... and he denies, denies, denies it. So, I'm ready to leave. If he won't admit to anything, then there is nothing left to salvage. If he were to admit to it, we could maybe work together to resolve the problems in our relationship, and finally acknowledge that Pink Elephant in the room. I have got to get to a better place emotionally than being with a lying, cheating husband. I can't wait until our daughter turns 18... my soul is being sucked dry by his double life and online dealings. The holidays this year for us were just going through the motions - there was no holiday cheer in this house... not when I know he is sharing his thoughts and feelings with others online and via cell phone texting. I feel like I am doing our daughter complete injustice by staying in this marriage to her father when he has explicitly demonstrated complete disregard for me, my feelings and our marriage vows. He is also a very, very poor example as a man for our daughter to look up to. They say women unconsciously look for attributes of their fathers in the men they date and marry, right? I don't want her to meet someone like like her dad - someone that she loves that will hurt her via his actions and deeds. What would you suggest I do to get his attention that I know he is still engaging in this behavior?? Smashing his laptop to bits won't work (company computer), and he also uses his cell phone to "stay in contact" with his contacts during the day... (more...)

This will probably end up longer than I expect but here goes; My husband and I have been together for nearly 5 years. He was married once before. He got screwed on visitation since he had no representation. His ex-wife is going for more child support. We had one hearing and they agreed on an amount, with more visitation but not much more. His daughter- who I will refer to as our daughter (shes is close enough) He originally was ordered 4 hours every 1st and 3rd weekend. It has been this way for 4 1/2 years. She is now almost 7, and the two of them agreed with her lawyer present that he would have every other weekend over night 2 weeks in summer and split holidays. The judge did not sign anything bc her lawyer has not gotten a temp. order in the works yet. Ok his ex-wife is a complete psycho. Seriously. She has tried to push him out of their daughters life since she was preg. They share joint legal custody. The ex-wife lives at home with her parents, and her now live in boyfriend, who is married and has a violent domestic history and can't even see his 5 year old daughter alone. The are both on drugs etc. So we are going for custody. It is most def. in our daughters best interest. As I said her mother has serious mental issues. She makes up things on a whim and her latest is telling everyone I have abused her daughter, and she called child protective services. Not really an issue I am not concerned. I am hurt more than anything. I grew up a step-child and was always treated as one. I have always done my best to make my"step-" daughter ( I DETEST THIS TERM) feel as if she were my own. I never want her to feel like I did. I have always wanted her to know she was so much more to me. Anywho, the Protective worker called me today (this is the first day of the CPS being involved) he was askign for my hubby and I gave him the info to reach him. However I asked if I may inquire as to what this was all about. HE asked me "why would Jay(daughter) say she is afraid of you? SO I explained everything.... I have never harmed nor hurt her ever. I have never even had to raise my voice to her. She and I have always been close. I hurt her feelings ( this is also what I told CPS) b/c her mother is getting ready to move out of her moms house with her boyfriend but is planning on leaving Jay there. They have all talked about things like child support, custody and visitation issues in front of her. She has asked me and told me things she should no nothing about.So I explained to Jay who does not spend the night bc they all tell her it is her decision even though the parents agreed on it. As well as the ex-wife CONSTANTLY refuses my husbands visitation. We are in the process of filing a contempt order. Jay is not afraid of me in the least as I explained on the phone to the man who called. Her family is putting things in her head telling her to say them, that he needed to talk to her alone with none of them present otherwise she is intimated and says what she was told for the fear of getting in trouble. The mothers reason for this all is so she can try to stop visitation all together, move out and draw child support on a child she does not take care of. She personally was ignorant enough to tell me this 2 weeks before x-mas. The CPS guy told me that joint custody does not give my husband the right to go get his daughter if the mother moves out of the home without the child. Anyway I am contemplating suing her for defamation of character. How do I do this and should I. My husband and I have 3 other children, and this psycho attempted to jepordize my other children by calling in false accuisation about me that she made up up.I say attempted b/c I am confident nothing will come of all of this considering I am not abusive to any of my children. So I am confident this will be resolved quickly. In the mean time the ex-wife is going around work ( where my mother in law is her superior- not boss) at a restraunt we all used to work for slandering me and I want something to be done about it. I also have her on harrassment. NEED ADVISE PLEASE!!!! (more...)

