Marriage & Divorce - 13 December 2007

I don't think so, for one simply reason – we are all human. And humans are not perfect. Do you think that we all end up hurting the people we love the most? I believe having a good marriage does not demand perfection, but it does require us to apologize when we fail.

In marriage, when you say sorry what does it mean to you? When was the last time you said sorry to your spouse and meant it?

When you apologize to your spouse, what do you say? For many the answer is: "I'm sorry." But do you tell them what you are sorry for? An apology has more impact when it's specific. "I'm sorry that I got home late. I know that you worked hard to be ready on time, and I show up 15 minutes late. I feel badly that I’ve made you wait. I hope you will forgive me and we can still have a good evening." Do you think this kind of apology communicates that you are aware that your behavior inconvenienced your spouse and that you feel badly about it?

I was just wondering how many women would allow their husbands to go out with their friends to a strip club.

When my Husband and I got married we were planning to finish school, work a while and have children. All of the sudden he wants to get his PHD. I am supportive, but he doesn't want to have kids till he is completley done(understandably). I will be 37-40 when he gets done, I def. do not want to wait that long to have kids. I told him this and he said, if he has to choose, he would choose his career over me? I understand things change and I have more than flexible with the children issue more than once, as well as other issues. I just want to know what you guys think about this?! I really appreciate it!


I'm 20 and he is 24, so we have plenty of time, lol. But the thing that scares me, is the fact that he already is saying he would choose his career over me?!

My husband is a very loving guy.In public and in private,he's always affectionate.Butmost of the time,his temper breaks my heart.he says im exxagerating,but im scared.hes so unpredictable,that im scared that if i dont get home before he does,he might get mad.im scare that if i go out to buy him something he wanted and they dont have it,hes gonna snap.even though it doesnt seem like it,i feel like a doormat.i feel submissive,and thats not me at all.i cry every day.the latest incident was this morning.i wake him up for work every day(since we have an 8 month old daughter i wake up first)but today,the baby slept in,and i woke up a little late.so when i woke him up,telling him to hurry so he wouldnt be late,he started cursing and screaming,told me to shut up b/c i was useless.what hurts the most its that he wont ever admit hes done something wrong,i have to apologize first(for something i didn't do)and then hell say hes sorry!help me,i need to change and not be so submissive.please help

I`ve worked for him for several years,you cannot talk to him.
If I ever ask a question his reply is "send me an email".
He shouts if anything ever goes wrong,even though I`m not to blame.I know that perhaps your response would be to get another job,however he does pay me well,and there is not many better career opportunities open to me.
Should I put up with him for the money,or should I earn less and be stress free?

I really respect Yahoo anwers because they helped me a lot in the past. There's a thing though, i need to discuss.
I've been seeing a man for exactly 5 months. He's married but trying to get a divorce for 3 months now. He's not lying. His wife wants him back, she knows about our relationship and she thinks that I'm the one who ruined hers. They have a 3 month old baby. The wife keeps calling me and my family, blaming me and threatening me for what's going on. My partner tells me to be patient and when she signs the divorce there will be nothing to worry about. My parents disapprove because they think he'll never get divorced. He makes me happy and I can't imagine my life without him even though sometimes i wish i'd never met him. What should i do? How would i know if he's worth all the trouble i'm going through? Should i choose him instead of my family?

know this probably sounds pretty petty & childish but my fiance has a kid by another girl ( i cant call her a women as she is very immature). Well i have strung myself out over so much drama with this girl. I have no record at all until now b/c i got in a fight with her and I am the one they arretsed even know she is crazy and threw a bottel at me. She has slashed many of my vehicles tires, busted out my kitchen window, pranked my phone repeatedly but somehow my fiance and even my mom and friends tell me to leave her alone-liek she is the victim. I guess they say they dont mean it that way but why are people coming at me to stop it all when she is the one who does all this drama? I know its very Jerry Springer and I am just frustrated to be a part of the ghettoness. How do I handle feeling like I am being blamed for her actions???? Am i just being childish?
