This is a completely unreasonable expectation. Assume NOTHING! If you haven't actually said "I need you to end it with her, if I have to end it with HR", then you have no right to expect the same. He has every right to be pissed that you expected this without stating it out loud. COUNSELING...

Bullshit!!!! Your son was the one that told you about the GF. Kids see all the drama. As for the rest... If you are committed to making this work, seek marriage counseling and commit to attending for a year or two. This wont be easy.

Happy Birthday a day late.

Hugs!

Sounds like 3rd or 4th childitis to me :). I'm guessing you have the necessities, car seat, diapers, blankets and a place for bub to sleep. Sometimes after a while, all the other stuff is just clutter to take over your lives and interfere with the important things, like a mini-break with the...

I admit, I did read the delete post prior to it being deleted. It sounds to me like there are a lot of different items that need to be addressed and they are coming all together and making things expand exponentially. My suggestions is to break things down into much smaller parts and deal with...

That simple apology MATTERS! It took me 20 years and the help of a therapist to make my husband realize that a simple "I'm sorry" is vitally important. I can count on one hand how many times he had actually said to me "I'm sorry". He used to argue that he "explained" what happened, therefore an...

It's hard to hear all the complaining over and over again, knowing they won't do a damn thing to correct the situation. Sometimes you just can't take it anymore and have to tell them to take steps to make changes (marriage counselor, divorce, go back to school, etc) or STFU. Making no changes =...

In this day an age of internet & paperless record keeping, I still find it ridiculous that "official" transcripts have to be delivered in physical unopened, sealed, paper form. --What Gala Girl said-- Hugs!

The surviving spouse is eligible for 100% of their spouse's benefits (assuming the deceased spouse's benefits are more) at their full retirement age. She can claim SS as early as age 62, but full retirement age is considered 67, so anything claimed prior to 67 is reduced based on some...

The cheapest way to attend community theater and Renaissance Faires, is to volunteer. This will also surround yourself with people who are interested in similar activities as yourself.

My sympathies. My dad died last October, so I empathize. The next few months will be a roller coaster of emotions. Take it easy on yourself, make lists, and just take it one thing at a time. We waited 3 weeks for the funeral and we still felt overwhelmed and scattered by everything. We...

My husband is can be the worlds worst communicators, but it took 20 years before he would admit it to himself. He "thought" he was communicating, he always "claimed" to be open to talking about things first, etc. In truth, instead of talking about things, he would do, then blame me for being...

I highly suggest the counseling option! I live with a passive-aggressive person and have just recently learned how to identify and deal with it. It is crazy-making! This might be helpful: http://divorcesupport.about.com/od/abusiverelationships/a/Pass_Agg.htm People joke about when a wife...

I agree with Gala Girl & Magdlyn. This behavior is abusive and it may be time to seek legal advice!

Time to work on being more "articulate" and respond immediately to your friends comments, like: "I LIKE the relationship dynamic as it is! Stop trying to get me to change things to suite your fantasies, they aren't mine." "I would be saddened and horrified if he and his wife broke up! Why in...

This really isn't YOUR problem! For now, I'd let it go, likely it will end soon, probably with much drama on her part, but it's not your dilemma to solve. Talk to your husband about your insecurities on the lack of communication, the secrecy and you want to keep any drama out of your life. aka...

Wait, what, I didn't hear about the free cap and train whistles. I think mine got lost in the mail or is there a sign up sheet? :p

Some people just don't connect well with infants, lets face it, they are demanding, greedy, selfish little creatures. It's likely he will connect more with them when they can interact with him better. In the mean time, he's the favorite "uncle", not the parent. I know not what you guys had...
