I'm not the same person I was. I hate being around my husband. It's a struggle to care about my kids and I stopped reading them bedtime stories, playing with them, paying any attention to them, or sleeping with them. I can't break out of it. Why don't I love my kids anymore?

We went to dinner with our tour group this evening and there were rounds of beer. There is one young woman in our group that looks good and dresses well. My wife thinks I'm interested in her and has made comments about me liking her etc. Despite the fact that I do not. We got back to a  romantic cottage and were upgraded to the best room in the house for free. We were both excited. What started out well immediately went south. She started getting angry and fighting with me. Claiming I twice said cheers to the young woman and that my eyes were on the woman. I drank 3 large German style beers and was feeling tipsy. I was toasting the whole group and one young guy in particular was challenging me. I seen my wife's angry face and I assumed she was upset because I wasn't helping enough to care for our son. Turns out she thought I was eyeing off the young woman. Nothing can convince her otherwise. I absolutely did not spend time looking at the young woman. The young woman asked once or twice to toast me and I returned the favour. I had no idea that doing so would cause such a problem. She said it caused her to lose face. What can I do? A good evening was completely ruined...Nothing I say will convince her the truth that I was in fact turning all my attention to the young guy because we challenging each other.

Growing colder towards you? Respecting you less? Not wanting to join you in things you love, even though you agree to join them? I know I can't be the only one... Or that gut feeling you have that something is off.  You can't explain it in words. But just something you feel. By the way they talk to you. Or they don't really listen, maybe even starting to make fun of you, or getting irritated at you, for things they once loved about you?  Also just wanted to reach out.  See how others are coping. The hurt that you can't put words to. The sadness you're not even sure why is there. It just is.

My husband said something me that did't sit too well with me. He's on his job and we've been emailing and texting back and forth all day about him scheduling a doctor's appointment and our plans for this weekend. He seems to get missing or won't reply for a little while or answer my questions. When I asked him about it he said that he's busy training some new hires they company just hired for the seasonal season. It's funny that ll morning he could reply to texts and emails but now all of a sudden he gets distant. He just sent me this text. "You have always thought that you are more important than my job. You're not, especially when I'm on the clock. You have to wait sometimes." He said that by the time he gets back to his desk to possibly respond to me one of the new hires calls him again. He even said that what we're talking about can wait till he gets home. Can you believe he said that to me?

My husband is long winded and I am just the opposite. Whenever he says something to me often after I am done talking he will just stare at me like waiting for me to say something else. I never do and I often get annoyed and turn away. I know he won't change but is this normal?

It's not just my wife I need to teach it to, it's my son and my adopted children too. The only one who learned it is the child that I contributed the most to raising (my youngest daughter and I did it because I was a stay at home dad for a while). The only 4 have "winner's mentality" which is great for getting things done YOU want done, but it is terrible for getting things done as a group or that others want done and you are responsible to get it completed. Basically, winner's mentality is a narcissist mentality and I want to teach my wife and 3 of my kids (16, 17, and 18) how to not focus on yourself so much and share focus with other people and their needs once and a while. Any advice? I need this fixed because as it stands right now the house is trashed and no one feels any personal responsibility to take care of it because it's "not their mess" which is a lie in most of the case because these people are too in their heads to know what they did and what they didn't do. Also, all 4 of these people have failed relationships or none at all and I need them to understand their contributions to the dysfunction so they can get better. Help!

Hi everyone so my husband's son died last week from a motorcycle accident and I never had any respect for his son. He was a troubled kid who smoked pot, skipped school, and partied every night. I told my husband to spend his time buying the bottle of lube I wanted for Christmas and some purses for my birthday from Macy's. Instead he is wasting his time making the funeral arrangements and comforting his ex wife. I want him all to myself. His son should've been second.
