Guy and I have been on 5 dates. I asked him if we can get each other something for Christmas. He says he does not have money now for expensive stuff. I said that's ok. BUT since we have discussed about possible marriage, etc....what do we do about rings? Ive asked him on the 5th date if we would get rings, which he said of course because that is tradition.

My best friend of 5 months was playing around and she said Mr.Jake(lets just say jake/ not my real name). She then said Mr. Jakee. I few moments later she said Mrs Jake. This made me think she wamts to get married or something. Does this mean she wants to get married or make a move

This year for my family and I just seems like one thing after another thing. All year it's been like this.  My husband got laid off in January after 35years at his company. They offered him only 2 weeks severance pay. Then, the foundation around our house was collapsing costing us 40000 to fix  My oldest daughter is going through a divorce so we are trying to help her with legal fees. My youngest daughter finished college in May. She still doesn't have a full time job. She is living rent free in our beach house however, we are still financially helping her with bills.  Then, my middle daughter has been in the hospital twice for two different thyroid surgeries. Now, we find out my husband needs knee  replacement surgery.  I don't know what else could go wrong this year. My husband and I have always been very well off (not trying to brag) but we've NEVER had to worry about finances. I broke down today. I don't know how much more I can take. This year has been one of the worst years.

I know i should be happy where i am, but life hit me by surprise and its ruining my marriage. My family doesn't get along.   I have no friends, i hate work. I really just need someone's advice before i lose it all.  I went to jail for a misdemeanor, i had a affair, my family is envys and destroys to make the other feel below them.  I hate being serious all the time...

Husband and I separated for a while. During that time got pregnant by someone else whom wants nothing to do with child. Have been completely honest with husband about everything and he's agreed to raise as own. Despite me being honest with him, I still can't help but feel horrible about the entire situation, I just don't know what to do. 

Let's say at every family gathering, he made her feel uncomfortable by constantly looking at her.  Then when his wife died, she feels no sympathy for him, but is still diplomatic and hugs him at the funeral, expressing her condolences.  After the very first family gathering (a month later) following his wife's passing, someone mentions to her (the woman who he ogled) that he noticed he (the widower) looked very sad and distant at the family gathering.  The woman (who he ogled) responds with absolutely no words of agreement, but instead, "He was ogling me again."  In his defense, he never made a pass at her throughout all those years he ogled her at every gathering.  But she still seems to have no remorse for him, especially since he, according to her, ogled her a month after his wife's funeral.  

Her mother never uses the gifts she gets because she doesn't know her taste. She gave me a crazy Christmas gift with shirt a dog on it last year. I said I'm grateful but that's a crazy gift I'm not wearing that out. She can give me money something I actually need and going to use. It's the least she can do since she's been unemployed firer from Job if I've been buying her groceries the past couple of weeks. I'm having her pay for the groceries soon as she gets a job. . You can never go wrong with my money. We have this huge mortgage so we are We are definitely hard up when it comes to money because all of money goes to the mortgage and bills. I don't need clothes. I need money. That money can help me my groceries. I don't know how she's going to get the money since she's not working but I don't want a crazy T-shirt anymore I'm buying her these shoes she wants because she's been walking around with dirty tore up shoes for the longest time as she can't afford shoes. It's the least she can do is give me what I want as well. 

I'm 24, and I got married 6 months ago. My husband keeps saying that I'm supposed to be pregnant right now and that we should go to the doctor to see what's wrong with me. I'm secretly taking birth control. His mom and sister called me asking if I'm pregnant. I'm starting to feel depressed because I'm not ready to have children. I talked to him but he said that this is unacceptable and he got very mad. I've only been married for 6 months. I want to settle and be ready to have children first. I'm not ready and they're all pressuring me and saying that something is wrong with me cause I can't get pregnant after 6 months. My husband keeps telling me that I'm supposed to be pregnant by now. I'm feeling so depressed and I'm starting to lose love for him. I regret marrying him. Is he in the right? Am I supposed to want kids after marriage right away? I want to wait a year or two but they won't stop nagging me. I talked to him so many times but he keeps saying it's unacceptable. He doesn't want to listen...

So we've been together for over a year now. I moved in with him 9 months ago and just started getting into my new career and I finally feel like I'm establishing myself in this new city and new area altogether. I'm making new friends and friends with my coworkers etc. Now, my office is having a dinner Christmas party at a nice resteraunt on Friday. I want to go alone because I want people to know me individually as a person. They're just starting to get to know me.  Would it be rude to ask my boyfriend I would like to go alone? Most of the office already knows I have a boyfriend...

I understand they need two documents, proof of marriage, which we will be sending the certified copy, and proof of identification. Can we photo copy the Drivers license or do we need to actually send in our drivers license/passport?

I find that once most people reach a certain age and they don't have any friends or a significant other, then it's much harder to actually make friends or find a suitable partner to get married to. They have so many responsibilities with work, commuting, home maintenance, and the little time left for hobbies, that they don't make time for socializing and they end up single and friendless for most of the rest of their life. This applies to both men and women, but women more so because they have a certain biological cutoff for having children and most other women are busy with family and raising kids so there's less time to make friends in their 30's-40's Which is why I find it confusing why young people in college don't spend more time looking for a significant other/dating and making lifelong friends. Because once they graduate, they will never again have the amount of free time and be surrounded by young people with bright futures. Once they enter the real world, life becomes more time consuming and draining and there's less people to interact with and potentially date

Or would you feel sorry for him if he only ogled women who his wife didn't know, i.e. strangers?

I met this guy 3 months ago and we started dating 3 days after he broke up with his ex . But he told me how awful she was and how he was miserable with her . A month later he proposed to me and then we got married 3 weeks later . This all took place in 3 months which is really fast but it just felt so right with him. 2 days ago he told me that he had accidentally gotten his ex gf pregnant 2 weeks after we got married . He is heartbroken about the whole situation and so am I . I'm extremely angry at him but I'm also in love with him. What should I do ???

I have a guy friend I work with and quite often he makes jokes about if we were married and living together. Like, how we are like an old married couple that's always fighting with each other, or joking about what cute husband and wife names we would call each other, when I do things like I straighten his hat when it's crooked he goes "What are you my wife?" And another example is a time when I'm sweeping the floor and I accidentally sweep his shoes and he's like "That's what it would be like if we were married, doing that to me every freaking day to piss me off". And just stuff like that. Note that we are in our early 20's, have only known each other for 5 months through working together and we've never even dated. (Though he has joked about dating me before) He seems to enjoy the marriage jokes more though. What is going on in this guys mind? Why does he make these jokes?

Help. My husband is very manipulating and has an anger problem when I defend myself against him he records with his iPhone to try to make it seem like I'm the crazy one....at work he has won against managers but his luck run out...he recently got fired with his job everyone felt he was crazy and he even tried to send human resources a recording he recorded the manager....suposibly being tje "crazy" one. I don't have the finances to divorce and i have a 3 year old. My husband moved into the spare bedroom and put a lock to "stick it to me" since he used to withhold emotions and emotionally withdraws...i have gotten used to sleeping alone now before it bothered me...and as a result when he asks for sex I rejected him because he decided to withold emotion as a way to manipulate me...i feel he's mentally unstable. I want to file for divorce since I feel it's the ultimate f%#ck you...and I would be dobe with the games but I'm worried court will be a nightmare and he will try to paint me as crazy....help what do i do?
