I'm a married person. Just found my ex girlfriend from a passionate time of my life died months after we broke up. That was 5 years ago. Since I met my now wife soon after breaking up with my ex I never told her about her. She (my ex) moved to California before we broke up so once we broke up I just completely lost her out of my life. Never heard from her so I figured she just moved on. I had no idea she died just months after we broke up. I am so consumed with thoughts of her and how and what she must have felt/thought about in those months and especially the last moments. Did she hate me? Did she think about me at all? Did she wait for a call from me? Or maybe not. I feel guilty just being alive and living, travelling, drinking, all the while she been up there watching me from above. I'm having a very hard time keeping a straight face with my wife because it's just really hard to act like nothing is wrong when I'm really incredibly broken inside.

my male friend is also in a relationship. He's not married though they are just boyfriend and girlfriend. I just recently reconnected with him and feel like we are more compatible. I also feel happier when I'm talking to him. It's just so easy and lighthearted with him. It's ALWAYS been a laid back situation with him. I think we've only argued once so we've been friends. We don't really have anything to argue about because we've always been on the same page about everything. We have a lot in common and share the same views about nearly everything. Where me and my husband are very opposite of each other. Me and my husband broke up a couple of times while we were dating and before we got married. When I say right my husband says left. We have different opinions on so much and it causes us to argue a lot. We have been friends for over a decade so it's not me getting excited for someone new either. I know all of his faults and imperfections. We came from the same background and we both had troubled childhoods He's not perfect but I believe he's a better match for me. My husband isn't affectionate and he never does romantic things. my guy friend is the romantic type, he planned an entire evening for his girlfriend from morning until night and I was blown away at how much thought and detail he put it into the date. I'm also very attracted to him physically so it's the best of both worlds. Problem is, he is in a relationship and I'm married. I asked my husband if he wanted to watch euphoria with me- my new favorite show and he said he wasn't into that type of movie. My male friend loves it so I texted my male friend about it and he said he could get into that type of movie so now we are talking about good the movie is

In 2006 right after graduating high school I enlisted in the Marine Corps. I had a girlfriend,friends. I got out of the Marines in 2010. On June 30th 2010 I got married to that girl. I really love her and we've been happy together and a few months ago I was thinking about having a child with her. Last week she confessed me that between 2006 and 2010 she had an affair with a friend of hers. It hurts me deeply that while I was in Iraq she was banging some other dude. I know this happened a long time ago and we were not married yet but should I leave her?

My husband could be retired by now but he's going to be working three more years until he retires because a few years ago he pulled his retirement our. He makes around $24 an hour. He's always borrowing money from our friends to pay rent because he lets his daughter (his ex wife's daughter that he had before he divorced from her mother) borrow a lot of money. Even when she doesn't borrow money and he's able to pay our rent, we still have no money to go on vacations or anything. The other day when he got home, I was in the bathroom and he knocked on the door and said he had something for me. I was expecting maybe flowers or Jewelry. It was a mini flashlight. Would you consider my husband a loser?

I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. I told my mom and her fiancé about a friend of mine who was shot in the head, and that he didn't look good in his casket because of the circumstances of his death. So my mom pulled me aside and softly said, "I don't think you should talk about that around him, since his wife was killed in a car accident." That really upset me, because I truly believe my mom's fiancé is a con artist, as it's been months since she and I met him, and we still haven't met his two daughters (who he told us he has) nor have we at least spoken to them on the phone. So I think he made up a story about his wife dying brutally, in an effort to have my mom wrapped around his finger. He has repeatedly belittled me and gave me the "don't test me" look, as if he's my father and I have to respect him. And he started acting this way practically as soon as he met me, as he proposed to my mom within less than a month of she and I having met him. And she gave him a key to the house — he lives with us. He also said he's going to adopt me and that my last name will legally be changed to his, as well as on my diploma. But I'm almost 18. Isn't it a little fishy that he's parenting me while barely knowing me, as well as the fact that he's parenting an almost legal adult? How do I convince my mom that this guy is trying to swindle her? His parenting toward me is all an act, as he doesnt give a crap about me or my mom.

