I have a friend that is in an emotionally abusive marriage. It is widely understood that when parents separate or divorce it can be traumatic on the children and so my friend fears what will happen to the kids. They are 7 and 8 this year. I looking for any personal stories that might shed light on what issues the children might face as they grow up if they remain in a household with such abuse and/or if their parents get a divorce.

26 year old been married for 3 years but together for 7 years total. I love my husband but i feel like I'm going through some type of phase. I want to know what it feels like to live on my own and to only worry about myself. I feel like I'm still so young & missing out on life. Me and my husband is always struggling because he rather spend his money on weed and videos games. He recently just quit his job because he felt "unwanted". Hes very sensitive and complains about everything that doesn't go his way, he literally pouts until i apologize. Feels like I'm going through a mid life crisis and I'm only 26. I want to leave but it's so hard for me to leave and idk why. The thought of leaving him hurts because I've think about all the time I've put in this relationship/marriage, i worry about how he will pay the bills of i leave, how he will eat, will he keep things togther. Uggh this weighs soo heavy on me .

How do you knkw if you're a loser?

He has been separated from his wife and lives in a different apartment since January of 2017. They have a child under the age of 18. She is contesting the date of separation because they had sex in September of 2017. She stay over one night and not in the same bed. Is these terms grounds as interruption and or cohabitation. And is it still an uncontested divorced?

Me and My husband are extremely happy in our marriage in fact we are look best friends and our daughter is well behaved and happy we legit have no issues or problems. However I have a family member who has several children by several d iffrent people. In which none of whom are with this person today. The kids are shared mostly on weekends. The last relationship that was had was filled with abuse and lies and every one before almost the same. The children are d iffrent one being very emotional and cries about everything .. especially when the way isn't had and often claims that he hates his sibling and often tries to see the sibling get in trouble. The other doesn't listen at all bad and can be mean.. is this a result of being shared between parents or witnessing the relationships ? I'm curious as to the facts and Google didn't have any answers.. it's just a random thought

I moved into a nice condo in Salt Lake City for law school. I met my beautiful neighbor and she was so nice she invited me over for dinner amd we had salad and lasagna. We knew eachother from BYU and youth activities as kids. I texted a friend about her and he told me she's married. So fast forward a few days later and she brought over milk and cookies and sat on the couch with me barefoot and sat on my lap seductively. I told her the only reason I slept with her the other night was because I thought she was single. She began to cry and told me about her failing marriage and then kissed me she said she doesn't love her marriage and that her marriage has been over the moment the wedding ended. She told me that her marriage is abusive, sexless amd she feels trapped. When I got this condo I didn't know she was my neighbor. Well we've been seeing eachother secretly for 6 months and she even bought me a Rolex watch and told me that it was for her kind lover. When I had to have surgery on my leg after it was broken a buddy of mine told me that her husband was suspicious of us when his wife found out that I was hurt and left the room and started crying in the bathroom,. I'm not sure what to do... her husband is always working and she even took me to her parents place and introduced me as her special friend and her mom said it was a pleasure to meet me. i love her but I'm not sure if she's leading me on. She said she wants to be together but that we need to wait

Father cheated. Moved in with new gf basically. Anyway, it's been over a month. Father hasn't seen kids ONCE. He doesn't call.He did ask when he could see them a couple times but when it came to actually seeing them, never Happened on his end (basically he involved himself more into his new relationship) changes times, wants them only to take them out for lunch which is fine but after a month, that's it? he blocks me for days at a time after he doesn't come for them or on the days he said he would. I had to cut hours at work (one thing I think may make me look like I can't provide for them which I do and have a lot of money saved) After a month he texted his daughter only to express how happy he is, if she loved him she would want him to be happy and talking about his new girlfriend He told her he was going to come Friday,didn't, I had work based off him getting them the weekend so I went to work with them the next day, he cursed me off after I told him I can drop the kids to him after work because he wanted to take them out(he doesn't have a car) he blocked me and his daughter saw on his Instagram he was at his girlfriends later that day He says that visitation will work around his scheduleHe doesn't even know his daughter softball team name or what's on her report card or even know when his sons next doctor appt is because I'm doing it all! I dk what he plans on saying. But how could he expect full custody? I offered every other weekend and anytime agreed

About every five or six years they have a crisis and separate.

My husband recently told his parents and family/friends we were on the rocks and were thinking of splitting up. We reconciled and everything is better but now his mom and dad keep calling asking "is everything ok? How is your marriage ?!" I told him he made the mistake of telling them (not normal for a 30+ man) and he needs to tell them to stop asking . He gets defiant and defensive when I tell him these calls aren't appropriate . Why do they do this and what can we do? Are they secretly hoping we are divorcing ? His parents have never liked me but lie to my face and say they do.

Because that's how much it works itself. That's how hard it works day in day out. I am an artist btw but not obsessively but it does help me with my imagination as do other creative things I do regularly. However I don't think I can contain my big imagination into just creating things. And thats the problem. For example, it is so big that I have pretty much, for most of my life, if not all, been very very easily able to understand philosophies such as those of Nietzsche or nihilism or solipsism. These latter two are ones that I know many people have a hard time grasping let alone being able to debate or particularly explain and talk about them, even if just to themselves on their own minds. But me? My mind naturally understands and grasps those types of things. I no longer seek out those types of books to read. I was just mentioning that here to show you how deep my mind&heart (my imagination, in essence) goes. Art, philosophy, imagination, fantasies of a sexual or romantic nature, mental illness (experiencing it and exploring those of others') are all things off the top of my head that I over-understand in a very instinctive natural way. I do not seek a lot of these things out on purpose. My mind. Just. Goes. There.
