Instead of figuring out what these people want, I'd like to give them money and they figure out what to buy with it.

My niece got married at 22 and 2 months later she's pregnant. Their first anniversary they had a two month old child. Why do young couple want that financial burden so soon?

My husband of three years and I are recovering our marriage after a HUGE fallout. I was the injured party, but he has and is doing so much for our marriage to heal. We are doing very well now and I want to propose to him to show him that I'm putting everything behind and want to start over. I'm thinking of proposing with a fancy watch. Any other ideas? I don't want anything too corny, but I do want it to be meaningful. Ideas on how to do it are appreciated too. I specifically am curious to hear the opinions of other men. Thank you!! 

Hello! Long story short. Me and this guy got married a couple years ago and quickly realized that it was terrible decision (we were young and stupid). We don't own any property together, no joint bank account, no kids, nothing. I was wondering if anyone has advice or info about the fast uncontested divorce process in Illinois. We went to court today and they gave us a bunch of paperwork and didn't explain anything. We left extremely confused and overwhelmed. We don't want to get a lawyer because we agree on everything and don't want to spend additional money if not necessary. Does anyone have any experience with this that can maybe guide me in the right direction? Thank you in advance!

Ok. Long story short. Husband and I have problems over one of his ex's that is still in the picture. His sister works with my mom and told my mom she didnt know how we could all be friends if they were in love, my mom then told me. I confronted my husband and told him why would she say that? He then messaged his sister and asked her why shed say that.  and told her i was dramatic and didnt drop it. The thing is im worried my mom looked bad and that I looked bad.  I am also dissapointed my husband would say that. Should I tell my mom or tell his sister why I asked, theres a lot more to the situation that she doesnt know bout. Please give me advice.

I brought a kid to a relationship for 12 years and 5 of which we live in separately rooms. I've been thinking a separation for some time. These are the questions I prepared to discuss with my partner. Need some input. Any comment is welcome. 1. How much emotional dependence a kid has on the father figure? Will losing this father figure cause too much emotional damage to kid? Any plan about father figure involvement after separation? 2. Do we have dependance on each other financially? Is that too complicated to separate? 3. Would we rather to live alone than live with each other but need to put on efforts? 4. Would we rather to live with each other than live alone? 5. Are we physically intimate? 6. Are we emotionally intimate? 7. Is that OK one party stray when #4 is true, $5 and #6 are false?

I ran into my former mother in law at a mall and she told me her daughter, my ex, was getting married again. She told me who she was marrying and he was a casual acquaintance. I thought it was appropriate to send her a nice wedding gift and wish her and her new husband a long and happy married life. She thanked me for the gift but said not to contact her again as her husband did not want her in contact with other men especially me. I emailed her back and said I understood and I would not contact her again as I did not want to cause any problem with her marriage. About 4 months later I got a call from my ex's new husband wanting my help to get his computer back up running. He said "I know this is unusual but will you help me". Unusual, I thought it was weird. However I thought why make a enemy when you can make a friend so I agreed to help him and I told him how to fix his computer. He seemed happy. The last thing he said was "Please don't tell my wife I called you" and I said OK. He has called me a few more times asking for help with his computer and each time I helped him and each time he ask me not to tell his wife he had called. I am not sure how I should feel about this. He doesn't want his wife to talk to me but it is OK if he talks to me. Should I stop helping him with his problems until his wife knows about this. Advice please on what I should do.

I don't want to wait till I get married... I wanna do it when I'm in 12th grade or college... but idk what to do if my mom finds out I'm not a virgin when I lose it one day without marriage 

I have lived my entire life with no grasp on my identity. I don't have a job, 4 years after graduating college. I found love. My girl left me (after 7 years)... its been a year since and I am still not the slightest interested in anyone else. She's married. I have no hope.. truly feel so hopeless. it's the same **** every day, I have tried many times and continue to change my circumstances and environment. It's almost as if I'm cursed to be poor and alone for my life. I've applied to every position possible and the only jobs that seem remotely interested in my services pay little to nothing and offer limited advancement. Constantly updating my resume, keeping an eye out for possibilities... the effort is there. Unfortunately so is the curse...
