Any spare moment you have together is an opportunity to be intimate. The key is to show affection in the moments you do not expect intamacy, and she will respond better to your advances.View Thread

Thanks for the input.View Thread

He drinks 2 rocks glasses of vodka (straight) (filled) 4-5 times a week. Yes I think he has a drinking problem.
I guess I feel like either he is holding in his anger and just going to blow at any minute, or I will say or do something and wait for him to come back at me but he doesn't. He just holds it in. So do I forgive him for all the bad that he has done and accept this "new" man?View Thread

So now I feel torn, thinking do I believe that he has actually changed or do I think it's just the pills? It's hard to continue living a somewhat "normal life" with him knowing that there is a divorce looming over us and knowing that I can stop it at any time. Do I ask him to try to stop taking the 2nd pill to see if he has self control. or do I try to work it out with a husband who has to take 2 antidepressents and continues to drink 4-5 nights a week, (which is intensified from the pills)?View Thread


He is a good man, I know this. But he continues to say that I never told him I was unhappy, when I remember telling him, "I cannot do this marriage, be with him, without help." and I begged him to see a counseler last year and he refused.
I love him, he is the father of my children and he knows I am a good wife and mother and now that I'm not tolerating it anymore, he wants to change. I feel so broken, don't know if I have it in me to forgive and forget. I'll always be walking on eggshells wondering what will set him off.
Am I stupid?View Thread

Do you spend enough fun, quality time with eachother? Are you making that a priority?
Evaluate your budget, your careers and your prioirities and see where you can give and take. arguments are normal, but stress is deadly to a marriage if it goes unresolved.View Thread

Now he is telling me that it was politics and the economy and his need to control situations that he couldn't control that was making him so angry and mean and that that he is trying to change. He desperatly says he loves me and will do anything to keep our family together. Yet in the same sentence he says that I have problems too and I this, and I that... He is going to counseling and accepts responsibility, and has made some positive changes (like having more patience with our sons and with me and helping out more around the house.) Yet he still harbors this angry, intense, controling behavior and when I tell him how I feel, it comes out. He still acts the same when there is a "bump in the road." Angry over the little things, but now he says it's because we have a divorce looming over our heads. I keep telling him that we just need to take things one day at a time and see what happens. If he is going to change for the positive, then things will work out. But he cannot get angry at me all the time and he has to treat me with respect and kindness. I deserve that much. He says I'm asking too much from him to tell him he cannot get angry.
My question is this, am I giving him false hope? And should I give him another chance? I'm so hurt and confused.View Thread

The thing that concerns me the most is that my bff and her husband have really taken my divorce hard. It's not that they don't agree with it, they are just upset about the kids and whats going to happen to them and they think I will be a wreck without my kids every day. The thing is, I have never bad mouthed my husband. I have kept my unhappiness and the bad things private and put a smile on my face for the world. When they talk to my husband, they say things that he twists and turns to mean something else. I don't need any more drama!View Thread
