Assume for the sake of discussion that doing so is permitted by law at the beach you happen to hypothetically be visiting.

Also, the term "let" as used in this post, is intended to infer that her doing so against your will is a knowing decision on her part to terminate the relationship.

I have known my fiancee for six years and we met in College. Throughout our college years I was solely committed to him, although he was not the same. He cheated and had other girlfriends (unbeknown to me at those times). We have broken up, gotten back together and now since being engaged... I question one.. if he will be faithful, but most of all... if because I never dated anyone else if I am missing out on someone else. I've always had this friend (a guy) and he's always told me I deserve better and he's always been so sweet to me and we've always talked about being a couple jokingly... and now I wonder. Is it cold feet? I've tried talking to him (my fiancee) and he says that he loves me more than anyone and his commitment of proposing is his end all of all the cheating and it would kill him if we break up now. I don't know what to do... any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Does it make a difference to YOU if she rewashes her face, maybe reapplies her makeup, a squirt of perfume and out of those house clothes and just overall makes an effort to look and smell decent? Or could you care less if you walk in her hair in a knot, scrubby clothes, greasy face? Serioiusly, are our efforts noticed enough to make a difference?

I was just reading a topic about "Why do men stare at pretty women?" And the truth is, all men don't. I have to give it to my fiance'. When we're out and about he gives me his full attention. One time while we we're out, a beautiful young lady walked by and he turned to me and said, you are so beautiful to me. It's like they're not even in the room :). Yeah, sometimes he may glance, but it's not a "DAMN" glance, it's a "another person just walked in the door" glance. You feel me? I don't stare either. I think it is very disrespectful and rude to your partner. Yes, God did make beautiful human beings out there, but if you are married or in a serious relationship, that doesn't mean you have to lust after every women or man you see. I hate to be out and see a man who is with his lady stare me down. YULK! Grow up!!!

My husband always managed to come up with some sort of explanation why we should not try for a child now. It's only until last month that he admitted that he did not want me to get pregnant because he did not think our relationship was good enough. Surprise-surprise. Well, I knew we had to work at it, but had no idea that he made such decision solely. We have been together for 6 years and I feel like he manipulated me. I feel sad and can't help resenting him. How can I forgive him if I feel so betrayed? How can I trust him if he was not forthcoming with the truth? I am not that young now.

A married couple I know were having problems. They decided a separation might help and the wife left the state with the children and went across the country for about a year to live w/her parents. The husband supported this seperation, but had an agreement w/the wife and the inlaws that the children would only live with their grandparents, and that the wife and kids would return at the end of the school year. At no point did the father consent to let his children move across country indefinately. This was a verbal agreement between the father, the wife and the inlaws. Well, the couple have decided to divorce, but the wife appears to be refusing to return the children back to their home state. Does the father have any right to make his wife return with his children to their home state so he can have as normal a relationship with them as possible? They are still married and he never agreed to allow the children to move away indefinately.

i am so confused, and hurt. okay i've been married for two years almost, i love my husband, and i believe he loves me. there have been a few occasions where he'll get into a blind rage and he'll hurt me. once he busted my ear drum, but that was the worst of it and that happend two years ago. it would randomly happen every so often, a couple months then it stopped for about a year, then last saturday we got into an arguement and i got socked in the back of the head a couple of times. well he does his song and dance routine, where he swears he isn't ever going to do it again, i told him already last time, that if he ever did it again, that i would leave him, and i don't. i told him i don't want to be a statistic, i don't want this to happen anymore, blah blah blah, he always says the same thing, should i just leave it up to stress, or should i file for a divorce? or is it just random occurence,

My husband had to work in another country four months ago. We kept in touch by long distance calls. Lately he has not been calling frequently as he used to. When I asked why he did not call, he said he missed me so much, and that my voice would turn him on but he could not see me. So it would be painful to him to talk everyday to me
I don`t think this is a good excuse, because I feel better after I speak to him on the phone.
Guys, do you think he is telling the truth, or he is just not missing me enough to call me everyday?

Just curious: How long did you date before getting engaged or married?

My boyfriend and I have dated three years and we want to wait another two before getting engaged/married. We're in no rush...

Just wondering if others have waited that long or longer... And, what do you consider too long?

Just curious. I know a few married people and just people who are in relationships who have a myspace account and who have found old flames, friends and new flames and friends and..... you know the rest. What do you all think? I'm engaged and I have an account, but it's set to "private" so everyone can't view. I think that can help alot. My fiance' doesn't care if I have one. He doesn't have one. As a matter of fact, he didn't even know what it was until I told him about it. LOL! What you do you all think, could this hender anyone's marriage?

I am the poster from last Thursday that was in a pickle over meeting a beautiful couple on a swinger site. Well, i met the couple this weekend and the wife was prettier than her pictures showed. I told them that my wife was in Europe. We had drinks together and they took me home.

So is this cheating when hubby approves?

I have 4 children with my husband of 9 years. We have been through hell and back together. The problem... he lets his dad control our lives. He has to ask his dad for his opinion on EVERYTHING. He will ask mine and then he has to go make sure it is ok with daddy before doing anything. To make matters worse they work for the same company and we live across the street from them. I didnt want to move here and I can't handle the stress of living this close to the inlaws. (We moved her in October) I told him I didnt want to move here but he REFUSED to look anywhere else and we had to move out of the house we were at. I don't believe divorce is the answer but I also don't believe my children should think this is healthy. What would you suggest? How do I make things work when I am sooo sick of trying without him trying? Thanks

I see nothing wrong with an open marriage as long as you still love each other but need sex on the side for fulfillment of the sex side of marriage.

i know my husband loves me but it hurts me when he is looking at other woman! He thinks its no big deal because they are on Tv or the internet. But its not okay with me!! And like one of the shows he watches is Taping of a night club we used to go to a lot, that is not that far away from us. And he likes to watch it to check out the half naked woman.......I hate this, What can I do?

I recently re-connected with a guy I was friends with like 20 years ago via the internet. We were close friends in our teens and have kept in touch sporadically over the years. We have both felt some romantic interest in the past, however the timing was always wrong...either he was with someone or I was, etc. so nothing ever moved beyond friendship.

I have been divorced for three years and he just barely got divorced this month. We have talked about perhaps going beyond friendship this time, but his divorce is so fresh that he has not breached the topic of dating again to his ex-wife.

My question: Do you really need to let your ex-spouse know you're going to start dating again once you are divorced???

They do share custody of a child, but we've agreed that I wouldn't even meet the child until such time as we knew the relationship was going to be serious.

Am I wrong here? Does this seem odd? How long should I give him to tell his wife he wants to date someone?

For all those guys who have fallen in love and have married to their true love, has your love changed after marriage (and/or kids)?

Guys, I've always thought myself to be a pretty hard-working, totally independant woman who's confident in my looks and abilities. I've recently gotten engaged and have gladly given up a portion of the lead role to my soon-to-be husband. And though I would have NEVER considered myself to be "insecure" I overheard him saying that about me to his buddy, not in a "talk about me" kind of way, but in a "statement" kind of way. I was flabergasted! Admitedly there was a situation with is ex that prompted me to feel insecure - to make it short they have children together but I KNOW she was putting the moves on him. Anyway, what I want to know is how can I now disassociate myself from this horrible title of "insecure" without be too abrupt as to further damage the relationship? How can a woman keep her own seperate life but still be "marriage" material in your eyes? It seems we women are damned if we are too independant and damned if we are too needy. What is the middle ground?
