this virus outbreak and racial tension everywhere (due to unemployment and insecurity)..   Whay as a human being we need to care about these negativities? We just wanna f$ck with our wives and keep living with our family and nothing else matters....

I moved out because we were fighting a lot and had issues with boundaries regarding his mother who lives right next door that he wasn't willing to address. I thought moving out would help him realize where I was coming from and would help. But today, he told me being apart has made him realize that he's done and he wishes to stay separated. He only said this after I changed my relationship status on Facebook to "separated" because he doesn't try to see me. I asked him to come to my place for dinner and he said no, he was helping his mother do something. Could he only be saying this because he's upset that I changed my status? I deeply regret moving out...I wish I would've tried mending things while living together because things have only been more strained between us. I'm also pregnant. So when the baby is born I have no clue what I'm going to do. I don't know what else to say to him or what to do. I want to fix our marriage. I've taken this time apart to realize my faults in the marriage and I'm willing to change my ways and repair it. But it seems the damage is all ready done according to him. What should I do?? Every part of me wants to just break down and cry to him but I know it will push him away. I don't want to not say anything because I'm afraid it will just distance us even more. We tried marriage counseling but he didn't want tot all about his feelings or anything in front of the therapist. I just feel like there is a huge hole in my heart that only he can fix.

So what if you were married, had a child, and only been married 4-5 years. If your SO was a full time student not working, but still getting paid to go to school (military), and you were working 40 plus hours a week and came home everyday to a messy house. What would y'all do??? I've already talked to him and still nothing changed. He's lazy and the only thing he does is do the dishes. How am I suppose to clean, cook and come home everyday to a messy house when he doesn't do **** all day?

My husband and stepkids and I hardly ever take family pictures together. I usually just take some of them and then occasionally my husband and I will take some. Is it bad that we don't take hardly any? I guess I feel like we don't have to because they're not my biological kids. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Thoughts? In the past 2 years, we've took maybe 4. We only have them on the weekends. 

I have to pay for everything while she sleeps until 12 pm and it's making me resent her big time. Apparently she's not too depressed to eat up the whole house because she eats more than me and I'm a man. All she wants to do is eat up everything and sleep. She has been to counseling and been diagnosed with depression. She's been eating so much her feet and ankles are swollen up. I know a lot of depressed people that get up and go to work because if they have to. What would she do without me? If she didn't work and she was single she would be homeless. The reality of life is that employers don't care if you're depressed. They expect you to show up and do your job and do all the crying when you're off the clock. It's sad but true. I feel bad her mental health is spiraling out of control but bills still have to be paid and I'm the only one able to pay all the bills 

Mine is drop kids off at day care, then work, then pick kids up, then help wife with dinner and other house things. Pretty much this way 5 days a week. On weekends we meet up with people or have family outings.  Not too crazy but just wondering if everyone else living day by day? Sometimes it's like I'm a zombie just doing work all day. I love the family, but wondering how everyone else's day by day is? 

I'm sure there's millions of happily married men who had kids and love their lives, go to work hard bring home the money. I have nothing against it because I love my parents, and they sacrificed the usual thousands of hours of time and money into it. But in today's world with it not being nearly as good of an environment for a child to be raised like it was in the 90s..and for the man the risk of divorce and financial ruin to society's gain..the nation wants men to marry and raise good productive kids. I would call it patriotic and humanitarian more than anything. I'm an Air Force vet I worked my A off and want to enjoy the 100K I've saved at 29 and live it up. Would I be a sucker to marry and have kids now?  All the frustration at times for them...was it really worth it all the free time of football and beer and non committal sex?

My friend told me that a husband should treat their wife like a father treats his daughter and should act like you are his daughter. Seems ODD to me. Anyone else ever heard of this? 

