For single people to want to be married, and for married people to want to be single or married to someone else?

How many of you would say "I'm content with where I am" (married/singlewise)?

Hey guys... I was hoping for some advice.
I'm 20 years old and my fiance is 45 years old. I'm also a few weeks away from giving birth. I'm so happy but my mother has been going to extreme lengths to break our engagement off because of the age difference. She has gone as far as to trying to get my fiance deported back to Russia (which didn’t work because he’s here legally). It’s getting ridiculous. I thought she would stop when she found out that we were expecting, but she didn't. I know that it's a lot for her to handle, it is a really huge age gap, I try so hard to be understanding, but I can't leave my fiance for her. I really don’t want to have to cut her out of my life… she *is* my mother, after all. But I don’t know what I can do to find a solution. I’m getting pretty desperate. Any suggestions, advice?

Thanks!

I am in a long term relationship that is very good. I have a once in a lifetime opportunity to take a job in a different country. My partner can't move for at least 6 months and she might not even find a new job in the new city. I want the job but it makes me extremely sad (and somewhat non-functional) to think that I will be without her or that we have to be long-distance. What do I do?

I often get into an argument about this with my husband but our 6 and 10 yr old do not listen to me. I have to repeat myself often and raise my voice and am getting poor results. I know a kid needs to be a kid but this is a situation where they dont mind or respect me. I'm constantly saying stop kicking me , breaking things of mine in the house, no you cant have 5 pudding cups for dinner , no coloring on my bed sheets with crayons. My husband says im too hard on them especially the 6 yr old . Please help

I am 45. I have always felt that I had the ability to be successful with my own business. To this point, I have had lots of ideas, but no success. I want to be able to provide for my family whatever they need. You know, pay for college, help purchase a vehicle etc. I have not gotten to that point yet and it really bothers me. I feel that I have let my family and myself down. Is this common?

i was in a fight with my mom and i started crying on the stairway. She keept on saying come on christina lets watch the movie! I just keep on crying. She finaly came over and said,"What is wrong would you please tell me?" in a strict voice. I said well sometimed i have weird feelings that you dont love or care for me. i say this because if she really loved or cared for me she would be more understanding, she would come over and say whats wrong and try to make me feel better but no.She just said your wrong and im sorry you feel this way and hurt.she left. i went down the stairs to get a tissue and fell down the stairs preety hard. my mom came over and helped me to the couch. I clamed down and asked for a tissue i was hurting inside and out iwent over to her and said i need a hug.By then i was calm. She pushed me off her and said stop. I just couldent believe it.

Being a dad, sometimes one of the kids will speak hatefully and out of line in a way I don't allow in the house, which triggers them getting sent to their rooms to cool off or to the proverbial "time out chair", and often while they are on the chair they continue to be hateful and mean. So I keep upping the time they have to spend sitting there until they finally stop spouting and obey the quiet rule on the chair.

The problem is that my wife thinks that I should just ignore whatever crap they are spouting while they're in the punishment zone, which strikes my as being the same thing as saying " of any crime committed while in prison doesn't increase the time an inmate has to spend" -- and she won't let up on the criticality for hours, even after the kid is off time out and has accepted the correction, gone back to happy, etc.

At which point I don't see a way to fix things and usually just have to walk away -- which really doesn't help either.

Suggestions?

I'm married 31 years old and having an emmotional affair with the man at work. Can someone tell me why this have happened and how to fight this? I have a loving husband and I love him too. He will do anything for me I feel like I don't deserve him. He even told me that I can go with the other man if it is going to make me happy. I feel so stupid and I act like a stupid at work .You can read on my face that I like this man. Cannot control my self, just getting angry at home with my husband and at work with the man I like. I don't want to like him and don't want this to happen to me. My husband is only man I have ever had and I want this to be like that.

I am the youngest of seven. There is a 23 year gap between my older brother and myself. We have only been able to form a cordial sibling relationship because ever since I can remember he has had a family and kids.

His wife died three years ago. The rest of my siblings were all too happy to move in and take over his funeral arrangements but have not kept in touch with him since. I call him every Sunday night, and he always tells me I'm the only one in the family he ever hears from. I am especially pissed at my second third and fourth oldest brother about this, because the first two grew up under the same roof with him, and he took the third one in for a full summer when he and my dad were fighting.

The sibling Christmas party is coming up. They usually get drunk and are busybodies at these gatherings. My oldest brother (who is a recoverd alcoholic) is hurt, and does not plan to go. My wife and I are planning not to attend either to support him in this. Your thoughts?

this a follow up to a previous question of mine, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArBjXYXT987_8K9ZA8.UpQDsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071109185145AAsPQMP
Before I talk to him, i'm just a little nervous (but this apprehension goes away once he responds) I look forward to talking to him. After talking to him, I always feel like we've had a good conversation, and we always end up talking for 2, 3 hours. I always get a good feeling and like we have a connection, but I don't understand why he doesn't seem to show any initiative to be my friend. i even invited him to an event at my school (i asked him indirectly, because i didnt want it to seem awkward) , but he didn't seem too interested to go. If I see him(which is not often), its a little awkward because I always feel nervous, and I'm always the one to say hello first. I don't understand how we can get along so well online, and have great conversations (I don't talk to anyone else I know in the same way) but he still doesnt seem to care

For my own personal interest, I'd like both men and women to share their marriage expiriances.

How old were you when you got married?
Did you regret getting married at that time?
Did both parents support your decision ?
Was married life different from what you think it would be like?
Did it work out?

Thankyou=]

My mother-in-law gave my husband a birthday card with a half naked chick on the front with suggestive wording and sexual content - I find this bizarre when its a card from his mother and 2 nieces who are 11 and 13 - it wouldn't bother me if it was from a guy friend. I was so shocked when he opened it and she kept saying to me "did you read it? ha ha ha" - I am so annoyed or am I overreacting?

I think my husband spends way too much time with his friends and I am ready to leave him over this. Every weekend ist golf, cards, or something.

I am just about ready to leave him over this. We have not talked the past two days, I told him to go talk to his friends since he loved them so much. And our sex life is non existent over this. Why give him any, if he isnt willing to spend time with me? He is getting ready to deploy in less than a month and I dont think it's much to ask, to stay with me.

What should I do? I feel useless and not needed in this marriage. I honestly think that if he were married to his friends he'd be happier as would I.

Okay, I have a really good friend who is best friends with this guy right? Well they hang out all the time and do almost everything together. They sleep together on a regular basis. He calls her numerous times through out the day just to talk to to find out how things are going or what they are going to do that night. But, they aren't officially dating although my friend would like that to be. She is being patient and not pressuring him into making the relationship go further. Are they really together or not and if not, any suggestions on what she shold do to make her intentions clear?