He split with me in September, no serious problems, too much distance and not enough time. Saw each other in December and he told me he thought he wanted me back, I was just happy to be friends at this point and was shocked because all along he told me he didnt want to get back together but when he saw me the way he felt changed. I supposed I chased him a little too much in the time after and I kinda ruined things I suppose. He came back for his christmas holidays from university ( back to where we both live) we basically got back together, spent alot of time together, were basically how we were before. He changed , he started to act differently towards me, I asked why and he said because I deserve to be treated better. He kissed me goodbye, hugs and kisses. slept in a bed together and cuddled and talked all night, u no all that. ( we didnt have sex before anyone says he was using me, he didnt even try it) . But we spoke the day he went back to university, his words were ' I cant miss you if your still here, I still dont know how I feel. I just know I could love you like I used to and I think I need time away from it. Now today I told him my heads all over the place, so he got stoned. :S I told him he made me feel bad and he got stoned so he 'could just forget' . Im at breaking point. Hes messed me around for 1 month, and its not like me to take being messed around for 1 minute. I really do love him, and hes my best friend, I love him more than I can even say its even making me feel like I wana cry saying it :(:( His words were ' the day you truly go, because you wanted to go is the day i realise what ive really lost, when you go at the moment, i know your coming back' When we split he was horrible to me, really nasty. I told him not to speak to me again, as I wasnt having it, but he asked to meet and we resolved things. But now hes turning back into that person I know I need to leave him, he knows, everyones knows. But how do I go ? :( Hes my best friend, myfavourite person, I even feel like hes made for me. We were perfect over the last few weeks, He even said it Today I asked him to just tell me he doesnt want me,he said he cant. I said didnt that show him anything? He said I dont know. I asked him why after a month he still doesnt know either way , I asked whats keeping him here. and he said YOU. How do I leave and never go back ? How do I stop caring about whether he wants me back. How do I move on and be happy. I cant do this anymore :( (more...)

I graduated a year ago and started working shortly thereafter as well as meeting my current boyfriend. I do not make that much money. I moved out of my parents house in Sept. creating a long commute to work. From this I accumilated some moving violations which have cost me buco bucks and really set me back! As the holidays approached, I was really stressed being strapped for cash(still am) so I asked the people I was exchanging gifts with(my three brothers, parents, and boyfriend) if we could pass this year. My parents would never leave me out and bought me gifts but to my surprise, my brothers each bought me something. Even my little brother who is in college and doesn't work bought me a gift. From this, I figured my boyfriend, whom I have been with for a year, whom is 9 years my senior, likes me more then my brothers do, so he probably bought me something anyway. He makes a decent amount and has a sizeable nest egg. I had recieved unexpected money as a gift for Christmas so before I returned home after Christmas, I went and bought something for my boyfriend. I hated skipping our first Christmas and I wanted to do something nice. I finally saw him on the 27th and gave him his presents. He looked at me and said he thought we werent exchanging. I told him i had gotten some money for christmas. I wasnt expecting anything in return that day, but i thought he would return the gesture in the next few days since he had off. Well its been over a week and nothing. Please don't interpret this as materialistic because I don't expect him to buy me things, but I am hurt by this. This isnt the first offense. We were seeing each other for 8 months and my birthday was coming up but I wouldnt remind him of the actual date. He flat out told me don't worry im not getting you anything. I told him I wasn't telling him because I didnt want him to forget(my assumptions because good friends have in the past). I disregarded this because we weren't exclusive and he did join me and my friends when I went out to celebrate. Why doesn't he want to buy me something? My brothers, who aren't as old or as well off as him right now, got me something to show me they care and they understood my financial issues right now. I totally appreciated him respecting my request not to exchange, but now that I have given him something, still nothing? I also have come to the conclusion that he is weird when it comes to money. Money comes before people and he only is comfortable spending it on himself. He is very particular and really didnt seem to enjoy buying gifts for his family. I mean, a old professor of his who now lives across the country bought him coffee(he loves his coffee) and got it to him, but all he plans to to is email her in return. So how do I talk about this? Or should I just get over it and embrace the spirit of the season of giving? Everything else about him is great, no complaints, and I would really like to work this out but its such an awkward topic. I really appreciate any input! I know its long, sorry! But I guess i didn't make it clear. Its not about recieving a gift in return. Its about why doesn't he have any ambition to get me a gift to make me feel the way he did when I gave him my gift? (more...)

