I have this friend who will be 30 this year. He's been with this woman for a couple years now, they live together and they are happy. He recently said he was planning to propose to her, but learned that she has no intentions of ever getting married (not just to him, but in general). He's heartbroken, but they still live together. My best friend has a friend who has been with her husband for 7 years and has been married to him for almost a year. She just found out that he never wants kids, although she does. Why don't people talk about these things early on? I'm engaged and I learned on the 4th or 5th date that both my fiance and I want to have kids. In order to get married at our church, you have to have pre-marital counseling. We're realizing how much needs to be discussed before making that commitment to each other. Why don't more people consider this? It doesn't even have to be religious thing, just talk about things like kids and whether you both want marriage and if you expect to live together and who will do what chores, etc.

Me and my wife are watching We Are Marshall it's been our favorite movie since we were kids but it makes us cry every time especially her. We're in Ohio not far from Hunnington WV we never been to Marshall University but I like to go there we drove through there a bunch of times. We got lots of friends and family from West Virginia. The first time I saw this movie I thought about going to college there but I decided not to go to college for personal reasons it's too far also other reasons. I was 9 when this movie came out she was 13 her grandma took us to the movies to see it. Even now 10 years later as an adult it's made me sad because of this and 9/11 is why I'm scared to go on airplanes she is too. Is it ok to cry in front of her ?

My wife and I were watching Slenderman she loves scary movies but sometimes it gets too much for her. If I remember I think Slenderman was based on a true story I don't know the whole story behind it. Also she's 6 months pregnant which will make her even more crazy. How can I comfort her ?

My son complains of feeling high from the smoke / I can see her husband is very uncomfortable. She keeps all the windows in her room closed to trap the smoke. She's a horrible person that spends her time trying to find ways to hurt people maliciously. It's their house but we've lived here for 13 years paying for all. She's lived here for 2. She wasted through millions of her husband's money then came here. She harrassed her husband until he snapped 2 years ago. Had him tackled in his own front yard by the cops/sent him away to be drugged. Now he's just moved in with us. She's started in on him again. She's broke so pulled him out of the facility to take all of the rest of his income. He's heavily sedated. Is there anything I can do to have her removed since she isn't doing this as an accident? We've asked her to stop but she says no and starts up whenever she knows it will hurt us most and sits around acting smug and happy that it's bothering us. My husband also has mental issues thanks to her abuse. No help just screams, breaks and throws things, slams doors, verbally abuses everyone. House is full now so my husband sleeps on the couch so she harasses him all night won't let him sleep. We would all be happier if she was forced to leave somehow and better yet if our FIL could keep his own money? He's cool we'd like to help him. Is there any sort of legal thing we can do? We can't afford to leave or we wouldn't have to worry about it at all.

IMPORTANT!! I have an assignment due in my online class that involves asking married couples question to gain a deeper understanding of the joys and struggles of marriage but I literally don't know any married couples so I'm begging the internet for some help! Brief description of when and where they met, the engagement period, and a short overview of their married years. (where they lived, career, children etc) What qualities in each partner were important in the relationship over the years? What were some of the most difficult challenges they faced and how did the handle these? What role did spirituality and faith play in their marriage? What advice do they have to offer to couples getting married today? They are asking for couples that have married 10-30 years!!

I have been talking to a guy, we're both from Pakistan so arranged marriages are very common in our culture.So we were introduced through families, and he actually lives in Pakistan in a small town and we video chat every day for the past month, I am not in a rush to get married and am still testing the waters to see how things go with him and of course to get to know him more, he is very interested in me about marriage and very serious as well…and he seems like a nice guy with good values. We have been talking for about a month. But yesterday, we were talking on the phone and he started talking about kids and then he said that HE HAS ALREADY THOUGHT OF NAMES FOR THE KIDS and that that's what we will name them. Now, to be honest I was a little offended by this, as the potential MOTHER of those future kids. And I did oppose this by asking him doesn't the mother have the right too? And he didn't say much… I was in shock in the moment and still processing he said something like. I mean he didn't even consider that I would be their mother and that my opinion should matter. Another thing, Pakistani men tend to believe that they are superior to women and that their opinions don't matter, I am having the feeling that he might not treat me as an equal in any decision making after we get married. And husband and wife being equal is extremely important to me and most definitely the foundation of any marriage. So, now the question is what should I do or say to him?

Get over him. He was abusive we were young and everyone thought he "creepy" looked like a pedo" doesnt trust him. It wasnt the most healthy relationship but ive been through hell and back and hes inspired me in so many ways. Im still not over him abd havent dated in five years since we broke up because no one makes me feel the way he did. Its not the stereotypical highschool puppy love and i dont like anyone and mostly stay to myself. Sometimes id rather be dead then imagine him not in my future after my son grows up and leaves. What do i do

I'm female and one of my classmates recently asked me first, "do you have children?" I said no and then she asked, "are you married?" Why ask these? I told her no and that I enjoy being single.

