So my father's sister is getting a divorcing her husband. I'm not really worried or thinking about what this means for my relationship with my uncle, but I am worried about my cousins. They live a few states away and are quite a few years younger than me and I want to be able to support them through this but I just don't know how. All of the kids of divorced couples I know have grown up that way, so I've never had someone remotely close to me go through what my cousins are going through right now. How do I be the great and supportive older cousin I've always been while they go through this? I don't have much contact with them because they're too young for the internet, so most of our relationship is centered around seeing each other in person a handful of times a year, and I'll probably see them less now with the divorce. I don't know..

I'm a single 26 year old with two children. I've dated and either they aren't to my liking or I'm not to theirs. I've also met a few that don't have kids and I prefer someone that has kids because they've been through the experience and understand my life as a mother better, also they like doing kid friendly stuff. I'm ok with staying single and honestly I wouldn't mind being single for the rest of my life. I'm independent, I support myself and my kids, I take them out every weekend (if they behave), I'm not afraid to do things on my own. I've been happy with just my kids but everyone always asks when I will get married, my aunts, uncles, friends and even my parents. Is it necessary to have a partner? I have felt the need to have a partner when my first child was born, it was hard being 16 and taking care of a baby all alone, I wanted help from the father but he didn't want to so I set my mind to thinking I just needed myself. 2nd baby came 7 years later and same thing happened, I was all alone. Maybe this had an impact on me but I don't let that depress me. I feel like it made me strong, if someone wants to be in my life then I will let them in but they have to treat my children better than me. If they decide to walk out then I will still be ok cause I have myself. Is that bad?

My wife is scared of storms she said she can't sleep the wind is blowing kind of hard. She's always worries of the power going out she's terrified of the dark. How can I comfort her ?

Obviously, I will not do anything about this. Does this make me a bad husband?

My friend is married to a piece of **** whom is always lying to her. He cheats on her in a weekly routine and if he doesn't hook up with a woman on Craigslist he will be very mean and hateful towards my friend. She does not know he is cheating on her and she tells me that her husband would never cheat on her because she has been through hell and back to be there for him. 1. They are 26 years apart and he cheated on his 1st wife to be with his 2nd and he cheated in his 2nd wife to be with her and she is too blind to see he is doing that to her. She tells me that he would not do that because she was their when his oldest child died from cancer and they have twins together. Why can't I convince her he has been cheating on her for 10 or more years and now out of nowhere and I think it's because of his old age that he wants to have other men have sex with her so he can have sex with him also. Her husband is also gay because I saw him come out of a porn store together and he does this once a week. He is pissed off b/c Craigslist is not in service to all the cheating scum balls and he is trying to figure out how to keep on cheating if she does not say yes to his demands. She tells him no I do not want to sleep around and he will give her a guilt trip and make her feel as she is not good enough. He is a sack of **** and I just want to know how can I get her to see that her husband is not faithful or how can I get proof he is a no hood cheater?

Does the husband pay all the bills, does the wife and husband split it down the middle, or does the one who make the most money pay the larger bills? How does this work.

My husband ****** up and has been hanging out with the wrong kind of people. He tells me he cut ties with them and he will not be talking with them anymore- my question, can I block the numbers from his line without him knowing? Sneaky, I know, but my family is more important that these people who could potentially ruin my life. Phone plan is in my name.

Long story short - I just started a new job 2 weeks ago. My boss had asked me Sunday night to take 2 vans out for delivery on Monday. When I got to the office she told me to ask Sharon (who's order it was) if I for sure needed 2 vans. I asked Sharon and Sharon said I only needed to take 1 van. So, my coworker & I took 1 van. It wasn't large enough to fit everything (we needed 2 vans) so we ended up having to make two trips. This morning Sharon talked to me and told me she's had a bad day Friday and that I should have just taken the 2 vans and she apparently didn't understand what I was asking hence her telling me to take one van. Everything got delivered so I figured no big deal. The head boss called me into his office and started SCREAMING at me telling me I was insubordinate and didn't listen to my boss. He kept saying he could fire me if he wanted. When I tried to talk and EXPLAIN myself he kept telling me to keep my mouth shut not say anything or I'd be fired. He said he didn't care what I had to say nor did he want to hear my side at all. To me it seems like Sharon set me up so SHE didn't look bad. I was doing HER a favor as this was her order and I'm still in training. I walked out and quit. Was I wrong?

I've been seeing man who has a live in gf and 2 children for a little over year now.When we met he told me he was in the process of leaving.I took what he said at face value, I believed the break up was imminent and I felt sorry for him..thinking he was great guy who just found himself in an unfortunate situation , so in my mind, I was not settling and this was a very temporary. situation Now it's becoming more clear that they are still together and he has no intention of leaving. He won't see me outside his working hours.I can't seem to find the strength to end it somehow.It is cycle --It feels great and fun when I meet up with him.Then I feel bad afterwards, I wait for him to text me and feel crappy in the mean time.I tell myself this isn't worth it,i have to end it.Then he swoops in another special time together.The rush comes back because that makes the bad feelings go away for the time being. I "know" an affair is wrong. I don't like that he goes home to another woman at the end of the day, I don't like sharing him, but I do it anyway, to my own detriment. For feelings. I don't want to be in affair, but I am in one .It's like a drug addict. A heroin addict knows heroin is bad for them, yet they chase that high. I feel like I'm doing the same thing, except I'm chasing the high of romantic love feelings instead of drugs. I want to end it but its hard now that I've fallen for him

