Marriage & Divorce - 9 September 2007

Do you think in this day and age it's possible for two people to be exclusively devoted to each other? In this age of short attention spans, sexually saturated media, and wider acceptance of infidelity, do you think people should even try to be in a monogamous relationship, or are we setting ourselves up for disaster?

I have heard plenty about mail order brides, but you never hear about the other version. I was just wondering if anyone had heard about this and where you heard it from? I.E. what website, magazine, etc...

My husband will never be happy...We love each other but sometimes his low self esteem really makes me want to leave. He will say or do things that are mean and get in these terrible moods because he hates how his life is outside of marriage...he hates his job and claims he will hate any job that isn't making movies..well he won't goto film school (says its a waste of money) and wont goto college for anything else...has no money to buy a nice camera to start making his own films. He 's not going to go anywhere and he makes it sound like its not his fault...he acts like if someone else is suppose to just GIVE him a great job and lots of money!! Its driving me away and he doesn't understand why. I work the same job as him I can't just get him a hook up or anything even though I wish I could. It all stems from insecurities I know it does...any advice (aside from Just leave him lol)

My brother is a married man, he has two cute kids and a wife. He loves a girl. Their affair is several years old. Before his marriage everyone in the family had known about his affair. My parents and even I don't like the girl and we denied and he marries my bhabhi (his present wife ). After four years of his marriage now he wants to go back to that girl (his girl friend) leaving my bhabhi (he has no problem with my bhabhi, he loves that girl more). I am very very very worried for my bhabhi and future of their children. That girl is going to marry after three months and before her marriage, they both want to leave everything and go away. My parent don't know that my brother wants to leave. please tell me what should I do for my bhabhi and her children (my heart beat).
My brother and his girl is very serious for their relationship and their mental condition is severe.

I love my husband... but he's controlling. And it's driven me to sneak smoking... Anyone else ever encounter this?! Although I know I can't blame him for my smoking... and I know I need to quit... Just wondering if anyone else sneaks smoking... And if your spouse found out would it be a "deal breaker" in your marriage???

I'm 34 and he's 22.I'm going thru a divorce from verbally abusive marriage with 2 young children. He's in a college athlete in his senior year. We met on an a dating website almost 2 months ago. we talked on the phone, thru webcam, and text daily until a week ago when he came back to michigan for school (lives out of state in the summer). now he mainly communicates thru email, called only 3 times, and says he needs time to get settled into his school schedule and then we'll meet. he says he still wants me and we still have very sexually graphic convos when we chat online. he keeps saying he's not avoiding me and he wants to see me but it seems fishy to me. Claims not to have a girlfriend either. Supposed to meet today actually and i have heard nothing from him, claims he lost his phone and is waiting for a new one.i know i seem stupid, so why do i still obsess over finally meeting him? why is he doing this to me? If he doesn't want to see me, why does he try to stay in contact someho

been married now 11 years things were great till I spoke to one of my dim witted friends and she told me about the "THRILLS of SEX" and how her husband watches her have sex with other men and all he can do is watch !
She told me it was very liberating to have that much control over her husband and that I should try it with mine.

I ask my husband would it be a turn on and he said would you be turned on if I had sex with another woman and all you could do is watch?

I thought why not and got a him a friend of mines to have sex with with the understanding that all I could do is watch, with a few other rules in place and the "CLEAR UNDERSTANDING" that this was not a favor trade.

He did it and it tore me up inside to watch god why did I listen to the *****? it was the worst feeling I cried everytime I thought about it.

I told my husband that it was never going to happen again and the turn I was to have was not going to happen.

Why did I push this stupidity on our marriage?

My husband and I are currently living apart. To protect my two children I filed a petition in Family Court for his child support. Does anyone know what happens with this case if my husband and I decide to reconcile and he moves back home?

Okay so this is the situation. I got married when my son was 7 months old and moved to where my husbands family lived. My husband was abused by his dad and now as an adult has the same anger problems that his dad has. I am tired of fighting and am looking into getting a divorce. We live in Texas what do I need to do to file a divorce THE CHEAP WAY?!? Also since he isn't my son's bilogical father and isn't even a "step-parent" can he be forced to pay child support?

