When I started dating my husband, I had a fantastic relationship with my mother in law. I'd sometimes even pick her up and bring her over to cook and chit chat with her for hours on end. Fast forward to 3 years and I got married and had a baby, and my MiL didn't seem to want to be part of anything. So I started becoming distant too after countless times of her selling me out. One day she got fed up I guess and started talking bad about me to my husband while I was right in the next room with the door wide open (and her knowing the door was open). I didn't say anything and waited till she left. My husband spoke to her and told her she needed to chill. I told him I needed an apology from her. Now after 4 months he told me today she's coming over tomorrow to see my 9 month old daughter. It's so awkward for me, especially after hearing everything she said about me. What should I do?

I get a vibe from my in-laws that they think I am superfluous. It's a sense of "yeah, you are here and all, but we think you really have no power and we just pay attention like you are a lost puppy because we're nice." I have done a number of things in my life and have a good number of accomplishments. And it's not like my in laws are wealthy, but rather just smart people. Maybe I am paranoid but sometimes I think my wife has the same vibe about me when we visit her parents. What should I do?

He says he will work and take extra hours and that i dont have to work as much or i can take two part time jobs. He doesnt want me to get so hurt.. these are his words " I just don't want you being too tired or damaging your body, I don't want you getting hurt. I'd rather see you happy and not forced to do something you don't want to do, you're gonna be my wife and you mean a lot to me" I work in a factory right now and its a lot on my body i am not used to and i really hate it but am also grateful at the same time for the pay and insurance. I come home with a sore back, wake up with numb fingers, everything hurts. I rather get a job with shorter hours but still full time just not 10 hours a day. What should I do listen to my fiancé or still work this full time job and keep coming home in much pain after we get married? He works the same job so I can get on the insurance Plan next year with him

My husband and I have been married for over a year and half. Ever since we have been renting out the basement at his sister's house. I was never comfortable and never felt at home. For example the laundry room is right in front of our bedroom, I can't tell you how many times, his sister husband has walked down and saw me in underwear, to use the kitchen I have to wait for them to finish because they have kids and they need to get them to bed, I can't buy a lot of food because we only get on shelve on the fridge, it's many little things that after a year and half it's driving me crazy. I always liked to have my space and my privacy that's the person I am and I feel like being married and not having our own place it's very frustrating. My husband understand but doesn't seem too interested in moving out. There's always something, we need more money, we need better credit, we need to wait for the market to go down. The last straw was his sister got an aupair, so now there's 7 people living in this house, it's one more person coming downstairs to do laundry and I'm at a point that it's making me question my marriage because I'm so depressed at this house, I spent the entire day working and was happy and all, as soon as I walked through the door, I started to get depressed and negative and I feel that it's hurting my mental health. Am I wrong here? Am I the only one that think that couples should have their own place and be by themselves in the beginning of their marriage?

I am Muslim and so is my wife. But I am not practising and don't really do much. My wife is very devout, wears a hijab, prays regularly, talked to me about how she wants to raise our children i.e. as devout muslims unlike me etc. But one thing that she has always given me a lot of leeway is entertaining out my sexual desires. Like on the first day we, I told her I really wanted to eat her out, anally. She was ofcourse totally shocked, but she was like, well i dont think its haram so I guess you can do it. And eventually we moved on and now do golden showers, poo play, fisting, imaginary gangbangs with dildos, spanking and biting, choking during orgasms and she has basically been ok with all of it. She doesnt show much emotion when we are together sexually except if something hurts at which point she may proclaim that she is in pain but then lets me keep going afterwards. The place she draws the line is anal and swallowing, because she says those are haram and completely denied allowing me to do it. i am a bit worried she may just be doing this for me without being comfortable with it. How can I make sure that she wants to do this? We've only been married for about 1.5 months so i dont want to risk it all. TL;DR: My wife may just be letting me do whatever I want sexually but I cant really tell if she is secretly subjecting herself to stress by doing so. How to find out?

