My classmate from elementary-high school is very wealthy now and she and her husband have a huge home and she nvr misses and opportunity to post her big home and pics of her 2 daughters, out buying them expensive things, on vacations almost every wkend and non stop pics of she and her succesful husband. Its almost sickening. She brags about the life they live and it looks like they are living the good life. She has a personal trainer, she and her husband attend top notch parties. Do you think ppl who post vids and pics like this are really happy or are they just showing off or could they really not be that happy. I'm married but legally separated. I am happy though that I'm no longer in that marriage, being a homeowner of a nice 4 bedrom house meant nothing to me if I was being abused. My 3 yr old son makes me happy enough and the thought of starting my (our) life over.

Our son graduated high school and I secretly got him one of the new BMW coupes as a gift because he really wanted one. My father also got me the car I wanted when I graduated so I don't see a issue. My wife and her parents however are upset because they think it was a dumb idea and should have let him work for his new car. Which I get because we were raised differently financially. But I can easily afford it for him so why not? Then she was upset because I didn't run it by her first but it came from MY money so I don't see a issue Does it make me a bad husband or parent?

She called me cheap and selfish because I refuse to buy a very expensive bag from Louis Vuitton. She's was getting real red on the inside.

My husband has a baby with someone he had an affair with. I am not comfortable with them speaking directly however he stil needs to be in his child's life. Does anyone know any apps or have any suggestions on how he can communicate with her without direct contact. I have thought about her only communicating with me and scheduling FaceTime sessions where I am involved since the baby is out of state. Also is it better to put himself on child support before she does?

i won't remarry him we don't have sex. he does have to take me places. if your interested, just e mail me, your not required to live with him or sexually with him,, just he needs the money. doesn't matter what nationality, must be over 21 tho.. the taxes. are HUGE since we got divorced, any ideas??

No cheating, just constant arguing. He said he can't do this anymore.

I was so moved that we were married. Was I stupid?

We have been together for 20 year, but only legally married for 2, he had to divorce his first wife because she cheated on him, I can't go into details, fast forward, she has never gotten over the break up, it is his daughters 23 birthday and we were invited , we get a call today from his daughter that they don't want ME to come to the party, only my husband and our 2 children can come, I told my husband that was disrespectful and no should go, he tells me that if he doesn't go his daughter will hate him, I said they need to learn to respect me , what do I do? let him go?

Every BS excuse for a breakup is "I want to focus on myself and grow while being single" which translates to "I want to casually date and sleep around". How does that in any way whatsoever help you focus on yourself and grow? It doesn't.... I went through a phase like that in my early 20's and I didn't grow at all from that process, it was just endless meaningless shallow hookups. Building a serious, loving relationship with someone is INFINITELY more rewarding in my opinion. Why do people say this BS crap? I don't see how you can't focus on yourself and grow while being in a relationship as well? It's always women that say this stuff too. Never heard a man say he broke up with a girl because "he wanted to travel around the world and find himself and grow spiritually, etc etc BS crap"

If one of them isn't invalidating, please point it out. My husband says this stuff to me all the time and doesn't get how he's not actually being supportive and effectively invalidating my experience. He says these things all the time, I hear them a lot in all our arguments. "You're the only one that feels that way" "I don't understand how you could feel that way" "No thats not what happened. What happened is (his version of things) and therefore your feelings should change" "Get over it" "Move on and stop thinking about it" "No I'm not going to talk about it / explain it to you" etc "If I don't agree with you then this argument isn't going to end" - when I've said many times I don't need him to agree, but I need him to hear me even if he disagrees and understand that my perspective is valid "Everything hurts your feelings" me about to share a concern.... he says "Oh here we go again"
