it seems like everyone my age is getting married. I'm asking because some of these people (and their parents) are telling me I need to 'start looking because I'll regret it later if I don't'.

If I have to pay child support and my wife wants me to pay child care cost too, can she continue to stay at home and take that as income to her? Right now she is telling me she is going to ask the judge to let her stay at home with my 2 year old instead of working. Can she do this in Arizona?

Should I leave him? It wasn't until my father died today that I realize how much of a issue it is!!! I'm grieving in the bedroom and he's playing call of duty in the living room! Wtf!

It is really no one's business I feel but when asked I hate lying. The wife was very unforgiving at the same time my 2nd cousin did cheat (though is remorseful).

I had made reference to having seen his ex-father in law and my Dad indicated we won't be speaking to him anymore. I just saw him in his car driving and waved to my cousin who was with him, didn't talk to them. So is he correct that after a divorce these people are nothing to us anymore? Should I treat them as dead including the ex-wife?

We were going to get married in summer but cant do it now because he said of the virus and he has personal stuff to do. He said "We will see but I don't think anything will go wrong". He thinks it will only go wrong when "other people and terms inter into our lives". He says Im the only one he likes?

Everyday he chat with his ex wife and kids i have no problem. But there a times where he chat with his ex wife for hours and i find it  very upsetting to me. should i live him? I need advice from  someone please.

I've been seeing alot of couples elope because of coronavirus. And In most cases they were not keeping 6 feet apart and we're also kissing during their ceremony. Aren't those all violations of social distancing? This is how the virus spreads, people shouldn't even be sleeping in the same bed, that's very dangerous. I wouldn't let anyone sleep in my bed right now, I don't know what anyone has. Even if the couple lives together, one of them could pick up the virus from a grocery store and then spread it when kissing during the elopement. Sounds really dangerous  I'm just looking out for people and their safety that's all, I'm a really caring loving single person

Even I refuse to treat my stepkids differently if I were to be the stepmom myself.

His dream was to move home after college, get a well paid job(expat),kids in private school and have paid help We were both born in the US, hes Thai and Im Korean After college he asked to move to Thailand. I wanted to stay. He respected that. We got married, had kids. His mom came out of retirement to look after our kids as we worked. Dad stayed in Thailand Weekends,I see my family with the kids while he sees friends to smoke pot(cause of boredom) He doesnt smoke around our kids.  I do everything in the house/kids. Mom will help but shes in her 70s In an Asian house the women looks after the home but his parents shared duties at home and both worked I have anxiety about sex as I had a cesarian. My sons are 1&3 Fights are caused by my laziness (his mom helping triggers it). I dont watch out for him when he smokes pot (his parents-heart attack). I dont help him lose weight. Hes given up his dream, life & family. I dont think/care about him emotionally, theres no bond. Im boring, great mom but failing as a wife.  He shouts, I act like a child cause Im silent, if I speak up Im disrespectful. He got an answer for everything, I hate conflict Cant get a divorce, he threatens to take the kids and disappear Hes in sales, unhappy in his job. I work in HR which I enjoy. I earn more, it kills him. Theres debt so we break even. Hes a great dad, kind, honest. We were best friends. Life got in the way, we drifted apart. He still loves me but he feels lonely, in debt, in a country he hates

I recently went through a break-up. I loved the guy in many ways, and I believe he loved me, but it wasn't going to work out. I was doing all of the compromising and work in the relationship; we lived 30 miles apart and he only came to my place once in 13mos and would have severe anxiety if I couldn't make it over to him at least 3 times per week. He didn't work, which made me feel like he was becoming my child. He stopped having sex with me after only 2mos. On top of that he wanted to live in the country, whereas I like the city, and he never wanted children. Now, I realize I'm single, 32 and all alone. I limited my facebook time, because most of my friends seem so happily married, and many have children, and although I'm happy for them, I so often burst into tears after seeing their pictures wondering what I've done wrong. Wishing that I could have that. I have another friend who is 34 and married 1.5 years and is now pregnant with their first. When she turned 30 and found herself single, she became extremely upset and wouldn't celebrate, and instantly began lying about her age until she met her future husband a little over 1 year after. Anyhow, I just mentioned her, because I know I'm not alone in this feeling. Why do single women in their 30s feel this way? Why don't men in their 30s feel the same?