He has been married for 5 years and i loved my daughter in law. Unfortunately he cheated on her and is living with this other woman. This woman is overweight like an elephant and doesn't suit my son. My son is a gorgeous boy that goes to the gym and looks after himself. How do i fix this, his ex wife and i are the dearest friends. She is angry at him, but still looks after me.

Him. Lately, I have noticed that he has been distant with me as well as just three weeks ago, he started going to Tijuana, Mexico with his friends. Ever since then, he's been going to Tijuana, Mexico and I know it for a fact because I have a GPS tracker on him but he of course denies it. He has also cheated on me in the past, but reason I gave him a son is because he wanted one and I thought it would change him. He is not only a cheater, but a mama's boy. He prioritizes his mom and siblings over me and our son, and his mom actually loves that. She tolerates it. And she even actually brought her son to Tijuana also. I am still in love with him, but don't think he is. What should I do? What should I do about our son? I really want me and my son and to be together since I'm the one who takes care of him most of the time while his father does what he wants to do. I am so lost and don't know what to do. I know it's time to divorce but is that really the only option? I don't think he will change anymore, sad to say.

Were you bored? Since there was no technology?

Is it her pride ? Or lost love, maybe ? Or she never loved him in the first place ? Of course each person is different etc and might have their own reason. But im just trying to figure out why my ex wife behaved the way she did, cutting all ties, destroying all memories, and building new ones on top of the rubble. Thanks.

My husband and i separated 2years ago. (Not legally ) during that time he had a girlfriend , i moved out i had a boyfriend. I got pregnant with my son, when i was around 5month pregnant we broke up, and i went back to my husband. My husband and his family knows the situation & knows my son isn't his son. I know that if i have a baby during my Marriage legally my son is my husbands son, but i put my sons biological father on child support a few months after birth, which acknowledges paternity. I've sogned no waivers affidavits etc. at this point who is legally the father of my son?

My wife and I are, for the most part, good partners in raising our children. We have very similar values that we wish to impart to our children and she is a very good mom. We do have different parenting methods, but we manage to work out compromises for when we disagree. There is one area I think needs work. When we visit her parents, it seems she does not want to let me parent our children. For example, last her sister noticed a scratch on the face of one of our sons. Her sister was standing with my son across the room from my wife and me. She started to take my son to the bathroom to treat the scratch. I said to my wife that I would take care of the scratch. My wife said "no, let my sister do that." Another time, one of my sons wasn't doing something right at the dinner table and her brother was telling him what to do. I again stepped in to help my son and my wife again told me to stop. When I confronted her about this, my wife mumbled something about my son needing to listen to his uncle. I think my parental authority is being compromised and her family is not going to respect me as a parent. What is going on here and what do I do about it? If my wife isn't going to let me parent when we visit her family, why should I even bother going to visit her family?

I'm married, have 2 toddlers and a new baby on the way. This should be the best time of my life and emotionally for me, it's not. I will say I am a great dad and spend a lot of time with the kids. However, Im worried about things constantly. We live in a smaller home and it will soon be 5 of us. We can't afford to move. I worry about the schools around us as well. My wife says all is well and it's not like we are living on the streets. I know buying a new home is about 5 years away. I just want the best for the family. I think about this all the time in a negative way. As I am explaining this it's not bad compared to many others. I just don't know how to get out of this and look at the positive. Any advice or life experiences?

Me and my wife saw a marriage counselor and ever since things got even worst, I said the only reason I'm always stressed is because I'm trying to provide for my family...I guess my wife took it the wrong way and ever since that day everything has changed, she is way to distance from and me and doesn't want to bother me with any issues she has...what do I do?

My wife has had a rough year with her family so far. Her cousin died last month from the flu and possibly cardiac arrest they never knew what happened to her but she was pregnant with her second baby. Then a week after that her grandpa had died a few weeks ago her aunt had a seizure and car accident along with it she's ok but she's not getting any better. My wife is really upset and scared she said she's ready for this year to be over she hope's it goes by quickly. She's also pregnant with our 3rd baby she's kind of has emotional problems right now. How can I comfort her ?
