Wife was really mean towards husband before and after she got pregnant, the marriage has been falling apart. Now that the baby is here, she seems a lot nicer. She is mostly hostile normally but she has been oddly nice after the baby was born. The marriage was already on the rocks before the baby was conceived and got worse as the pregnancy progressed. Will this behavior last? Or Does it sound like some sort of phase?

Or is it like some kind of a deal? An alliance?

and the same goes for those top model reality shows. women seem to enjoy staring at attractive women even more than men do. @bambi: if women watch pageants to reassure themselves they've still got it, then why do fat middle-aged mothers watch the pageants? surely they're not expecting they could compete with young, lithe, fit 20 yo girls?

He was with his ex for ten years and they have a four year old together. They split two years ago and are on fairly good term for their childs sake. She claimed she didn't really love him and she never accepted who he was. She recently sent a letter asking for him back but he's said he doesn't love her any more and has no interest in getting back with her, that it's likely she sent it as she was freaking out about the divorce finally going through - but he does plan to meet with her to talk about it, just so it doesn't look like he's completely rejecting her. He has dated a fair bit since they broke-up, he does seem genuinely interested in a relationship with me. I don't believe in marriage so it's hard for me to understand the weight of divorce, especially with a child involved, and I've also never dated someone who has been separated or divorced before.

He said he wasn't going to give me the money for the mural I did for him. he said I used my hands and not mouth. how do I get paid? tell wife?

and making jokes about it. Shouldn't she have forgotten by now ? Her sister is coming to visit tomorrow are women are good about keeping these sort of things secret ?

My husband and I are no longer sleeping together because suddenly within the last 4 months he claims he cannot sleep without the radio blasting and the bright light on. I cannot sleep with the radio on not with a light blaring in my face. Not sleeping has started to affect my health. (Heart condition). I decided to sleep on the couch, do you think our relationship is headed to the fork in the road. If it is then I want to prepare myself and be ready.

My parents were recently robbed at their house and they recently moved out to a better area. He claims to be concerned about my kid to be in a dangerous neighborhood, but when we got deep into it he mentioned that he doesn't want my daughter to visit my family ever until she can decide for herself (18 years old). He threaded me in accusing me of kidnapping if I ever try to take her out of the US without his consent. My family and friends would love to see him. My friends have never met him and I feel so sad and disappointed about this situation Background: Me and my husband used to live there for 5 years (in my country of origin) that's where we met :(

I like it. But just wondering why he does it. Hes so manly and stoic.

So basically my fiancé and I had recently had a baby. This is both our first child. So we've been staying with my mom until she gets two months. He hasn't really been helping and he's been dictating everything. When I should feed her/ what I should feed her. Such as breast milk because he claims it would save him money. He only bought formula once. My mom has bought it more than he did. My breast milk supply isn't that much but it's coming along. I can make at least 3 bottles. We had a disagreement about him laying in front of a rotating fan with our freshly out of the bath newborn laying on top of his chest. My mom made the comment that the baby could catch a cold so I grabbed her thin receiving swaddle blanket and laid it on top. He proceeds to tell me that I'm being way too over protective and that he is no longer going to help and that it is all my mom and me. Which it has been just means my mom at night anyway because he sleeps. He then tells me he got something to do Saturday and when I asked him what it was he said he isn't going to tell me until he is ready to. I'm thinking it's over.

I'm having trouble in my sociology class and need depth understanding on both sides. Thank you for the help :)
