Marriage & Divorce - 17 September 2007

I've mean struggling with how to deal with my husband and his interaction with his 14yr old son who I believe is causing stress between my husband and I - It's not a direct hit to our relationship it's more of a side swipe to our relationship. I have been step parenting him since he was in the 5th grade - He's now in high school and he seems to not listen to me or take my corrections. He's not rude or disrepectful to me but he's not responsive to my request & devisouse with his actions. He does things on his own time. and when I confront him about why things are not done he stands there with a blank look and he offers no response to my concerns. I then go to my husband when I cant get anywhere with my SS. But my husband doesn't respond as I think he should.....So things pile up and then I start to bark because I feel Im not being heard and what I want does'nt seem to be important enough to get done. I frastrated and I want to get through to my husband that I'm not happy.

I recently went through a terrible and bitter divorce and my ex husband ended up with everything and I do mean everything the house, cars and children. I was so mentally and physcially beat down by the time he was ready to divorce me I had no fight in me. He had gotten a 83,000.00 settlement and paid an attorney about 60,000.00 to hurt me and take everything. I found out that after he fought so hard to take my home from me that he had to sell it because he had spent all his money on attorneys fees. How do I explain to my children why they had to move from a 2,250 square ft house to a 1,000 square ft house? I pay him child support and now my attorney wants to take him to court for full custody. Should I be as mean as him? My kids don't want to live with him but I do want to get along with him eventhough he slams the door in my face every chance he gets. He and his sister talk really bad about me to my kids and they are starting to resent him for it what should I do to recover?

I made the decision to divorce my wife several year ago. I have not done it yet becasue I am afraid that she will mistreat my children when she shares custody. I have a 8 year old daughter and a 14 year old son. My wife is angry all the time and yells at both of them. She has hit them in the past but does not do that anymore since I threatoned to report to the authorities. There is a whole bunch of other things that support that my kids and I will be better off without her in the picture. That decision is made so I do not need advise on counseling etc.

What I need to know is this:

If I filed for a divorce and asked for full custody of both my children, will the fact that my 14 year old son expresses desire to live with me 100% of the time help me get full custody of my daughter if she also expresses her desire to live with me 100% of the time? I have heard that the courts do not like to split siblings.

How many couples are together but one person in the relationship knows they are not in it for the long run - or they are just waiting for that perfect opportunity to leave?

I'm currently living w/ my gf & my son but cannot stand some of the things she does or has done (those are different stories). I stay with her because I know I would look like a deadbeat if I were just to leave. I've also heard the saying, "it's cheaper to keep her". And sometimes I think maybe my situation is not that bad afterall. I mean I have it all but just wish my gf was different. She is the most beautiful woman you were to meet but her attitude, bad personality completely overshadows her. I'm not so sure anymore.

So I continue on with my days, weeks, months waiting until she f*cks up, so I wouldn't be the one to blame.

Does this happen to other people or am I just being the dumb azz waiting around?

My husband has 2 other brothers. Both of them are younger and they have both gotten married in the last 5 years or so. However, I know and have proof that they have cheated on their wives. I am good friends with both of them and a friend of one of the girls that one of them cheated with. My husband told me to stay out of it, but one of them came to me with a suspicion that he was cheating and asked me if I kknew anything. What do I do??? I am not one to cause trouble but I also care about my friends. I hate the fact that they cheat on their wives and I can't, or have not said anything. I also do not want to cause trouble between my husband and I. We have been together for 8 years and have a 3 year old daughter together. So what d I do????? Please help!

than the man. Agree? Disagree? Don't most men leave their wives and remarry younger?
If you are 40 and still not married to him, how long do you wait? Do you know how stupid it sounds to be 40 and still be saying, "my boyfriend" Makes me feel like I'm 14 and dating.

How many guys out there have dated a woman because she is a "Nice Person". Then after a while of dating you proposed to her and she accepted. Only to find yourself engaged to a lady that you do not find yourself sexually attracted to (either because her looks were "okay" or she was too "maternal" looking or whatever...) You do not want to break off the engagement because she is after all a WONDERFUL LADY. She is either sweet, responcible, would make a great mom, not a big spender, laughs at your jokes, in other words she is very a practical choice. You might regret letting her go because she is a smart choice for marriage and starting a family. But let's face the truth. She definately does not have you on FIRE! She does not rock your world inside and out. You are not so enamored with her that you cannot see straight. Would you marry this gal and if so, why?

Many months ago I found out he had made friends with a 23 year old girl that works at a gas station close to our home. I found out that he was talking to her daily, going to her place of business several times a week, lent her money to pay her cell phone bill etc. One night she called when we were at Applebee's and he disappeared for 10 minutes. After Applebee's I had to run into Garden Ridge. When I came out 5 minutes later he was nowhere to be found. Upon calling his cell phone I could tell he was on the other phone. When I asked who he was talking to he said he was calling me. Well, it clicked, and I asked for his cell phone and saw a number I did'nt know. Upon conforting him he said it was that girl and that she was going through a hard time with her husband. He swears they were only friends. I gave him a choice to either give up the friend or me. He said their was no choice and has, to my knowledge, quit talking to her. 5 months later I can't get over it. What do I do?

seriously how do you bounce back if you really loved your wife but she had a mental condition that couldn't make her commit or keep her stable in a marriage. On top on going through a divorce finding out 1 month after your marriage ended that you're going to get laid off and possible lose everything you have. How do you bounce back after all those setbacks? it's hard to hold my head up right now.

My birthday is this Wednesday and my husband and I have had plans to go out Saturday night for about 2 months now, with a few close friends. It is a big deal to me because I just had a baby 3 months ago and this will be our first time going out in over a year now. Anyways I'm very excited about it and all, but then my hubby announces that plans are off and he's spending the weekend with his kid, who never even comes to see him!!! I think this is so unfair, afterall the kid never comes and We already had plans and dinner reservations. How can he just cancel on me like this on my birthday, when I'm sooo excited ? I am so angry right now!!!

My partner of 3 years ended it because i asked for a future with him. Our relationship was fantastic for the first year or so, but my depression made it difficult sometimes and he wasn't very good with talking. We still had loads of fun, amazing sex and went on holidays and he was really in love with me. But over time and if i mentioned the future he would back off. I said to him one weekend away. 'Its been 3 years now, are we going to stay like this for ever or are we going to committ to each other in the future'? He didn't answer so a couple of months later i asked him if we could move in together in 6months or so. He told me he couldn't offer me a future because he didn't feel it in his heart. he wanted to be single again. He also said other things that didn't really make any sense. But i feel that my depression and me bringing up the future must of put him off. Do you think i ruined this and should i have been happy with just having him in my life. Could we start again?

Am in my 30's and this guy is 6 years younger than me and looks younger than his age; When i met him the first thing i said was he looked very young & he said thats funny coz he came to ask for my no. We kept meeting and I was finding it funny that he was interested in me coz i never dated a younger guy before. I have now started to like him coz he's really nice; i went with him for a function and told a friend that he's just a friend coz i was kinda embarrassed coz i think he looks younger than me. I think he might have overheard and now he has not talked to me for 2 days. What do i do about this? He is a really wonderful guy...
