I am pregnant & scheduled to have a c-section next Monday. Is it wrong to ask my husband to stay home with me for two weeks? He said no one has ever asked him to stay home before & I am the first. We both have a job but I don't know why he is being that way. I asked him and he said he can't afford to stay.

Studies have shown that women start off in their early life very happy, but end up more unhappy as they get older past the age of 30. This makes total sense. You have women in their teenage years and 20's that have guys always giving them attention. Men are always hitting on them, buying them expensive gifts, and taking them out to fancy expensive restaurants. Most women in their young early life date the irresponsible guys (the ski instructors, the major league baseball players, the pool boys, etc.) and kick the responsible good guys to the curb. Though once after they pass their expiration date, which is age 30, less men give them attention. They are no longer are attracting men who will pay their way when they pass their expiration (losing their looks). Then they become bitter as they age through their 30's, 40's, and beyond. Meanwhile, the responsible guys, the guys that these women kicked to the curb in their younger years, are becoming prosperous as they work hard in their career, as they move up the corporate latter, and as they get their promotions. The responsible guys (the poindexters) live a happy and prosperous life and become more happy as they age. The responsible guys (the ones that were kicked to the curb by women in their early life) start to look pretty good to women who are past their expiration date ... and the successful responsible guys don't give these women the time of day because they have money and are therefore getting younger and hotter women.

I'm 15 and got caught "messing around" with this man who was 40 he had a wife and young kids. He knew that I was 15 but still went through with it. Once my parents found out they immediately got the cops involved and he went to jail and he should be in there for a while. Sometimes when I think about it I feel so guilty because I feel like it was my fault and he did nothing wrong. His kids won't have a father and I feel like that's because of me.

I live in a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone, and I was in a very toxic relationship. The woman who I was with for 7 years was cheating on me with random men, and we use to get into heated arguments. In the entire 7 years of her having random affairs I hit her only twice and I am now I am known for it. Local women really will not go out with me because of this and I am not much into online dating. This was 2 years ago and I have not been on one date since we split up. Prior to her I had never hit a female and I don't have a problem with my anger or temper. I only hit her after heated arguments about her infidelity and lying. The bad part is that she had everyone lying for her, mother, daughter, sister, aunts, and even her grandmother.

My husband and I are both in our 40's. There's a girl who live two door down from us. She is 15, she's lived there for a while and we've watched her grow up in a way. She's always been normal size. But now she looks very thin and quite sickly thin. We've talked to her a few times and I really want to ask if everything's all right but I feel like that may not be my place. As a parent thou I am concerned for her. My husband and I both truly believe she must have an eating disorder of some sort. We both don't want to make her uncomfortable if that's the case because I'm sure she doesn't want to talk about it. We both really have a hard time just letting it go or ignoring it cause we've known her since she was 11 and she has always been the sweetest, especially when we were about to have our son she made us feel so good and I'll never forget that. If you were in our shoes would you ask her or leave her alone?

My biggest pet peeve is lateness. My husband is always late and not just 20 min I'm talking HOURS late. We will have something going on with the kids like baseball practice after work. He will decide to do his own sh*t like go biking or grocery shopping and then when it's "convenient" for him he shows up to things. Today was the last straw for me. He's been telling me he's been working late but I caught him in a lie. I made dinner for the family we were supposed to eat at 6:30. He told me he was working late and didn't leave the office until 6:00. He didn't get home until 7:30 when the kids were getting baths. I found out via his mother that my husband and his father actually went bike riding this evening at 5:30 then went to the bike store to pick up pieces for the bike. I'm tired of the lies! I'm strongly considering a divorce. He can NEVER be on time for anything. I feel like the kids and I are constantly either waiting on him or going without him. He's HOURS late for everything. He was even an hour late for our sons birthday on Sunday because he got distracted at the house (he was supposed to be taking a shower then coming to the place we were having our sons party at) he decided to take it upon himself to try to fix our internet at 4:00 when our sons party was starting. Any advice? I've told him OVER AND OVER how much this bothers me!