Hello, How are you? My wife and I are self employed people, we run a small cleaning business which is owner operated, so basically just both of us work in the business together. So we only have one income that we earn together. The company is under her name, but since we're married and live together we naturally always file our tax return jointly. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, we ended up having to temporary shut down our cleaning services activities, and recently my wife applied for the Unemployment Insurance Benefit under the new Pandemic Unemployment Assistant Program for self employed people. So my question is, can I also apply for the Unemployment Insurance since I am also without work now and being that we work together? Or since we both work together and the business is just under her name, only her can apply for it? I am just not sure if I should apply as a self employed too since our cleaning company is only under her name. I am not an employee of the business because I do not get paid any salary. We're husband and wife and both work together bringing in the income for our family, so basically all the income that we make together in the business goes to the same household. Thank you so much! Hope you have a great weekend! God Bless. Fabio.

they leave urine al crap all over bathroom floors and walls, great to be married huh?

My husband lost his job but thankfully I haven't...yet. I've been working long days at home to ensure we have some stability. My husband has slowly become more sensitive to everything. He constantly wants my attention and comes up to me when I'm working to talk or show me a video. I have to shut him down every time because I need to work. I cant screw up or else we might lose everything. When I try to tell him to not bother when I'm working he says I'm a ***** and dont care about him. He over reacts to everything I say. How can I make him understand and be a little more appreciative that im working extra so we can still live in our house and eat.  

My wife and I are working from home. She has her workstation set up in the kitchen and I'm set up at the desk in the bedroom. LAst week our stove went on the fritz so she hounded me about getting a repair person to come look at it. I had to call and schedule everything and since we're both home I had the guy come today. My wife now expects to to stop working and come in the kitchen while he's there so I can deal with him. Granted, i take calls where as she doesn't and the kitchen is too far from the bedroom to hear my phone ring. My wife is not on calls but just processing payments and things but she doesn't want to deal with the repairman about OUR stove. In her mind, since I called him I should deal with him. But the minute I say anything about that being MY kitcvhen she has a hissy fit. The other week she needed an ingredient for a mean and was too lazy to drive the 1/2 mile down the street just to get some basil. She cooked without it. In her mind since I made the appt I should be the one to deal with him instead of literally just turning around to answer what ever question he has. I have to get up and come all the way across the house. Why doesn't she want to grow up and act like an adult tell the repair man what's wrong. We've already discussed it. My wife tends to be one of those who will always say, "I don't know what to say" or "I don't want to deal with that."  I get so tired of hearing those excuses when she doesn't want to deal with something and rather I deal with it.

If you lived in a house your husband had previously with his ex, would you change out the flooring on it along with other things?

I can't believe this is my life, but here goes. My soon-to-be ex wife abandoned me and our daughters to be with a man in another state. She has mental health issues, as does he. He was with another woman at the time; cheated on her with my ex wife and left her. Well, the ex girlfriend reached out to me. I'm grateful because otherwise would have never been able to serve her with divorce papers. She and I connected during this difficult time and have started to "talk". Ex wife found out and lost it. Moved back to our state because she knows she can't get 50/50 without doing so and is threatening to tell the court that I'm allowing a "dangerous" woman around our kids... She hasn't met my kids...nor will do so for a long time. She and I are meeting up for dinner next month, though. My attorney says not to worry about it because she can't "expose" this woman without exposing herself. And that technically I haven't done anything wrong. But I'm still hoping to maybe get some advice. She doesn't have an attorney, by the way. She's representing herself because she can't afford one. And she's been flaunting her boyfriend all over social media. She thinks the woman is trying to get revenge against her ex by talking to me. Not sure why she cares so much because you know, she left me. She hasn't seen our kids in months because she was out of state. Is back now and still can't see them until she complies and gets mental help.  And the only reason she is saying this woman is "dangerous" is because of some trash her ex boyfriend said. Nothing concrete.

I've been married to my husband for 35 years. We have 3 grown children. When my first child was born they started stepping over boundaries, showing up uninvited. I was 2 days home from the hospital after giving birth and my mother in-law and sister in-law came in, uninvited, took my nursing, sleeping baby from my breast as we slept. After that I started laying boundaries. It didn't go well. They have since for the better part of 35 years tried to break our marriage up. My mother in-law when she comes for a visit destroys property and acts clueless when she's confronted. One time when she visited, I noticed she had stabbed my vinyl flooring in the guest bathroom with a sharp object. Another visit she loosened the hose behind the toilet and flooded the house while we were sleeping. She blamed our cat but I know it was her. I find things broken after she leaves. One time on the day she left she broke the latch on my washing machine. We had to wait 3 weeks for the part to come in. About 10 years ago we had separated. My husband had a girlfriend and my mother in-law quickly befriended her. We eventually got back together. We went to her house for a visit and she was on the phone a lot in private, texting and smirking. Come to find out she was talking to the girlfriend my husband broke up with and was talking bad about me in text messages. My son who was 18 at the time got into her phone and showed me the texts. She is wanting to come visit. What do I do?  I'm afraid that she's going to destroy my property and my emotional state just can't take the drama 😢 All this is very true and it's been a nightmare.  I recently let her know now is not a good time. She's 82 years old with health problems but she will whine and cry and complain to my husband. It wears him down... he is not in the best of health himself. 

