Every so often I find myself and coworkers having discussions about our homes and families and on most occasions it leads to talking about our other halves. Most times I am able to redirect the convo, but on other occasions It can't be avoided. How do you all speak about your husband or wife if you are in same sex marriage?

It was six years ago today that my fiancé proposed and honestly I don't remember how he asked me. Today our daughter asked me to tell her the story and I realized I couldn't tell her so I had to tell her to ask her dad. That was a chaotic day for both of us. It was his birthday and I was planning to surprise him for dinner. However, later that day I also found out I was pregnant so I planned to tell him at dinner. When I told him I was taking him out he said no we're going somewhere else and we got in a fight about because I already made reservation and stuff but it was his birthday so I went along with it. He took me by the river where we had our first kiss all the way in high school but I didn't even realize what was going on because I was so excited about being pregnant. When we got there I was so anxious to tell him I was pregnant but he was like what I have to say is gonna have to wait because he had something to say. I was kinda mad and just ignored everything waiting until I could tell him the news. Then suddenly he got on a knee and said something along the lines of give me the best wedding gift ever by being my wife, will you marry me? I began crying and immediately said yes and I told him my news. We were both in disbelief but the sex after was amazing. Finding out I was pregnant then being proposed to was the best day of my life and I perhaps will never be able to top that birthday present for him. However, I feel bad for ignoring what he said and not know fully how he proposed. I feel really bad for not knowing and couldn't tell our daughter. He is also my husband I don't know why I used fiancé twice.

We have a 3 and 5 year old. My husband wants to bring his parents (60 and 66) from india to live with us, instead of with his sister. They stayed with us for 5 months last year and went back. Everything is on our expense and his mother needs full care - washing, eating, moving, toilet, etc. due to a stroke 2 years ago. This falls on me. I have RA too. I don't want them here but he isn't listening.

We just bought a house not in the greatest area. We had an idea that it wouldn't be the quietest especially it being warm out. We've been here already for a month. Last night the next door people had their music super loud past 10:30 pm. I called the police but have no idea if they ever came since I fell asleep 30 minutes later music on and all. My husband was PIssed of he was very close to tellin them off but i told him not to because it's gonna stir up problems so that's why I anonymously called the cops. Today he's drunk and high and super angrier. He came angry home and said that tonight is the night. If they don't lower the music at the curfew time in his words " he's gonna go over there take the speaker and break it apart" then he had the nerves to say that I better have his back. I begged him to plz don't stir up the pot since we are new ppl and it will create problems plus I don't want to put our kids in danger. We don't know what type of people these people are. He called me a scary cat and said that I'm taking their side cuz I won't let him handle it. I honestly don't know what to do. Am I wrong for trying to avoid problems??? What should i do!? Any advice

Three months ago I find out I'm pregnant. He's even happy about it. We make plans come up with names all's good. Until about a month in, He's started treating me like ****. His last relationship was terrible, the chick did nothing for him, cheated constantly and was manipulating. he's started treating me like her. Joking that he's going to cheat on me, insisting I'll cheat on him. Telling me to leave as a joke. He has a habit of biting me hard when we play around and leaving bruises. Last week I was trying to get him to let go and he punched me in the stomach and said it was my fault. He gets moody and won't talk. Says I'll make a great single mom and teases me about my marriage. He treats me like garbage and then gets mad when I don't want to do things in bed for him later. I loved this guy for seven years. Now we're together and I feel like I may have made a mistake. My ex husband didn't make great choices but he always treated me well. I've been considering having the baby and taking off to my family 12 hours away. Filling for child support and not involving him in the babies life at all. He's not treating me well and he's not taking care of me And I don't deserve to be treated like his ex. He has good moments but reverts to the shitty ones quick and often. I've been doing my best to make it work but he seems to just get worse and now I'm just sick of it. But now he makes me the bad guy for not wanting to put up with it anymore. Should I have the baby and leave? Or?

