Marriage & Divorce - 15 September 2006

My wife initiated a divorce action in November 05. My lawyer requested final hearing....granted for October 20, 2006. Both of my teenage sons have been taken from their mother and placed into state custody.....and will not be released until at least one month after final. My attorney is 81 years old and has multiple sclerosis, and his wife is in hospital near death.....and he is not physically ready for trial. I do not want to do anything until my children have been released, and reports from their social workers/counselors have been received. Should I have my attorney petition the court for postponement.....should I petition?
My attorney is only doing this as a favor to me...my sister works for him....and I could not afford a "real" attorney when this action first started. We have 3 pieces of real estate and other property valued in excess of $300,000.00.........please point me in the right direction.

My fiance and I live together-he works 3rd shift-I work 2nd-He got paid the nite before and I was going to the bank when I got up in the morning-he said there might be problems cashing the check because my last name is different-hes like let my mom do it-she has the same last name-people might think we're married-this makes me feel like such a failure every time he does this-he does not let me do things for him that i think fiance's should do-like balance the checkbook, go 2 the bank, do the laundry, do the taxes, make appointments or cook the meals-his mom does all this-i now know why he doesn't stand up for me-because he can't stand up for himself-this just pisses me off to no end-that she just comes over and does the banking herself, mind you, driving to the bank in his truck and not even asking him if she can use it-the lack of personal privacy and space in his family kills me-it also makes me uncomfortable-I hate his mom so much! Please give me some advice! Thank you!!!1

My neice (16 years old) is having a very difficult time accepting her fathers girlfriend. This women used to be a close friend of the family and now she is my neices dad's main squeeze. Her dad and my sister have been divorced for 2 years, it's not as though the girlfriend had anything to do with the divorce. My neice has always been extremely close to her dad and is extremely jealous of the girlfriend. My X-brother in law is a great dad and I feel terrible that she is making his new relationship difficult for him. More important, my neice is miserable and I don't know how to help her. Any suggestions on how to deal with this issue? Any books, web sites or info. on this topic? PLEASE, SERIOUS RESPONSES ONLY!!!!!

That your spouse was "the one" ? How did you feel about it when you finally figured it out?

I dated my husband for 3 and a half years before we married. We have been married for two years.

Our first year of marriage was a breeze, and the second year was even easier.

Married life for us is actually easier than dating because his family respects our relationship more now that we are married (official).

I have a friend who knew her husband 6 months before they married, her first year of marriage was horrible.

She said adjusting to wife and husband roles were very difficult, and so is living with someone else that she is still learning stuff about.

Its actually still bad after 18 months of marriage and she wants a divorce.

Everyone says the first year of marriage is the hardest, what do you think?

Was it the hardest for you?

The father of my 2 babies won't marry me or even talk about it. He doesn't seem to forgive me for keeping the pregnancies (he wanted an abortion) and yet he says that he loves me and won't go away (we live together). We have been together 3 years and I was wondering if I am wasting my time by staying with him because I want to get married someday. Will he ever change his mind?

I recently left because we were living with her mother and the situation was out of control. When I tried to come back she told me she thinks we should spend some time apart and now is living with her mom and raising my kids without me, this has been going on for a little over 2 months now. I really love and miss my family but I do not think my wife misses me, I have been telling her I am sorry it was not her, I love her, I miss her etc... and I get nothing. Everyone tells me just leave her alone but I always have that urge to call again and tell her I love her and miss her even though it will likely get me nowhere. Any thoughts?

that when you get married, you are putting at least part of your future, your happiness, and even your whole self into someone else's hands? Because if you don't care enough about your spouse for their actions to have an impact on your life,what's the point of being with them?

Yes, we are all responsible for ourselves, but that doesn't mean no one else can affect us.

Don' t be ridiculous and tell me not to rush into getting married - I'm obviously not! I'm just trying to figure the whole thing out......

I'm very close to my family, me, my parents and my siblings all have pretty good relationships. I'm the youngest. I'm engaged, getting married next fall. My family does not really care for my fiancee. I can't help but feel bothered by this. To me, their reasons aren't legitimate. It's things like, he doesn't like to play board games that much. He's quite, not as crazy and loud like we are. He's a good person, just doesn't really fit in with "us". Which is fine with me, I'm very happy and very much in love with him, so those little things shouldn't bother me. But they do! So my question is... When knowing who to marry or choosing someone to marry, does it really matter what your family thinks?

It seems to be more slanted to the male view of marriage than most sitcoms.
One question I have though, do they have kids? I imagine if they do they have moved out, but I don't think it had been addressed.

Personally, I would never have a baby out of wedlock, but I am tradtional like that as is my wife.

However, all my friends that have children had them out of wedlock and some of them married once their child was a toddler.

I have a friend who felt obligated to stay with the girl he got pregnant even though he didn't love her. That's a situation I never wanted to be in and luckily I never will be in.

Why is having babies out of wedlock acceptable now?

It seems like no one is married before getting pregnant anymore.

What do you think about it?

I've heard of this myth, but I haven't been able to find any stastics on the number of married couples who met in college to back it up. I'm just curious to find out if it's true or not.

i read today from one website. It is about "what man want" I am now know why my ex b/f broke up with me after 1.5 years of relationship. Here are :
the 10th is charm
9th is statuegue body
8th is beautiful.
7 th is honesty
6 th is respect
5 sense of humor
4 intelligence
3 ambition-drive
2 heart of gold
1 st is love.
I think 9 (and from his saying) I have only No.10,9,7, 5,4,3 and 1. for No 6 he alway say that i am not respect or insulting to him. I said No, not at all. Our culture is different.I am asia , he is Canadian. He live in my country. I try to help him understand my culture.But it became that he felt I insulted.He told me R-e-s-p-e-c-t is big things. Now we broke up. Love, ambition, intelligence, honesty is not enough for this guy. i sad and happy when i think about him now. My english is not great. forgive me ? i try so hard to explain my feeling now in english. what about your comment "what man want from his gf.list" Can you be whole of this list?

I learned to love my husband , i wasn't drawn to him as most of the guys I've dated . I was never hot for him but when you love someone you create your own spark. We have recently spilt due to his neglect of me(did not have an affair) but I'm considering giving him another chance since he seems to be trying really hard to change but I have lost that little bit of spark that I once had for him. How important is sex / chemistry. Do you think that one can learn to create chemisty in bed or does it just happen?

My boyfriend is a great guy. I love him, I like him, I trust him, I'm very attracted to him. I don' t want to be with anyone else. We've talked about marriage, but the thought of it still kind of scares me. Is it just the thought of putting so much of my future in someone else's hands? Has anyone else felt this?

I confronted him about the problem and he was very honest and vowed to stop the relationship and spend the rest of his life making up for the lying. He claims that he wanted to tell me, but he didn't really know how as this relationship started up long before we met and she has recently been contacting him more. What I want to know is whether I should forgive his indiscretion or is this just the first step in a lifetime of distrust? I know that he loves me and feels terrible about hurting me but what if he is lying....help.
