My husband and our 2 year old son lives in a house with his parents. My husband works overnight, 40 hours a week on average while I work days and only works 20 hours a week. Both in-laws work 2 job, one does retail / floral with the other one does babysitting his other son's kids / floral. There's also 2 dog they own, a dachshund and a bulldog. I watch our son mostly due to husband working over night and during his days off he wants to game and watch tv and such. If I have to work during the day he takes care of our son with no problem. He's a great father! My question is, I am expected to clean the entire house because I don't work and much as they do, so when I tend to clean it's always not enough or "why can't you do it more often" (referring to mother-in-law who rather leave dishes on the floor instead of putting them into the dishwasher) But basically, since i only work 20 hours a week and watch our son during the day, any better tips on how i can clean up better after 3 grown adults and 2 dogs? Sorry for the long post.

I have anger issues towards my husband and his ex wife. I'm not sure what exactly it is but I know I'll have to figure it out, do something about it and move the hell on. My husband has 3 children from previous marriage and I have 2 children from previous marriage. We all live under one roof (minus the ex wife). I am taking care of our 5 children. Technically I am the mother and father to these 5" children. My husband travels and barely home. I use my own money to buy clothes for all 5 children. My husband won't give me any money to buy clothes for the any of the children, even his own flesh. Their own biological mother, comes inside our home and pack the children's clothes when she picks them up for the weekend, sometimes they fight in our home... calling each other "bruh (bro) & sis" it was hard having to watch my husband gets mad over her calling him "bruh" and the look on his face. I talked to my husband about having her stay outside while the children gets ready. Weeks went on, and nothing changed. He said I'm being dramatic and always angry. I don't want a bad relationship with the ex-wife, due to her 3 children are my children as well. What should I do?

Hey y'all My wife and I married back in December during our freshman year of college. She was and still is the love of my life. I thought our married life was going spectacular until she dropped this bombshell on me. She told me that I can't satisfy her physically and that she's in with my personality but doesn't see me as a sexual person. She told me I'm too nerdy and that I don't excite her emotions. Thankfully she doesn't want to divorce but she wants my permission to sleep with other men. We both believe premarital sex and divorce are sins in the eyes of God, but adultery when permitted by the spouse seems like a Biblical gray area. That said, the thought of her sleeping with other men literally kills me. But her leaving me would be unbearable. I plan to spend the rest of my life with her, start a family, grow old, etc. I'm thinking I'm going to give her permission but there are a couple issues. She agreed to never bring these men home or to talk about them to make it easier for me to turn a blind eye, so that's a positive. However, she said she would never have sex with me and that our marriage would be strictly platonic. She told me I wouldn't be allowed to sleep with other women due to her jealousy. Also she's not okay with me watching porn. She even put parental controls on my laptop and phone which block porn but this was back in February so maybe given these new circumstances she'd at least allow me that. What do y'all think I should do?

My wife and I going through divorce in Pennsylvania. My wife apploed for Education Loans prior to marriage (2009) but used the money from the loans (2009-2013) during the marriage to get the medical degree to be a doctor. Would those loans be considered joint or separate? Am I responsible?

I started getting to know my boss's daughter earlier this year. And the more I see her and her husband, Victor, I cant help but feel some sort of pity for how mediocre they are. When you analyze it, you see that they are with each other mostly because all their options ran out (or were not interested in then) You look at Isabella (the wife) and see how shy and introverted she is. How clumsy and even a bit airheaded. She is not beautiful. She is very thin, petite, wears glasses, etc... Then we look at Victor, a man with sluggish body, also introverted and a gamer in his mid 30s. It often reminds me of Darwin's principle of sexual selection. How the best females end up with the best males and vice versa. There are other couples I see as well. The kind of couple who are both on their macs at the cafe. Its also clear that...the older and more experienced one gets, the less picky they come. This is true of women but can also apply to men.

I am going through divorce right now. Both my wife and I are from Pa. My wife applied for her education loans to go to medical school before her marriage, but used the loan money to complete her degree during marriage. She worked for about 4 years after completing her school and then we filed divorce. Would her student loan consodered to be marital and am I responsible for that?

