i've been married for almost 5 years. my relationship with my husband was never really sweet and perfect since he had his philandering activities. after catching my husband 4 times, i grew tired of the relationship and started to become complacent. my life became more complicated when i got involved with another guy, a married man whom i work with. for some reason i don't know why i gave in. i like the guy. he has some attributes that my husband lacks. but the guy is also married and is 10 years older than i am. after 1 month of being in a "relationship", his wife found out about us. since then the wife has been sending me threatening text message and have been wanting to smack me in the face. i tried to break away from the guy, but the guy insisted that i stay with him. and honestly, i have completely fallen for him.

it's been almost 2 months now, and the wife still threatens me and the guy does not want me to leave him.

im so confused...please, i need someone with an open mind...

Can anyone give me an idea on people in Dubai? What is their culture? Common attitude? Etc... Would really appreciate detailed answers. Thanks.

i am a professional working in a company that offers a lot of opportunities for a business. i have no problem with my boss and my collegues. My boss even sponsored by MBA and i was able to finish it in no time. i think the problem is me. my boss is always up for new business opportunities and he is really serious about it. he shares whatever he sees can be of advantage for me. but i dont feel any excitement when i am offered an opportunity. i am not the type of person when you present an idea i can easily think of hundreds of business opportunities. i feel that i am in the wrong place. don't get me wrong, i've learned a lot in the business field by going up the ranks. i feel lost and i dont even know what i should be doing if i resign. i feel lost.

would appreciate if anybody can walk me through in making me understand of my situation. thanks.

ive been working this company for more than 3 years already. ive learned a lot and have realized my capabilities which i never knew i can do. but now, the company has reached to the point of stream lining. i havent gotten a raise for over 2 years now but the company pays for my masteral course which i treated as a raise already. just recently, the managing director met with us (the working group) and explained to us that we need to push the on-going projects in order for us to get the salary we wanted. im ok with that but financial difficulties are making me think twice and pushing me to try my luck with other companies. i've loved the people and the company as my family. but with the situation now, im torn and it feels heavy that im being pushed to go out and find another work. any advise will be greatly appreciated.

ive been married for almost 2 years now. my husband and i used to live in my parents house (for some asians, this is a normal practice) because the house is too big for my parents and we couldnt afford to lease before. 7 months ago, i forced myself and my husband to move out of the house due to some problems with my parents. now, we are crunching on our finances just for us to fit in all our expenses. my husband and i have been having arguements about money. now im having 2nd thoughts of going back to my parents house because true enough that with me and my husband's salary, it's belt-tightening. it's not about my pride, but i believe that this is a learning for me and my husband as we are starting our life together....would appreciate any suggestions...thanks!

my husband hates confrontations. whenever we get into an arguement he just gives in leaving me guilty that i am pushing him to do what i want. in turn i become the bad guy. i am not pushy but there are times that i want him to understand my point and not just close his mind about it.

How do I move on and appreciate all that is around me when all I feel inside me is emptiness. It's like I am always looking for something and yet I couldn't find it in my work, my husband, most especially not in my family...I am thinking it must be my life and my family background. I never enjoyed my childhood and most of the time it was full of criticism and hatred..I call it the disfunctional family. I don't know where to gather and pull my strength and drive...please help...
