My husband has a habit of spending money on things we really don't need (electronics, cars, etc). I've been trying to save money (for emergency use, a vacation we may take someday, and/or to help pay for our daughter's college), but every time I get a subtantial amount of money saved up, he takes it and spends it on something (like a car he paid way too much for that we sold six months later for much less). So, I set up a savings account he doesn't know about. I don't put a lot in it...about $100 a month or so just in case we need it later. Oh...and another piece of info...I'm a stay-at-home mom, he's the one who actually makes the money. My mother-in-law was a little upset by the idea when I asked her if I should (although she doesn't know that I actually did). Do you consider this ok or am I completely wrong in doing this?

Is it just me? Or am I, the only one who has lived an extremely super boring marriage life, for the past 15 years!!!!

In April my brothers gf confided that she had met up with another guy who promised he could provide a better life for her and my nephew (1 yr old) but that they only met in a local park and they never had sex or anything. She then said that she had broken things off with this new guy. In August my brother told me he was fed up with his gf spending all her time chatting on msn and chatrooms and never spending time with him not to mention phone calls that often went on for hours in another room with a guy she said was 'a friend'. A week later she told my brother to move out because she wanted to be on her own for a while but even before he had moved out she had a guy in the house (not overnight) who she knew from msn or something. She continues to tell my brother they have a future and that she wants more children with him but at the same time her chat profiles etc make it clear she is single (and happy to be single). Is she playing him for a fool? I think so but I need a second opinion.

Theres this girl in my history class who kinda has been glacing at me. Like last week she broke the ice and out of nowwhere seemed interested in me. Sitting near me, smiling at me talking, to me, looking my way whenever I was talking to my friend. I think theres this kid that likes her that tries to talk to her but pays she pays him no atttention. Well today in class the guy sits right next to me. The girl and the friend sat infront of me. She kinda teased me a little bit, and whenever I would say something funny she would look back and smile. And she was always playing with her hair. She didn't seem to pay the other kid any attention( the one that tries to talk with her). But she left with her friend at not me? I like her, because she is pretty and seems nice and playfull Is the other kid going to be a problem? But I was pissed off today, and she kept on looking back at me but didn't say anything? Why is she flirting with me if she has a boyfriend

Just wondering...did any of you marry a woman who was a virgin when you got married? If so, was it worth waiting for?
Did you share the same belief in waiting until marriage or was it something that you just had to accept?

(I'm just wondering because I am waiting until I am married. My boyfriend is not a virgin but completely respects my decision. I just wanted to know how other guys felt. Thanks for your answers!)

Whenever we talk he looks into my eyes and when were not talking hell look into my eyes and give a stupid smile. The other day he came to me ( who just got a 60 on her test while someone behind me got a 90) for help in class. He also told me he was looking for me at the football game but he couldn’t find me because this kid was distracting him. Is he into me or is he just being friendly?

Not really sure what to do with this. Been married for 4 years, sex hasn't been great, but I don't doubt that he is straight - since that is the first thing everyone wants to say! He's not gay! He doesn't have much confidence in himself and wasnt sexually experienced at all when we got married. I was a virgin. But I know how I like to be seduced and touched and he just does the basics (the money spots ONLY) and is fine with it. I've bought the books, instructional videos, etc but he doesn't read. He watches and then doesn't try any of the tips! Caressing, kissing, etc. Also, whenever I ask him what he wants - he says "whatever you want" and it drives me crazy cause I have no idea what to do to turn him on! There is only one thing that gets him really hot and that's talking about me being with another woman. I'm not into that so much - I feel like I'm not enough for him!?!? Are there any other guys that are out there that just can take or leave sex because they aren't good at it?

heres the situation, my wife and child live in canada, i live in the states, we've been married for over a year, and our son will be 1 years old in january. we fight constantly, my wife says that im never there for her and has extremely high expectations of what exactly i can do as a father to our son from 1200 miles away. i walk on eggshells anytime i talk to my wife because if shes angry at anyone or anything around her, she takes that anger out on me, i have to watch what i say. we've been working on immigration for me, and its taken forever because we've changed our plans at least 5 times, so we're now 1 year later and still not together. if things dont go the way she wants them to, or if i dont get the same conclusion or the same answer as she does, i get yelled/cursed at and hung up on. i constantly have to ask her to stop calling me derogatory names or trying to intentionally make me angry/annoyed. i dont know what to do

Anyone know how to use it? How do i hide all of the plastic cone looking part that will show? If i dont come up with something i will just hand-tie it and wrap the stems with ribbon. I am using 5 stems of red hydrangeas so the bouquet will be a nice size but with less stems.

First off, please tell me how old you are, and how long you've been married.
The question is, how do you handle major differences which affect both of you? Or do you have pretty much the same outlook on things so this type of thing isn't an issue?

I ask because i am trying to forsee if my issues with my 5 year bf can be solved somehow or if it's best to go our separate ways. I am a family girl, not 'too' close, but we get together to celebrate birthdays, and i sometimes go to my cousins or aunts get togethers or birthday family reunions too. My bf is totally 'allergic' to this stuff. He absolutely refuses to go to any of them, i would want him to be with me at least to the big ones, like christmas or my bday. I fear it will be trouble down the road, even more if we have children. Just to be clear, my family are nice people. I worry that if we can't even deal with this issue, what will be next? I don't want to force him, but if i go he always complains about being 'abandoned'.

We met three months ago and hung out twice. The first time was just lunch, the second time was a real date. We work next to eachother, so I see him everyday. Now for the first month, he was texting me like crazy. He would text me every morning and to say good night. I see him just about every morning he acts all cool but he stopped the texting everyday. Dude is 37...what is his deal here? I have a clue, just want to see if mine matches up to others...then I can let this "boy" go. I thought they get more mature the older they get? ; )

Thanks for all the advice - it is just hard as I have been divorced for 7 years. I am very attractive (not an ego thing) and it seems that men are afraid of me. So I am so alone. They all assume that I am with someone - and he is amazing. He has an amazing body and mind. He makes time stand still. I never would have gone out with him in the first place if I didn't feel that it would be good (as the papers were filed, he was in his own place, and he said it was way over). I am actually the one that pushed him back to his family for his daughters sake. I do believe in karma and do know that this is not a good thing. Thanks again for being so kind - I am just so sad!

My husband and I were about to separate, thought he understood the situation, however last night he has asked for one more chance. Our issues have been going on for 3 years, we have been to counselling, that did not go so good, I have given 100% to the marriage and things have not gotten any better, I am so depressed and have lost myself, I don't' feel the same anymore and I want to be happy again not just for myself but for my child. I don't have enough faith in us as a couple to give him one more chance, as I don't want to get let down again, I don't have the strength. Also he refuses to leave the house, any ideas how to handle this one?
