  1. General Relationship Discussions
    First of all I understand 'unfair' is objective so this is obviously from my perspective. I am interested in learning some of the ways that others participate in marital conversations and/or defuse arguments or frustration when they feel that the premise itself is flawed or unfair but when...
  2. Considering Divorce or Separation
    We had a horrible fight last night, my head still hurts from all the crying. Been married for only 8 months, yesterday we had our first Thanksgiving, my brother got some weed for my hubbie but got lost, he got furious thinking his stepdad stole it, I called my brother he said he left it there...
  3. Considering Divorce or Separation
    Hi everyone. I am a new poster here. Please bare with me as my story likely has a lot of details but I would really appreciate your advise on this. Just to give you a little background on myself, I was originally born in Asia (can't say where) but left when I was a baby and have been living in...

    I just want to acknowledge all the mothers and grandmothers that may not have even gotten a "Happy Mother's Day" from their spouse. Have you heard the "You're not MY mother" excuse? Maybe it should not be a big thing, but to me, it is simply a show of respect, particularly when we try to make a...
  5. General Relationship Discussions
    Hello everyone, This is my first time to this forum. I am so glad that I found this site. For the past couple of days, I have felt overwhelmed, and I desperately need to vent and hopefully get some advice. So, this is my story. I have been married to my husband for a little over a year...

    My wife and I are in our early-to-mid 30's, been married for going on 10 years, are both professionals with demanding careers, and have no kids. No prior marriages for either one of us. So, there's some huge gaps between my basic ideals and reality in this marriage, and I feel sad about it just...
  7. Considering Divorce or Separation
    To start off we have been married 5 years together for 8 years, we have two kids 3&4 and have been happily married. We never fight and put all of our effort into raising our kids... unfortunately we have kind of disconnected somewhat during all of this. We both work opposite shifts so one of us...
  8. Considering Divorce or Separation
    Hello, you seem like helpful folk so I would like to see if you have any thoughts on this. Over the course of my marriage I have made some silly mistakes as a result of not always being completely open. I would detail them here, but in hindsight they seem so silly & embarrassing I am loath to...

    My wife is an only child, works for her parents, and takes our two kids to the office with her. There are 20 years of age between her father and mother. Her father is an 80 year old Korean War vet and her mother is now basically his caretaker. As far as I’ve observed, my wife’s mother has...
  10. The Men's Clubhouse
    It may seem like a crazy question, but here's the skinny... Lately, until very recently, things have been great in my marriage intimacy-wise. We even had a new baby 5 months ago. Then all of a sudden things went nearly to hell (if they aren't already there and I don't realize it). I was...

    I am banging my head against the wall. Ten years. Ten YEARS. We have not had sex for over ten years. Affection dried up before that. We have talked about it. "It takes two" she always says. :iagree:Yes, that is true. However, when it has been so long, why bother to try to start...

    Hi all, I am a 35 year old man married to my wife for 8 years. We have two beautiful little girls ages 7 and 4. Our relationship is very loving, we both believe we are each others soul mates, well, at least I do. My wife says she loves me blindly and I truly do feel loved by her. We are both in...

    Lately my husband and I have been fighting a lot, usually over stupid things. He has depression and finally went to the doctor and will be starting medication as soon as our insurance approves it. Until then, I need help in figuring out how to respond to him. His latest comment has me furious...
  14. General Relationship Discussions
    I am a man trapped in a marriage where my wife does not respect me. She does NOT care about how I feel about things. She just told me she doesn't care! She always sees the other person's point of view. She talks down to me! She belittles me! She lectures me! She makes me beg for sex and I only...

    This is part two from my earlier post, “Does Your Husband Tune You Out,” where I wrote about three ways for a woman to stop getting ignored by her partner. Here, I’ll address the other side of the coin: Six ways for a man to get more respect from his wife. I don’t know why I wrote “three...
  19. General Relationship Discussions
    I am just too tired and depressed. I have been married for close to 1.5 years now and our marriage has been difficult from the start. My husband constantly lied to me about everything- matters of consequence and trivial issues leading to constant arguments. Somewhere down the line, I had...

    My DH and I have only been married for 9 months and have been together for almost 7 years (will be 7 years in 11 days). He has done a lot of things to me to break my trust and hurt me in the past. He cheated on me twice in the beginning of our relationship. I forgave him after the first time (7...