I'm almost thirty years old and married with an only child. I have been through a lot in the past few years, my first child passed away and both my kids were in the NICU/born twenty four/twenty nine weeks early, less than a year apart. Ever since my second child was born, I have had a lot more anxiety than usual. Due to our situation, I've had to stay at home with our child alone for practically his whole life while my husband was working/going to school all day long. I'm now pursuing my bachelor's degree and doing well, but before that I was taking care of my child with no help from any family/no friends around. My family lives close, but never has been there for me like I would've liked, they have actually caused more drama than anything. I'm nervous to drive (my husband's needed our car for work nearly our whole marriage). For the past few years I've been drinking quite a bit, I've had good days but more bad days. I've been conflicted as to why I have good times then bad ones, and as of recently I had gotten into with my husband/parents and even broke things on accident. I'm totally ashamed and embarrassed, but luckily my husband isn't holding a grudge and wants to move forward. I am going to take a break from drinking (probably for good) but I never wanted to be one of those people who couldn't drink without drama. I don't know how to stop feeling ashamed and I'd like to get out of these feelings. I know I can quit because I've done it before, how do I stay positive?  I'm worried my neighbors think I'm crazy and get anxious. It's day two of me not drinking and I feel good but I still can't shake the feelings of being ashamed and disappointed in myself. I'm looking forward to not having alcohol related drama anymore, and even though I am still bummed out by my behavior, how do I continue to move forward without caring what other people think? Obviously I need to take a break and want to just stay positive! Thanks.

I had to go the emergency room of our hospital. They took care of the problem but the bill was several thousand dollars. I did not think I would have a problem as I had health insurance. I forgot that my insurance had a $2000 deductible. I started getting bills from the hospital for $2000. They turned their bill over to a collection agency and they started calling me several times a day. They were really harassing me. I tried to borrow $2000 from my bank and they said no. I called everyone I could think of to try to borrow $2000. I was desperate. I did not know what to do. In a bold move, I called my ex husband and ask him for advice. He said to meet him at a restaurant and bring the hospital bill with me so he could review it. When I showed him the hospital bill, he wrote a check for $2000, put the check and the bill in an envelope. He said that is not a loan, that is just a friend helping a friend. That was the nicest thing any one had ever done for me in MY WHOLE LIFE. When I asked him why he did it, he said "I want the very best future possible for you". That was a life changing moment. I could just feel my love for him all over my body. I want to be his wife again and be the best wife he could ever have. Should I tell him I am in love with him and ask him to marry me again? Do you think from what he said, I have a chance to be his wife again?

If a wife and a husband live in a marital home that is owned by the husbands father, and the husband takes the house and kicks the wife and kids out, can she get the value of the home in money during the divorce or does it being in the fathers name mean she's screwed?

I just found out that my aunts husband isn't going to be a preacher anymore. Me and my family hasn't went there in for ever because my mom didn't want to go for some reason but when I found out that he's not going to preach at the church anymore I felt really sad why do I feel like this could it be that I wanted to get married in that church with him marrying me ? Please help

do older persons get too settled in their ways and can't adjust their lives to accommodate sharing life with someone new?

Everytime my husband is around his mother and grandmother they gossip about me to him and the entire family and spread lies about me. This also happens on family gatherings when I'm by myself and when my husband and I are together. They constantly accuse me of doing things that are not in my character at all and accuse me of being someone I am not. When I tell them their perceptions of me are wrong they aggressively force their opinions upon me and my husband. My husband sees their behavior is wrong but sometimes he is oblivious to their harmful  treatment to both of us. There are times where he is weak to take a stand against this behavior so when I have said something it backfires and gets worse so now I ignore it. To make matters worse my husband is very codependent upon his mother and grandmother and goes to them for everything. His family is very involved in our relationship. My mother in law is trying to force her way into our marital home and kick me out because my name isn't on the lease. I work part time and my husband is disabled and receives section 8. Before we moved in our apartment his mother tried to give us money for the security deposit and she said if she did I couldn't live there.When me and my husband said no and we paid for it she got mad. We have been seperated off and on because of his family, homelessness due to my husband's reckless spending habits, financial and other. He cuts them off but always goes back to the torture when they "apologize"

He asked me out after corona and gave me his number. We were classmates. I texted him on weds. We had a conversation where he seemed interested. He said he'd send me pictures of a mini vacation he's going to take next week (from weds convo). But no contact since then. He asked me out, then gave me his number, then said he would send me pictures of his mini vacation. When I said we might not be able to go out until next year bc of corona, he said "I hope not!" 

