Our daughter is 26. Son is 21. although, there is a significant age difference doing drugs is far worse than being unemployed for a couple of months. I told my son he could not only ruin HIS life but all of our lives by smoking because I drive his car sometimes and his car reeks of drugs. I talked to my son about the harmful things that drugs can do and still he refuses to stop doing drugs. I just hope he will make the right decision. our wife told him to stop doing drugs as well and lectured him but she's significantly harder on our daughter. She never threatened to kick our son out. In fact, when our son said he was moving my wife tried to force him to stay. Since our daughter was 14 years old my wife has been mentally and physically abusive and each time i've had to be the peacemaker and try to get her off our daughter and stop her from insulting her. Our daughter has been diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety Disorder, and OCD. I'm not sure if this is affecting her work performance but she seems to have a lot of the managers complaining about her performance. I've talked to some of her managers who say she will go to the bathroom and wash her hands over and over again. Some say that she will repeatedly count out loud, and she has to spray lysol everywhere she goes. She subbed for some time and I think she got kicked off the sub list for being too OCD. She has a bachelors in communications and even then she barely graduated because she kept failing everything. for the past couple of months we've been out job searching, I take her to help look for jobs and fill out applications. My wife said she doesn't believe my daughter actually be filling out applications so I told my wife i would take her myself to ensure she filled them out. she even dressed up in a suit and brought her portfolio with her. Our son works in an out. My wife said " there's no excuse to be unemployed for months. Mcdonalds is always hiring. If she can't find a career she can work mcdonalds or burger king"

So my wife and I have been together for almost 10 years. About 7 months ago she was texting a guy from work and he tried to get sexual and she claims she shut it down when he tried to get sexual over text but admits before that she flirted and knew it was wrong. I only found out about this because I felt like something was up and looked at her phone and saw a text where she mentioned talking to another guy to her friend and I confronted her. Things smoothed over but about a month ago I joined snapchat and I was looking at her phone with her and noticed a friend with the same last name as her best friend and asked if it was her mom but noticed the pic was of a black guy. I asked about the pic and she said it was her friends mom and the pic was of her boyfriend then made a comment about not getting the whole black guy thing. A few minutes later she told me that the person was a coworker and she lied because she didn t want me to feel insecure about her snap chatting with him. She seemed very scared when she told me who it really was and I felt like it wasn t the whole truth. Afterwards she deleted him off snapchat but has since re added him. I ve done some snooping and used an app I used to view pics/videos that snapchat deleted automatically that pulled up plenty of snaps but nothing bad I am fairly convinced I am just over thinking it and need to let it go. But I know the app I used doesn t find everything from snapchat so there may be a lot I didn t find. Thoughts?

He took me to court last year about this time to get part custody of our son. He was awarded every thurs and every other weekend. Shared legal and I have full physical. He married a cannabis pharmacist about a year ago. Ever since then, she seems to have all the say. When id take him to the doctor, she wanted to know the medicine so she could evaluate it. She posts marijuana pics on IG and then pics of my son. I asked him and her to keep him off social media which she just continued to post. Today I am pretty frustrated because over the weekend my son got sick and I took him to urgent care when I picked him up from school. He was at his dads. No one told me and then I found out that he left him with his mom so that he could go to his wifes mothers bday party. His mom wont tell me when he was there and my ex is refusing to communicate. I sent a friendly email on why it is important to communicate health. He is also making it known his wife and her family are more important than our son. I am at a loss.

My wife wants another child. I will not allow it. We already have a twin and I'm sick and tired of running after them all day. They're really a handful .I'm 35 and I'm already starting to run low on stamina.

Let's say your friend was going through hard times, but also you know your husband or boyfriend can help her through a little or a lot, since he's gone through it, would tell him or keep it to yourself, even if it could prevent her from getting hurt. Tbh I don't really care to tell him about it because she's an adult who can get through it on her own and if she can't it's her own fault.

My wife and I usually have a very active sex life but she hasn't been up to the task for the last week. We usually go at it 2-3-4 times a week but it's been a week and I've tried several times and she's had none of it. I masturbated earlier today and she freaked out and acted like I said cheating on her. How can she refuse to have sex with me yet get mad if I masturbate? She acted like I was cheating with on her even though I looked at pictures of her. She recently did a photo shoot for my eyes only in lingerie and that's what I looked at. Am I really in the wrong here?

