... and they promised me last night they would allow me to bring on a couple other workers that they would pay out of their subcontract, but then they kicked them off this morning.) My wife wouldn't even side with me! Then when I explained to her what our subcontractor (who is a girl) did, she still was like PHYSICALLY UNABLE to acknowledge that the girl sub was doing anything wrong. The girl sub even threatened to purposely try to get us a bad review (like what kind of sick sh*t is that? Its Mickey Mouse! No professional does that! I don't want her working for me anymore EVER!) But my own wife could not even acknowledge the sub was wrong and then my wife even raised her voice and got defensive because I was (continued) because my wife said "I don't know all about what she did so don't ask me" and then I asked my wife why, in spite of all the evidence that I JUST GAVE, why my wife couldn't acknowledge that this girl was not good for the company and frankly needed to go. It shocked me that I apparently have so little loyalty from my wife. And then my wife belittles me and says I should have let her go awhile go, that its not her problem, that I need to find a new sub for the upcoming job (true) etc. In general, whenever there is a problem, big or small, my wife lashes out, and then also my wife will "want space" and she will want to drive off somewhere, NOT TELL ME WHERE SHE IS GOING, and NOT ALLOW ME TO GO WITH HER. And I'm like telling my wife "babe, that is like classic 101 sign of cheating, and if I did that to you (went off somewhere private, didn't tell you where I was going and told you that you're not allowed to come) that you would freak out on me". Which is true! The only reason why I don't freak out more is because (at my wife's request) we have allowed each other to see where the other partner is, on the iPhone maps program, at all times... and also, because at least we have a rule that we follow, which is whenever we call the other one they pick up right away. (although, there have been a few times she has waited like 20 minutes or so, which does sketch me out.) she works as a nanny. I am not sure that she is as loyal to me as I am to her I did cheat on her in the past a few times (but I have not cheated in about half of a year, almost 5 months). I changed for her and since we got married, I have not cheated at all. I have not even had a desire to cheat, and thats the gods honest truth. The thing that helped was seeing her every day, and also, sex addiction was a real addiction that I was able to get over with actual therapy and classes + abstinence. However, the problem is I feel she has not forgiven me or "gotten over" it I am starting to feel like she is your typical "will hold grudges for forever" type of woman, and that I could be loyal for 10+ years and she still would not trust me or forgive me fully.

A friend of mine married young. He had 1 kid with his wife.they divorced. He was not really financially stable. About 10 years later he met a woman, he is handsome.She is below average. Them met on a dating site. Her parents are old and wanted her to marry The wedding date was set. 2 months into wedding prep a new girl started at our work. They hit it off. They suited each other well. She was average height, long hair, killer smile and eyes that can seduce anyone.The two began an affair. He was crazy about her. We could all see.He was still getting married in 4 months. He told her he loves her. they didnt even have sex yet. A month into the affair, He told her he didnt mean it when he said he loved her and only said it to her coz he didn't know what to say.I could see the love he had for her was real. His eyes didnt lie. He got married and they barely spoke. She then found out his wife is pregnant and it broke her but she was strong. At a staff trip He kissed her and they ended up sharing a room and cuddled the night. 2 months later on the staff Christmas holiday he wife accompanied us.He kept on looking for hottie. His wife slept all the time and he was with his hottie. They spent day and night together for 3 days while his wife was 3 doors away. We were on a ship. By the way, she is the girl every guy at work wants. I know he loves her but i cant be sure.He cannot go a day without making an excuse to see her or talk to her. Should I ask him how he feels about her?

My mum says she was crazy and my mum is English so...