There's always been an attraction between us but neither of us have acted on it because he's married and I'm separated from my husband. Then one day I lost all self control and gave him my number. We've been talking for about 2 months now. Still nothing physical has occurred. Then one day during a coversation he tells me he can be a bad boy sometimes, so I asked how bad is bad? He responds with a statement (I'm giving you a clean version here) basically saying I'm gonna give it up to him because he knows I want to. I was in total shock. Like here is this guy who wrote me the sweetest most loving texts and this really came out of his mouth? Initially I was surprised. Now I'm not. I know I deserve it for being stupid. And trust me I'm gonna run for the hills from this guy, but I can only run so far because we work together. Again stupid. I went into this knowing it could only be sex, which is what I wanted because I'm still trying to figure out my life. but in the last 2 months I developed feelings for him and I guess allowing myself to be blinded by charm is why his statement came with such a shock. I wouldn't call the feelings love, just caring feelings. Now I'm angry, mad, and those caring feelings have been flushed down the drain. But I need help getting over this. Advice please and no I'm not going to quit my job, it's too good of a job to quit for some married player.

We met when I was working as a nanny for his family. His wife just used him for his money, she has no interest in being a mom. We fell in love really fast and it was intense. However I quit my job after realizing his wife had found out and was telling people in the neighborhood about us-I couldn't risk my professional reputation. However now I miss him terribly and he's upset because he views me as having left him. I've tried to explain myself but that just seems to make him more upset. How on earth do I make it so that we're on good terms again? Or should I just live with my choice and move on? HOW do I move on?

My ex has been acting flaky and I know he has guns at his place. He's been telling me if I don't do what he tells me I won't get child support. He then sent me this text and it kind of freaked me out but I wonder if I'm overreacting. Here is what he said: "I need the kids Friday night. I will have your money for you then. You and my other ex-wife have put me in a position where I have nothing to lose. I suggest you don't push it."

My wife and I have been together for 10 years. Sex was great at the beginning of our relationship. Now it only happens when I initiate it, and she is only willing every 2-3 months. We have 2 kids one is 2 and the other is 6 months. She says she doesn't think or want sex now because she is just tired. This has been going on since my first was born. Also she isnt happy how her body looks. We live a decent life, she is a stay at home mom, we have a house keeper that comes bi weekly. I offer to help anyway I can, but I do work a lot of hours. I tell her how pretty she is all the time. I am positive that she isn't cheating. I have expressed how I feel and get no where. What should I do? leaving isn't a option, I would never leave my kids.

Where can I hide my birth control pills? I am from a strict Christian home and was married at 19,, I am only 25.. when shopping I always look out of place, my long skirts and old lady tops are silly compared to the women wearing pants and T-shirt's, as well as business suites. I was able to get some birth control pills I went to a place that helps women get pills, not my regular doctor and no it wasn't illegal. My regular doctor would tell my husband, I live in a small community and I had to travel a hour to get the help I needed. Now how do I hide them? I gave birth to my recent baby 5 months ago and this is usually when I get pregnant, I even tracked myself and if he has sex with me this week I will get pregnant. Luckily he is away on business so I can get this sorted before he comes home. My husband doesn't care about my happiness as a women is suppose to be quiet in his mind. She isn't suppose to speak her own thoughts just obey her husband. As the husband in our beliefs is the head. But I am done, I am misrable.

Yes, she was tryin to get some, but it was a compliment as she was really good looking. She actually came up to me too. Back home I've been married for several years and have young kids. I know my wife can't show me that all the time as she's a mother. She has even told me she doesn't want sex as much. Said it's just working and coming home. We are both tired at the end of the day. I get it. However, I want what this other girl was giving me. I can't tell my wife this as she will be mad I was flirting and talking to another woman. How do I relay this to her without her thinking i would cheat (even tho I wouldn't).

It's not like they're cheating

My wife in my opinion is very selfish, i love her and she loves me but i believe I love her way more than she loves me. I have several times spent whole paychecks on her, she loves to go shopping, for herself. When i go shopping i always keep her in mind, most of the time i buy her something. I periodically buy her flowers, teady bears and jewellery. But she will RARELY buy me anything, i dont expect something as often as i give her something but occasionally would be nice This years valentines day was our 1st valentines as a married couple so i wanted to make it special so i bought her a 3/4 karet diamond and gold necklace worth $1,200 and a real rose preserved in 24k gold. She didnt buy me anything until I gave her the gift, and all she bought me was a v day card and a balloon when i went to work later that night. I have to compete with facebook and candy crush all the time for her attention and when i send her a message on fb messanger sometimes she wont respond for hours, but one day she was showing me screen shots she took on her phone and my chat bubble was in the background with an unread message, so she was surfing the internet, taking pictures and cant spend 3 seconds to respond to me I cant even explain to you guys how low in her priorities i feel like i am to her. I try to tell her but she gets mad and says i always have problems with her... My only problem is im not a high priority to her and her actions prove it to me on a daily basis. But she doesnt understand

Does he do it without ur consent? Is it normal for a women to have no say? I am a Christian women. I am born and raised in U.S but I was isolated so I'm not sure if it's normal and I want some assurances. Is want my husband does the way it is? Is it ok he has sex with me when I don't want it and I'm puking in a garbage can?