Men only... Women... of you respond ok... but I don't really care too much for your opinion. Ok... I was with this guy for 8 years and we had crazy moments... we've been through a lot and lost a kid... I haven't talked to him since 2010 but i know for a fact (don't question me.,, I know) that he created a fake page on YouTube and was talking to me and I realized it was him... I also heard from a mutual friend that he keeps talking about me... I hate him because of evil **** that he done... my question is? He's married now and he was doing this while married? Why? Why can't he leave me alone? Why does he talk about me? I don't like or want him? Why do some men act like this when he's married...

My wife of almost 27 Years is a devoted and my soulmate. Over the past few years she has become addicted to her phone. Not 10 minutes goes by without her checking socail media, texting etc... An example is we sit down in the den to watch a movie and 5 mins into it she is checking instagram. At dinner, the same story and even on walks. To me it is rude and a distraction and when I ask nicely to leave it alone for a bit I am met with hostility. What would you do in this case. My strategy is from now on to either ignore it or walk away if she start using it when she should not be.

My mom works in the same large office building as my ex husband. There is a popular restaurant on the first floor of the office building. One day mom was waiting to be seated and my ex husband Jim came in and saw her and invited her to join him for lunch. Never being one to pass up a free lunch, she did. She said they had a great lunch and a fun conversation. This has happened 3 times in the last year. Mom just adored Jim when we were married and that did not change after the divorce. I did not know any of this until Mom told me about it. She said she wanted me to know from her. She did not want someone that knows me to call her and tell me that mom was on a date with my ex husband. I asked mom if she planned to do it again and she said she might. She denied it was a date. She said it was just two friends having lunch together. I am really confused about this. I don't want my mom dating my ex husband. Do you think she is? I told my mom about my concerns and she told me that I should join her the next time she had lunch with my ex. We remained friends after our divorce so I don't think it will be a problem or will it? Please give me some advice on what I should do. Should I join them for lunch or would it be awkward?

From a religious point of view. My brother wants to marry a Jewish girl despite strong resistance from the family. I imagine the woman's family are not thrilled either. Arabs and Jews don't mix well. Just look at the Middle East.

My husband had a doctor's appointment this morning to renew his sleep medication and to have his knee checked out. He twisted it a few weeks ago. The appt was at 7:10. I had already left for work. By 8:52 AM I hadn't heard from him so I sent a text: ME: "You still at the doctor?" HIM: "No", at 9:14 He had to be to work by 11. ME: "Well, what did they say about your knee?" HIM: "My gosh you don't give anybody time do you?" I then go off on a series of text messages about how he is so sensitive about answering my questions. I told him I can't be concerned without him having a problem with me showing concern. He then said that he was going to send me and email once he got to work and that it was too much to have a conversation via text. I then again send him a series of text messages about had he just said that from the start I wouldn't have hit him up. I told him he came across nasty with me and how he feels he can say whatever he wants to me. His reply was that the visit was for a prescription refill and to check out his knee, not cancer. He said I can wait a little while for an update. I didn't need to know what happened the minute he walked out the door of the office. How was I wrong here? Again, he says I treat him like a child and not his husband.

Me and my fiance have a very long and complicated story... We're both 25, and we've been together for the last 8 years. We first met in high school, and in that time I was living here in the United States, but I'm not american. We started dating, but I moved back to my country 1 year later. We kept the relationship in long distance, but we couldn't see each other very often, even though we talked everyday. Anyways, we broke up many times and ended up getting back together, I came back to visit him many times, he went to visit me many times as well, as 7 years passed by in this situation. Now we're engaged and we hadn't seen each other in a year, the longest time we've been apart, and now I came to stay because we're getting married. He went to pick me up at the airport, and when he saw me he started crying. I asked what's wrong, and he said he's just really happy that I'm here. I don't know what to think about it. He was crying like a baby, and like I said, most of our relationship we've spent apart of each other so we're used to saying goodbye to each other and meeting again. The way that he reacted, is it normal? Or do you think he regretted or maybe he did something wrong? It was just not the reaction I was expecting, so I thought it was weird. Other than that, everything else has been normal, he and his family have been amazing to me just like always. Sorry for my bad english in advance.

