My wife has mental breakdowns for no apparent reason. I try everything I can do to help her. Our kids dont like seeing her upset especially our youngest daughter. Why do some girls cry for no reason ? How can I help her feel better ?

My husband is financially, emotionally, and psychologically abusive. We are still married and I work but barely make enough to live on my own and save money. I have 2 kids, one is his. I really need a way out and I can't save any money due to paying bills. Could I get government help while still living with my spouse so I can move and get away from the abuse?

if i had choice between getting custody of a child or simply paying for the kid I would gladly give custody to the mother. Children mean slavery for me which is why I do not want them. If my partner had custody that means I am free to do what I want and travel where I want as long as I paid what I was obligated to. I do not have kids now and do everything I can not to have them.

I have caught feelings for one of my friends that is married with kids and a baby in the way (she just shared her news with me during the weeken). I would like to add that I do not expect her to leave her husband. We have reunited and become closer for some months now and I felt something between us beyond a friendship. I have noticed a few things. She talked about me to her husband more than anybody else from work, her and her husband doesn't seem close, the only thing she has shared with me about him is that he's nice, all of her friends were so curious to know me bc she mentioned me ALOT to her friends and so much more. I wish I had enough room to share it all but I don't. While being said, I have decided to keep myself distant from her. I'm just wondering if I should tell her how I feel or not.

They want to support my Mom;s brother regardless of his actions. Thus, they are supporting him having an affair. His marriage has never seemed like a happy one. Yet naturally his kids are going to be furious he is cheating on their mother. I am not his kid so it is not my business. While I don;t endorse cheating it is not my family (not my immediate family) so I am just staying out of it. However when his kids find out they are going to hate my parents for this and for good reason. What do I do when they find out as even though they might hate my parents I want to be able to stay close to them. I have seen all to often when family members fight with the parent generation they become uncomfortable with the parents children (even adult children) and thus distant or estranged from them. I fear this will happen here as I assume affairs get discovered eventually. I over heard my Mom say the uncle and his lover seem to be distancing themselves from each other since summer so maybe they called of the affair. My uncle is separated from his wife but still married and hoping the wife will take him back. The affair I don't think is known. They separated for other reasons as his wife is an alcoholic and wouldn't get help. He moved out for the kids (mainly the autistic son who is affected by it). His children don't seem to know yet as they did not go on the beach trip. I know cause I was there with my parents due to my paternal grandmother's death in July.

I know I personally waited several years, but how long were you engaged before you married?

That is to say, should the West have arranged marriages?

She is thoughtful, loving, and a great person. We have a great family and she is always getting stuff done for the family and puts others before herself. Recently I have had anxiety issues and have been down in the dumps. A couple of days ago I was down and she is the person that wants me to stay positive and suck it up. I sound like a baby, I know. However sometimes I need that it will be OK. She told me she is always stressed and does care about me, but because she is pregnant she can't take on more stress. Thoughts about this?

My husband is constantly trying to cheat on me. I usually catch him every time before they meet up. He has tried hooking up with strangers on line,at bars, my friends, coworkers and ex's. Every time i catch him he lies until i threaten to leave or i have to show him solid proof. I think he has a problem with commitment and it angers me when he says he doesn't know why he does it. He says he hates himself for doing it but he likes the attention. I fear i'm dealing with someone that will always be a cheater. However, i was advised since we have been together so long and have a family we should try marriage counseling.Any thoughts ?

I don't like vacationing alone

Hello everyone, I've been married for a little over a year and it seems like the intimacy has faded a lot in that year. I'm not sure how to feel about it. It seems like she makes herself off limits during the week and the only time we are intimate is on the weekends. It's not that I want to all the time, but it gets pretty old when there is no randomness or when it's not spontaneous. I've started to get alittle paranoid that maybe there is someone else because we used to have a very healthy sex life. But now it seems like she has more and more excuses for why she is not as intimate. One which concerned me the most was that it was her new birth control messing with her sex drive. She stopped taking it for awhile and said that was the reason, but our sex life did not change. So I don't understand how she came to that conclusion , unless there is someone else. Anyone have experience with this or any advice. Is the re a reason to be worried or is this normal at times?

This woman husband always looking to se if I'm looking at his wife.. I'm a female with a fiancé.. i have very large boobs and butt. Idc to look at anyone else.. he acts very strange idk why he always look to see if I'm looking!!

Most wives of wealthy men get cheated on. Ive read a lot of women that marry for money just become dissatisfied with their marriage.

We have been married for 18 months. The last year we started talking about doing a backpacking trip. Creating memories for ourselves before kids and all that. The plan was to be away 6 months but we managed 3 weeks before we had to head home. For me it started with diarrhea. We went to the hospital in Cambodia. I felt a little better but then I started getting headaches , nausea and palpitations. We went go the hospital again in Vietnam and they couldn't find anything physically wrong with me. So they diagnosed me with anxiety attacks. I almost hoped they would find something wrong so I could justify it. We went home and I felt so disappointed in myself. I could see my husband did to. He needed this trip. He wanted it to be our last big thing. He had spent months planning routes and things to do. Some of our friends were going to meet us up as well. We've been home now for a few weeks. I started working again. He will go back in 3 weeks and meet some friends and then travel alone for about month or 6 weeks. Things between us are not good. He is distant and frustrated with me. I know what he thinks. He thinks I am weak. We don't even have sex anymore. I just wish I could be as strong as he us. I wish I could be be more. I also fear how we will end up if he leaves and the situation is like this. I fear I might lose my husband. I don't know what to do. Do you have any insight? Thanks!
