Marriage & Divorce - 24 July 2007

Many people suggested going to a pastor for marriage counselling, but my husband and I are Catholic....the Catholic Church has priests , not pastors and ministers, do priests provide that service? My husband and I grew up as Catholics, and I went to Catholic school when I was little, but to be honest we don't go very often. Also the Catholic Church is so different from other churches. it just seems colder and not as involved with the parishioners. Should I try another Church?

Why?

Thanks,

I love to hang out with other couples. My husband gets irritated by most of my friends. Granted, I only have 4 friends and he only likes 2 of them. I love to entertain at the house and he always gave me a hard time until finally I just gave up and now we don't even have cocktail parties anymore. I know he has issues with people being in our house and that is something he has to work on so I've tried so hard to be understanding.
He says it's selfish of me to make him hang out with people he doesn't like, that it is fake. I want to share my life with my friends and the man I love....but I have to keep the 2 worlds apart and it makes me very sad. I feel very alienated from everyone because of him. He NEVER stops me from seeing my friends, but I would love to hang out together sometimes...
Someone suggested that he is being very selfish and I'm wondering if I am being fair to him....and to myself.???? Do I assert my position on this issue or let it go??

I dont want him to talk to me, or tuch me, or anything. Everything he does drives me nuts, and we have only been married for 4 months, The trouble started when I had to work more Hrs. and I asked him to help with the house work and he tried but ended up screwing it up and I had more work then help. I also asked if he could help with the dishes how hard is that. I feel like i married an idot. Help me try to understand why men can't do anything right. or at least men explain to me why you don't know or want to do the things we ask. please my marrige is at stake.

I talked to my wife (who has been in germany for the last 5 weeks) today, and she told me she was going for a job interview.
She didn't come right out and say it, but to me she was saying she was staying there (why else would she be interviewing)
She is supposed to come back next week. She was mad at me for not supporting her in this decision, and told me should would never have a career in the USA. (we are still going through paperwork for her citizenship).
What am I supposed to do? Long term relationships where you can't see eventually being together don't last. I know women get lonely, and she'll find someone else, thats just the way people are.
She is the nice girl, I always looked for.
What should I do, i am heartbroken?

5 years ago my mother in law had financial trouble and lost her house and car. I loaned her my truck (extra) and let her move in with us, remind you 5 years ago, until she could get back on her feet. she has been working ever since and she does pay rent but only enough to cover half of the monthly grocery bill. i have 2 children and my youngest which is 6 now has spent the last 5 yrs. in our room (wife and I). It has now bothered me financially, emotionally, personally, and mentaly. My wife says she can say anything to her because" thats her mother". My daughter is going to 1st grade and will be wanting her friends to spend the night soon and thats hard to do when she sleeps with us every night. She has out right told us she has no plans or intentions to leave simply because she can't afford it on her own. She refuses to look for a better paying job because she says her credit is bad and she can't find a "good paying job" because of that.... what should i do?????

First of all I want to thank all of your for the AWESOME support! I didn't know how to respond on the same page as my original question so here are my thoughts re: what some of you have said... wouldn't you think that someone that comes from an abusive situation as a child/adolescent wouln't want to treat others that way because of how bad it made them feel instead of carrying it on into their adult life and treating others the same way that they have been or seen parents treated? You would think that they would want to do the opposite. Smother their partner with affection and kindness. I just don't get it! To experience this mental/emotional/verbal abuse is just bizarre to me. Believe me, I don't back down ,cry, beg, etc etc. I stand up for myself and fight back. I'm just confused by this behavior...I feel like why can't he see how he is acting and notice that it's not normal? Oh, believe me...he's on his way out. PS...you guys are THE BEST!

Me and my ex have a 2 year old baby boy , we have already been through the courts and that nastyness is settled and we enjoy joint custody of our boy. The court order states i should have the boy mon - wed and every other sunday she gets thur to sat and every other sunday . hahaa this is getting complicated - or at least my story telling ability lacks lol so i will cut to the chase.
for the most part we follow the schedual but week by week its always differnet . so here is the question finally , is it hard on our son to go to moms for one or two nights and then dads for one or two nights , or would it be healthier for the boy to be with each parent as long as possible and then with the other parent for as long as possible.

i didnt say what i think as to keep it unbiased

My husband is trying to get me to take his car that he owns in exchange for waiving spousal support (he's in the military). He has the majority of the furniture that was in my apartment and he still wants me to waive support. The car he is offering isn't worth that much. He wants me to take the car if I'll agree to only take half of what he needs to pay me in spousal support. ??? I'm not sure at this point what I should do. He knows that if he keeps paying me that he'll be forced to move back into the barracks, and he's already stated he's too good to live there. Any suggestions?

My mother is 52 and recently lost her husband this past January. he was her only means of support for over 30 years. She never even learned to drive. She now only has $51 a month to live on.

She has no one else to turn to and I have a family of my own to care for. I have done all that I can as far as my own finaces go. Please someone tell me where to get help.

I need you guy's to be honest...I have seen many married women who have children get out of shape, gain weight, never loose the weight, get stretch marks, have saggy boobs, and have a floppy loose stomach's from having children...Many of these women say to others that having stretch marks and other things I mentioned is a beatuiful thing it shows the mark of having a baby and that their husbands love it..Is this true guys???? Honestly, areb you still attracted to your wives afer they have had children?? would you change them if you could??? Do you wish that they would get back in shape after having children??? I have a 15 month old daughter and didnt get over weight , didnt get strectch marks, didnt get a flappy stomach,didnt get saggy boobs, and still are in great shape..My husband tells me that he is very thankful that I care enough to stay in shape and look great for him...would you guys want the same thing from your wives?

this man an i have been dating for over a year. he was planning on getting married when we met. we were nothing but friend for a very long time. no physical anything involved. two weeks before got married, things changed and our relationship went to another level physically. fast forward a few months and i realize he's starting to love me. about 3 or 4 months later he finally admits it but i don't reciprocate. a month or 2 after that he backs me into a corner and i answer. i tell him i feel the same way but i know this cannot be this way. recently he told me on more than one occassion that he wanted to have a baby with me. he actually said he could not see me having a child with anyone else. i have no intention of doing this but would like to know what changed; we always talked about how we could not bring a life in this world because he is married. so what changed his mind? i haven't changed mine. also, women, please don't ask me how i feel if my husband did this to me because he did

I dont understand these women all they do it whine and complain about their husband constantly cheating on them for yrs but yet stay married to him and i know people say she stays for many reasons like kids and money but why let a man keep making a fool of you over and over and over..Im not coldhearted and if i sound that way im sorry but i dont feel sorry for a woman like this..If she doesnt intend on leaving then stop complaining cause nobody is gonna feel sorry for her if she wont do anything about it..Anybody agree with me?