Husband and I were talking about sex last night and he was saying he has a hard time getting into it like he used to before me, with me. And I asked if it was cuz of the 40lbs I put on after having our son and he claims it isn't but that I'm "the lamest lay he's ever had" and that I "just have no sense for it". I don't really know what the 2nd part means or what I'm doing wrong cuz I do everything he's ever asked me to. I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone with a lot and I thought I was finally getting to a point where I was doing well. I don't just lay there, we try different positions, I try to talk dirty cuz I know he likes that, I initiate often because I know he doesn't always want to initiate, I move as much as I can and I try to not let him do all of the work, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and/or what I could be doing to make it better. Because like I said, I thought I was doing alright. It sucks because I may have been doing this for awhile, but I'm still way less experienced than he is/was (he was my first and only and he had slept with several people before me) and I feel like I'm never going to be able to really, truly satisfy him in the way that girls he had previously did. And idk who to talk to about this because I've tried reading stuff online and none of that is helping. I feel like at almost 30 years old I should have this figured out but I guess I don't. Any suggestions or insight is appreciated.

Lol. He recently got instagram ( he has fb) but is oblivious to the fact other people on his friends list can see who he likes. Mind you its of models and his female friends but it irks me the wrong way. I am 16 and have friends on instagram that are also friends on social media with my dad. I don't want them laughing at me behind my back. My mom is a beautiful, sexy woman and they have a great relationship. I don't understand why we even have a maxim calendar of women in bikinis on the fridge. Why not family pics? Am i being out of line for being annoyed? Should i keep quiet to my mom about him liking woman on instagram? Lol

in the house woman should not wait for a man before she can decided what to do mostly it cause quarrel to both of them .the woman should know what to do when the man is not in.that bring happiness to a man when it comes in .

Hi all. I'm 23, my bf is 33. I'm about 9 weeks pregnant. I was thinking about having an abortion.. I've had a couple before.. but now I'm leaning towards adoption. My reason is because my bf already has 2 kids from his ex wife, whom he is currently going through a terrible custody battle. She also has kids for two other men who she is also in court with. His two daughters I would say are extremely spoiled. I came from a house with a single mother who thought us to be amazing human beings the best way we can and to always show respect to everyone. You never know what someone's going through. My bf and his ex wife teaches his daughters nothing of that sorts. They never listen to anything he tells them to do. They're 4 and 5. I've babysat all of my teen years and I have never came across such disobedient children Usually when we go to parks and such, other parents won't allow their kids to play with his because they are too aggressive or rude. I also don't see myself being with my bf for the rest of my life. I think that brining this baby into the world I live in will be just completely toxic. Although I know it will be so hard to give it up I cant bare to watch it grow up thinking life like this is "normal". I don't want him dragged into my bf and his ex wife divorce or custody battle.

I have a full time job and am very busy as everyone is. I am basically a single mom and my husband barely comes home. Our kids are 14, 6, and 5. I did this when my littles were younger and it seemed to be easier then. He was gone for 4 years, was home working for 2, and then will not be back out on th road for who knows how long. Before he was home almost every weekend, but this time it is sometimes over a month before we see him. We facetime and he is still active in everyday things with the kids, but it is still hard on him and me. I do support him in every way while he is gone and I dont continuously complain to him about things at home because I am sure this is very hard for him as well. Does anyone have any ideas what we can do to stay connected and felt cared for on both sides if that makes any sense?

It's a long story. I'll try to make it short. I'm a younger M, she's an older married F. Because I didn't give into what I now realize to be her polygamous ways, I have gotten nothing but constant disrespect and insults. She's undoubtedly attractive, and I never intended to hurt her feelings, but I just didn't like the idea of being a married woman's play toy. So she now makes constant snarky comments, doesn't text back to work-related matters at times, jokes about firing me, and plenty of other creative ways to insult me. I really want to do the right thing, but I've taken this behavior for almost 2 years. I'm tired of being insulted and still trying to be nice. It's tough, and would be uncomfortable to even mention because I know she'll deny any of it. How do I keep my sanity?

My hairdresser knows I have issues with my hands and told me to cream my scalp to help fix my hair. My hair has already broken off and I told her I haven't been able to wash it or take care of it. She told me I'm too beautiful to get depressed over my hair bc I explained I was depressed so my mom told me to get my hair done to feel better and go have them help me wash it
