I'm a spoken word artist part-time. I go to shows maybe once every other month, if that. It use to be more. Sometimes i get paid. More importantly I'm A mother of two girls full-time of course; a substitute teacher, as well as, a site supervisor for an after school program. My fiancé broke up with me a few months before the new year; claiming he doesn't want me to go to shows because I will run off with some one. Of course I never did not did I intend to. I had a show i promised to do that next day. I cancelled the show and cried my eyes out. The next day he called the host to see if i could still do the show, changed his mind about breaking up with me, and said he was being selfish and he would try to support me. Months later, it's a new year, I've been to all but a couple shows after he said he would try to support me. Then, on valentine's day of 2018, he breaks up me with the same reasoning. saying I won't listen to him about going to shows, and he has no say so in my life, and I chose poetry over him. Meanwhile, all along before I've gone to any poetry event which was only two,not once has he expressed his discomfort. We have two girls together and we have been together for 13 years. How do you break up with someone because you don't want them to follow their passion? Why would he say he would try to not be selfish, and support my art, then turn around and dump me? Not once did he indicate he was feeling uncomfortable during the times I consulted with him about any event.

My husband and i are in a heated argument about me being agervated and he just twisted my words around so i stoped replying. Now he just texted me and told me he loves me, is that even normal?

I have been married for almost 8 years. Whenever my husband gets mad at me he gives me the almost silent treatment. Meaning he only only talks to me if necessary and with as few words as possible, I beg him to tell me what s wrong, sometimes very loudly because I m so mad he s giving me the silent treatment, and he responds with, "who says I m mad, did I tell you I was mad" but it s very obvious he is mad. And then when he is done being mad several days later, usually only because he wants sex, he will pretend like absolutely nothing ever happened, and while im asleep i wake up to him touching my private parts, No explanation. No telling me why he was mad. It has been like this the entire relationship, even before we was married. As a result most of the time we have sex now i hate. What can I do to make him talk to me when he is mad.

From my point of view I think I am slow. The following is a post from someone else which pretty much could have been me: "I don't really try very hard in [college]. I just find that I don't react to things properly or quickly. A few examples: One time at church I was sitting in the back of the room minding my own business when a kid with the offering asked me what to do with it (I'm 18 he was like 6). I just kind of shrugged since I didn't know what to do with it. My pastor then calls me out saying to take the offering and give it to someone who knew what to do with it. another time was when some friends and I were kicking around a workout ball in a room and when I walked in the ball was passed to me, instead of doing the smart thing (kicking it back to my friend), I launched the ball into the ceiling knocking out one of the tiles. Also when I speak I always stutter or trip over my own words and just sound retarded from my point of view. I'm very quiet and rarely talk."

My husband bought bondage, a booty plug, lingerie and other various stuff from the sex shop. It was a bit random to me since we havent talked aboit trying new things out. He has seemed a little different in the bedroom, does this indicate he is possibly cheating?

I've wanted an honest opinion out of this. In a marriage if the wife works and the husband works does it emasculate the man? I've heard people say before if your wife works "it's not a marriage you are roommates". My cousins husband does all the work in their household even though he is stressed all the time I admire him for being a strong man and taking one for the team. Yes I'd rather be stressed and angry than emasculated as well as strange as that may sound. What are your opinions?

He was fired from his nice paying job. It seems like everytime he gets a really good job it's to hard for him. He is NOT dumb just lazy. You'd think my husband was the Prince of whales. He cannot comprehend how he is but he's just lazy. I'm so frustrated and feel like it's always something with him. He has had an emotional affair, gambling addiction, been fired frkm.jobs before... He had 2 children from a previous marriage. I'm sick of it he says he has anxiety or depression. I can't take anymore. After he was laid off he didn't tell me high blood pressure was super high and he either abused his anxiety med or has an atypical seizure... wrecked into a stop sign and kept driving all the way home dragging the sign. Our son was in the car and I was screaming at him - he doesn't remember it. This is how i feel all the time he is driving crashing into things and he's acting like he can't hear me because he doesn't care. He is weighting me and his son down from so much and I am starting to feel like he's ungrestful he doesnt deserve me. If i express my feelings he says im attacking him. I feel like he's just bringing me and his son down and does not even care. I'm tired of excuses. He wants me to make his resume again and be his little.secretary. I don't even know if he's applied to any jobs yet. I hate him for the emotional.affair a long time ago too. I love him but he disgust me too. The worst part is in his mind I treat him bad... I just react to his behavior. Any advice?

The agreement was she move in till she got her cataract surgery and had her heart checked out. Surgeries completed and her heart is fine, but now it my shoulder hurts or I feel sick etc.. This has been going on almost 2 yrs now! We live in a 1 bedroom apt and she sleeps on the couch. She wanted too! Now my living room is a mess with all her junk, if anyone comes by she just complains about her health, now nobody comes by for more than 5 mins. Someone calls she talks to them before she tells us the call is for us, friends rarely call now. I don't want to her her feelings but she has to go! Husband agrees but he is having a hard time telling her cause it is his mom.

We live with my father inlaw upstairs and my sister inlaw lives downstairs. But my husband spends most of his time with his sister and me and the baby are alone. If we're in the car her sister will call her or he will call her and they spend the whole time taking and I am just there feeling ignored. They will go to the store together sometimes, he will ask for her opinion or ask her what we making for dinner. I feel like he should be asking me she does have a husband that can take care of it's so annoyng. We never have privacy it's like they can't live with out each other. Lol he is always thinking of her I know it's her sister and they have a good bond but I'm here to and I need my husband to. What can I do? Whevn i tell him when are we getting our own house he says we will we have to save up I know you really want this. When my husband talks to her it's like he has not seen her in years sometimes he makes her feel more special than me I'm not saying he's mean to me he's a nice guy but forgets he now has a wife any advice?

I used to like going to shows or going out to dinner or going out places but now it's so easy for a year to go by and I've only gone out a small handful of times. Like out to dinner 3 times, out to sight seeing places maybe 3 times. Nothing really. I'm married and my husband used to like to do things but it was just because it was a new relationship. Now it's like I'm turning into him.

When I was 20 Year's old I had a son with my boyfriend, we continued to raise him even after I got married to another man years later and I hyphanated my maiden name to his, I spent 12 wonderful years with my husband had 3 children with him but he passed away 5 years ago. I am getting remarried to my eldest sons father, my boyfriend from when I was 20. Thing is I don't want to let go of my maiden name or my husbands last name I want to stay Kostas-Webb but my fiancé wants me to have his last name because he said people would think that I'm not his wife but still the wife of my former husband. I don't want my full name to be Samantha Kostas-Webb- McCallister!! What do I do!

My husband says he only wants to do cards for valentines. Now I don't need the most expensive present ever, but I think it would be nice to know he put more thought into it than just "here's a 99 cent card I got you today". I made him a handmade card and his gift was this: https://www.thinkingcloset.com/2014/01/21/12-months-of-date-nights-gift-free-printable/ He commented that he wanted to choose when the dates were and didn't like the idea of having to do the dates in a specific month so I don't think he liked it very much. But he did like the card. Anyways, this year I asked him to make his card and for it to be more than just "I love you" written on a piece of paper. Am I greedy?

My wife's mother threatens to kick me and her out all because my wife doesnt pick up much and has me do all the cleaning while she does little.. and she's sick and handicap.. im not and yet we get treated like this! I feel like moving back to new york city again.. should I?
