My wife had a miscarriage back in May she's still upset over it she's pregnant again she's so scared. She's already had 3 kids she doesn't know what went wrong she never got to know the gender she was 10 weeks. Me and her were fighting over it I told her to act like it never happened and move on with this one. I never had a fight with her before she got really upset with me I really didn't mean it. She knows I'm not mad at her for it. She's been really depressed since she lost it she gets emotional about everything. How can I calm her down ? What should I say to her ?

My husbands parents are recently getting a divorce. My parents have been divorced since I was a baby so it has been my life. This is new for my husband and we have 2 kids ourselves. Since each parent visits on a different day it gets stressful. Leaving only 3 out of 7 days just for us kind of sucks. He works during the day and I work at night. We do this for the kids. I work part time. His mom seems to have walked out on her old life. I want to help. I don't think changing schools for my oldest is the best either but I want my husband to be happy. Please help. Any thoughts

why or why not

We have one son and twins on the way. He has a job and makes really good money, but is spending it on ridiculous things. Like 2 new tattoos for instance. My complete paycheck goes towards our son and pets. I understand I can't draw child support if I live with him, but i don't have enough money to pay for a place on my own and support the kids. We live with his grandmother right now and could have a place of our own if he would grow up. But that seems to be and impossible task for him. So I'm wondering what my legal options are, if any.

does that mean adults DO know what true love is? why do most adult marriages turn out so miserable and end in divorce?

I know of several fathers who have done this. One of them is my ex husband. He saw our child about twice a year when she was growing up. Once for Christmas, the other for her birthday. BIG DEAL. Now that's she's grown he see & talks to her all the time, plus sends expensive gifts. Our daughter evidently has forgotten how he never was around when she was growing up. Another man I know did the same thing, now he's giving cars & other expensive gifts to his grown kids. All I can say is this is so phony, and I'm sure glad my Dad was always around, even though my parents divorced also.

Me and my wife are having our 4th baby in January she's scared she had a miscarriage during her last pregnancy she's been really depressed since then. Our other kids are 6 , 4 and 8 months. She's never had a miscarriage before that she's always been healthy she doesn't know what caused it that saddest part was it happened a week before our son's 6th birthday she was gonna tell him about it on his birthday it was a surprise for him she was really disappointed when she didn't get to. She didn't even get too know the gender of it she was only 9 weeks. She's now 4 months she's still really scared. How can I comfort her ?

I see it in many cases, not just my parents. My brother is struggling so my father ignores him and does not respond when he is expressing pain. Our mother on the other hand is empathetic. Our father has as much empathy as Donald Trump has on his opponents. Meanwhile I see it in many other cases as well.

It is the second most selfish act, murder and maybe suicide being first, so is it the worst thing a parent can do to a child? My mother did it and it destroyed my childhood. When it does happen how do the kids know who to blame?

I ask my husband to get certain things for the home or do certain small repairs and he doesn't do them. He says he won't do any of it unless I put it on paper and make as list for him. He literally does NOTHING around the house. Is this normal and should I make a daily list for him?

Let's say they have teenage children how did they keep in touch with them if they were staying with friends or how did they know when to pick them up from activities like shopping etc?

My husband has IBS and it seems to have gotten more and more severe over the years. When we first started dating he would complain of gas and bloating occasionally but it wouldn't interfere with his life. We have been married just over a year now and his issues seem to have gotten a lot worse. When he feels bad he will often take it out on me and be in a crappy mood. He snaps on me if I cook or buy something he "can't eat" and he often blames me for making him constipated or bloated even though I try to accommodate his food preferences as much as I can. Recently we saw a nutritionist and she has a strict diet plan for him. Of course all the cooking falls on me and it's nothing that I like to eat so I have to make something separate for myself. I feel like my entire life is spent prepping food and praying he doesn't come home with an attitude due to his symptoms. I slave in the kitchen for him prepping the next days breakfast and lunch while he goes to bed hours earlier than I can. We don't go out anywhere because he can't leave the house much, we obviously can't go out to eat, we can't go on vacations. I'm miserable and I feel guilty but I think I'm starting to resent him. Any advice?