All my friends are marry or getting marry, they have a family of their own. And I have nothing, I have a great job that pay 80,000/year and I have no kids of my own to spend it on. I want a husband, my own family. I'm not ugly or fat, when will it be my turn.

I had a massive panic attack yesterday and my husband yelled at me through the whole thing. He yelled at me to "stop it right now", "CALM DOWN", "you're overreacting".. etc. I was laying on the floor of our apartment and he yelled at me to get up and come to the bed so he can comfort me.. I physically couldn't get up or speak. This made him even more angry so he came over to me and started dragging me to the bed. When he couldn't get me on the bed he just went on the bed by himself and went on his phone. Then he began to yell at me to shut up because he couldn't go to sleep. I was so upset about the whole thing that when I came out of it I couldn't even talk to him so we just went to bed. The next morning... 3am I wake up to him puking in the bathroom.. he has the flu. So I take care of him. Go to the store to get necessary items and give him everything he's asked for. Finally now at 5:00 pm I've had it. I've taken care of him all day and he hasn't spoken once of last night. I haven't heard I'm sorry or any apology. When I brought it up to him just now that he wasn't comforting me last night he is claiming that I'm selfish because I don't want to cuddle with him right now because I'm upset about last night. I don't know what to do... please help

I'm having an affair with a married man. I love him very much and I don't know if he loves me back. I don't get it as this is not the usual love affair you hear about. We are good together and we don't just have sex and chat either. We do stuff that any married couple would do. Maybe he just can't choose between us? I don't know...his wife keeps having the upper hand. He says his family is first priority to him but then if that's the case why am I still in the picture? He was the one who chased me after all. It seems he used to be real head over heels for me in the beginning but now he's not as romantic or sexual with me. I wonder if it's just him being comfortable or him being scared? This is really confusing as I found out he's a pretty reserved guy that doesn't really open up to emotion and we've started working on that some in our conversations. He says he has feelings for me and likes doing things with me. I'm his best friend and he is my best friend too. Every time I bring up ily he never says it back. Am I crazy for waiting for it to all work out? Sometimes when we're together and have our moments I feel like we've been married for 20+ years already. Even with ups and downs, he's the best thing that ever happened to me.

But they would have long term relationship with a woman until death do them apart?

Hey. What's up? Honestly kind of missing you, if that's ok to say. I Don't hit me back on here, or reply at all... Long story. But be awake 2am tomorrow if you wanna talk?

I need the money for my sons medical expenses. I asked my ex politely but he refuses to help.

I can't wait to go home to go to bed so that I can enjoy life.I'm married to this man I know who's not normally my type but I have to see him on a regular basis because we both belong to the same organization.

Soon I am having a marriage interview with me and my wife. I'm gonna be honest, I'm pretty nervous. I am not nervous because we are hiding something, or that we are faking it. I truly love her, and I know she loves me to. I'm nervous about that we have to proof 'them' that we love each other. I mean I can show that we have a history, we have photos of us, at events, holidays, our wedding. We've been together for 3 years, but what if they just look at it and disregard that. Then I heard they ask personal question, and I get nervous, last thing I want is to get confuse with something and mess everything up and then god forbids I get separated from her because of today era with immigration....it's scary. It's just that I promise her once everything gets situated, I was gonna get each other our own apartment (living with my big brother), with our own privacy, I'll get a good paying job then start a family. But now it feels likes all that can easily go away, or get more delayed by someone else point of view. I wish I never had this issue so my wife & I can live happy, but it's not, and I feel like a burden. I'll just be happy if someone can tell me their honest story on the interview so it can put my heart at ease.

The kids hate visiting us and become emotionally catatonic and have ran away when they have to visit me and my fiancé. They love seeing their grandparents and my fiancé's idiot brother and they never shut the **** up about their mom and her husband. My fiancé was working late so he and his ex wife( who is a sneaky little *****) agreed to let the grandparents take them to a pool party.No one clued me in on this. I wanted alone time with the stepchildren.I had a whole day planned we were going to watch cnn and law and order all day. I want to be a family, I want to be as important as their mother. My dumb brother in law will not come anywhere near me. I yelled at my fiancé's parents, For not making them miss the pool party, and now they won't text me back to watch our baby.I get the feeling they like the ex wife better than me I have told the kids one day their grandparents will be dead and I will be all they have, so they should be nicer to me. I said this in front of my fiancé and his whole family , which really pissed off my fiancé. His grandma kicked me out.

