Topic : Repairing Broken Relationships

You need to ask yourself some serious questions: Why is it up to you to make everyone else happy? What makes YOU happy? Why do you have to do this all by yourself? Why would you "lose him" (your words) by being honest... after all, these are only facts you are speaking of, for example, the wages that you earn. Why would he leave you about that... you can't make the wage higher, thats out of your control! Be honest with yourself. There are solutions to your situation, you've got to open up your minds, both of you, in order to pull through these hard times. 

Its honorable that your husband is a stay at home father. Is it possible that he could get a second shift job that pays more then your second shift job, this way you can be home more and he can get out more? His depression isn't only due to lack of money, its also due to lack of connection/contact with other people out in the world. Having a job, even a part time one, can help fulfill that need. It will give you time to be home with your children, there are things that they need from you that they can't get from dad. No child can get all their needs met from one parent.  

This must be very difficult for you, its obvious that you feel torn, but you don't need to do this to yourself. There is no need to be a martyr. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled in life, and you do not deserve to live with these feelings of doom all the time! No wonder you are depressed. You need to be gentle with yourself. You can't do it all!  

Just one more interesting fact: Women only make 70% of what men make (or in your case, could make) out in the working force... that means it is more profitable for your husband to work instead of you, and you guys could get out of your financial trouble sooner rather then later, or maybe never, with you working for the wages that you are making.

hello....i have a tough question.....im 23 years old and i still live at home with my parents b/c im going to school to get my teaching certificate. ive been in a relationship with a guy for about 4 months.  Ive known him most of my life and we are best friends. My parents know him and also trust him. About a month ago he asked me to go to a wedding with him in another state which would mean that we would have to stay over night for one night. We were planing to go with another couple. When i told my parents about this they totally disagreed and said that it was inappropriate for me to spend the night with him. I really dont know what to do about this situation b/c i feel that i am old enough to make my own choices but i also feel that b/c im living at home they still have a lot of control over me. my parents are strict but i want to be able to have an adult relationship with my boyfriend so what do you think i should do about this situation?  

Hi! 

I woke up this morning with a horrible pain in my stommach, that continued for quite a while. My husband was already up getting ready for school and seemed quite concerend about me to, since I couldn't even walk streight from all the pain. I tried to reach my Dr., but it was to early in the morning. My husband asked me, if there is anything he could do for me, I said there is nothing he can do, so he went to take a shower. After a while, I started hearing some noises from the shower, I could tell that he was pleasuring himself... I was vert shocked and hurt, and confronted him right away. How could he think about his own pleasure while I was being so miserable??? I mean, I don't mind what he was doing, but am I the only one thinking that the timing was just absolutely sick?!
