Last week I was released from a mental ward after I tried to kill myself. I took a bottle of Vicodins but my husband found me and saved me. Long story short is that I got married to my rapist when I was 12 years old. I have 5 kids, my oldest is 21 and youngest is 10. I am in my 30s but I feel like my life is over for me. I can't take it anymore. I don't want to live in misery anymore. My husband forces me to have sex with at least 5 guys a day. We are from Palestine and this is normal for men to control us. I live in California and I know my rights here since I'm America citizen and my husband's not but I can't leave him because of my culture. The police got involved many times before and they tried getting me help but I refused so please don't tell me to leave him because I won't ever do that. Isn't around 20 vicodins supposed to kill me right away? I am in so much pain now because of the aftermath of those pills, my stomach still hurts and I sleep all day and stay awake at night. I can't get out of bed. Because of me spending 3 days in a mental ward does that mean it will go on my record? If so can I erase it from my record if I get a good lawyer? Also if I ever try to purchase a fire arm will I not be able to do so because of my attempted suicide? Thank you for your time

said "It's a place she wouldn't approve of" ....Later in the car I asked my bf "If you knew I would not like it why did you go?"...I also asked "If your friends invited you to a strip club would you go?" He replied: "It's a restaurant! You can't compare a restaurant to a strip club. When I turned 21 my brother took me to one and when my friend had a party at one I went, but I am not into them anymore and that was before we started dating." I asked "What if your friends pressured you and made fun of you for saying no to going to one?" My bf got mad and said "What do you think I'm so easily influenced? At the end of the day if I really want to do something I will do it whether you like it or not. I already told you I'm not into strip clubs anymore" SHOULD I BE OFFENDED? I don't trust his low life friends he went to a restaurant like Hooters He said he doesn't do certain things because he chooses not to. And he said he wouldn't do anything illegal or stupid"

He claims the calls are "normal" in nature, such as asking about life or family, but why does someone you work with need to call you weekly or biweekly to discuss this? He claims he's too busy at work to talk so they call in the off time. He says some are married and some are not. I can't say this isn't worrying me. Even if nothing is actively going on between them then he's allowing himself to be used as an emotional crutch or enjoys the attention. To be honest this has really broken me down today and I've been crying. When we spoke it didn't seem like he was open to changing this routine and claimed this is how it was before me, so why do I expect it to change with any sincerity. I feel lost with no resolution. Now I don't know if I can believe him even if he does say it'll change. I don't know what to do. Please help.

Is it taking back someone that left you a good idea? Say for example you still love them and think about them regularly, is it still a good to pursue it? I'm still in love with my ex and I think she wants to get back together. She broke up with me over two years ago and I think she left me for another guy. The break-up was the worst thing I ever went through, but it helped me get my life together and become who I am now. I'm in the best shape I've ever been in, I'm working towards the career I've always wanted, and motivated to explore new things, nothing like I was before. Anyway, I ran into her a few months ago through friends and she's been talking to me ever since. It's just been friendly and borderline awkward at times. Like she hasn't brought up anything that's happened, but she continuous to message me and want to keep talking. I still love her and don't know if it could work or not. I'm a completely different person than before so could it work?

My ex husband and I divorced in 2014.. we had a child together.. he gained full custody of her and he got remarried.. he kicked me out of their life completely and wouldn t let me see my daughter anytime I asked.. he was always so hateful until recently about 2 weeks ago he sent me pics of my daughter who is now 4 and even telling me about her when I ask him, tonight he just randomly sent me more pics of her and we are talking about letting me see her. What changed all of a sudden. The last 4 years him and his new wife haven t had anything to do with me and we re always so hateful. My daughter has no idea who I am. Why is he being nice all of a sudden?

.......her and the children?? Me personally I'll divorce, file a lawsuit against her, and I wouldn't care what happens to her and her kids afterwards. Goodbye. You screw me over, I'll screw you over 10 times greater.

So I'm English, married to a South African, living in America. I'm beyond miserable with him and am thinking of leaving. If I could (kids make it tricky) I'm wondering what benefits I might be able to get whilst I get on my feet? He wouldn't give me any money or support us in any way. I think I'm not entitled to benefits for three months after returning to England and my youngest is a toddler so I couldn't work for a while. Is there any way for me to get out and survive?

It started when some nosy jerk was sticking his nose in places it don't belong. He started telling everyone and her husband about us. Now everyone knows! How can I get everyone to forget?

It just seems like a foreign concept to me and sex looks so disgusting. I can't imagine getting that close to another person.

So my fiancé and me had an small arguement where we both were sad and the way he was talking it scared me and I said do you even want to marry me I just wanted reassurance and he got mad for me even saying that. Well a month later he broke our engsgment saying I sabotaged their relationship with being negative with experiencing things like the call of the void nightmares about crashing a car acting like I'm jealous when he's out with the guys or being a little quiet when I'm upset since I'm not an aggressive person I go quiet sometimes I guess I hope he understands but I've been working on being more open about things that upset me. But all these things he threw at me I was shocked

This is my husband's account he left it logged in on his phone he let me use it. Lately he's been having really strange dreams about my brother being kidnapped or being hurt. He and my brother are good friends they work together. Last night he dreamed he was kidnapped he said he came to him in his dream saying he needed him so he woke up saying he had to go see him it was after 2 in the morning knowing my brother I told him he probably be asleep he's not like most people he goes to bed at 7 every night. He's never had these kind of dreams I been with him for 4 years we been married for a month we have a daughter who's a week old. What's wrong with him ? Is this normal ? Also how can I comfort him ? He's got ADHD maybe that has something to do with it too

In modern times/2019/these days why is it still like this? Why is a woman considered worthless if she doesn't have kids?

