I have three best friends and then one of them (Sarah) is only hanging out with my other best friend (Morgan). All they do is exclude my other best friend (Julia) and I. It is so awkward when we go places together because Sarah never lets me in on anything. We were never in a fight, so I don’t think I need to apologize for anything.

I’ll try to make this short — but there really is a lot involved. Most of which probably won’t get touched on here.
We have been married for 13 1/2 years, and I can probably count the number of times we’ve slept together on both hands. During the beginning of our marriage, sex was more frequent – maybe once every couple of months, but we have not had relations now in 8 years.

I don’t know what to do anymore and I feel like a maid or a roommate instead of a wife. I really want the marriage to work, but I didn’t sign up for this. I’m not looking for it every night, but 8 years without? I don’t think I’m being unreasonable. Read the rest of this entry »

My husband and I have been married for five years and have 2 wonderful children. About 2 years ago our family relocated to live closer to his family, now everything is a mess.

I cannot do anything right even if I wanted to for my mother in law. I don’t take care of my children right, my house is not good enough, need I say more?  Anytime I mention her overbearingness, my husband thinks that I’m attacking her. He also wont say anything to her and lets her control my children even when we are there.

I don’t want to upset my husband… and I want to keep peace in the family. However, I want MY family back. My husband lets her tell him what to do and my kids repeat things she says about me to me. Its driving me insane and I’m about ready to exploded. Please help.

I have recently returned home after a rough year overseas in Ireland where I lived with my boyfriend.

I got very sick traveling and was in hospital and then pretty much in bed for 4 months straight. My boyfriend Wasn’t very supportive and believed my attitude was bad, and he put me down a lot to his parents. As I started to recover I fell pregnant to him and he would get so angry, yell, and call me every name because of not much at all.

One day I caught him chatting with another girl which he was supposed to meet up with and I was so upset. He just got really angry at me. I then had a miscarriage and his temper got worse everything was my fault. He was filled with bitterness for going overseas and leaving his friends for me, even though we were in Ireland where he is from.

He still was so angry at me and every time we had a disagreement his rage would take over Read the rest of this entry »

It’s weird. I graduated from Towson and I’m about to buy a house. I have a good job, even though I feel that I’m not using all of my abilities to do the manual labor, I’m not too sad about where I work.

My main problem is that I need a woman in my life. All my life I’ve had girlfriends that I was happy with, but about 4 years ago I went through a terrible time that, looking back, has cursed me. I was dating this beautiful girl named Jen from Australia. We dated for over a year and we were very happy together, but when I came back from Australia and she stayed, I cheated on her. I told her about it and when she wanted to stay together, I said that I wanted to be single.

This is the reason I feel cursed. The girl I cheated on her with gave me genital warts and didn’t tell me she had it and she was really messed up in the head. She cheated on me numerous times and just caused so much pain in my life that I was very depressed and took the illness straight to heart, vowing not to give it to someone else in the hurtful way it was given to me. I didn’t have sex for two years. Read the rest of this entry »
