So my wife is graduating bootcamp for the military and im going to see her tomorrow. Im 23 and shes 25 both female. My best friend emily of 12 years contacted me after 3 years of no contact last week saying that she was in town and wanted me to see her new baby boy. I had stopped talking to Emily because her and my wife got into a fight over fb about how my wife treated me. At the time my wife was emotionally and physically abusive, more on the emotional side and at that time, she broke up with me. I didnt think we were getting back together with how she treated me. I called emily and told her everything that happened because i was so upset with what happened. After a few days, my wife messaged me saying she was sorry, and well i believed her so i took her back(it didnt stop shes still emotionally abusive) My wife put a picture of us on fb and emily wrote "😑". My wife messaged emily saying back the **** up and they got into an agrument emily saying im too good for my wife and that she doesnt deserve me. My wife told me its either her or emily, and she asked me to block emily on Facebook and to not talk to her and i said sure, im not sure why i said yes to it but i did. I want to start talking to Emily again, but how do i tell my wife about it without her getting angry at me? I know in a marriage, your spouse is supposed to be #1 but my friends are important to me too. Does it make me a bad wife or person for wanting to talk to emily again? (She did apologize btw 2 years ago)

I'm 17 and I work in the fast food industry currently. Saturday night I was working drive thru and I was the back window where I take money and take orders. This man had a women with him I'm guessing it was his wife ? Well I took the money and was being nice and friendly! I immediately noticed his eyes were hazel brown and really pretty!!! They were contacts ! I could tell . I told him his eyes were pretty!!!! And he said thank you and they drove to the second window where. They pick up the food and they were arguing in the car !!!! And the women WANTED a refund because I said his eyes were pretty!! He had to be in his 30s and so was she ! I'm only 17!!! I wasn't flirting nor did I want her man!!! What do you guys think? Did she over react or was I in the wrong

Just an opinion: I see a lot of ugly couples that seem to be happy. I could point out 100 Hollywood beauties, that are not having a happy marriage.

It seems like people jump into marriage quickly, don't take marriage as seriously as they should, and jump back out once things get rough. Divorcing like it never even happened, do you think that the mass acceptance of divorce caused us to slowly come to this point of rushed marriages and broken families, or is there another factor?

When my husband and I got together there were things that I wanted and he said he wanted to. We agreed he would get a job and I would have the kids and we would move out of state. Now I'm older and I want something a little bit different. I want a job which he encourages me to go for but he never holds down a job for long and it takes quite a while between them. He also now doesn't even want to move out of this area at all. Now I'm not a walk in the park I was abused when I was younger which is why I want to leave the area and because of his inactivity I tell him I don't want to be together almost daily. It has been four years and he still has only had two jobs. We are currently living with his family and they are kind to me and I care deeply for them but they keep telling me that I'm going to have to get the job that he wont at all. Then they also tell me I should stay with him. When I tell him I don't want to be together he pleads and tells me it will be different but so far it isn't I see change little bits of change but not in the problem areas. Now we both love video games but I take care of the dogs I clean the house pretty much by myself with little to no help from his family member or him and I still play but he plays all night and sleeps during the day. We don't ever do anything really outside of the house together. I feel alone, lied to, and like he never wanted the things I want.

So I have this friend and she was one of the first people I told that I'm engaged. Were not close she just happened to come over after my engagement and noticed my ring. I didn't want to lie. anyway, when asked about it, I told her I was newly engaged. She said, "awesome! I'm so happy for you!" and I told her, "your enthusiasm excites me! I hope to get the same reaction from my future bridesmaid." Now, she took this as an invitation to her being the bridesmaid by saying, "I'm sure she will ;) I will pretend to act suprised when you ask me." I said, "Awesome!" So she said, "Thank you for making me your honorary bridesmaid! I wont let you down Britney!" When she said that, I shocked and didn't know what to say how do I disinvte her to being my bridesmaid?

Assume you were with your mistress for a few years, not just a few nights or a couple months. Would you miss her? Would you try to get back in touch with her? Ever reach out just to see how she's doing?

I want to be the best to my future husband.

He has 1 friend that he's known his whole life pretty much but now they only see each other like once every few months. He's getring married and my husband says he's "obligated" to go even though he "doesn't want to" I think that's BS. Why would a male not want to go party on Vegas and see strippers?! He's never given me reason to not trust him but the idea of VEGAS FREAKS ME OUT! I keep reading about what happens there online and how much temptation there is and he'll be with 9 guys and I just can't handle the fear!! He never goes out with the guys or stays out late or anything like that but I'm dying inside... I told him and he says he's "obligated" which "obligation" in this world involves strippers!!? The trips in 2 days and I can't handle this anxiety... please don't make me feel worse! :'(

all the other people who entered into a marriage agreement only to wind up getting divorced?

Im 13 years old and ive known about this for more than a year. I found out when my dad let me borrow his phone for homework. And me being the nosy person i am, i decided to check out his chrome tabs. And i found they were all filled with a website called "ourtime". Hes been chatting with multiple women!! I just dont know what to do. I have no idea if my mom knows about this. But i dont want my parents divorce. B/c if they divorce, its gonna be my fault for spilling the truth. but at the same time, i want my mom to know becuase she has been faithfully married to him for OVER 20 YEARS. i hate being the only one to know about this

why are some fathers like..my daughter has to be a pristine virgin forever but my wife.his daughter's won mother should know some whore stuff to do for him? and what I want to know is DOES THIS MAKE THE MOTHER ANGRY OR JEALOUS OF HER OWN DAUGHTER? instead of being supportive? are they just both foul? and daughter is innocent scapegoat?

Married 14 years and usually have sex once a year. Never cheated before and tired of being alone. I love my wife but Im tired of continually being rejected. She refuses counseling. I'm not overweight, not an ogre have above average penis and try my best to please my wife. I feel so frustrated. After marriage sex just disappeared. I feel conned.
