My wife will stay out all night gambling and the house is filthy,would I have a chance to get custody of my daughter if I filed for divorce?
Been putting up with it for 6 years now,plus she smokes a lot of weed.
I tried talking to her but I more or less gave up by now,I think my wife still wants to live the single life,but I,m scared to leave my little girl with her I think she will be neglected by my wife because she sleeps so much during the day.

My daughter is 2 1/2 and has not been away from me even a day since she was born. Her father is trying to fight me for joint custody even though a) he is a truck driver and works 2 weeks straight, b) lives 4 states away, c) wrote a bad check for the last child support payment I got from him, d) does not have a place of his own, and e) changes girlfriends more than I can count. Since my daughter was born I have had the same job and he has had more than 6. He has a hard time keeping a job and doesn't even have health insurance for her. Is he just trying to get me to believe he still has control of the situation or what? I would like some input about what to expect when we see a judge to settle the divorce and custody. Technically he abandoned us and the house which I am now paying for even though it is in his name. Can I get some help please? Thanks.

Honestly, I have worked hard all of my life, I busted my butt and got a promotion at my job. I starting to make really good money. I got married really young, and have one great boy. My wife is really starting to Nag me. I can't play my Xbox any more, or hang out with my friends. I have been having great conversions with this lady in my Office. She has been hinting that she would like something more. I think that I'm going for it.

My ex lives an hour and a half away. He insists that I do "half of the driving" if he is going to see my son. I really don't think that this is fair. Round trip the drive is three hours!! What should I do?

And no, this is NOT lust. It's the real deal, people.

I have been married for five years, but I am not truly happy in my marriage. I get along with my wife, but we are not really connected. We do not have a lot in common, but once in a while we are able to carry on some good conversations.
We have a wonderful four-year-old daughter, and I am a devoted father. I absolutely adore my daughter, but I am terrified knowing that a divorce would make things worse for her.
Unfortunately, the divorce laws in my state greatly favor the mother in custody cases. My wife has some issues that are of concern, and I am uncomfortable with the idea of my wife getting primary custody. My wife has ADHD, depression, and, under stress, her immaturity surfaces in front of my daughter. My daughter sees the behaviors and has even asked me "Why is mommy acting like a baby?"
I have been able to tolerate my marriage because my daughter is there with me. I hate divorce, but it seems like it might be the right choice. I hate the state laws that work against me.

My question is how important is physical attractiveness to you? Have you ever been with somebody who is not the most physically attractive person, (I'm not saying a dog, but maybe you've dated much better looking people)but everything else about them is the best? Does this bother you some, and do you ever think about what if I had all of these things in somebody that was a little more attractive than the one that I am with? How about guys with ladies or maybe people who think they are not the best looking person and have somebody who is really attractive? I need some opinions as to how you all feel about this.

I have been taking care of my wonderful stepson since he was 2 yrs old. He's now 6. (The mom was on drugs at that time and wanted her son to stay with dad) We both knew she was a loser and we never demanded any money from her all these yrs. Since that time she has had a 3 yr. girl and I just had my new son. Last year my husband took the mom to court to establish custody because the mom had got on Welfare a couple of times without our knowledge. Anyway its established that they split custody, she get's him in the summer. We did not file for child support because she begged us not to cuz she needed to find a place to live. It's been a year since then! She still lives with her boyfriends parents. She had a job for a hot second and then quit. We told her, it's time to pay at least $100 so we can put him in karate. She couldn't even do that she sends $85. What do we do? I'm fed up! Now that I am not working I feel that she should get a job and pay.

Everything seemed fine in my life before a month or so ago. I am engaged to be married in a couple of years from now with a beautiful and loving girl. I started to get these unwanted images and thoughts in my head about all sorts of ****, including violence, unwanted sexual images, and a whole bunch of anxiety. Well what is really bugging me lately is that nowadays when I tell my fiance that I love her, i have this feeling of guilt, even sometimes when I touch her. But when I think of losing her or her being gone for along time, I get this feeling of anxiety and pain, like I know I would miss her alot. I have been seeing a phycologist and am seeing a phyciatrist next week, but with all of these thoughts I've never had before, could it be the depression messing with my mind? Because before I was diagnosed with it, I've never questioned my love for my fiance or our future. I guess I'm just so confused, I hate the idea of not loving her. She deserves to be loved and I want her to be happy

O.K., I have no problem getting a female's phone number, going on a date, or even getting sex with a female. My problem lies here: I can get them, but I can't keep them. I want so bad to have a relationship, but I can't seem to get a female who wants to commit to me. I've been thinking what could I be doing wrong? I seriously want just one female, it's more stable and convenient for me. Money wise anyway. LOL Seriously, help me out someone. Why are females evading my proposal for a relationship?

He hangs around the bar I go to even though he doesn't drink anymore. I thought it may end when he started dating this other woman, but no, he moved her in 5 doors down from my house. Neighbor says he comes to a near stop in front of my house every time he rides by.

I've known many guys who cheat and treat women like garbage and it seems the worse they treat women the more these women want them. Why? I've read many online profiles that said she is looking for someone that is funny and thoughtful and kind, but goes on to say don't bother replying if you're not '6"2 and have perfect abs. Is the whole wanting someone who is nice and respectful a way of taking up space in the profile, or a way to make yourself seem innocent? I don't have a chip on my shoulder and I'm not bitter I'm just tired of the hypocrisy.

Last weekend my man was out of town on a golf outting with a bunch of friends. He left Thrusday morning and was due to come home Sunday. Sunday early afternoon he called me and complained about feeling like crap because of all the junk food and fast-food he's eaten all weekend and he would love nothing more then a home-cooked meal and a hot shower.
So I said I would make him dinner, and I asked him what time he will be home, and he told me 6:30. I said I would have dinner ready as soon as he walked in the door.
So I bust my butt all afternoon putting together an awesome dinner of comfort food - pork chops, mashed potatoes, the works.
6:30 comes and goes and he doesn't show. I called him a few times and he never answered.
He got home at 8:30. They were "stuck in traffic", and he didn't answer my calls or call me because he was in a car full of his friends and he didn't want to appear "whipped". Oh, and he was really hungry like, hours ago so they stopped at Taco Bell.
