Is it true that there is a woman behind every successful man because:

Women do not go after UNsuccessful men

What is your view ?

I love my husband very much. He's a good man and a good provider and he loves me. But there is one thing about him that I am ashamed to say really turns me off...over the past couple of years, his teeth have begun to fall out and he even has front teeth and bottom teeth missing. The few remaining teeth are awful. He has always brushed his teeth daily and has good hygiene, but his family has a history of severe dental problems. When we got married, 20 years ago, his teeth were fine. It's not that he hasn't been to the dentist and tried to get them taken care of. Even though we have dental insurance, it only will pay a mere fraction of the cost of oral surgery and dentures. (Also, I know he is now avoiding the dentists because he doesn't want to get dentures....he's only 42.) We don't have $6000 to pay upfront. But lately, I am having great difficulty just being close to him and I feel so terrible and shallow for feeling that way. Any advice?

When does having sex with someone on their birthday become too much effort?

I'm a single person in his mid-thirties and was never married nor will I ever get married (just don't tell me you haven't found the right person yet" ). I'm happy as a single person - I date and have healthy relationships with ladies, with whom when I enter a relationship I tell them I have no intentions of getting married, no matter how big the love is - so it's a mutual consensus.

First of all, my family and some friends keep saying "stop wasting you life" and get married once and for all. The other thing I hear from my parents: you should have kids before you turn 40 and we want to be grandparents.

I tell my friends and family that my happiness is defined by me and only by me, and in that defined happiness I include a lifelong non-matrimonal life and no children.

So my question is: Why do people get married? To make themselves happy or just to follow society's trend of getting married since the majority of human beings get married one time or another.

We've been living commonlaw since 2000 and I want to get married. He's 57 and I'm 44, we're not kids and nor do we want any as we have three from previous marriages. We've discussed marriage and he's against it. Only thing is I'm worried about my future as his Will hasn't been changed and in the eyes of the law we are married. Am I responsible for his debts? Everything in his will went to his ex-wife who is deceased and in the event of her death to her son. What are my rights? Would you tell him how you are feeling?

My husband cheated on me and when I asked him if he regreted it he said no, he said he only felt bad after he saw what it had done to me and how much it hurt me. He said that he doesn't like to regret things, and that it was just a ****! He says he feels bad but he must not if he doesn't feel any kind of guilt for what he did, I just dont understand!

That you do with your partner that brings you closer to each other and reminds you how much you love each other? And I'm not talking about sex!

I have two things:
1. Every time we eat dinner at home we cook together. This is the perfect time for us to talk about our day.
2. Every night, we spoon before going to sleep. It totally relaxes us and we feel so much in love.

I have recently bought a brand new yellow corvette and now my wife is furious about me giving a ride to a female coworker to a company luncheon about 2 miles away from work.

I am not in any way attracted to my coworker and may never be (because im happily married and love my wife and even if not for that my coworker is not in the same league or type as me) and my wife has admitted that she knows that too.

But she still feels very upset and thinks that I shouldn't give rides to females in this car (being 2 sitter). From my perspective, this is nothing to even think about let alone fight over, but she is making a very big deal out of it. Is she right to feel this upset over this?

my common law wife and i were together for 5 years....bought a condo together and she had even told me about mariage in aug 08. She said everything was fine the way it was and never had any bad thoughts about us. Then one day she up and tells me that she "wants to see what else is out there" that she "needs more" and still loves me but its not the same love. Why is it that when you find the one you want and are told the same...women seem to be able to do just the opposite!!

I'm married to a man that i don't love. He recently had a seizure, for the first time (scared the hell out of me). He doesn't seem like he want to be somebody. He just lost his job that makes me more mad. I feel like i'm his care taker, i don't feel like we are equally or that he want to make something out of his life.
I was on the dean's list last year but now my grades are dropping because am so stressed out.
I really think i would be a lot happier without him in my life But i know for a fact that if i leave him he won't be able to make it on his own. I'm giving way more than i'm getting back. Is this what marriage is suppose to be like? I'm 24 and he's 31 and i'm way more mature than he is. He lost his job because he was "joking" around.
Would u stay in an unhappy marriage?

Not too long ago, I told some people that I plan to stop dating altogether and remain single. (I have my reasons.) They acted as if such a thing were unthinkable! Their constant refrain was, "You'll end up alone!" Why do some people think that being alone is a fate worse than death? After all, marriages and relationships aren't what they're cracked up to be and they're not at all as they're depicted by the media. If anything, I've found that marriages and relationships often cause more grief than happiness for the people involved. There is reason why most marriages end in divorce. THINK ABOUT IT!!!

I met with a woman last September(yes 13 months ago), and she had very nice pics of herself(5'8" and probably in her 160s) so she had nice curves. When I met her, she didn't tell me she gained like 200 lbs. This woman was a whale. I felt nasty and gross for still agreeeing to make out with her like she expected me to do when I said all this in my email when I thought she was in her 160s like in her photos. She was butt ugly!! I hated every minute of it and I could not wait to get out of there. I love women well-proportioned women with curves(130s to 150s if she's 5'4") but I'm not attracted to women who are skin and bones, but defintiely repulsed by 400 lb.beach whales.



She deliberately misled me by emailing me old pics before she gained weight without telling me about her horendous weight gain. Wouldn't you also be pissed off if you were me?

My ex is taking me to child support. She seemed to drop it on me the day after i got engaged(Seem strange). But she told me that she filed the paperwork already. I am planning on taking a paternity test, because I never signed an acknowledgement or the birth certificate. She keeps saying it is a process, but I just want the madness to get over quickly. I known her for years, and just hate that the relationship is so bad between. But we have a little kid involve, so it is not about us. I am willing pay child support, just my responsibility. But I want to get some information first
When I get married will my spouse income be included
Because I don't think she should have to pay for my previous actions before the marriage
Second, I want to file for joint custody
What will be my rights and responsiblities under that act.I love my son, but I just know under theses circumstance I just could get along with the mother, So I think it is best to go to court. I am just glad he is only one

I love my boyfriend we've been together for 1 year and a half. We've been having some arguements lately and its hard for us to both control our tempers. Our last argument ended in him slapping me on the face, it wasnt a hard slap, it was more like a light tap. I'm scared its going to get worse because abuse escalates. Its starts with a light slap, than a punch, than kicking and choking. He says he wouldnt do it again but i'm smart enough to know that just because he promises doesnt mean he wont do it again. He's a really good guy, and i know he loves me, its just that sometimes we both lose our tempers. I have to admit i've slapped him too before because he's said some really mean thngs to me in the past. Right now we are on a break, i told him that the only way we could get back together is if we both go to couples counseling. Clearly we both have a problems, i'm not blaming it all on him, i know i have my faults too. Do you think couples counseling will work?
