Am I being too harsh or is this reality?
Married 2 yrs been together 7. Husband 35 Im 30. When I met him I explained I wasnt sure about having kids. He was okay with this. I have some issues that may allow one child if I were to change me mind. Here lately Ive noticed that hes been talking as if we are going to have a child and while a short thought or two about it is okay...Im still leaning against no children. My husband has had.issues with working for a while and his priorities have not been the best. Hes not helpful when it comes to cleaning and hes alwas busy and has a reason not to do his share around the house etc. I will admit Im not perfect either. In the past out of frustration I have yelled and screamed and been disrespectful. I feel like because of his not doing his part when its just him and I that a baby is not a good idea. I mean what you see is what you get. Others seem to think thats harsh, but I see what they go through. Husbands always gone doing what they want and wives at home doing it all and not happy. Im currently praying about this. Need guidance and input. Ive talked to my husband hes not a bad man just kinda lazy. He feels like Hes doing nothing wrong and just doesnt understand how children change things.
4 AnswersReality Television10 years agoMy man is having difficulties being a husband?
My husband and I have been married a year in a half. After a year of being unemployed hes finally employed! The problem is we are not coming together as a married couple. He does his own thing and sometimes we will do stuff together. This sometimes is very rare. We dont sleep in the same bed (he had insomnia most of the time) and his work hours dont allow us to eat dinner together. I really wanted a marriage that allowed us to bond and still do things apart but Im not happy with this. When we try to talk all we do it fight, and Im tired of it. When I say we should separate he claims we took vows. Im not sure whats going on...but im ready.to throw in the towel before I stop liking him at all. He says he feels I dont respect him. Im really trying here with no avail. In the beginning he was kind, and gentle, thoughtful, and very passionate. Now I know he loves me but its not the same at all. Suggestions and prayers are appreciated.

1 AnswerEconomics1 decade agoWedding ring carat sizes.?
Im married been married 2 years and beem together 6. When my husband proposed he gave me a very large carat ring. Almost triple what most are. I didnt ask for it he got what he could afford to get, and what he wanted me to have. Well I was out with some friends and one of the other married ladies saw my ring. She says "you make me want to put my ring under the table" wow I thought thats disrespectful to your husband.
So now every time I hang out with the other married women they make me feel terrible for having a bigger ring than theirs. They make me feel bad almost. This is not my issue is it? I feel like this is something that has nothing to do with me and more to do with them being superficial. I would have taken whatever my man gave me. I love him
Any suggestions on how to deal with them? I have to because some are the wives of my husbands friends.
5 AnswersWeddings1 decade agoThe frustration is making me want out! Am I being too hard on him?
Am I being too hard on him?
Need help! My husband has been out of work a year and a couple of months. He was getting unemployment and got cut off now I feel like hes taking his time looking for full time employment. He works a part time job on the weekends and has taken a temp job or two for a few days here and there. My problem is he seems to be putting goin out, and flag football ahead of his job search. When I say anything he states he pays the car insurance and buys groceries thats something! Im not ungrateful, im just losing respect for him as the man of the house and the provider because Im paying everything else... Its frustrating and gone on long enough. Instead of reassurance about his job search, I get excuses and it turns into a fight. Wondering if I have the wrong husband?

4 AnswersBuying & Selling1 decade agoIs this just a Phase of marriage?
Been with husband who is 34 six years and married one. Im 29. Hes so selfish. He had to work when we were moving, so my dad came and helped. When my parents moved, they asked for his help and he said he was busy... He does stuff like this all the time.
These last two years have sucked! He puts his friends and hanging out before his marriage, and hes basically living a separate life. We have tried to discuss things and it wrks for about a week. Hes working part time and Im carrying the weight. We have no children. Ive told him I really need his help and support but its not phasing him. Ive asked to separate but he says we need counseling. I agreed but when.it came time to pay for this counseling he says he doesnt have the money. He certainly has funds to hang out every Thursday and shop! Im really starting to lose respect for him, and resent him. Im about to just go file.for divorce and hand him the papers. Hes like having an 18 yr. Old. Help suggestions please!
7 AnswersMarriage & Divorce1 decade agoi asked for a temporary separation but husband wont leave?
My husband is 34 and is not working. He has not worked in over a yr. He plays sports all morning everyday and goes out with friends on weekends. No children. When i try to talk to him about his poor prioritizing he gets mad. When i try to talk to him about him putting friends before our marriage he gets mad. He manipulated to go out this weekend and stayed gone until 330am. I left went to my parents and left a note saying we needed to separate. Im home now and he has not said one word to me and wont leave either. I could hear him sniffling in the other room but he wont talk. What should i do now? We need this space. He is way too comfy with me footing the bill and him having no responsibilities. My heart is drying up.

15 AnswersMarriage & Divorce1 decade agoMy husband Doesn't do much around the house?
My husband doesn't do many chores around the house and is kind of lazy. I don't mind for the most part because it's just him and I no kids. When I first met him I told him I did not want children, and he was okay with this. Well now he's kind of hinting around that he wants to have kids but he claims he would be fine if we didn't. The problem is he does not understand that I don't want children because he is lazy. I refuse to do it ALL and take care of an extra person. I've explained this to him and he just doesn't get it. I told him if he wanted children he should have jumped in a long time ago and showed me we could be a team with the little things. But he didn't. Now I cannot trust that it will change after a baby, and I'm not willing to risk it. Am I wrong? Or are there any suggestions?

1 AnswerDiet & Fitness1 decade agoShould I move on I'm really clueless.?
Been in a relationship for almost 5 years now engaged for 4 years. For the most part its a good relationship but he's a bit immature and and just doesn't get that marriage is teamwork. He's thoughtful here and there and very funny. He doesn't make a lot of money but worked really hard to get me a nice engagement ring. The family likes him too. The problem is he never wants to really go anywhere or do anything anymore, he always wants to do things alone and when I ask to go workout with him or run with him he says its his time to reflect. He works long hours so I'm alone alot and Sundays he's off but he's resting mostly then. I cannot talk to him about anything because its never a good time and we just fight... I'm paying most of the bills because he had to take a paycut. I'm just tired. He doesn't motivate me to do anything I almost feel like he's just here. At the same time I feel really sad th thought of us not being together. There is a level of respect that is just not there anymore. Please help.
