This is for an assignment for class but also something in curious about in my personal life. My husband is a great provider but I feel he should also do more where as people think that's asking too much of him. He makes enough to save and pay all of our bills. However to me he should also do housework and take care of the kids. He provides takes care of the kids and cleans the house with them as well along with taking care of the dogs (6) and he backs and front yard. I do the dishes and fold the kids clothes. We both cook he cooks a little more then me. Am I asking for too much ? Is there an imbalance or are we ok? I know he gets annoyed at times and says he does as much as he does to shut me up (I complained a lot in the past) and I give him a hard time about being a provider and a bad dad when I get mad (I know he's not my mistakes )

Says he will smack her in front of him

I know many men blame feminism, but I think the truth is the long term dating culture introduced by Hollywood. Women are brainwashed into thinking that living together without marriage is completely fine, which evades any legal responsibility towards each other. When men were expected to marry, they were motivated to find a stable job or income to start a family. Now they can get free relationships with no responsibility, they are happy working minimum wage jobs and starting their college education at a much older age like 28/29 and career at 32/33. Western women I hope you read this and know that encouraging long term relationships mean less and less men will marry less families and more unemployment and underemployment and your country's economy will go down in drain.

My husband has been on dialysis for 3 years now and the longer he is on it, the lower his sex drive is. I'm trying to be a supportive wife but it has been 4 months since we have last have been intimate. Although it should not bother me because i know his disease and treatment are the cause of his low sex drive it does make me feel unwanted and as if i dont excite him. HELP

There's a guy I met on a chatting app. When we first met he told me he was single. I found out he was married because I searched him on Facebook and I saw him with his wife and son. I've gotten a few nasty texts from his wife saying to stop texting him. One time his wife and me called on the phone and she told me he's been telling everyone that he is single. Then she said once a cheater always a cheater and she told me to be careful. But this guy is telling me that she's a big ***** and she controls him and she argues with him about everything. He told me today that he got tested for std because he thinks she cheated on him. He tells me she's just nothing but drama and hes gonna leave her. He told me today he's already filling out divorce papers and he has a legal advisor. This guy and me have been talking for almost a year and I'm not sure if he's actually in the divorce process now or if he's lying. He told me I'd be good at helping to take care of his son. He said he likes me and he talks about us living together. Should I trust him ?

I have never expressly said to my wife that I do not like her family. However, when they are around or we visit them, I am stressed out and on edge because I don't like her family and I don't want to be there. Is there anything that I can do to improve this situation?

I honestly don't think most romantic couples feel completely comfortable around each other. I mean most romantic couples do not like changing clothes in front of each other, and they don't like to shower together, and they don't like sleeping in the same bed together. So when most romantic couples have sex, they are most likely very uncomfortable during the whole experience. So that's a reason why romantic love is not special at all. Also a reason why many women are comfortable getting naked and changing their clothes in front of platonic male friends is because they are comfortable being naked around them since they don't see them as anything sexual, it's also another reason why they are have no problem sleeping in the same bed as them. So a woman getting naked and changing her clothes in front of a man and sleeping in the same bed as him is a very friend-zoney thing to do since that means she doesn't see him as anything sexual.

Why is it that you are told to break up with someone who hurts you (emotionally) but then people say marriage is good and bad and you have to work at it every day because it can be ugly. I take it your spouse can hurt you. So how is there a difference between someone you ve been with and someone you re married to hurting you?

Some 4 or 5 years ago I found out that my husband had cheated on me with a girl he met online. He said it was one time and we went to several counselors to get past it. Even though I was able to handle it I'm not fully over it. Today he comes home from work and while in the kitchen fixing dinner he gets a text message on his phone. It wasn't from one of his friends because he has an app on his phone that announces who is texting. This text message just spoke the number. I was standing there and heard it so I looked at him. He had his back turned to me and then he walked and grabbed his phone. Checked the message and put the phone down. My next question to him was, "oh, so we're going to start this again?" He looks at me and gets angry because he said I was bringing up 5 year old drama for no reason. We argue for about 20 minutes because he wouldn't tell me who it was who text him. He then said something that really angered me. For a few weeks now we've been planning to go on another cruise and he was going to pay the deposit in a few weeks to lock in our price. He told me that we I forget the cruise because he wasn't about to pay anything when I still felt like he was up to no good. I've been looking forward to going on this vacation but I can't seem to get past knowing who it was that text him. He said that after several counselors and 5 years of nothing I should be to the point to where he could get a text from a non contact and I not worry about it. He said that if I couldn't handle it then we don't need to be going on a vacation. He's apologized countless times and said he's not going to keep apologizing for something that happened 5 years ago. Is he right? Was I wrong? I know my husband. When he says he's not going to do something he doesn't do it. So now we're out a vacation because my radar went up. But I feel I am right in this. Several months ago he had an update to his phone and it now requires him to have a pass code on it because he has the bio metric fingerprint scanner on several apps on his phone. His banking app and his Samsung Pay app. I find that suspicious because he said that if he removes the pass code his phone will wipe out the fingerprint settings on his phone and he won't give me the pass code. Not that I'm going to go snooping but I just find that strange too.

