Marriage & Divorce - 19 September 2007

I was married, and had a daughter. When I divorced, I kept my married name, because I wanted to have the same last name as my child. I'm pregnant now, and will not be marrying the baby's father. Would it be wrong for me to hyphenate my new baby's name with my current (and ex-husband's) last name, as well as the baby's father's last name? I have no intention of ever changing my last name, regardless of whether I marry again or not.

It's nice to finally see some positive answers/questions/replies in the Marriage/Divorce category. Lately it seems there aren't any solid relationships anymore. Congratulations to the ones who've survived - and to the ones who didn't make it - I'm sorry - but you scare the crud outta me about ever getting married! I finally found a great guy - by far the greatest guy I've ever met. We talk about the future like marriage is inevitable, but lately it seems like all I see and hear is negativity about marriage. Is there anyone happy out there? If you're willing - can I have your brief, personal love story? I'm a sucker for a happy ending.... and want to believe they still exist.

Have you or do you know of anyone who has terminated a pregnancy while married and she didn't tell her husband?
What were the ramifications, if any?


Please do not tell me what a horrible thing abortion is, that is not the question or the moral debate being presented.
Thank you

Why are some loveres unfaithful?
On September, 17, here in Brazil the Supreme Court condemned an ex-wife to pay her ex-husband R$ 200,000.00 (two hundred thousand reais - Brazilian currency, a little less than one hundred thousand American dollars). She had already lost in Rio de Janeiro but her lawyers appealed to the Suprime Court. The fact is that during their marital life they had to kids, later on her he found out that the kids were not his.

I think even the best premarital counseling glosses over a portion of the inherent risks and bruises that lay waiting in marriage. There’s a degree of sugarcoating that’s applied when it comes to marriage, a veneer of hope and Hallmark, sweetness and stickiness.

Recently, after years of being fake, my wife and I started being honest, digging past the mask of marital perfection. Suddenly we were arguing. We were challenging each other. The hidden hurts were not so hidden, the secret desires, not so secret.

I think the heart has a door. When you open it and allow the swell of emotions to pour out, you can’t control which ones rush forward. I cannot tell my heart, “I want to experience true love but not true pain” or “make me drunk on happiness but may sadness never touch my lips.”

My question is what have you learned about marriage? I learned being real with feelings means being brave enough to experience the bad ones alongside the good ones. What have you learned?

What do you think happens to a married family man once he reaches his 40s? Is it just a case of re-evaluating his life and wanting to live it to the full and not caring about the devastation he leaves behind? My husband refers to our marriage and family as having done his duty and now wants something for himself. I need to hear that not all men think like this otherwise I will have lost faith in humanity. Am I a statistic of a changing world? I have had to exercise so much patience that I am at bursting point. Last night we were watching a soap in which a man said to his wife "you know I love you and would do anything for you". I turned to my husband and asked whether he thought there were men who still said that to their wives. He replied "look at him, how ugly he is, he is just compensating for his lack of looks by saying these things to a woman in order to keep her". Does he think that he is good looking then, because he never says he loves me.

I and my husband are married for four years.

The problem is that I don't want to have sex with him while he is desparate having sex.He always tried to blame on my hormon ,but I know what the problem is.

Everytime I see him screaming crazily for tiny tiny reason toward me or my son, my feeling for him goes away.(ex.his favorite clothes not dry or my son spil juice on floor)

Everytime he break his promise that he would not scream ever again, my trust for him disappear.

I actually forced myself to have sex with him once. Then my husband was in a bad mood the next day , started yelling like always. Then he yelled "I felt like **** after I slept with you. You come around only when you want it. I never wanna touch you."

now, he ask me for sex.

When I just imagine having sex with him, I feel sick.

I know this no sex issue is causing more problem, but I just don't know what to do any more.

I tried explaining, but he just think I'm sick and don't even listen.

I love this girl so much, but our physical relationship is non-existant. No passionate kissing or anything. The only physical thing we do is cuddling at bedtime.

Our sex lives started off great. She got pregnant and we decided to marry. We then had a misscarriage but still got married (I was already going to ask her before I knew about the pregnancy).

Leading up to the marriage and right after our sex lives died. She feels I left her high and dry because I got over losing the baby before she did. She thinks I let her down emotionally.

It's been 9 months and even though I am trying and being really sweet and letting her know I love her she still does not seem to be physically attracted to me. It's making me feel like **** and I am starting to get suspicious that she cheating. Anyone have any advise?

Your husband is a physical therapist and is contracted out to work in a business where his job is to rehab patients. One day you show up at his job to take him out for lunch and you walk into his office and he's giving a younger girl a massage and has his hands inside of her pants rubbing her lower back and hips. This girl is an employee not a rehab patient. Then you overhear talk from other people that he works with that there may be a sexual harrasment suit filed against him because he has a problem keeping his hands to himself. What would you say to him, what would your reaction be? Please, serious replies only.
