Recently I have been reflecting upon past decisions I have made. One decision that haunts me to this day is divorcing my husband (now ex husband) about 11 years ago. We were together for 8 years. During our marriage, I noticed that he wasn't the same person that I dated prior to marriage (we dated for 2 years prior to marriage). After we married, he took on a job that left him away for days and weeks at a time. In addition, we had to move away from all family and friends, so I felt like I was completely alone. During this time, I begged and pleaded with him to find another career that would allow me to see him more, but he refused saying that he liked his job. He started to simply ignore my requests, which made me feel further isolated and alone in the marriage. We tried marriage counseling, but it didn't help at all. I thought a baby might help, so we got pregnant. I miscarried the baby about 10 weeks into the pregnancy, and went into a horrible depression. During my pregnancy, my husband was never there for me or the baby either, and he didn't comfort me or help me at all during my depression. After the miscarriage, I started falling out of love with him because I think he just wasn't there in the relationship and I was so alone. So, after 8 years, I left him. When I left him he begged me to come back but it was too late, I just didn't love him anymore. What could I have done differently? Btw, I should add that I feel guilty probably because I feel like It was wrong to get a divorce in general, not because I still love him. I don't and that feeling never ever came back. Im just reflecting on this...

My boyfriend went to a business conference to a city two hours away. While he was there, we were texting. He asked me to come see him there and spend the night because he missed me. I had previously been visiting family before the conference so we hadn't seen each other in over a week. He was like I really want to see you. If you drive up here, I'll fill your gas tank for the drive. So, I go to a city I've never been to before to come see him. It's late and I'm a little tired. When I got there, he was drunk. He was so drunk he was slurring his words and couldn't even walk straight. I was really mad. I was like I can't believe I came all this way to see you and you're like this. And it just turned me off. I wanted to go home but it was late for me to drive back. I was like let's just go to sleep. He kept trying to kiss me and I told him to stop. Then he started touching me and I was like, "I already said I'm not sleeping with you. I'm mad." And he was like I know, I'm not trying to sleep you. Can I just touch you and hold you. And I was like no just please leave me alone. He kept touching me and 3 times I told him to stop. Then, I actually fell asleep and I felt him grab my vagina. It woke me up and it scared me. So I hit his arm and told him not to do it again and he listened. The next day he apologized to me and we made up. But now I feel really guilty for hitting him. I've never hit a partner before but I also feel like he made me do it. Should I just let it go?

I married my wife in January she is American i am British, due to circumstances she was not eligible to immigrate to the UK which is what we both wanted so i had to move to the US, the problem is i am not adapting well (live in Alabama). To the culture, the heat, her family especially i do not like very well for the most part. I do not for one second regret marrying her but i just feel so lost and depressed i cannot work yet because the government wont hurry up and give me an EAD or Green card. Just need some advice, i dont want to leave her i love her but living her is just killing me so bad.

I had a fight with my wife and I told her that she and all her family are scum. I realized how nasty it was the moment I said it. I apologized for it many times and it looks as though she forgives me. i Still feel bad about it. I broke her heart. She comes from an honorable family.

They'll get married too. Or will they? I'm a Gen Z (born in 2001)

I recently had an unexpected 3 day hospital stay. I did not expect to have any problems with the medical bills as I have insurance from where I work. I did not know the doctors were not part of my insurance plan. I was out of pocket over a thousand dollars. They turned their bills over to a collection agency which called me several times a day. I also got letters almost every day demanding payment or they would get a court judgement. It was a terrible. I was a nervous wreck. Suddenly the phone calls and letters stopped. I did not understand why. It was sure a relief. I told my parents what had happened and they told me they knew why I was not getting any more bills. They had told my ex husband about my problems and he had paid the bills. I was really surprised. I called my ex husband Bob, and asked him why he had paid my doctor's bills. He told me that he knew about the nightmare I was having with bill collectors. They call all hours and threatened to tell your neighbors and boss at work and he did not want me to have to endure that. He said we are friends and "I don't let friends suffer when I can prevent it". At that moment, it was like a MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN. Bob is really a great guy and he still has feelings for me. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. If he will marry me again, I will be the best wife he could ever dream of.

My mom's friend is hitting on him.

My daughters 17 and is pregnant. She got pregnant by our family friend who's 41 years old. We've known the family for six years. We're horribly distraught about all of this. She's not getting an abortion for sure. We've looked if we could charge this man on anything but the age of consent where we live is 16. I've gone to their house and talked to the wife and she was crying saying she's sorry. Though my husband absolutely wants to kill this man. I'm not sure what we should do now thou to make this workout