In my 30s, have 2 young kids and 1 on the way. We recently had a financial crisis and it devastated us. We should be over this in a couple of months. My company didn't have a great year and my brain goes to negative thoughts. I know this is out of control but I am a great employee and make a decent salary. I'm just scared to lose it. I know we will make it work, but everyday I think about negative things that could happen and it gives me anxiety and depress me. I have a masters degree and probably could get a job quick if something were to happen. I just can't get negative thoughts out of my head. I want to focus on my kids growing up, marriage, and a soon to be new born. Any advice appreciated.

So, Me and my Husband want to go out on a vacation. My mother live with us and she doesn t like to stay by herself at home. Does it make me a bad daughter if i tell her that she can not go with us? Another thing that i wanted to mention. She always say that she wants to go with us and i fill that me and him need our space. She is not even old. She is 54 years old.

My son is almost a teenager and hates his stepdad. The other day, he lied to his psychiatrist and told her my husband put him in a chokehold when he did not and admitted that he "dreamed this"- the dr took it for word and reported that "childs stepdad puts him in chokeholds and uses force on him" and cps came to my door. My son has mental issues and has been in the mental hosp. the new dr is no good and refuses to believe the other dr's diagnoses and claims my son has nothing wrong despite evidence to the contrary. My son has made another false report last year and my husband has said that my son (prev marriage) is not allowed in our home due to "safety and liability issues" (the kid has also broken one of his bros legs and got us kicked out of places and banned for life). His parents have also banned my son from their home because the cps report also mentioned my husbands dad as a possible abuser I think. Should my husband be allowed to ban my son from our home and pawn him off on my disabled mom? He is afraid because of the now 2 false reports my son has made. He can convince anyone of anything with his mental illness. My husband said divorce is "not allowed" (he is a bible thumper) and "will never happen and that I WILL choose my son or him"- I had my son BEFORE i married him and had more kids with him he did get my husband thrown in jail last year for a night for saying he assaulted him years ago. it was dismissed

It just doesn't feel good. I'm not talking about the size. His size is average, he could make me feel good but he's very lazy and isn't open about different positions. I want it hard and fast but he can't keep up. He run out of energy to fast. I want to cheat but I'm holding myself back because I don't want to hurt him. What do I do? I'm frustrated, moody and angry. How do I release this tension?

The decision is made. He hurt my children. She can have him.

I remained good friends with my ex wife's mom and dad after the divorce and she was OK with that. Her mom and dad called me to invite me over dinner. I gladly accepted as her mom is a great cook. After dinner they told me my ex wife was getting married again and told me who the guy was. They really disliked him and did not want her to marry him. I had to agree with them that in my opinion, the guy is a bum. He is 28 years old, lived with his parents and has never had a job in his life. He is a high school drop out. They told me their daughter would not listen to them but she greatly respected my opinion and asked me to talk to her out of marrying this guy. What is so unexplainable is that she likes expensive jewelry, luxury cars, and the latest in fashion clothes. All of these things are expensive. I am conflicted about this. Even though I would like to help my ex wife as a friend in this situation, I don't think I should be telling her who she should marry. Please let me have your thoughts on what I should do. Ladies, I would really like you input. I don't plan to talk to her unless she ask for my advice. Even then I am not sure what I should say. Is my staying out of this the right thing to do?

On the seat because I hate when I find out when I seat on the seat please and I know Im not the only mom who struggles with this please help because I hate it when I find out there is some pee left on the seat

So my son is 25 and graduated with a finance degree. I asked what his plans are and he says his work plans and then he talks about how he wants to donate sperm and never get married because of the laws. Should i be worried?

I absolutely support my wife's decision to be barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen! I have no say in this, I just follow what she wants.

I have tried to cope but we have nothing in common and he is a mush mind from years of beer and TV...

I could stay in the house for a year without speaking to anyone and would be okay with it. I enjoy my husband being around but if he wants to take off I am fine with him doing it without me since I don't care for the company of others. He, on the other hand is much more social. If we get invited to party I prefer to stay home. I go to church but only to the service but he wants to hand out with people there. We have similar interests like the gym and outdoors but when it comes to people, I tend to not have interest in mingling, while he does. Insight please.

My wife loves to lay in bed and cuddle all night. Why ?
