One in which, although husband and wife works. The wife makes much more money than the husband and pays the bulk of the bills, ie mortgage, utility bills, car payments, while the husband just helps out where he can ie food expenses, not able to provide too much because he is still is paying back student loans.

My engagement ring was handed down from my fiances family so I would like to keep it. I can get it on my finger, but it is very hard to get it off. I am worried about getting it enlarged because I don't want it to be noticable. I have had rings made smaller and noticed where it was cut on the back. Has anyone had their ring enlarged and been happy with it? What is the aveage cost to go up a size?

I will have it looked at and ask for an estimate, but I live a distance from any jewler and do not get there often. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks so much

Was it your choice to quit your job to be a fulltime housewife after you have gotten married or your husband's suggestion?

Any thoughts of going back to work?

I don't like celebrating "couple events" because I always feel claustrophobic. It has nothing to do with my wife, who I love very much. I've always felt this way about Valentines, New Years, and other events that are very couple-centric.

Since when is marriage just a piece of paper and a ring? It seems to have "lost it's value" in today's society. Are we that morally bankrupt?

My wife asked me if the blue dress made her look fat.

Knowing that my wife loves me because I have been honest with her for so long - I told her that she looked like the Goodyear blimp.

I hope that she gets this out of her system before we go out tonight..............

We have been together for 8yrs and married for 1 year. No infidelity, physical abuse, or drug use. Just BAD communication between us. She said that she is just "fed up" and wants a divorce. My wife and I have been separated for 3 months and about a couple of weeks ago we started going to marriage counseling. In the first session, she told me and the therapist that she's only here to help me and that she still wants a divorce. That she doesn't want to take the RISK of returning back to me. Now that we are on our 4th session, it seems like MC has been useful. She seems to be more into the therapy sessions and has not bought up the divorce. For all the ladies that have left their husband, once you have decided to leave your husband, do you ever change your mind and come back. I dont know what is her intentions. I dont want any regrets if I decide that I had enough with the waiting for her to make her up mind and proceed with filing the divorce myself. 8 yrs is a long time to throw away

ok I've been married almost 5 years and my husband works and I am the housewife with a four year old at home. I'm overweight and trying to fix it because my husband has voiced to me that he thinks the excess weight is "unattractive". Anyway I have chores I do dishes, laundry etc. My husband has always told me that my opinion matters to him but lately if I disagree with him and don't agree to his opinion and I get upset and raise my voice (because I have my opinion and I'm not just going to have his all the time) he blocks out my cable TV totally and either blocks my internet totally or just my favorite webpages. If I want to watch something it's "trash" if he wants to it's ok. (not porn-we are Christian) He uses the "submission" and "obedient" verses as to what I'm suppost to be and since he hasn't "hit" me he can treat me like this. My family is just up in arms, what do I do? He can make my life hell if I don't "submit". Suggestions...?

I am in the middle of a dilemma. My best friend and her boyfriend have found an apartment and want me to move in with them. The price is very good, and the location is awesome. I do not feel like a third wheel when I am with them, however I am afraid that when I move in, I won't have any say. They want me to pitch in for furniture, which is fine but It has to be my friend's way and what she wants, and i have different ideas than her. I want to move in but I am afraid that I will feel like I am living in their apartment rather than sharing the apartment. Should I move in, and how do i tell my friend my opinion without making her mad, what do i say? Also, she wants to have a housewarming party, and on the invitation she wrote down only her and her boyfriend's name, not mine.

My wife and I have lived apart for over 1 1/2 years, (divorce pending) but we remain friends and even get together about twice per month for a few drinks. Total platonic relationship.

I have started dating someone who believes I should not be seeing her anymore, and it is a source of conflict.

My new friend admits she is jealous, but that does not change the facts.

I say, my (ex) wife is just a friend, and has nothing to do with what we have together. ( which is pretty darn good)

What say you???????

My Husband's work sent us Over Seas on a 2 yr. assignment that ended 6 months in when I found out he was having a sordid affair with a Prostitute. I Trusted him with All my Heart & defended his honor. He was my Hero.
I didn't question his large cash withdrawals & his Many, Many late nights . He has always been a Good provider & I thought a "Work Aholic". I believed his LATE Nights were due to "Meetings, Re: "The Project" we were on & that he was really Meeting "with the guys across the Island for a night cap". This was a HUGE assignment that he was heading up and & I had met & had dinner with the "S'pore Team" & I was actually "Proud of his Accomplisments" & his Good Standing in the Co.
I discovered his Betrayal on July 20, 2007 when he forgot his Mobile Phone at home, to find out this was his "life line" to his prostitute.
He spent $24,000. on her! I have been DEVASTATED! No words BIG enough to explain! I am IN Counseling .
Anyone been thru this? Did U forgive?

What would you do? Me and my husband have been married for almost 5 years, but have been together for eight years. When we first starting dating he told me had Leukemia, I have now found out that was a lie. A couple of months ago I went to his ex-employer to pick up his check, and was talking to the lady in the office and she asked me how he was doing since he has melanoma, which he does not have. I have noticed that he lies all the time. He lost his job, because he stayed out all the time. He has not worked in 3 months and we do not have the money to pay our bills. He had an interview last week and is probably going to get the job; the problem is that it is only part-time. It would hurt us more for him to take the job, because we have to start back paying daycare full time and the job is in another city, and gas would cost a lot more. We have two children and I feel like that the only reason he is there is because he has no where else to go and I am supporting him. I love him but I am tired of being stressed out over bills and his attitude with me and the children. What should I do? Should I tell him to leave? It would devastate my children if he left. He has two children from a previous marriage that he hardly ever sees, and they live in the same town.
