Just asking for other opinions here. If you have snide remarks, save it.

My ex husband and I have been divorced for almost 6 years. (Very happy about that) Anyway, we have 3 daughters together. Since we split he now has a 3 year old son with a long time girlfriend (they have also split) and a 1 year old daughter with a one night stand (who is married). He sees my daughters once a week for less than 12 hours, sees his son twice a week over night and every weekend. He pays his support for his son but not for my daughters. They are very hurt because he obviously shows more attention to his son. Now I find out that he is talking to the other little girl's mother. I have told him that I do not want my daughters to know about this other child. He and this child's mother are discussing going on National TV for a paternity test. Am I wrong for wanting to protect my daughters from getting their hearts torn out again now that there is yet ANOTHER child in the picture?

What do you believe are some factors contributing to such a high divorce rate in American society?
How come there were not as many divorces as there are today in the 50's ?
What is a good way to prevent divorce from happening in the first place?

My neighbor was kind enough to help me with carrying some things out of the basement. I made him coffee and one thing led to another after talking for awhile. He really made me enjoy myself which is what really make this hard. I don't know if I should tell my husband that I was with this man or if I should keep this to myself. I can't believe I just did this. I feel like a s-l-u-t! Any advise on what I should do now?

Me and my wife recently seperated amicably. We have 2 children together, 5 and 2 and both have full time jobs. I have asked her to let me know what she expects off of me maintenance wise. Neither of us have any idea about this sort of thing.
What is the normal thing? Is it a percentage of my wage? Is it a set amount per child?

Any help will be appreciated to get us out of this rut

Why can't they accept a copy of it? They said I'd get it back but I am nervous to send it out......has any one else felt nervous about having that document leave their hands for 2 + weeks?

I'm just curious why many of you men wear panties? I recently came out to my wife and told her that I like to wear them. Initially I told her that it was because of the way they felt and they fit better, which obviosuly isn't true. She wasn't real happy with that answer and obviously didn't believe me. Finally I just told her that I liked knowing that I was wearing women's panties, and that it made me feel good and was arousing and I just like doing it. She has been prefectly accepting since that time.

I just want to know the real reason why a straight men like to wear panties. Wives, what have your husbands told you about why they do it. If your husband had just said it was something he did, take it or leave it, would it have been easier to accept?

If a man was very sweet,loving,kind,affectionate with lots of kisses,hugs and cuddling,respectful and treated you like a queen but had a low sex drive would you still marry him?

Should we keep working at advancement until we reach what we want to be?
Or
Should we stop trying so hard and accept who we are and then re-focus our energy toward our family?
If the later, at what age?

I have been married for 5 years, and for the past 3 years we have not had any form sexual intimacy, even though my husband initiates all the time. He wants us to go to counselling and I agree.

Basically I don't quite know how to tell him without sounding like a wierdo, but lately my husband has been reminding me a lot of my father!

I can't believe I didn't notice before, the way he coughs, walks, frowns as he reads the paper ... just small things.

Also I do have issues with my father, he sexually abused my sister when we were young, as a result of this, I haven't seen him for years.

I'm not really sure what my question is. I feel like a freak now and I don't know why.

I'm just not sure what to think. My hubby and I have been together for 7 years, not married but together, probably having sex for 6 years. I've been wanting to have sex a lot lately and hes been turning me down! Whats up with that? Is something going on or do men really not want sex sometimes??

I just found out my dh of 10 years cheated on me about 15 years ago when we were dating. Thing is she eventually started dating his best friend. We hung out with them alot, drinking etc. He kept trying to push me and her together to be friends yet never thought it was important to tell me about his past with her. He says it is stupid for me to be mad about it now. Do you agree?

What do you do? What about the moral issues? Or one should be man enough to control his natural desires and wait for that next special person after all the divorce mess is cleared. This is the time when vulnerability is high. Am i right?

ps. some people have told me to satisfy my natural needs. But it looks cheap to me. Suggestions and advice please...

If you had a 12 year old daughter/step daughter, and she insisted that she did not want to live with you but instead with her mom, would you let her? Her mother is a suspected crack addict (she had a baby a few years ago that had crack in his system). She gets a new job every week but has never paid a dime in support. She lives with "friends" because she can't afford her own place. Knowing all that, would you still let your daughter live with her? She is miserable with us, hates us etc...but thinks the world of her mom. We are very strict with her because we don't want her to turn out like her mother. But in the end, I am tired of insisting that she stay with us when she clearly dispises us and wishes to be with mom more than anything in the world.

Wife moved out of town, Texas to California, has been out 9 months, but will not sign divorce papers, wants to keep medical insurance benefits-reason for holding off, but won't communicate, any idea if 'D' by publication is legal in Texas?

In most states you have the option to file a "divorce by publication." Here is the basic steps.

1. Go to your local newspaper and put a divorce notice ad in the classified section. 2. Mail the divorce notice to the last known address of your spouse. 3. Wait 30 days and get a letter from the newspaper stating that the ad was posted for 30 days. 4. If your spouse no longer lives at the last known address the divorce notice will come back undeliverable. 5. Take your noncontested divorce papers with the letter from the newspaper and the undelivered notice and go to your local courthouse and file a "divorce by publication."

There are more steps and more forms to this process. But these are the main ones.

I have been living in the same state as my godson for the past 5 1/2 years. I get him almost ever other weekend. I love him very much and this was not an easy decision to come to. The state that I live in now is hours away from all of my family. I had my father up here for a couple of months but he passed away in February. This happening has made me want to be closer to my family members.
I got a new job out of state where I will be in the same city as many of my relatives.
I sat down and explained this situation to him and he seemed ok with it. I told him that I will be back to see him and he can even get on a airplane to see me. He's 6 years old. When I let his mom know, she started tell him that I was leaving him to be with my other god son (who happens to live in the state i'm moving to). She asked me how could I even consider leaving him to move someplace else. Now I am afraid that she is going to poision his mind against me. What can I do? Why is she

we broke up about half a year ago, but just now i am starting to put the pieces together.. we were together for 2 years, yet the entire relationship seemed like a progress. There was always a problem, always a fight, or he was breaking up w. me just so that he could "take me back"as his sick way of making me feel "special". He physically abused me a few times. He cheated on me multiple times but lied about it (once we broke up he bragged that he cheated on me 40 times) he is on antidepressants and aderol for god knows wat? often times i would go2his house&listen2him sob2me for hours about how sad he is. He is wreckless(just got a speeding ticket for going 140, just got a DUI for going 130, does coke, got a fake ID, drinks every day&every night, gets on anybody with 2 legs) when he broke up w/ me, he said "now that i have my meds*antidepressants* to make me happy, i dont need u anymore" & that was the end of it (he tried hooking up w/ me seconds after he brokeup w/ me when i was crying?

Why am I going crazy over this? I keep thinking my husband of 14 yrs is cheating. I have already snuck up on him at work and found nothing wrong, he still calls me every couple of hours from work to see if everythings fine, he still doesnt go out, his paycheck hours are basically accounted for. The thing is, he hasnt been too interested in sex and that makes me cautious. He blames it on his medical condition and says hes too tired and weak but I just cant seem to buy that. Why doesnt he feel that way at work when his job requires manpower? This morning for the first time, he left about an hour earlier than his usual time. Claims that there was a meeting. Again, I became angry and thought something suspicious especially after last night when he didnt want sex. What would you guys think if all other signs show no cheating but he doesnt want sex? By the way, his job requires him to be on the streets all day and in and out of homes.To me,theres plenty of time there to cheat!
