was he a man your hubby knows?

Long story short, ive been friends with this amazing guy for a few years. last year he decided to divorce wife due to ongoing issues theyve had. Shortly after we realized how much we got a long and started dating. It has been almost a year now and he is in a full on custody battle with his ex. She is very vengeful and thinks he had been cheating for a long time with me once she found out we were dating. She is crazy... i mean it. She hired a private investigator to follow my boyfriend and even put a gos tracker on his truck so she could see where he was going. She is furious if i hang out with my boyfriend and their son is there. His son is three, we make it clear we are friends only in front of him not to confuse him yet. We all go out and have fun on walks etc. We are not fb official due to her being crazy about the whole divorce we have been super low key with only close family and friends nowing were dating. We hide any personal information from his son ( his idea) as he doesnt want him going back to his mom and saying something. So i feel so awkward when his son is there, i feel like i dont belong and have to watch everything i say... i love my boyfriend dearly.. i just was wondering if anyone else has ever been in this situation.... thank you

So, I will admit that I am a little closed minded when it comes to drinking. My grandfather was a drinker and used to drive drunk with my mother in the back seat when she was growing up, so she was always a stickler when it came to alcohol when I was growing up. My husband has never been a drinker since I met him because he knows I don't really like it. He comes from a family of alcoholics and depression runs in his family as well. He does get depressed very easily. His stepfather is also an alcoholic and has been to rehab at least 3 times since I've known him. Lately, my husbands mother I guess has given up on her husbands recovery from alcoholism and is now drinking all the time and encourages my husband to drink. He told her that I don't like him drinking but she still tells him to grab a beer anyways and he only seems to drink when encouraged. I have never seen my husband drunk however im worried that he is going to start drinking more and more if this encouragement continues and I don't think it's a good idea with his depression. Am I being too dramatic or judgmental about this? If not, how do I handle this situation without causing problems with my mother in law?

I'm talking about a relationship with comingled funds, not just a casual relationship.

Is there something a man can do to build a memory with a woman that will burn in her heart and mind so intensely that she would always remember it to the effect that if/when she left that memory might convince her of the real true love he had/has for her?

My and my husband have been together almost years married almost 1 year. My husband has bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. He normally handles it really well but sense I've become pregnant I bug him alot and wont leave him alone. We were arguing 3 days ago and he stopped talking and said he just wanted to sleep. But pregnant me kept crying, bothering him and pulling the blankets begging him to talk to me. He snapped and yelled at me and told me to get out of the house because I'm annoying. He told me pack bags because he doesn't want to live with me anymore. I have apologized but he's still mad. He said we're still together but he doesn't want to live with me ever again. I dont want to bother him anymore so I think it would be best for me to move out permanently. So my question is, can we still be married and have our (first) baby if we dont live together.

My ex-husband and I have been separated since 2015, divorced since 2018. I was in RN school, we had 4 kids (his-14, mine-12/17, and ours-5), and I worked full time as an LVN. Of course it was hard to make time for him so that was a huge issue. Kids, play sports, etc... He also lied to me constantly about finances a lot. For example saying a bill was paid when in fact it was not. Fast forward to I'm now graduated and working as an RN. I have not had a relationship with anyone since the divorce mainly because never had time. I miss my family. Even though he wasn't my older kids biological father, they know him as dad. It's hard because every time we try to spend time together it always ends up with us arguing and me feeling like this isn't how it's supposed to be. I feel like he complicates my life instead of making it better. At times I think I'm selfish because my kids come first and they want us together because their dad is more stable when we are together. They miss having their family. The ex has done some crazy things since our separation which led to our divorce. He has done a lot to me in the past. He has attempted suicide, tried to tell my nursing instructors that I still medication, posted things on fb using a fake profile about me being pregnant or giving good blowjobs then tagged my family and work. The 7 years we were together he never did anything crazy, only the lies. I know they want things to go back to normal..but can they?

My husband and I got into a fight when I went home for lunch. In the end of our argument he said, "I should just kill myself." I'm afraid to leave our kids home with him when he says things like that. You hear stories about parents killing their kids all the time. He never said anything about hurting them but still. Any input?

I'm curious. If it was a civilized and mutually agreed divorce between a couple. Do they still love each other indirectly?

We have kids, high school

My wife said something that made me never want to make love to her again

My anniversary is coming up an I am at a loss as to what I should get my wife. She doesn't wear jewelry and is not a huge fan of flowers. I want to get her something but it is just to hard to shop for her. Any ideas would be more than welcomed. Also she works in the medicals field so if you think of anything she can use out there that would be awesome as well.

I was told by my mother that it's not only the man's fault if he becomes unfaithful. She says that there's a reason why a man cheats or seeks comfort in other women (gives example about not feeling affection from wife, children, etc). And that the whole family has a responsibility with one another to make sure that no one, for lack of a better term, goes astray.