My uncle is cheating on my aunt and he has a daughter and a son. The kids know about it and in the end my aunt and uncle divorced

Me and my wife have been married for 6 years we have 5 kids. She got pregnant with our twins when she was 15 had them at 16. She had our second son when she was 18 he turned 4 yesterday. We also have a daughter who's 2. We got married when she was 16 I was 19 her dad died not long after we got married before she had our twins also before her 16th birthday since then she's been really depressed. Her mom died when she was a kid she doesn't remember her it's been her and her dad. Now me and the kids are the only ones she has. She cries about every little thing or nothing. She even cries after we make love after we do it she falls asleep on me she cries herself to sleep. Most days she doesn't feel like going to work she just wants to stay home all day and sleep. Every year around the anniversary of her fathers death she doesn't want to do anything but sleep or nap all day. She takes that day off work too. It's really hard for her. How can I help her through this ? She's 21 almost 22 She also just had a baby last Friday

We are now both remarried and no jealously or resentment issue with our 2nd marriages~ I thought that kids and grandkids would love to see these pictures~ what do you all think?

Me and my wife have been married for 2 years we have sex maybe once or twice a week if not three. How often should we do it ?

My parents purchased a retirement townhouse in the area my husband and I live in. My parents are allowing us to stay there contingent upon us paying their mortgage for the house as well as all HOA fees etc. it is MUCH cheaper then renting. The townhouse is nice, the neighborhood is one of the most desired in our city. HOWEVER for some odd reason we have some really shady characters in our neighborhood. It's full of retired men who appear to be drunks and perverts. My neighbor has tried numerous times to sleep with me and my best friend. At one time he grabbed my vagina and then made it seem like it was an accident. He's in his late 50's and is married. It's made me so uncomfortable I don't like sitting on our back patio when he is around. We also have two neighbors who live across the street who have been banned from using the pool because they were touching women's behinds while intoxicated. I'm really uncomfortable living here but my husband and I can't afford a place at the moment. We are only paying my parents 600 per month which is very cheap and gives us room to save for a home. My husband works as a truck driver so he's often gone which also makes me uncomfortable staying there by myself. ANY ADVICE??

I feel like If I tell my husband he will leave me and that's all I care about. But I know I need to tell him, but I just don't know. I'm so lost right now 😕

So I'll start by saying I'm married, and I'm completely in love with my husband and have never had any desire to cheat. We were at our unit, I was staying the night making up drill. We had gotten back later after picking up some soldiers who broke down. When we got back, he helped me find my stuff and showed me the gym and everything because it was my first time ever being here. When we got to the room I was supposed to sleep in, he sat down and we chatted for a few. He said he was getting ready to leave so I took my sleeping medicine (ambien). He laid down on the bed which was weird to me, but I was out of it so I laid down on the floor. I couldn't make much of anything. I was in and out of counsiusness. Next thing I know he's pulling my pants off. Everything seemed like it was moving fast, but It was like it was in slow motion. I couldn't speak, so I guess I didn't say no, but my body was limp so I didn't participate or say yes. I tried fighting it once by closing my legs but he just flipped me over to the side and held my knee down, and then I lost counsicouness. I had no attraction to this male, no desire to be with him sexually, just before this happened we were talking about my husband. He said he hadn't had sex in 8 weeks, and he was going to go beliggerant. Apparently he was serious. What do you think?

My wife is a good woman, lover and provider. I have never had any issues, but last weekend we met up with some old friends (girls) of hers from school and i discovered that her nick name in high school was "Ms face down a** up" and im not sure how to take that? She told he she was a virgin and was waiting til marriage

It may sound like I'm some loser of a wife, that I'm easy etc, but I never had this attraction towards anyone in my life. It's more that a crush, it's turned into an obsession. I buy my husbands similar clothes he wears, I got husband to cut his hair but he still isn't doing it for me like his friend does. I hold my pillow at night thinking it's his friend, I groom my parts just in case one day I get lucky with him, I want it to be just right. I'll water the plants outside in my shorts, most guys look at me, so I would hope he finds me attractive. Sometimes I wish my husband wasn't friends with him, then other times I feel like Im wasting my life with my husband and that his friend and I should be living together. If I ever do land my husbands friend, I wouldn't care if we had to start fresh in an apartment, as long as he came home through the door into my arms. Nothing else would matter, I have no kids, he only has 2 with his wife, she's a 2 on a scale of 1-10, 2 is low. Im an 8. so , there really isn't much a competition there. How do I speed things up ?
