Marriage & Divorce - 21 August 2007

We have a 3 week old and I am a stay at home mom, as any new parents know a newborn is a hand full. Its hard to keep up with the house and my baby during the day. I cook dinner every night and usually end up finishing the cleaning at the end of the night when I "go to bed"...which means I try to sleep in between getting up every two hours to feed the baby, burp him, change him and rock him to sleep. The problem in all this is that my husband seems to think that his only responsibility is to complete his 8 hour work day,come home and relax. Most days he takes a 2 hour or more nap when he gets home and then goes to bed fairly early. I could really use some help with our child at that time as I have to try and cook dinner. And the weekends are his self proclaimed "slacker time". Which means I continue to clean up after him and get up at night with the baby with little or no help from him. When I bring this up he tells me how hard his job is and that he would trade me any day. What to do??

Are we related by blood or through marriage? Because we are veeeeery close. I call my sister-in-law's aunt ''my aunt (whatever her name is)'' But are we related by blood or through marriage?

My brother just got married 2 years ago. They have 2 kids--one who was his wife's with another man, and the other they had together before they got married.

He used to date a lot when he was younger, and this one girl me and my family wanted him to marry. She is now back in the picture 5 years later, and he keeps making secret dates with her and talking to her behind his wifes back. She told me all of this today, and she was thinking about leaving him. I dont know if i should say anything to my brother, or the girl or if i should just shut up and let what happens happen...

Ever since we have had our last child 3 years ago, our sex life is not the same. We have sex an average amount, but I usually am not in the mood. I work 1st shift and he works 2nd during the school year, so I though I was just tired, but we are both here all summer and things still are the same. I have put on weight and feel uncomfortable could that be whats up? I really don't want to go see a counselor since we cannot go together, I just want my sex drive back!

My ex-wife brought my two girls to live with me full time in November of 2006. Since that time, I have paid for all they need or want. I have taken care of medical bills, cost of school functions, etc., out of my own pocket. We have joint custody but she reamains thier "primary guardian" on paper. The ex only keeps the girls two days a month and has nothing more to do with them, no phone calls, cards, etc.. I am still paying her child support even though the girls live with me, because I can't afford the four thousand dollars the attorney wants to go back to court to amend my divorce decree. Can I get my divorce decree amended w/o having to go back to court? Are there other options I haven't thought about? Please help. PS. We live in Georgia.

I am very close with my brother's wife and the rest of her family but I have trouble when I try to describe our relationship to other people. Is there a term for the parents and siblings of your sister-in-law? What about her cousins, aunts, and uncles? But we are all related through marriage though right? Please tell me. Am I related to my sister-in-law's family through marriage?

My husband and I have always taken turns initiatating sex. But it always ends up being about him. He says thats the way its suppose to be since he provides for our family in other ways. We have been married approx. 3yrs and we never had problems before. Actually it was the other way around. He refuses to talk about it and I'm not sure what to do. I would like to have my love life back.

So I'm not sexually attracted to my bf...so what? It happens. I just don't have the energy to cheat on him, and there's more at stake, so I can't just dump him. He's a good guy, but I'm just not into him. There's no desire or passion. He sucks in bed, ok. There, I said it! And me not being sexually attracted to him doesn't help matters, cause I don't care to make a move either. We're just not compatible. Ok; I get it. But we used to be compatible. I used to be attracted to him in every way. Now, not so much. What's my deal?

It's like he wants something to be wrong. I had just opened my eyes...hadn't even gotten out of bed yet. He works nights. So he starts asking me what wrong. Nothin, why? He says, well because it just seems like somethings wrong. I said, I just woke up, I haven't even gotten up yet. Nothing's wrong. He asks are you sure? Um...yeah!
Now this goes on everyday! WHY????? He does the same thing with his son...always trying to pry out of us what's wrong, even if there really isn't anything wrong! What's his deal?

Newbie to divorce. Kids but grown. In a state where you have to live separate for a year. What are some qualities to look for in a divorce lawyer? Can you do it without a divorce lawyer?

Indicating the psychological impact and reactions, solutions to misappropriated responses gained from abuse and neglect. ie how to survive a second marriage, recognize patterns of old behavior and how to fix it. I haven't found a book on this.

obviously i want nothing more than to clean the street with her face, but that really wont solve anything or erase the past. but i feel like that if i dont approach her, i am letting her walk all over me. but is there even a point in confronting her? i seriously doubt that she cares that i was hurt. any advice?

A few weeks back I was watching the news when a story came on about a girl that was shown being kicked, stamped and stoned by a huge group of men because she had fallen in love with a boy. It showed the whole thing and the part when they eventually killed her by dropping a concrete slab on her head and then they all carried her body off, this was in iraqi or somewhere not sure, but its really stuck in my mind could not believe what I was seeing it disgusted me.

Is it normal to not file for divorce for two years already? The guy I'm with is saying that he's waiting for his ex to file because it was her decision to get a divorce. Plus he wants her to pay for it. Is the postponment normal?

All of your ex's shrunk to 3-inches tall and standing on the counter! They seem really scared as you lean in to make sure they are real! You poke one with your finger and he falls down! What would you say and/or do with them all!?