I want a divorce but have no idea where he is, what can I do?

During this time of quarantining and staying at home my husband and I have been literally stuck together nearly 24/7. We're both working from home. I get off at 4 and he gets off at 6. Yesterday he had the day off so he was in and out all day running errands and things. When I got off work I wanted him to go with me for a walk. He said he didn't want to go for a walk. I asked him why he didn't want to go walk with me and he said his knees hurt and he doesn't have any walking shoes. Yes, my husband has problems with his knees but I think that if he started walking they might feel better. He said we've never just gotten out and walked before so why now? I just want to get ou to the house. He told me to take the dog and go ahead. We actually have a park 1/2 a mile away from our house. I think he just doesn't want to walk with me. Am I wrong?I told him that he has been denying me long enough and I'm tired of it.

I've been wanting a divorce badly, but my husband refuses. We got married last November and separated days after the marriage. I've talked to him about divorce but he says he will refuse to sign the papers. I don't live with him haven't seen him since, we have no children and no properties, money in general we don't have. We are only in our early 20s. I feel trapped I don't know what to do and I can't waste the small amount of savings I have on a lawyer if he tells me constantly he won't sign it off.. what can I do? Please help 

My wife has two kids from her previous marriage. Her 8 years old son stays with his dad for now to stay in the same school and stays with us on the weekends. Her daughter 4 year  daughter lives with us. Anyhow her ex husband works under the table at a construction company his brother owns making good money that he doesnt pay bvb taxes on.  So they have this weird thing where she claim the kids on her taxes and then splits it with him. So when the stimulus checks came out she got $2200. She gave him $1100. I ask her why and she said cause he one of the kids over there. I ask her for some money cause my stimulus checks hasn't come yet. She gave me $60. She gave her ex over 1k and me $60. Idk why i feel some type of way about it bit I'd do. I'm constantly sacrificing for her,  for example,  I'll have $80 to buy lunch for the week for work. I'll spend $70 to take her on a date and survive off tuna and crackers. Another time I had $200 left after I paid bills, etc. She ask me for money and I gave her half. Then I spent some of my half on gifts for her and her daughter. I guess I feel hurt cause I'm seeing for the first time what she's willing to do and it doesnt match what I'm willing to do.

married about 7-8 months ago immediately separated day after marriage, is it possible for me to file for a annulment without a lawyer? 

I am not 100 percent positive that he was cheating on me but the signs were there. This was almost a year ago. For a big part of last year I spend most of our weekends alone. Mothers day, fathers day, our anniversary, Easter, 4th of July I was left alone while my husband "volunteered". Its coming up a year later. We have discussed the problems, he has admitted he was wrong but also thinks I have over-reacted. We are in good terms at the moment but why can i not shake this hurt and anger, resentment. . Its over, past and I realize nothing can change that. He has said he is sorry, why can I not just let it all go and start over. What is wrong with me? More info.  no I was not mad because he volunteered.  There was no evidence that he even went.  Went to classes, but no papers, no books, no receipts, no emails, no proof, no pictures,  Lots of text messages that was read, responded to and then deleted. Late night phone calls, late night "volunteer" requirements, out of town meetings.  I asked to go and see the practices, (as supposedly other spouses were visiting) he promised to take me but quit before he actually took me.

I'm 34 years old, getting divorced and got pregnant with new boyfriend. I ended my 14 year marriage over a year ago, husband was abusive, mom wasn't supportive. I had already met someone, we got together after separation, got pregnant after dating 9 months. Relationship with mom had been very hard, not supportive from my divorce, thinks I'm a bad mom when I'm doing my best for my kids, work hard. Found out my oldest daughter was sexually abused, not supportive either. Decided to stay away from family, but I know she needs to know. I don't know how to say it, she has had health problems, tired of fighting too but I'm due next month.  Any suggestions or words of encouragement. Wish our relationship was different, wish she could be more supportive. I know it's rushed.  Thanks
