We are tinkering with the idea of breaking up our one month during the summer into two seperate time frames, but I was wondering if my step son's mother would still get her one weekend like she does when we keep him for a whole month.

My wife and I have 3 young children....all 3yrs or younger. I go to work everyday and my wife stays at home with the kids and REALLY works. When i get home in the early evening its a madhouse....lol.... but I help out with bath and always put the kids to bed so she does not have to. Recently we have hired a babysitter to come during the days...so if she needed to run out....she can.....without having to pack the kids in the van and go...

Bottom line is........ I want to do something special for her. She needs to get away....and we plan to go somewhere (just the two of us...in a few months) but I want her to get time alone.

Any ideas on what I can do.... or where I could send her for a few days? Perhaps a spa....or a conference?

Thanks...

I was on drugs. She wants kids. The morning she left, she kissed me on the head and said "I don't want a divorce". I've gone to rehab and I'm sober. She told me she's confused and then cut me off. What do I do. We've been together since I was 16. I adore her and she loves me. She won't talk to me because she knows that I can talk her into coming back. I put a big strain on her trust but only with issues involving money and drugs. She knows I've been loyal and that I love her. I've never been abusive. She just wants to start a family and now that I'm sober so do I. I just want to be able to meet her needs emotionally, financailly and physically. Her family has money and is threatening to disown her if she reconciles with me. She's afraid of that. She's told me that she still loves me since she left. I know we can be happy. How do I get her to look me in the eyes and see it? That's all I need to do to I just need to know how to make it happen. Any unique ideas?

Here's the situation:
I'm in college and working at the same time, while my wife is currently unemployed, staying at home raising our daughter. I graduate in May and I need financial assistance. I keep asking my wife to go look for a job just to help out, but she keeps making excuses to avoid work/school. What should I do?!!

I have been with my finance for 2yrs 1/2. we met in pittsburgh Pennsylvania were we both went to school. i am from Michigan were we live now an have good jobs. his family is expecting us to have the wedding near his home town. his family is very stubborn and would complain about the traveling. my family wouldn't mind the travel. but neither one of us has time to be running back and fourth to his home town to make the arrangements. i figure we get married were ever we moved and Michigan is were we moved. he wanted to stay close to home but didn't want to live to close because he has his own business that isn't expanded to far yet. i don't know what to do..he really don't care were we have the wedding but he will be hurt if his family doesn't come. i think that would be so wrong. Im confused an want his family as well as mine to join us...but planning a wedding 5.5 hours away from the location is hard we both have B.S in culinary management so its hard to take of in a restaurant! HELP!

I'm really attracted to this guy that is married,and he's very sexy.I've never messed with a married man before, but I think he's attracted to me too,because he does things that a married guy shouldn't do,but we've never had sex or anything like that,just other things that if his wife saw, she would probably get mad.I'm afraid that if the opportunity arises,that I will succumb to temptation,and I've been cheated on before,and it's not a good feeling,so what should I do? REMEMBER, PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD AFFAIRS ONLY!!!!!

Seriously though why do some people hate saying other people, happy? I could be in my house all day playing with my kids, watching a movie or playing a game on the pc, but then all of a sudden someone calls my husband and tells him I did this or I said that, I mean I haven't been out my house all day, so how the **** can they say I did or say something when I am in the house? I try not to hate people but some of my husbands family and friend make me wanna hate them to the 5th power. I tell him about it but he be like they my friends.Also the two friends he has, has comminent problems, they don't know how to stay with their wives and stop messing with other women. Should I be worried my husband might cheat on me also by the way his friends act? They don't see nothing wrong with it? Or should I just leave him and move on with my life with someone who family and friends will accept me? Since he has those type of friends and some family members does that mean he is like that too?

She explained to me she hates my husband and told me I had to choose between him or her! What the heck ... she's married and has had her fair share of hard times, and dicovered there is no perfect marriage. She said that she can't be in my life as long as I am married to him. What do you think?