So in the state of Louisiana, in order to get an uncontested divorce you must live apart for 6 months without children and 1 year if there are children of the marriage... Does that mean if i had children before we were married, our divorce would be final after 6 months or do we need to go the full year? Thanks

Im a 20 yr old girl living with my mama since 2.My dad has a super introverted and depressed personality as l heard and know somehow but l wonder y l always kinda fall for guys exactly this type unconsiously ???Maybe l wanna compensate ?

He told me it was the boys and a few girls passed by to say hi but didn't stay. Now i saw the photo and told me to trust him. I feel it's disrespectful. Am i wrong?

We've been friends for a while and recently i've noticed that he keeps fidgeting or removing his wedding band when we talk or he'll constantly touch his chin or play with his face. My other friend told me that those are attraction signals... so now I'm wondering if I need to stay away from him (I don't like him that way and I'm not looking for an affair)... Is she right or is she nuts?

Where did Myra Gale Brown marry Jerry Lee Lewis?

its been almost 4 years since our divorce, she forced it, she was cheating, draining money from our finances and credit cards, and left the 5 kids and with me, shes been having fun and dating while i have been doing the work of raising 5 kids, laundry, dinners, driving, etc etc, all the stuff she didnt want to do anymore, she WANTED to be the every other week parent. so i havent had time to move on and find someone else or have time to myself. she forced this life on me, we also work together, because when we were married i got her a job at my office, trying to make her happy and being a good husband, so i see her there, not a big deal to her. but im not happy working with the person that screwed me over, but thats besides the point, just feel like shes forced her life on me when it should be over, anyways, so the one enjoyment and circle of new friends i have created by the love of baseball and my children that play the games in travel league has been invaded by her and her boyfriend, before him, she never came to any games. now shes there, which is ok, but with him?? just another crap sandwich i have to swallow. cant even pretend to be happy about it. i wont say anything to her, just venting here, but any kind advice or similar storys might help me deal. thanks

I feel like im weak. its not just a feeling, its reality. I am weak. My wife and I are driving each other nuts. Its mostly my fault, but its just because I cant stand being married to someone so different from me anymore, we used to have a lot in common but have grown apart and its hard to imagine how we got married in the first place and i know my wife feels the same. I know she sees me as the biggest douche to ever exist. and shes right.. i keep emailing divorce lawyers and then never show up to the appointments, or just stop responding and never even make the appointment. I am weak. I am scared. I dont know why im so wishy washy. i truly do love my wife and we have a daughter. we have some good memories, but i only see a bad future.

HONEST MEN answer ONLY thx

My husband is verbally abusive to me and my children, even breaking things and throwing tantrums. He has been physically violent several times, spitting and kicking me, and throwing a remote at me. He disrespects me in front of my kids and company constantly. I think he may be a narcissist. Nothing I do is ever good enough. Hes great at making me feel sorry for him because of his past, loosing both male figues in his life. I dont know what to do. He will refuse all help or counseling.

I have been told it is unusual but my ex wife and I are on friendly terms. She has remarried and I try to stay out of her life as much as possible. We did not have any children. However a very unusual problem came up. Her job where she works is being eliminated. This would be a financial disaster for her. The company told her it has openings in other parts of the company if she get some specialized training. The open job that pays the best is Web Page Designer. She priced that training locally and it is very expensive. She ask me if I would give her that training on credit. I told her I would give her that training and I don't charge friends for helping them. There is however another problem. She doesn't her husband to know that her ex husband (me) is giving her the training. She wants me to pretend to be someone else with a different name and give her the training. I am not sure I want to do that. I would like to help her in her time of need but I am afraid this will explode in my face. Any suggestions on how I can get her the help she needs with out causing a problem for ANYONE. Perhaps I give her the training and insist her husband be in every training session to see nothing improper happens. THANKS for your advice.