Everyday I used to go to work be happy work hard. Now I'm unemployed, my husband left me, I do drugs, alcohol. And all my friends don't even want to be seen with me. It all started when I hooked up with this gang leader, who encouraged me to "pose for pics" and smoke weed. Now I'm living on handouts. How to get back all I lost?

Would you say you find your partner much much more annoying as you love them more over time? Or would you say that you accept their flaws and found their annoying features more endearing and understandable with time? Basically more annoying or less annoying.

My husband and I moved from Nashville 2 years ago to Florida. We've been reconsidering a move back to Nashville as my husband was offered a transfer back and offered about 1500 more per month then what he's making now. We went back to Nashville for the week this week and it didn't feel the same. We don't have family in Nashville anymore, we have very few friends left in the area. It just didn't feel right. I couldn't wait to get back to Florida. I feel very settled in Florida. We have great friends, great doctors, a nice comfortable home by the beach. The issue is income. It's not paying here and we are struggling to make ends meat. We are living on both our paychecks and savings. If it wasn't for our savings we wouldn't be able to live here to be honest. I'm worried eventually our savings will run dry. I've even considered a serving job at night to help us out. I'm so torn. I love where we are living but there's little industry here. Any advice? My husband wants to take the transfer. This would leave me unemployed as I'd have to leave my current job.

Marriage? I am getting re married. My first marriage was annulled. We got along well and loved each other but for various reasons i had it annulled. She was a princess and a lady and so of course was a virgin when we married. There are two women I'm seeing now and love both of them. One is a lady(virgin) well educated and well mannered and of the ancient and higher nobility like my family. She does not have considerable assets like I do, and will not inherit much down the road. The other Women is not a lady and has had a few ex lovers....she calls them boyfriends(a term people in my culture in Europe do not even use..only wife, lover, and mistress) but her father and uncle are offering me a large dowry to marry and elevate their daughter socially. Y lifestyle would. Ot change any bc I have wealth already but I think it's important to consider these things for our children's future and their children's future. If you loved both equally who would you choos to marry Sexual enthusiasm is not an issue. The young women and I have great sex all the time, and the young lady certainly wants to have sex with me very badly. She just can't unless we sign a marriage co react at least first. This was not a issue with my first wife either. I'm talking about what's best for us and our family long term..down the generations. My family is a thousand years old and I want us to be still be thriving in another thousand

My fiancé was dancing on another woman in the lounge as I was coming back from the bathroom. After I seen that I immediately beat him up.

Tonight for instance. He woke me up because he was drunk playing PlayStation online. I was mad because I worked a long week and my only day off is tomorrow. I told him he needs to be quiet and I've told him in the past so it's nothing new. He kept making jokes and I became pissed. It led to me trying to get sleep in the living room and he coming in there bugging me asking why I'm so mad. Of course I became more mad and and he decided to bring his PlayStation into the living room so I can go back in the bedroom but then he follows me and bugs me more after I told him to leave me alone. It escalated and he kept yelling and I began to cry telling him just to leave me alone. Finally he does and he's been talking to his friends for 2 hours online about he's in the right and doesn't know what he's done. This behavior is nothing new but I'm getting tired of it. Tired of him never seeing his faults and I've tried and tried to talk to him before about it after we're not fighting and it doesn't seem to help. What can I do?

We were due to get married in three months. She's always been doing all the planning and the talking. I've never much expressed how I felt, until tonight. Tonight I told her I'm not the man I need to be yet. See I'm shipping out to basic training a few days after we were planning to get married. Right now im in no position to support her monetarily and mentally. I've still got some growing up to do and I'd like to wait until after I finish all my training. After then, I'm confident I'll be the man I need myself to be. Am I in the wrong here?

My boyfriend said that I need to take a day off from work and to focus on him as well for me to rest. I'm very busy and the only time I really rest or take time for our relationship is the weekend. During the week we talk on the phone. Anyways because I didn't want to take the day off last week (I had a meeting) he says we are no longer together. That I couldn't do this one thing for him. I find it ridiculous. Why do I have to take off when he asks me too. There was no discussion of what he wanted to do if I took that day off. I just assumed me being alone at home. Now, he says it's over and it was a test to see what do I care more about him or my job.

Please be honest and answer.. How many times do you have sex in a week or a month.. I'm married for 11 years and for the last 7 years it's like twice a month and recently it's once a month. I need to know if this is normal or do I have to make my husband see a doctor.. I'm really tired and depressed
