My husband and I have been married for 5 years, he's 26 and I'm 23. We have a 3 year old daughter together and a 2 year old son together and he has a 2 year old daughter. Back in 07 we split up for 4 months because we were having a lot of problems and were constantly getting angry with each other and sometimes things got physical between us. He went to the cops and totally exaggerated what went on and completey left out the fact that he was also physical towards me and I was arrested and spent 4 days in jail and another 3 months without my daughter even though I had been proven innocent in a court. I took my husband back after 4 months and by this point he had already got another girl pregnant, and just after we got back together I got pregnant with our son. Since we got back together it doesn't seem like he loves me like he used to and I'm constantly depressed. Lately he's been hurting our daughter's feelings and when I bring it to his attention that he's done so he just brushes it off and even said once that he doesn't care. He also frequently hurts my feelings and is constantly putting other things such as work, video games, and television before me and the kids. I love my husband very much but I'm beginning to feel like I'd have an easier time with the kids and be happier if we weren't together. I'm not saying I'm perfect, I've certainly said some hurtful things when I've been angry with him for seemingly ignoring the kids and I, but I realize what I've said after I've said it and immediately apologize and tell him, I'm sorry but I get angry with you because it seems like you just don't want to pay attention to your wife and kids. He also will not help me discipline and then when the kids misbehave he blames it on me and tells me that I'm a bad mom. Also, when I get mad at him he frequently threatens to have me arrested again. What should I do? How can I make him understand that I do in fact want to be with him, but I'm not sure how much longer I can deal with being a walking sex toy. Really, that's just about the only attention I get, and it has to be on his terms. I'm at my wits end here, and I don't want my family to be a broken one. Oh, one more thing, if I say that I'm not happy and I've considered leaving, he says that if I leave he'll just kill himself. How do I deal with this, he used to be such a different person, loving, caring, always there whenever I needed him and now when I'm upset or need help with the kids he just tells me to grow up and stop being childish, and he even pulled that one about a week after my grandmother died, the song that played at her funeral came on the radio and I started to cry and he told me to "grow up and get over it you childish b****." Definitely need some advice because all my family will say is "well, you married him, deal with it." And that really doesn't help me. I've suggested counseling and at that point he just flips out saying how it's obvious I want a divorce and counseling is BS and if I did leave him I'll never find anyone else because no man will put up with my need for affection.

My husband and I love mexican food but feel that it is very difficult to find anything of real quality around here. If you find the food quality, the place sucks otherwise, if you find a nice place, the food sucks. Anyone have any AUTHENTIC mexican recipes? A good tamale recipe would be cool too.

A friend of mine has a German Sheperd, and her brother has a Beagle. Well, one's male, one's female, and neither are fixed... You do the math. Their dad said they had to get rid of the resulting litter, and I've offered to take one of the pups. This mix isn't aggressive is it? Because I have a one year old daughter... Of course, she loves puppies. Also, what are any health issues I may have to look out for?
