My history with relationships stinks. I chose the wrong men because I needed to feel needed. I thought if I could fix them, they would feel so grateful they would give me undying love. I’m not making that mistake this time. The man I’m engaged to has nothing to fix. He’s perfect for me. Sounds too good to be true, right? There is one glitch. His ex-wife. They met when he was 18, and she was 23, and they had two children. In their relationship, she was the boss, and he did what she wanted. They...
I have decided to end a two-year relationship with my boyfriend and don't know if I am making the right decision. I am 32 years old and have never been married. My boyfriend, Brandon, has two sons from a previous marriage. Over the course of a year, we realized we shared many interests, and our relationship evolved into a romantic one. On our two-year anniversary, Brandon made it clear he wants to marry me. Although he brought marriage up before, I never gave him a strong indication that I...
She still calls my husband when I am not at home. She seems to want nothing from him, but she is calling, calling, calling. They have little to talk about. He never confides in her, and he never calls her. She calls three times a month just to ask how his life is going. This is getting on my nerves. I have nothing against this lady, and if she wants to be a family friend, that is fine with me. When I discussed these calls with my husband, he didn't seem eager to change the situation. It seems...
I am a "young" 52-year-old woman living with a man who is very successful in business. He is five years my junior, and we have a history. We were together 15 years ago before I walked out. Since then he has married and divorced, and was involved with another woman for four years. He says she is now just a friend, but I called her and she tells a different story. She wants him back. To add insult to injury, I find out he has been in touch with his ex-wife who lives an hour away. After living...
I was friends with Sally for nearly 10 years. She was my best friend, and I assure you it was a purely platonic relationship. When I married, Sally and my wife became best friends. Sometimes they did things together, sometimes all three of us did things together. A while ago I noticed Sally drifting away from me. She stopped returning my phone calls and emails. When I questioned her, she offered flimsy excuses like she was busy or couldn’t reach me. One day I emailed my wife at work that I thoug...
My husband recently asked me for a divorce. I don't want one. In the past he told me things he would like us to work on. Time went on and I thought everything was going great. Then he came back from a three month job-related trip and acted distant. Days went by and there was no talking, so I snooped in his email and found love letters from another woman. I confronted him. He told me he wanted to leave me, but not for her. We have two kids. I think we can work things out, but he doesn't think...
I am a 31-year-old woman who has been married eight years. I have one daughter who is the most important thing in the world to me. The second most important person to me should be my husband, but he's not. Quite a while ago we drifted apart to the point where we were two strangers living in the same house. At the same time, I became friends with a man at work. He is also married. We spent quite a lot of time together over the last four years, and have enjoyed each other's company. Even though I...
For about three years my wife has been working late and staying out until three or four in the morning with her coworkers. During the past four years, I have had four major operations for cancer. I am fine now, but it seems like the only time we see each other is when she leaves for work in the morning. About two months ago I got a phone call from a lady who said her husband was sleeping with my wife. I didn't believe it. She said she had proof, but I still didn't believe it. My wife denied it,...
Why do I want to stay in a relationship that makes me so unhappy? I have been with my boyfriend for two years. Over the last few months the relationship has rapidly declined. We are spending less and less time together (his choice), and the time we do spend together we argue about the way he is treating me. One minute he is loving and caring, the next cold and hurtful. His confusing behavior is causing me to act out of character. I feel I am turning into an emotional wreck. My partner now says...
My boyfriend of one year and I moved in together. We are both 34. I am single, and he is divorced with a 7-year-old son (split custody). The relationship between the three of us is fine, but now I'm worried about my relationship with my boyfriend. We're having a terrible time communicating. Since I moved into his home, my boyfriend has stopped cleaning up the way he used to. Before I moved in we discussed finances and sharing responsibilities around the house. Now it's like he has completely...
I am a legally separated man who is going through a divorce. A friend introduced me to his girlfriend about a year ago. We immediately took to each other, but until a month ago, we didn't realize how the other one felt. I was happily married when we met, but my wife fooled around on me so we split up. Anyway, I started talking to my friend's girlfriend. While he was away for two weeks of job training, we began seeing each other. We both want to be together but don't know what to do. She is four...
I am 35 and the father of two children who live with me. Shortly after I divorced, I became involved with a woman I had known for a long time. Erin is the mother of one of my daughter’s friends. Two years ago she told me she was leaving her husband. I was surprised and happy. There was a mutual attraction between us. This is where the roller coaster ride began. She left her husband, and I asked her out. She said because she didn’t have a separation agreement we could go out with the kids. For ba...
I'm afraid to ask for your opinion, but even more afraid not to ask. I desperately need an outside perspective on my situation. My wife and I dated all through college. I was her first serious boyfriend. The summer before her senior year, I gave Tisha an engagement ring, and we moved in together. I had just graduated with an engineering degree and landed a fantastic job. The next summer we married. As the wedding day grew closer, Tisha started having doubts about marriage. Nothing specific, just...