My hubby and I are having a debate on this subject. I say that you might "love" the person that you are with, but you are not "in love" with them if you are cheating on them. He seems to think that you can be "in love" with someone and still cheat on them. What do you all think?

My husband and I will be separating in 3-4 months, right after I give birth to our son. We have been together for 10 years, married 1. I believe he has cheated on me and he even says he wants some freedom. I will move 3 hours away and we are going to see what happens. We're currently attending counseling but still think we need to separate to figure out what we each really want. Any success stories of separation out there?

He says I'm stubborn and he's always on her side.. NEVER my side. Isn't marriage supposed to be a teamwork? She's always in our business. She wanted to tell us what to wear at our own wedding. What can I do about this?

My ex-husband and I have been divorced for about two months. We had a daughter together that will be 3 months in 2 weeks. The court gave me full custody and said my husband could see her whenever he liked as long as he contacted me.

Well today I get a call from my ex. He said that he doesn't want to see Ava (our daughter) anymore because he got his new girl pregnat and he didn't want Ava to see the baby. I was so shocked! He cares more about his new lady and his new baby more than his own daughter!

We live in different states and we are not near each other by cities at all, so this will be easy for him. He doesn't want pictures, letters, e-mails,IMs or anything from/about her at all.

He also says he's going to stop paying child and spousel support. How can I get over the pain and make sure I get child and spousel support that the court ordered to give me 2 months back? Any advice will be appreaciated.

my husband and i have been married more than 5 years, together for nearly 7, and in the beginning we were best friends, and never wanted to be apart from each other. we had an argument the other day, not really a forceful one and i said to him " it feels like we're not even married any more. you know?" he said yes real quietly, and i said "doesn't that bother you?" and he answered yes, it does. It's the first time he's shown any indication that he's hurting as much as me and wants to fix it. Since then, we have been real careful to respect each other, and be friendly again, but does anyone have any ideas maybe to start over and keep on that good path we started? oh, we have a 5 year old autistic child, so it is a factor in our stress.

I've been divorced for 2 yrs now. I'm expecting a baby from my new husband and yet my ex still won't let go. He keeps calling me and playing sad love songs on my voicemail. And he keeps telling me that it should be his baby I'm carrying and he's even passed by my work a few times. I don't know what to do. I threatened to call the police and he hasn't driven by my job anymore, but he won't quit calling and texting me. I am changing my number, but he sends me letters in the mail as well. What should I do?

My hubby has been working non-stop all summer. The last couple of nights he has wandered in around 2:00 in the morning. He is NEVER home for dinner and leaves first thing in the morning. I have been asking for some time with him for over a month. Nothing big...just a movie. He has yet to take me. However, he does manage to take a break from work to go and play soccer. I feel like a single parent. I work, cook, clean, and play with the kids all on my own. The hubby does take the kids to his soccer games and lets them come to work with him sometimes, but I am lonely. I appreciate the fact that he is ambitious and a hard worker, but is it too much to ask for a little attention? Hopefully, the non-stop work hours end soon. I NEVER complain, but the one time I mentioned that I felt overwhelmed his response was "quit feeling sorry for yourself". Sorry...that was long. Anyway, do you think I am being unreasonable?
Oh, for those of you that suspect cheating...he's not.

What does this mean in your point of view?Just wondering:)

Ok, I am 25 and my husband is 41 years old. We've been married for 6 years, we do not have kids yet, but he has children from previous marriage. Every time I ask a question on yahoo answers I get really negative reaction from people , like "what are you doing with such an old man" or "how can he be so irresponsible to marry a twenty year old woman, he has children and needs to be a responsible father!" or " why would you marry an old man with kids" etc. Well, I married him because I love him, what's wrong with loving an older man? Yes, we have conflicts and we have problems and we work on them because we care about each other and we want to be together. Yes, sometimes it is hard to get along with him and we are different, we like different things and we have different opinions, but that happens in many marriages. So why are people so judgemental and criticize both of us just because he is older than me? I am in my twenties but it doesn't make me stupid or irresponsible!
