I asked my wife recently what she thinks about open marriage and if she thinks it's something we could do. She got angry and started accusing me of cheating. I didn't cheat. I didn't even consider it seriously. It was just a conversation. She could've just said no.

And why do they always receive text messages of other women stripping?

He flew into a rage over a huge misunderstanding and did this. My female cousin was there too . Thank God she was or I don't know what would have happened. I filed a restraining order . He keeps trying to get me to drop it. On the order we are only supposed to talk thru text for in regard to the kids only. Me and my oldest have been traumatized. How to move forward from my 7 year marriage .  I have endured a lot from him from the lies and escorts and random acts of abuse. We would fight sometimes but never like this .  I know he's sorry and he didn't mean it but he scared me and my kids and I don't know how to recover from that.

he a man hubby knows? YOU MAD AT HIM ? YOU LIKE HIM HITTING ON YOU?/

My husband's friends all have wives who work full time. I did too up until a year ago when we had our twins. I'm a dentist. I plan to practice again when they are old enough for preschool (aka can talk and tell me what is going on). I have been staying up to date by going to conferences etc. Anyway, his friends wives have not been gracious about my switch to being a SAHM. They talk about the book Lean In and all of that as if I don't already know. They comment about how nice it must be. I have been smiling and nodding because I literally couldn't care less what these women think. If they really believe working some nursing job is better than raising their kids, that is their perogative. In the more likely scenario that they are jealous, I don't need to rub salt. My husband is very protective of me and even after telling him I don't care, the other night he finally said to one of the wives who was really being obnoxious to me. He told her that I made more last year than she will make in the next 10 years and that the stress of having a wife who didn't know how to sacrifice killed Sheryl Sandberg's husband so go enjoy that life if she wants it. She cried and we left. He isn't apologetic at all and I don't know what to say. Should I reach out and apologize? Should I leave it alone? I only care because of my husband's friendship. My husband says leave it and that his friend said she had it coming.

I'm at SATM worked many years as a daycare provider. When my brothers need a free sitter I'm available. I've watched all 3 girls 7,4,18mo of one of my young brothers since they were all in diapers.  My bother 21 and his wife 20 have a toxic relationship all five members life in one room that is somewhat uninhabitable in his wife's Nana's home. They are often not well cared for when dropped off or supervised when I have to pick them up. My 6yr boy who enjoys his cousins. Time range 10am-9/10pm or over night.  The wife would pick up the girls and walk in my house and not speak. So I would just give her the rundowns of everything anyway My husband found her behavior disrespectful.  I brought to my brother's attention a few issues with the girls hygiene and manners The wife DM me "why was I talking ****" She didn't voice this in person so why online? I told her talk to me in person in the end she often me her vagina and told me to go get black cock and called me a "whitey" there was no real argument My eldest brother and I have albinism he took issue with my being called "whitey" He equates it to a racial slur. Our mom keeps inviting the wife to family gatherings. Last time the wife sat out in the car and didn't let the girls come into there nana& papa house. Now she wants us all to take family photos together an my elder brother and I are like why she does not want to be apart of the family and now we'd really like her to not be included. Are we be to sensitive?

My boyfriend (BF) and I have been together for some turbulent 12 years. He didn't want to commit, and I struggled. I Brought a 2 year old son with me and wanted a committed relationship, but he saw that as something he had to go slowly. During such time, he took no responsibility whatsoever. After 6 years, I decided to move on. But suddenly his inactive Crohn's disease started to flare. He lost his job shortly after (that lasted 3+ years), had several surgeries. I took care of him like a friend should. He tried to propose to me a few times and eventually gave me a ring without me saying Yes. There is something I just can't get past - he needed to commit to me when he was strong and capable, not when he saw me as someone he wanted to depend on. BTW, I have my career and financially grew strong over these years. He even suggested he could be a stay-home dad, but I didn't agree. Eventually he got a low stress job which pays a quarter of my income. At this point, he has become handicap due to the surgeries. Our intimacy died 4 years ago. He always stays in bed when he is home, while I take care of my son in all fronts. We can't talk much, which is too much to elaborate here. As my son becomes a teenager, I see lots of negative influence from him. Emotionally, I'm beyond lonely. I feel like I should move on now. Tell me what you think. Thanks.

If a stay at home mom splits with her husband because she met another man what are her entitlements? The have an 800k dollar home but he's going to stay in the home with the children as she can't afford large mortgage, so moved in with new boyfriend. They have 2 daughters. 2 years before the split he set her up with her own brick and mortar, dog grooming business but they are not trying to  get rid of it.... is she still Entitled to a lot? They both have equal custody... New York state

So, that means she would not hesitate to sleep with her husband's friends and others after marriage too? And the husband would have to watch silently without complaing? Because many will say that the husband does'nt owe anything from his wife and nor is she her property after marriage. So that means the wife can sleep around like before easily, and the husbabd cant complain as otherwise those people will call him loser, dominator and insecured?

My husband and I both work. We make just about almost the same amount of money. He travels and comes home on the weekend. I just had a baby 2 months ago. I take care of all the children at home buy them clothes and feed them. I need help physically & financially.  Sometimes I think I'm doing way too much. I asked my husband why won't he put his ex on child support? She doesn't buy the kids anything. Not even clothes, shoe, birthdays and holidays. She doesn't come at all. He claims he wants nothing to do with her. I believe that's partial of it. What would your reason be if it was you? 

I work as a medical coder in a office. My job just announced that on November 4th they will be sending us home to work permanently. I told my husband and he is very upset he said he wants me to be around people and not just sitting at home by myself working alone. I don't mind working from Home but I know it can be isolating at times. What should I do? 

We have only dated for 2 months and I can tell that he is very emotionally reserved. We were in bed the other day, just talking and I asked about his ex wife. He said: "She was a beautiful person, inside and out. She meant well but we married too young. She had a lot of growing up to do and at the time I felt that I had to sacrifice too much off myself for her happiness. I know I hurt her a lot when we divorced and I do hope she finds happiness and I wish her nothing but luck and lots of love in life. But you move on. And I have learned that you can not be together with someone and forget yourself in the us. So that's what I'm doing now. Focusing on me." Sometimes I get the feeling that he regrets divorcing her. He rarely speaks off her. But I also feel like I can not push too much because we are not there yet. How do I know if a divorcee is ready to actually move on for real?

He always is
