  • why did my new husband do this?

    So yesterday I suggested to.my new husband of.only.a few months that he should get something for his ex wife for mothers day as a gift from his children . The children are only 5 and 8 as they cannot do it themselves. I asked him before and after he went to visit the kids and his mom( HIS CHILDREN AND EX LIVE WITH HIS.MOTHER) if he was going to get the gift and if he had . He said no both times. Well today I see a post from.his ex on fb that said he did in fact get a card and candy as gift from the children to.his ex and how she threw it away Bc she does.not want anything from him. They were separated close to a year when we met so no I did.not steel him although he was still LEGALLY married. She has always been bitter about us. Now needless to say when I saw this posting on fb I was livid Bc he had lied. I asked him why he says he thought I would be mad is why he lied yet I was the one who suggested the gift in the first place. I was really hurt abd felt betrayed. Now why on earth would he lie and should I be concerned about his ex? Should I not trust him anymore?

  • why is it.so.hard being a second wife.and how.can I make it better?

    I have been married just a few months. I love my husband and he loves me.The problem.is his.mom has never met me.but.not.because he doesn't want her to. She herself always finds a reason not.to have me.over and I believe its because his ex wife shares a homewith his.mother. believe she does it.out.of.respect for the ex wife. They have two children from.their.marriage a 5 year old.girl and 8 year old.boy. the daughter and are quite close.but his son refuses to.meet me.And I still cannot be around his ex because she is guaranteed to start drama. My husband does everything he can to make me feel better and secure. I'm very secure in our marriage but his ex his mom and his son all make me feel like n outsider.like our lives can never truly be joined. He is even a good father figure to my 8 and 4 yr old boys. The situation is really startig to make me depressed.What can I do? Has anyone else had similar experiences?

  • whats up with my boyfriend wanting to wait so long to kiss or have sex?

    Let me start by saying I am a grown woman of 25 he is 24 we been dating for a month. He won't even tongue kiss or kiss me with an open mouth. He says he has to feel mire comfortable for such an intimate act so only pecks for now. He also said the same thing about heavy affection or sex. We do cuddle when we sleep but that's it. I'm starting to wonder if he really likes me though he continues to see me. I let him know for first time last night I was ready for sex I came on to him and thats all the things he told me. All this time I thought he was just to shy to make the first move. We are grown! What's going on here? Neither one if us has had sex in 3 to 6 months

  • Should i do this if my husband is doing it?

    My husband separated from me a week ago because of a past hurt that he cannot forgive me for. However he wants to remain living together with the kids. Already he is seeking out other women. I don't want the marriage to end but should I see other people too instead of standing by waiting to see if he finds someone else?

  • About marriage:Why are things like this and what does it all mean?

    I have always thought this was not fair and have gotten angry a few times with the God i love because of it. the thing is when you get married it is for life. well we all know women must bear children as eve's punishment. but it is never explained why having babies so horribly wrecks a woman's body yet leaves the husband untouched. my point is this. if something goes wrong and they divorce the woman has to work way harder to find a new husband that will accept the kids AND the husbands leftovers. of course single moms get remarried all the time but it is way harder when you have had a couple kids and your body is not fresh anymore. on the other hand the man pretty much leaves the marriage looking pretty much the same as he came in and usually the kids stay with mom so they have it made. they still look good and have no kids on the hip. i sometimes wonder because of all this if God intentionally made it so women are basically spoiled fruit and men can go on making lives and families with no changes to them. i mean yeah men marry women with kids but they would prefer a young fresh woman who have not been spoiled by having another mans kids already. my bottom line is that marriage and kids typically change a woman so much physically that it is hard to make a new relationship if that marriage ends while it does nothing much to change a mans ability to attract women. i feel like a woman life ends if her husband leaves but men have the option of starting over as many times as they want to. i feel that this is also why ultimately men cheat when their wife dont look so great after a few kids they go find some young girl to mess with but what young man wants an older lady with stretch marks and fat? why would God make it this way so that women get old fast but men stay young looking for a long time?