I need advice because my fiancée and I have been together for 3 years, and have a 1 year old together. She also has another son who is 5 and shares custody with her ex. She did cheat on me when I was at work last year and said it was because she was drunk and it was a stupid decision.  Also, I have had an issue for premature ejaculation in the past, but she's gone with me many times so I'm not sure what the problem is. I support her a lot and am the main provider.  I get the feeling that she is still in love with her ex and it bothers me a lot. I would talk to her about it but it always turns into an argument. Thank you for any comments and help

My boyfriend lives in Korea, he's a korean citizen but He wants to move down here to be together. Is our only option for him to stay getting married??? 

She says what's on her mind and I don't. We are great parents to 3 young kids and have focus on the kids first. We know this is an issue for our marriage. Recently she read an article and brought it to her attention that she wants to have sex at least a few times a month since it's been non existent. She said she loves me and doesn't want to end up in divorce because our marriage has always been on the back burner. We snuck away from kids after that talk and had a few make out sessions. Ended the night with sex.  It felt great that she actually brought it up to me as I thought our marriage was not good and we haven't had sex in 5 months. Knowing that she wants to work on it changed the way I felt about her. I want to start being able to talk to her more and I know I need to show her affection. We won't be able to have date nights often but there has to be other ways we can communicate better and work on marriage. Thoughts and advice?

I'm married to an Iraqi Muslim man. He tells me I have to Understand because that's the way "they are". My son who's 5 slept at his grandmothers house. Yesterday I wanted him home. she whispered something to him then my son came to me nagging to stay at hers again. I said no over 10 times in front of her. & she looks at me & smiles and kept asking him to stay. She's there nagging him & he begins to cry. I'm angry at husband for not getting involved. I go to put my sons shoes on. She says to me " what's he going to do when you go home play?" I said yes. Then she said "he can do that here so idk why you won't let him stay" she walks away into her room and slams the door! I'm so angry now! She comes back out & up to my son and asks me why am I doing this he's crying. I say "I'm his mother why don't you listen to me!!" This is the first time I've stood up for myself. When we got home my husband started shout at me saying he doesn't appreciate how I got rude to his mum. He said I can never talk to her like that and also said she can speak to me how she likes! I was so angry we had a fight and I got upset from the no support. I told him your mother undermines and disrespect me when it comes to our son. I told him to leave I've put up with bullying from them for 8 years. He's texting me last night saying he cannot lose me & he's sorry for not sticking up for me but that's his mum. Should I leave? Me & my husband are good together we just have arguments over her! I can't stand her! 

We've been engaged for a long time now but I refuse to marry him, he's an alcoholic and drinks heavily and sometimes gets behind the wheel while intoxicated. He's a liability and I refuse to be a part of any of it. Today he made me so mad I asked him to move out his drinking is priority he wakes up and his goal for the day is to get loaded before noon it's gotten to the point where I need to hide his keys and wallet so he has no access to more alcohol the liquor store refuses to sell to him when he's loaded. I've had to call 911 when he wouldn't wake up I thought he had a heart attack after they released him from the hospital I was there to pick him up he chewed me out for calling 911 saying he didn't have the money to pay for the ER or ambulance. The neighbors have helped me get him into the house when he arrives in an Uber and passes out In the street I can't carry him and have no way of moving him. I can not imagine doing this into my 60's I don't have the strength or the energy. He has no where to go I own the home we are living in but he has no goals other than where and how to get another drink. 

My father is a narcissistic, I knew this even before I got married. He demands attention from others and praise. When fathers days comes around or his birthday he expects my wife to drop everything and to cater him. He forgets she has a father as well and she has a full time job. It doesn't bother me if I visit my dad for Father's Day and my wife goes with her father. If works in my marriage to allow my wife to not forget about her family. My father is angry about this. He wants my wife to drop everything and visit him only. Is this normal? Or am I stupid for allowing my wife to spend time with her father?

Anyway.