I have been begging my dad for a dog for about 6 months now. I am sooo upset that he won't get one. He says it's because of the money and he doesn't want to put it into kennels when we go on holiday, but those problems I have resolved. He is still rebelling against it though. Is there anyway I can persuade him to buy a puppy. I'll be REALLY great full. Thankz x I have told him that I am completly devoted to a dog as I always play with my best friends dog. I love him to bits. I personally think that we do have the money for it and someone to look after him/her when we go on holiday for a small cost. I've explained to him all the details and even calculated the cost for the first year which really wasn't that much. he knows how I feel because he wanted a dog when he was younger and he got one for his birthday. I've told him that I will look after it and walk it and maybe even pay something torwards the cost. he just won't get one! I'm 13 and an only child. I will NEVER have any brothers or sisters. I don't need to be looked after as much now. I think I am responsible enough. Alot of the time my friends are all busy and I'm normally home alot except for school and a couple of clubs after. My mum is home nearly ALL day as she only works for 3 hours on fridays. She is kinda chubby and we think it will be good exersise for her to walk a dog when I can't. (more...)

My wife has accused me of being abusive and controlling. Her idea of abusive is me saying hurtful things in the heat of an argument. She says I am controlling because I make all the money, pay all the bills, and decide where we live and what we can afford to do. We live in an apartment in Arizona and her and I have both shared the dream of moving to California (where we are both originally from) but in the 5 years we have been married I have been obligated to make tough decisions on lease renewals, and security for the health of our kids. She hasn?t worked much in five years and is home all the time getting home sick from California and cabin fever. She hates it here and because she does I hate it here in AZ too. I have been a fulltime student for the past 2 years and have had little time to focus on sending resumes to cali and look for a place to live out there. But now I am done with my degree and can start making plans and moves to get us out there. The problem? I had let school prioritize over many things because I felt it was important to our future while letting little things in a marriage that count slip. She took a vacation with her ?girls? in the summer to Las Vegas and has been different ever since. We lived like roommates for a whole month sleeping in separate rooms. Our arguments never got resolved as I was working and going to school full time and burdened by responsibility. She become fed up with that and kept threatening to run away with the kids to her moms house in California. I eventually told her to just go thinking it would help our situation but she hasn?t come back for 2 months and I spent every extra dollar I had to visit for the holidays. She feels like I wanted a divorce and I can?t remember if I said the ?d? word or not but I have been telling her I miss her and want her to come home ever since she left. She doesn?t want to come home on account of her ?girls? being within proximity and they have been going out drinking every chance they get. My wife tells me how much fun she is having talking to strange men and how sad it is that a ?stranger? is nicer to her then me and actually ?likes? her. Then she drops the bomb? ?I don?t want to be married anymore and I don?t want to be a mom anymore?. I am personally sorry that I can?t charm her like these strangers in these difficult times-I mean none of this is ?fun? for me and I really can?t focus on partying and having good times until I am certain that we can both find the problem(s) and remedy them. I am no longer distracted by school and she is coming home in two days against her will (her family is burdened by her staying with them). I am so happy that I am going to get her back so we can have proximity again. I feel if she is here we have a better chance of working things out. I want to show her that I love her more than any stranger does and I could make her feel just as special and desirable as any stranger could but I feel so emasculated over my wife?my wife! Having these feelings of putting me second while she pursues a life she once had as a teenager. So how can I remain strong and step up as a man to save my marriage? Any other suggestions would be helpful too. (more...)

Background: (My actual Problem is at the end, but it might help you if you read the history first. Don't worry, it's short!) I once went out with this guy (We'll call him Leroy) and we had a happy three month relationship. I gave him gifts on holidays and sent him notes and pictures I drew of him and followed him around and gave him lots of attention. Leroy was always very shy and was a little afraid of what his friends would think of him for going out with me, so he kept the two of us a secret. He gave me lots of attention in private, and showed all of his feelings then. (My first relationship. I was very young and inexperienced). It was all wonderful until we were caught kissing in a hallway at school. The two of us got into huge trouble with everyone around us. He told me out of the blue a few weeks later, 'It's over". I was shocked. So, being young and stupid, I continued to do exactly as I had done when we were going out (Because I knew that he didn't want to break up with me, but someone, most likely his parents or his friends, told him that he had to). Things got out of hand, and one day one of his friends turned around and called me a "stalker". Leroy began to get tired of being made fun of and getting in more trouble because of me, so he began to get rude and mean towards me. After all that, I could tell he was still in love with me because of his eye color. (Neutral: light blue. Happy/with friends: Light blue with gold spots. Stressed/angry/sad: silver. In love: Deep dark navy blue.) After the end of that year, he had to move on to another school and I had not seen him for more than two years. Now we are in the same school, and I have changed a lot since. I'm not a "Stalker" anymore, I have had several other relationships. In fact, I'm in the best relationship of my life with my current boyfriend (We'll call him Mickey). Leroy is clearly jealous of Mickey. Leroy spent $25 to go to a dance taht Mickey and I were at, and did nothing there but eat food and walk around and switch from the room we were in to the dancing room. Everyone had notified me that Leroy really wasn't dancing, and I knew from experience that Leroy hates dancing anyway. What other explanation would there be for him coming to a DANCE?! Mickey was also stressed out and confused because Leroy was there, and Mickey is well aware that Leroy is my ex. The two boys HATE each other. Leroy sometimes makes a lame move to bring me back, but Mickey always wins these competitions. They are very jealous of each other over me. I want to fix this. !/>=+~*MY PROBLEM*~+=<\! I want to resolve the issues I have with Leroy, and also let him know that I have no romantic attraction to him whatsoever. But I want to do this in a way that Mickey doesn't think I'm cheating on him. HELP! (more...)