My 30 year old sister has a light case of cerebral palsy. She can do things except drive. My husband and I are thinking about letting her move in with us because she can't work or drive. Would you do this? I'm a little scared about my husband and I not having alone time like we normally do if this happens. Is this a good idea?

She never pays attention to me because she would rather pay attention to our kids than her own man. She says she's too tired for sex when I come home demanding it! Because some crappy excuse cleaning all day and caring for our 4 kids. She doesn't get dressed up or pretty for me she always looks like a tired lazy woman. She can't appreciate that I work all day for her. All she has to do is be home. I say she has it pretty easy.

I met my husband in 2005 and have since married him. Both his daughter and son have said some nasty things to me at times. His daughter has been especially nasty and mean. She moved in with us after college (we were just married) and never even asked if we minded. In her mind, as she said, "my dad owes me cause he didn't pay for my college" ! Can anyone say "entitled"? I was flaming pissed! But I shut my mouth and put up with her hour long showers twice a day, her unfriendly friend who plopped herself here each weekend, and her friends all being here drinking. She finally left! Still butts into our business and still mouthy. He never sticks up for me. What do I do

My husband got invited but I wasn't mentioned in the invite I didn't even know she was getting married until last week (it's through court) but I know my husbands ex will be there since his family likes her. But I feel very hurt and I don't know if I'm being selfish in feeling this way.

did it make you mad? did it excite you? they still flirt ?

My wife recently went to visit her mom in a foreign country. Before she left, we had what I call minor issues that gave me no impression that she hated me. In fact, before she left we spent a lot of time together looking for clothes for her and many other things. We even videochatted while she was on the plane before takeoff. But as soon as she got there, she changed. She doesn't want to talk to me. She started calling me all kinds of names. And now less than a month later, she is in a relationship with a dude she met online. Now, we had problems and she had told me a few times that she wasn't fully happy. But the way she decides to breakup took me by surprise. I feel devastated. She was my best friend. Now I feel super alone.

I am at a crossroads now, and I don't know what decision to take. I have posted questions pertaining to my failing marriage here several times. About my husband cheating on me and being emotionally abusive to me for a while. Us going to counseling, and his decision of divorce to try to get his way. Well he finally came clean and apologized and wants us to start new. We are still in counseling, but I'm gauging to see if he is doing it for the kids or because he really means it. So far he has not disappointed. But the person I am today is taking actions over words. and I have recently reconnected with an old friend who divorced a while ago. He was interested in me without me even knowing it. we have everything in common, our religion, love of family, our ways of thinking etc... things will be so much easier with him. But again you know the saying about the devil that you know, and the one you do not know. I know my husband I know what he lacks... and I see him making efforts. I won't say it's perfect but he is changing. This friend I only know him as a friend. not as a lover. And plus he lives in another state and is in the Air Force, so he is constantly moving. I don't want to be getting a divorce and end up in a situation worse than what I already am. I know I will need time on my own after the divorce but I want to know should I consider his interest in me? Or is because of what I went through with my husband that I feel interested by him?

This morning my wife mentioned that there are things that I do that bother her. In a week we're going away with my family for our annual Labor Day get away. I started pulling out clothes last night and sitting them to the side. I folded them and sat them on one spot on the sofa. I don't want to forget anything. My wife has a problem with that saying I'm making the house look messy. She feels that I should wait till next Wed or Thurs to pack. I told her a lot of people start pulling things out a week before a vacation just to make sure they have everything. It's not like I walked to the living room door and just chucked my clothes in there and where ever they landed that's where they will stay. She also has a problem with the fact that when I come in from work I sit my bookbag down on the sofa, only to pick it back up and walk back out the door the next morning. She said that makes the house look nasty. By her own admission she doesn't like a lot of company in our house so what does it matter if I leave my bookbag on the sofa overnight? What does it matter that I'm laying clothes out for a vacation trip in a week? Isn't it my house too? Am I the only one who do things like this or is she just looking for something to complain about? Now, she keeps a blanket on the back of the sofa so that when she gets cold she can wrap up on it. Yes, even in the summer.