She's fallen out of love with him, but stuck in not being able to leave him, least not right now. Have two children together. We met on accident, neither looking for anything, but found each other and everything came so easy. I know they sleep together, not just in the same bed. It's not all the time, and she avoids it as much as possible, but there is sex. She says she can't fully avoid it because it's a 'marital debt'. To me, it's not just sex, not just a marital debt. He uses it, almost as if it is a ransom payment of sorts... She hates it, it breaks her more and more every time, and I don't know how she can put herself through it. He doesn't care, just wants what he wants. Am I wrong to be upset by this? Am I wrong to stick through it? I feel she and I are meant to be. We both have extremely deep feelings for one another, but this dynamic in her current situation is really taking a toll on me :(

My husband and I have been married for 46 years. We have 6 grown children. Last year my husband announced he was planning to retire. After he announced his retirement last year he hit the bottle hard. He's never in his life drank alcohol since I've known him. In the past year he's gotten 4 DUI's and lost his license. He's officially retiring next Friday is his last day of work. He told me 3 weeks ago he wants a divorce and plans to move out by Friday when he retires. He has apparently also been talking to a relator behind my back as I recently discovered paperwork to put the house up for sale. He has also cut all communication with our children for the past month. I'm devastated I have no idea what to do. I never in my entire life expected this! Any advice?

Lately we have been like ships in the night because I work night shift and she works day shift. We share the role of caring for our son. I would come home and let her sleep in by taking our son until midday. He is only 1 years old. Her father lives with us and will take care of our son in the afternoon. So we haven't had sex in almost 2 months and she pointed that out the other day. I have taken matters into my own hands literally and since we were not communicating, I just left it at that. I have tried to talk to her in the morning but she either tells me to shut up or stays getting angry at whatever I'm doing eg. Accuse me of being cruel by holding down our son when I need to change his nappy. So the past few days she keeps asking who is my sex partner. I'm getting fed up with that. I have just been working and studying to support the family! I found it comfortable enough to get lost in my own world. For years my wife has acted like part of her life is secret. Blocks me on her social media so I can't see what she is posting. This leaves me feeling I'm not worth as much as her friends and family. What can I do? I've been living in an affectionless marriage for years. She refuses to kiss me and never approaches me to hug me or say she appreciates me. I gave up on having the chance to experience a normal relationship spending 10 years with my wife. I'm 36 and we have a child.

i had an affair w a man in 2014-2015 who i met at work. and we have been friends since we broke up, which was my idea. After I quit my job a month ago, i still message him on facebook and we have met for lunch a couple times , and i bring her 3 yr old daugther. am i cheating my husband ? he does not know me and the other guy talk on facebook or meet for lunch.

My parents invited my husband and I for a week's vacation at my parents' lake cabin. My husband has kids from a previous marriage and they are super excited. We invited husband's parents to come for a few days too, and since there aren't quite enough bedrooms we suggested they rent a hotel nearby. Instead they are renting a $5000/week cabin on a nearby lake. I overheard my mother in law tell my husband that she expects my husband and his kids to stay with them at their rental house instead of at my parent's cabin. My husband said the kids can stay with them if they want but he would be staying with me at my parents cabin. I thought it was strange and she didnt mention me. Wad that inappropriate and why do you think she said thar?

Ok we have joint custody he being primary parent he has in our divorce papers he can't move out of state without my say so Well he has treated me to move to north Carolina and he knows I don't drive and have no one who would be willing to take me plus I have 3 other kids he's mad over pictures that are a year old but yet he has naked pictures of other women in his phone which are also a year old plus he has old girlfriends as Well and he's mad at me for having numbers in my phone of ppl I haven't spoken to in years and they have even confirmed that I was telling the truth and he still doesn't believe me but yet he had sex with me last night and even asked me to marry him he wants to bring up old stuff that happen years ago when we wasn't even together

So tonight we ( me and my husband) got into a fight and I ended up staying at my parents house and then he messaged me telling me to come home (which he never does) so I go home and we have sex but he didn't want to change positions and after I finished he stopped and made an excuse that the beds gonna get dirty cause of my period( we always **** on the bed on my period) why didn't he wanna *** it's really weird.

I've been married to my husband for about 2.5 years. He's a great husband in every way except when it comes to the bedroom. So here's a little background - things were a bit better before we had our baby, but as of 10 months ago things changed for the worse. For some reason, he never wants to get physical with me ever since we had our baby.

My sister's wedding is coming up and I am in desperate need of finding someone to go with me. All of my friends are busy and the only friend who was gonna go with me got injured and so now he can't. I've been looking on sites that are called friend for hire websites and so far it hasn't worked out. I got turned down by one girl and three other girls from that website ignored my calls. I don't know where to go to get a wedding date. Where can I go to find a escort who can go to a wedding with me ?

My stepfather raised me from a child all the way to when I was 18. I'm 19 now and last year my mom and stepdad separated. He was always a great guy to me and helped me out with everything, cared a lot. But after the divorce, my mom informed me that she found out he was searching for "red head stepchild pornography". This is very specific and it disturbed me quite a bit. I'm bothered by it, but he's still always been my stepdad and never tried to make any sexual advances toward me. I've been wanting to still hang out with him, despite everyone else saying it's too risky. What should I do?