I feel like my partner's mother is interfering with our relationship. We have been together for about a year and a half and have recently moved across the country together. His mother seemed to be very supportive of this, but for some reason her sincerity never seemed very sincere to me. My partner is 21 and has lived with either of his parents up until just a few months ago, when we moved in together. Since the beginning, I have sat back and observed the kind of relationship he has with his parents, and it has always seemed to be rather unhealthy to me. His problems with his father aside, his mother has always been like all other mothers: very protective and extremely overbearing. What makes their relationship especially complicated is that she got cancer 14 years ago and struggles with it to this day. Somehow this seems to complicate things. I grew up without a mother. She died when I was three, and I was raised by my single, gay father. I have always had a hard time dealing with other women. I do not know how to deal with that overbearing parent I never had. When we first got together and lived in the same town as our parents, we spent a lot of time at his mother's house. She was completely smitten by me. She would always invite me over and share very private stories and buy me presents. My partner and I got together in September, and by Christmas, she went all out. I was not expecting any of it. It felt nice that we were friends, but as someone who is motherless, I have never had any interest whatsoever in adopting a mother at 21. That winter, my partner and his mother got into a big fight, and she threw him out and told him to move in with me. This was a problem because I lived with two other girls, and not only was the apartment too small for someone else to move in, but he had no business being there. When I told him this, he said it was no problem and that he would sleep in his car. I gave in. My housemates were extremely upset with me, and my partner and I kept fighting, as my room was very small and he just had to bring all six instruments with him. Even worse, his mother could not understand how I could have been upset with her. She even told my partner that I was ungrateful: that she apparently gave me the best Christmas of my life (even though I never said that). When their fight was resolved and my him moved back in, everything got back to normal within a few months. But she stopped inviting me over and never let me sleep over, even though she used to encourage it. She blamed the landlady who, admittedly, did not like me. A couple months before my partner and I moved away together, he temporarily moved to Texas to work for his father so that he could save the money that he needed to start his life on the West Coast. During that time, I moved in with my father so that I could save money. Even though my relationship with my father was great, living with him was quite difficult, as I did not have my own room or even a bed to sleep on. Thus, I ended up spending time with his mother: she was lonely after he left. Suddenly the landlady was perfectly OK with my spending the night. At first it started with the extremely nice gesture of buying us water-proof winter jackets. When you are new to a rainy city, it is a necessity, and I could not have been happier to accept the gift. Then she sent a few boxes of household items that we did not have. She had told us she planned to even before we left, so it did not feel weird. This past Thanksgiving, our funds were pretty low, so she sent us a Trader Joe's gift card for $100, which helped out a lot and allowed us to make a nice meal for the holiday. But lately it is getting crazy. She is sending us huge boxes full of stuff. Soooo many clothes, we do not know what to do with them all. We have four times as many knives as we do hands. And that $100 gift certificate was the first of many. I was on the train earlier today and realized that everything I was wearing except my socks and shoes -- jacket, underclothes, pants, shirt, backpack-- were all gifts from her. She has bought our food for the last month. She told my partner the other day that she created an emergency fund for us both incase we cannot make rent. This all from a woman who is on disabilities! Now she is even talking about moving here so that we can live with her! Perhaps I sound like I am an ungrateful girl. I do not think that I am. I appreciate the clothes and the food and everything else she has done. But I feel like I am becoming dependent on her. My father is an extremely loving parent, but he has always let me make my own mistakes and my own decisions. But my partner has a mother who is encouraging him to mess up so that she might benefit. It would have been one thing for her to create an emergency fund incase we needed to borrow money for rent: it is quite another to offer that when we are doing fine. That is enabling irre (more...)
