Family & Relationships - 25 September 2007

Hello!

My wife told me that per Maryland law, I must attend five marriage counseling sessions with her in order to become legally separated in Maryland, with the intention of getting a divorce following a 1-year separation requirement. Is it true that Maryland requires marriage counseling for a separation and divorce? In case it is relevant, we have two young children.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

and if so why. He makes bad comments about her which are untrue, and gossips behind her back making her sound really bad, and says really mean things to her when he passes her by for no reason.

No. The girl has no contact with this guy.

I have been learning more recently since she is in DCS custody. Boyfriend is truck driver and probably won't return here to TN due to this. I decided to put him out of house and work with DCS on this but am having problems mentally and emotionally because I just had his baby 2 mos ago. What and when do I tell her if ever? Sooner or later she'll ask. I am working on my daughters and my relationship and am scared she will still choose her bio dad over me. What should I do besides counseling and working with DCS/State? Financially I don't know if we'll survive and I am so scared. Although I do have great family and a couple of great friends who will be there for me unless I take a Sect. 8 house in another area which would help us as far as financially.

Do you really think that a girl has to let guys really chase them around like crazy?

If a guy tells you 'hope to see you soon' at the end of a party, and he has your phone number.. is it better to let him chase you around.. ?

Thank you for your answers!

Well my boyfriend and I of 3 years broke up. I didn't want to but I made it seem like it was fine with me so it would be mutual. Anyways we both thought it would be a permanant thing, never getting together again, but today he came over telling me how he's so sorry he was a prick and he's been so stressed out and how much he loves me and wants me back. I told him I don't believe that, because I've heard that before when he was "confused" another time in the past. He said he figured I wouldn't, so he has the perfect way to prove it. I thought he meant something to say to me, so I asked what? And he said he will get it for me but he has to take a lot of money out of his bank account first.
And since our anniversary is coming up in November anyways, I wonder what this "proof" is? Any ideas? The first thought that came to my head was a ring...

I was just wondering if there was anybody else like me, who belives in true love. The only reason I belive is to make myself belive thats the reason I don't have any boy friends. Which I really don't want to talk about because It makes my depressed.

well, according to Yahoo survey one of the most difficult parts of dating is introducing their children to their significant other; which I agree very strongly... http://dating.personals.yahoo.com/singles/datingtips/40816/single-parents-list-dating-challenges-for-yahoo-personals-survey;_ylc=X3oDMTJzZTNyZWcyBF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEc2VjA2ZwX3RvZGF5BHNsawNzaW5nbGUtcGFyZW50cy1saXN0LWRhdGluZy1jaGFsbGVuZ2VzLWZvci15YWhvby1wZXJzb25hbHMtc3VydmV5

Now my question is being a single parent that you are, who would you date? What are some of the characteristics that you look in a woman/man suitable for a potential partner?

I recently met someone in Vegas at the tables and coincidentally ran into the same woman later that evening. One thing led to another and we ended up getting a room and "had some fun." She was not wearing a wedding ring and was under 30, so I assumed she was probably single. I never bothered to ask if she had a boyfriend because frankly I didn't care. I found out tonight that she's married, which is worse. I am not someone who goes to church frequently, but do try to follow God's Commandment of "Thou Shall Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Wife."

I know how I feel about the situation and plan on going to Church to ask for forgiveness, but regardless did not know this woman was married before things went down.

What do you think?

My nana is teaching me how to cook, and she says that "If you don't cook a good meal, your future husband won't be satisfied, and he'll get it from someone else! You want to lose him because you can't cook?"

Why are so many women so anti-porn? Since getting on YA I am amazed by the number of women who totally freak out whenever the topic of porn comes up and I just don't get it!

A little background- I am a happily married 35 year old woman who enjoys an occasional adult movie in the privacy of my own home. Sometimes my husband and I watch them together, sometimes we don't.

Before someone gets all religious on me I want to state that I am a Christian, and I consider sex to be a wonderful gift from God to be enjoyed and explored, not something to be ashamed of and demonized.

And no, I am not some sick guy with free time on his hands trying to get people all riled up. I am asking a serious quesion! Feel free to check out my past answers to questions involving sex and you will see this is is consistent with what I have said in the past.

really like this boy, and come to find out my cousins best friend was going out with him. but she told me they recently broke up. the few days before when he was talking to me he was like yes sam, im in love, haha, i got a girlfried, haha, man the biggest mistake i made was telling her yeah. im not sure if he was talking about her or not. i catch him looking at me a lot in class. and we talk a good bit everyday. he pays the most attention to me when it comes to boys, i doubt he likes me becasue im not exactly yhte type of girl boys like, at least for freshman. does it probablly mean anything by him talking to me or what about the times i catch him looking at me?

So I'm going away for a club convention for my high school and there's a dance on the last night. I had a great time last year, but this year there are cute guys going that I actually KNOW, and I also know they have girlfriends. Do guys practice the whole: "What happens in Orlando stays in Orlando thing," or will they think I'm a whore if I try to dance with them and stuff?