  • Is this a lose lose situation with my husband and how can i win?

    My husband and i have one child together. i have one from a previous marriage but my husband is Daddy to him as he was only two when we met and we have been together four years. during my pregnancy with the youngest child my husband became distant and stopped sleeping with me the last few months of pregnancy. family members claimed they saw him kissing a girl who lived in our neighborhood at the time. of course he denied it but long story short i believe he started cheating when i became physically unattractive to him during pregnancy. a few months after our son was born things seemed to go back to normal. now there are talks of another baby. i am scared even though i want one too. i never want to feel as ugly and miserable as i did last time and i do not want my husband turning away again. i am also scared if i DONT give him another child that he will seek to have one with somebody else or leave me. i feel in a lose lose situation with my husband. we are very happy again and i do not want to lose him. HERE MY QUESTIONS............. 1.will HAVING another baby or NOT having another baby do more damage to the relationship? has anyone else had this problem? what is your best advice for me?

  • Is this a good reason not to have more kids with my husband?

    My husband and i got together four years ago. i had a two year old at the time whom he has became Daddy to. we then had a child between up who is now two. the pregnancy was planned. my husband asked to have a baby. the first couple months he wanted me all the time. when i started to show he would barely touch me sexually or barely showed any affection. he was grumpy and slept on the couch most nights for the last three months of my pregnancy. soon after our son was born my sisters claimed to see him kissing another woman. it happened to be a woman who also lived in our neighborhood. i confronted him and he denied it even to my sisters face and even threatened to leave me if i did not stop accusing him of what my sisters say they saw. so i never proved it but i feel extremely confident in saying he had an affair during the last months of my pregnancy. when our son was a few months old things gradually returned to normal including our sex life and he even proposed and got married. i feel like the affair happened as a result of him losing his attraction to me during all the physical changes of pregnancy. for those few months i was miserable as i have ever been. i cannot bear the thought of my husband not wanting to touch me and turning else where. now he is talking of wanting another kid. i also want another but i am very on the fence in fear that another pregnancy will turn my husband away from me again. i also worry if i dont give him another child he might turn to someone else since kids are pretty important. i do not know what to do. i feel i will lose if i give him a baby and lose him if i dont. i have explained my fears and he basically says he does not remember me being so miserable and that he did not cheat and cant explain not wanting sex when i was pregnant. is my reasoning a good one not to give him more babies? is it guaranteed he will do this again if i have another baby? will i lose him either way? advice please.

  • Should married couples obey or disobey God in this situation?

    So everyone knows the Bible says be fruitful and multiply. we can assume he means married people since sex according to the Bible is forbidden. Now people are always going on about financially poor married people having kids they cannot support. my aunt and her husband were never wealthy and often struggled but the more kids they had the better finances got. they have four kids and a grandchild and finances are better than ever. my point is that Christian faith is based off faith alone which is TRUSTING God. so does anyone ever think just like with giving tithes and trusting God to multiply it, as a married couple with a working father and relationship with God you obey Him by being FRUITFUL and he will take care of your family. They must TRUST God by following His word even if they dont have money and cannot see a way. His ways are not our ways. what do you think? should poor Christian couples disobey God by not being fruitful because they cant see how they will support the kids? or should they be "logical" and not trust God to take care of them because they are doing His bidding?

  • A question for wives and brides to be?

    There are many styles of wedding dresses from a-line, mermaid, ball gown/princess look,tea length etc. i find that most people on here and people in my social circles and family do not like the ball gown/princess style wedding gown. i was pretty shocked because i thought a lot more women liked that look . i know not all but i did not expect the majority NOT to like it. personally i love it and i am wearing a bright white ball gown style dress since its likely that you will only get to wear a dress like that once in a lifetime. so i was just curious about you other brides to be and wives, WHAT STYLE OF DRESS DID YOU WEAR OR PLAN TO WEAR FOR YOUR WEDDING?
