Today is my 25th wedding anniversary, and I am trembling with anxiety about talking to my husband tonight about needing therapy. I don't even know how to approach it. I have looked into counselors in my area, and (I swear to God) they are all young and beautiful - which intimidates me and may be...

I apologize ahead if it sounds confusing, there’s so much to the problem, and you’re welcome to ask further in case that it doesn’t seem clear. Here’s the deal: Husband and I have been married for 4 y (on December 14) and been together for 7 years. We have two wonderful children together, age...

Hi folks, it's been a long time since I've posted. My full story is very long (you can probably see my old posts under my profile if you'd really like to) so I will try my best to keep this short. Essentially, for the entirety of my wife and I's married lives, we've lived in a mostly sexless...

Hi Forum, It's been a few months since I've posted. Things were going well, until they weren't. Serial infidelity and/or serial thoughts about infidelity have driven my husband and I farther apart. This time, I've asked for a formal separation with no contact, which my husband has agreed to. He...

Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum, mainly out of desperation in hopes of finding someone who can understand my situation. I live in the south so intercultural marriages are uncommon. I've been with my husband for about 8.5 years, married just over 5. I'm American and he's from India (lived here...

Yes, you read that correctly. 19 months. It’s not the way we imagined married life. But it’s the reality we’re facing. My wife and I were both virgins when we married back in July of 2012. And technically, I guess we’re still virgins. In the past 19 months there has been only one attempt to...

I am trying to decide if my husband is verbally abusive or if I am overreacting due to abuse and severe bullying which occured during my own childhood. I wonder if he is simply the wrong person for me or if I have unreasonable expectations and wrong perceptions. I simply don't know if I should...

I am trying to decide if my husband is simply the wrong person for me or if I have unreasonable expectations and wrong perceptions. I simply don't know if I should leave or if therapy will help. I am in my late twenties and we don't have any children. I need to know if there is hope or if I...

I am considering a divorce and really am one foot and 4 toes out the door. I am 36 and have 3 amazing kids. Trust me... this isn't a choice I am taking lightly. My husband and I have been seperated for a month now. I am seeing a therapist and am on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. I...

Basically, I am trying to decide if my husband is simply the wrong person for me and if I should leave or if therapy will help. I am in my late twenties and we don't have any children. I need to know if there is hope or if I should just give up. Also, I am trying to figure out if I have too...