My husband and I have been married for almost two years. At first I thought that our difficulties were because we did not live together before we were married and we needed to get used to one anothers habits. But as time goes on, we are having more problems not less. It is just the two of us, with two dogs. He has his dream job and I have a decent job. We fight over money, the dogs, chores around the house . . . almost everything. So here is part of my problem, he works on call and doesn't have a normal schedule, he comes home and sleeps and doesn't think that he should be responsible for any thing around the house that he doesn't want to be. He wants me to take care of him, take care of the house, and everything else. He will help if he has slept as long as he likes, done whatever he wants on the computer, and talked to his friends from work. He ignores me and thinks that I shouldn't ask him to spend time with me. He says he will do it on his own if I leave him alone. RIGHT.

http://www.overlawyered.com/2005/12/david_letterman_restraining_order.html
Of course we all know that it is because of the discriminating Violence Against Women Act in which a woman can get a restraining order on virtually anyone and for any reason with out any sort of evidence and only her word.
I am completly for protecting women from abusers but at what expense should this be done. Should we just give out RO's like they are candy and regardless of the absurdity of the claims and the lack of substancial evidence.
This is, in fact, the number one tool used by women in divorce in order to remove the father from the childrens lives and then to establish herself as custodial parent through a series of other dirty tricks that the court seems to not only look the other way on, but promote using these tactics.
How can we ensure that we protect women who are truely victims of abuse yet also protect men what are victims of absurd claims based off no evidence?

My friends paid for my lap dance. So we went to a private corner for my "no contact" lap dance. Well, I got aroused. There was no skin on skin contact ever, a little soft rubbing over clothes. During the session, I finished myself off via a little pocket pool. I then rubbed my hands under my shirt, creating a little stain. Well, she saw it while doing the laundry and confronted me about it. After about a minute of denying what it was, I came clean and confessed to the occurrence. She immediately began with the "I have no right" & "I owe her an apology" argument. I stood my ground saying I owe no apology, I did nothing wrong and no lines were crossed. Plus, I'm 33 yr old. The last time I was at a nudie bar was over ten years ago while active duty in the Marine Corps, I'm home every night by 4pm, don't drink & don't do drugs. I'm a simple family man with a 4 yr old son (previous marriage) that loves the home life, plus, this was my night, I wanted to have some harmless fun! Am I wrong?

have the energy to do other things not associated with the kids(getting up early on saturdays to go shopping, for example). Before all the women tell me to help with the kids let me say I do. I change diapers, get them ready for bed, give baths, and much more. We've had babysitters and gone out to dinner many times but then she goes to bed as soon as we get home. I know her self esteem is lowered because her body has changed but how many times do I have to tell her I still think she's beautiful. Im at my wits end. What could be the problem?

In behalf of my closest friend which is right beside me right now.. since she is not satisfy with the previous answers we've receive about her problem.
She is married yet she think she made the biggest mistake ever. Fooling herself to be with the man who become her husband. Fooling herself for she can't fight her feelings for the other guy whom she's deeply inlove with.
Now.. her husband outstands from amongst since he has all the following traits what a woman want. But there is no chemistry in between them. What is she doing is doing things in return for her husband for she has nothing to give to him in exchange for everything he did to her life to make it more convenient.
She want to bring her love back to her husband. However, no matter how she try... there is something that is hard to explain and she can't figure it out.
Right now..she is just stating her problem with me about her case. How she wished that she could be able to bring back time for her to make things right,

My ex wife and I have been divorced for about 2 years. She is moving about 45 minutes from where we currently live. We have 3 boys ages 17, 15 & 13. Our divorce decree specifically said that the kids must stay in the school district we live in now. She expects our 17 y/o son to provide transportation to and from school and school functions every day for him and the other two boys. The highway they must take to get to school is a two lane blacktop state highway and very curvy. I'm very worried that something may happen to them driving this far every day. Am I right to be concerned and will I have a good case for seeking full custody? I just want them Mon - Fri so they can get to school safely. She can have them on the weekends if she wants. I currently pay her $400/month for child support, which is very reasonable even though I have them 50% of the time.