She hates me and she wants custody for herself even though it would require a modification of child custody. She tried to have me arrested after saying not to ever contact her unless it is about the kids. At least a month went by and I texted her scolding her for refusing to state who their newest primary care physician is, as well as for instructing the dentists office to release no patient information to their father even though he is legally allowed to have the information. But it was causing problems. So she proceeds to say that I wasn't supposed to contact her in any form or fashion and I did listen to a warning from a police officer. Well that didn't go as she planned so she accused me of child abuse for giving a spanking with my bare hand to her son's butt that left no markings but she stated that there had allegedly been marks. The DHS worker told me immediately that this is unfounded and that there were no witnesses to any marks. I was also told that I am not allowed my law to spank them because step parents don't have rights. I get it. But i am considering saying goodbye to the whole bunch of them even though we have a 1 year old together and it would destroy his life as well which I don't want to do but I am a nurse and I have to look out for my well being and for my nursing license.

I left him and our children over 30 years ago. I was addicted to drugs alchohol and cheating.Our daughters forgave me. I am not that person anymore. He did well for himself and has a wonderful wife. He runs away like I am a ghost whenever he sees me and still trashes me. We run in the same circles and we have grandchildren. We will still see each other. I want to make it less awkward.

My boyfriend and I have been talking marriage a lot lately. His feelings were hurt when I stated I d be hyphenating my last name. My last name is not common and a lot of people know me only by my last name and not my first. Also I am latina and in my culture it is common to hyphenate your last name. I do not mind our children taking his last name only but I would prefer to keep my last name simply because I like it, nothing personal against my boyfriend, I just like my last name. Thoughts?

My wife and I divorced a year and a half ago. She insisted she did not want alimony, so instead I gave her half my 401K, took a loan out for her for half the equity on our home, and I pay her $220.00 a week. We also agreed to joint custody of our two kids. Fast forward to August 2018: She voluntarily quit her job, and wants more money. Furthermore, she has decided to come after me for full custody to make me pay child support, but she has no grounds. I provide for our kids, am there for them emotionally. She only lives 5 miles away from me, so it is not like I live out of state. I get them for 3 days, and she gets them for 3 days. The kids enjoy getting to see both of us, and I don't want that to change. We have a court hearing in 2 months and I just want to know what to expect. I have hired and consulted with a lawyer, who is confident the judge will side with me since she has no grounds, and the judge will consider the interest in the kids before me or my ex wife.

Has anyone ever went thru this, will he come around once he knows the baby is his? He says he will but he has been so cold to me and hasn't been there during my pregnancy at all and I am 6 months now. Also I think he is back seeing his first kids mom now. I really think him talking to her is the reason he is being so cold toward me. I don't understand why he wants a DNA test he knows good and darn well him and I got down like wild animals, not be gross and there hasn't been anyone but him. I am just hoping after he the baby is born and found to be his that he will step up and do what's right! Has anyone been thru this and he came around after finding for sure that the baby was his?

I only seem to be attracted to asians and whenever I tell my mom about an asian guy that I find cute she always stays quiet or rolls her eyes. She's not racist or anything it's just that she believes that when you marry a foreign person they'll end up getting fed up with living in our country and she says that he'll end up leaving to go back to his country and that if we're married and have kids he'll leave me alone with them or something, just because of stories she hears on tv of women leaving with their children back to their home land or men leaving their wives with children when they marry foreign people. She thinks that marrying a foreign person will be complicated but nowadays even if you marry a person that has the same nationality as you, it can get complicated. I believe that in a relationship there needs to be patience and trust and you'll fall in love with whoever you'll fall in love with as love can be interracial and stuff but she's making me overthink things. Any advice please?