She is not allowing him to see his son, even after she says she will. She went to family court this morning. I am a wreck, very upset, have a knot in my stomach, and of course worried about my son who is alone, no car (but lives in the city). Low on cash, etc. He is depressed, angry. How can I help him? My heart is aching for all of them.

I am very confused. I know cheating is wrong and I don't cheat at all during marriage, but why does she think that controlling my life to this level is OK? Her acting like this almost makes me want to add people more, or piss her off more, bcuz I feel she has no freaking right to obsess about my life to that level. Again... if I flirted, or cheated, fine that would be wrong. But simply adding someone on Facebook? That's dumb. If I treated my wife like this because she added someone, she'd probably act so freaking annoyed or say I'm being insecure etc.

This was a text message: we can get married if you want lol

being it was more work than you thought, to expensive, husband or boyfriend does not help, or he left, does not pay his child support..how do you feel about having HIS son to carry on HIS last name when he is not involved or will not pay child support, leaving everything up to you to handle...then when YOU pass away..his name carries on, because YOU did all the work..

Why would a guy who s 33 date a divorcee with 3 kids and 2 grandkids she s only 34. What s the attraction plus its interracial. He s also never married and has no kids

I have a good friend who we'll call "Susan", Susan has never been good in relationships, usually choosing toxic people that end up taking advantage of her kindness. It's been difficult to watch her navigate these bad relationships and even more difficult being the shoulder she cries on because she never listens or takes your good advice. Anyways, Susan got into an emotional relationship with a married coworker (who is also 30 years older than she is.) He's unhappily married, says that he wants to divorce his wife, but they don't discuss a plan or timeline for any of that. She says they're in love and he's telling her he wants TO MARRY HER! LOL. Susan says she realizes it's wrong but she doesn't care about the wife because it's not her business and says the love has been gone for many years. I'm seriously struggling to be a supportive friend for a few reasons. 1) I recently got engaged, so her rendezvous with a married man makes me a little nauseous. 2) I have morals and STRONGLY disagree with her actions and 3) I just don't see it ending well for her. I've told her that I don't approve and that I'll always be there for her but I wish she would have gone a different route, that she's selling herself short, that she can do better for herself, etc. How do I handle this? I just feel like Susan is being so ignorant and it feels like watching a slow motion train wreck. I am so sick of having to pick up the pieces for her and so I am frustrated watching her go down this road.

I grew up in a non-religious household and my husband grew up in a traditional Catholic household. He grew up going to the Latin Mass. We dated for a year and a half. Eventually he proposed to me. In order for us to get married, I had to convert to Catholicism. So I went through catechism lessons with his traditional priest. Out of everything I learned about Catholicism from the catechism classes, there was one particular teaching that didn't sit well with me. It was the teaching of marriage and birth control. The priest told me that the purpose of marriage is procreation and therefore birth control is sinful. He taught me that God will always provide and that he will never give me and my husband more kids than we can handle. Therefore we are to have trust in God's divine providence. I was a little concerned about this teaching. After being married for six years, we now have 5 kids together. I am always exhausted and feel overwhelmed a lot. It feels like I don't give enough attention to all my kids because I'm so busy with all of them at once. Also, we are very tight on money and we receive food stamps. It feels like we are financially doomed. I can't handle anymore kids and I don't want anymore children. My husband tells me that the practice of birth control is a mortal sin and that we would end up in hell if we die unrepentant of the sin. Though I no longer believe this. How do I tell my husband I no longer believe in Catholicism and that I don't want anymore kids?

I will be leaving shortly to drop my husband off at work. Since it is warm out and I am not getting out of the car and only going to be gone for about a hour I am just going to drive barefoot and leave my shoes at home. I don't like wearing shoes if I don't have to and I don't need shoes to drive my car since I am not going in anyplace.
