Let me start this by saying, I really appreciate all of the sharing everyone here does. I read through the posts and it gave me the strength to be completely honest here. I have been married to my wife for 10.5 years. We have 3 children together, and I have another older child from my 1st...

I apologize for the length of this post but I want to put as many details here because I really need help. Have been married 9 yrs. W and I are both alcoholics, I am many years sober. We met 12y ago at a sober camping trip, dated, moved in and married. We agreed that it would be a sober...

I married my husband just 2 months ago. We were engaged only after knowing each other for two months. Everything was passionate. Sex was good. He was sweet and very attentive to my wants and needs. He is great at listening. I am 30, he is 35. While we were engaged he got a DUI. I was very...

Hello, Let's assume for a moment, you've been married a few years, no mutual kids, she/he has a dependency problem and everything that goes along with that: infidelity (at least one that was admitted to), the money, the lying, the craziness, taking off for days or as long as a week or so every...

Sigh. This is one of those things where once you talk to a friend they never look at your husband the same. I am contemplating going to a therapist but really he won't go to couple's therapy, or any therapy for that matter, so it would be alone where someone would just ask me questions and...

Hi For me it was just a bad week, my car broke down I had to get a new transmission, it really sucked because husband and I were down to one car for a year now, so I had to take a cab to work to the late shift, I got out of the cab that morning and must have dropped my phone somewhere. I...

hello everyone, this is my first time ever posting on a forum. I am here in hopes of finding some advice. I have to admit I am afraid to share my story, all I am seeking is advice from other people who understand me... I've been married for over a year now. My husband and I were engaged about 5...

My husband and I been together for 8 years married for about 1 and a half. About 2 weeks ago I found a needle and a spoon in our bathroom I then found out he had been doing it for weeks. In those weeks I felt deep down like he was hiding something but could never put my finger on it till I found...

First off, I'm brand new at these married forums. This is my last option for advice. If anyone cares to listen, this is my story: I've been a wife to my spouse for three years. We have a two year old and another baby on the way, in just two months. My spouse and I knew each other for two years...

This is going to be long. OK. I've started a few threads here over the last year or so. Used two different user names because I thought I deleted the other, but automatically logged in via my browser. I was recommended the book No More Mr Nice Guy. I've only read about 40 pages into it and...

First I want to give a bit of a background which will lead to my current situation. I am not looking for sympathy, I am not looking for criticism, I criticize myself enough for this. Eight years ago I met the most amazing woman in the world. We proceeded to move in together in three months...

We've been married 13 years - second marriage for both of us. I have two children; a 24 year old boy who lives away from home and 19 year old girl who still lives at home and attends university. He has an 18 year old daughter at boarding school. We married within 6 months of meeting and I then...

Well, here I find myself back in the same position I was ever in when married to the ex. She undermines any form of discipline I attempt to enforce. Contrary to the decree, the ex won't require my daughter to come and visit me on my weekends or Wednesday nights. My daughter has spent exactly one...

I have been in an exclusive relationship for 3 1/2 years. We have lived together the last two years. I have four children by a previous relationship in which he has embraced and treats as if they are his own. Problem is, he has a cocaine addiction that we just can't seem to overcome. I...