The problem is sexless marriage . 4.5 years so far and I'm 28. My husband loves me and I love him and solving it is taking tooo long which is making it harder and harder ( more painful ) for me to continue waiting . We tried everything you can think of and it's still taking too long . I'm covering up my pain with junk food and drinking . I can't stop this mess unless I break up the marriage . That's the only way I know the pain will go away and will finally stop eatting junk food and start losing weight and getting fit but I'm too scared to break up the marriage because all I'm losing is a strong friendship and I do t have the cofidents to break it . Any ideas how to stop emotional eatting other then breaking the marriage ?

My husband and his ex have been divorced for appx 5 years. His son is 11 and his daughter is 9. My husband and I have been together for appx 3 years. When I first entered the picture the kids would come over and say hello at sporting events. Usually they went back and forth between us and and their mom. Lately, though, when my husband comes to see them play they won't even acknowledge him. They sit stonewalled with their mom and won't make eye contact or speak unless my husband goes to them and forces conversation. Even then it's a mumbled "hey" .If he tries to hug them they just sit there looking around or down like he isn't there. When the game is over they Walk to the exit without a wave or a word. My husband has adjusted his work schedule to be at all their events and attend everything they have. He has always tried to take as much time as possible to be where they are so he can see them a little longer. He doesn't understand why they are acting like this. He asked them if there was a reason for this behavior and they just shrug and say "I don't know". He asked them if anyone had told them not to speak to him or us and they said "no". He said "maybe they just don't want me to come. Maybe they don't care if I'm here or not". Has anyone been through this or have any insight as to what may be going on with these kids and what should we do? It's hard to go week after week and be treated like you are a deadbeat dad when you aren't.

and I know some wont believe this, but, its mostly democratic women that burn my fingers. For some crazy reason the rubber doesn't melt. maybe the chemical reaction? how do you figure?

He is depressed and has mild bipolar and in his low he said he doesn't have those feelings for me. I said I appreciate that but its a choice and we should still mention it "fake it til you make it". He also says he not find me attractive (lost weight due to stress), and has been watch porn. :(

Since our child was born, it s been a shock to my husband. He feels these are the prime years of his life and doesn t want anymore since he s finding it difficult to cope with our present child. Before becoming pregnant I considered being childless but decided to compromise since he wanted children more than myself. I enjoyed having siblings and would have never imagined having one child. There would already be a 3year gap if I got pregnant now, and I always imagined having closely spaced children (if any). I think about it every day and try not to bring it up but I m becoming resentful. How do I become at peace with this? Especially when people ask if she's having a sibling, or encourage? What can I say especially when I agree with them? Telling them my husband doesn't want one feels like I'm betraying our marriage/trust.

I'm a thoughtful person. I put people first before mine. I put my brother and sisters wants before mine. I put my husband first before mine. I never asked for anything, but I do want things. I never asked coz of financial reasons not to my parents neither to my husband. But now since we're in a better situation(no kids, no debt), just us. I'm always the one that initiates to give this, give that, lets buy this because of that. What bout me? Whose thinking of what to give to me of what I actually like ? When my husband and I got engaged, he proposed with around 200 euro ring. I love it, we were students, we couldn't afford to more than that. We got married, small wedding, close family and friends. No honeymoon as we couldn't afford it. Now, that we're are both settled, great jobs. I've been speaking up, are you ever buying me a ring? Took 3 months before he did. We recently celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary, booked a hotel, spa for 2 with movie tickets and dinner course included and sight seeing. He complained that the spa didn't massage his foot. When we got back from our holidays. I found a foot massage for 2 at a very affordable price. Showed it to him, and he confessed, your Nanny gave him some cash to buy me a birthday present and he just had the greatest idea. We can use your birthday cash to that foot spa treatment for 2 as your birthday. I just got so upset that he couldn't even think of something that I would specifically like. Confessed that Im sad.

I never went through so much pain in my life since the divorce. It was devastating enough that she walked out on me, pretended to be upset for months and then filed for divorce. The whole process was uncivilized, unhumane, unrational and devastating. On top of that she ignores my calls, and if she answers its only to start a fight and act in an arrogant and childish manner. Yes we had issues, but all of them were due to her family, brothers and sisters interfering in our life on a daily basis; such as being rude, insulting me etc. One day i had enough when her brothers damaged my car, assaulted me and tried to convince her to packup and leave me. Anyway, this might sound as a naive question, was she cheating on me ? Was there someone behind the scene all along or was she in a hurry to find a shoulder to cry on and restart a new relationship ? She also blurted out all of our domestic life to everyone i know. Including some confidential things i told her about my life before meeting her. Why did she do it ?

So I DO want to have sex with my husband. But I don't. Like my mind would live to all the time, but my body doesn't. What can I do to fix this? I'd rather masterbate then sleep with him and even that seems like too much work most nights, unless I use a vibrator or watch porn. I've tried sleeping, relaxing, foreplay, fantasy board games, strapped to the bed, lubes, I'm over stressing about it which makes it worse.
