I've been married for 33 years, so I know what it takes to make a successful long-term relationship, which is why I love the Marriage & Divorce category. Feel free to email me - I enjoy hearing from fans and haters alike, not to mention people who want private advice to a personal problem.
Have you ever in your life experienced unrequited love?
If not, do you consider yourself lucky?
Either way, any details you'd care to provide would be appreciated.
7 AnswersMarriage & Divorce5 years agoWhat do women mean when they say they feel "used" by a man who has sex with them but won't commit?
What I don't understand is how the man is using the woman any more than the woman is using the man. They are BOTH getting sex, and the woman having sex with the man in completely voluntary on her part. So what I don't understand is how this scenario in inequitable in any way.
Just FYI, I am being sincere. The concept eludes me.
17 AnswersMarriage & Divorce5 years agoIf you have been diagnosed with a chronic mental illness, do you believe you are obligated to discuss this with your partner before marriage?
Even if your symptoms are under control?
Why or why not? In my opinion, you really ought to disclose to your partner any important information before marrying, because complications could arise in the future. Seems to me this is something that you'd want your future spouse to be mentally prepared to deal with, just in case. But, I am open to alternate opinions.
13 AnswersMarriage & Divorce6 years agoIf you do not oppose gay marriage, would you oppose bisexual marriage?
Gay marriage is becoming legal in more and more states as the acceptance of it broadens. Would you be in favor of a bisexual person being able legally to be married to both a woman and a man at the same time, assuming all parties involved were consenting adults? Why or why not?
Just FYI, I do believe this should be legal, and I am not opposed to gay marriage. But, I'd like to hear others' opinions.
15 AnswersMarriage & Divorce7 years agoWould you want your spouse to tell you about having been propositioned for sex?
Let's say, for example, that your spouse went to a concert - you didn't go, because you weren't interested. While there, your spouse got into a conversation with a member of the opposite sex. At some point, this person proposed sex with your spouse. Your spouse told the person, "No, I'm married." But the other person said that's OK, lets do it anyway. Your spouse may have thought the other person was good looking, but still turned down the proposition, and that was the end of that, and they never had contact again.
Now your spouse is feeling a bit guilty about having felt flattered about what happened. Would you want your spouse to tell you any of this? All of this? None of this?
16 AnswersMarriage & Divorce7 years agoDo women like it when married men make advances on them?
Do you like it? Do you like it in some circumstances but not in others? If the married man looks attractive, does that affect whether you like it or not?
I ask because it seems like a lot of women ask questions here like, "Why did this married man say this to me?" Sometimes I wonder if they are flattered by the attention, or merely clueless.

15 AnswersMarriage & Divorce9 years agoHas your sexual organ ever been bruised?
If so, was the cause sexual, or due to some other mishap or accident?

I honestly cannot recall my penis having ever been bruised for any reason, so I am wondering how common it it.

13 AnswersMarriage & Divorce9 years agoDo you keep friends who you know to be serial cheaters? 2 points!?
Let's say you have a friend who you know cheats on their spouse, or on the person with whom they are supposedly in a committed relationship. Does this affect your friendship? Do you remain friends with people who behave this way? I would think that most people would not remain real friends with a cheater, just because such people are dishonest. By extension, why would a person even consider being friends with an ex they know to have cheated on them during the relationship?
Inspired by: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ancpq...
And yes, I said 2 points, not 10. Of all the people who answer this, everyone will get 2 points, but only one person will get 10. So I figured putting "10 points" in my main question would have been false advertising.
14 AnswersMarriage & Divorce9 years agoWere there things you wanted to do before you got married, but did not?
What were those things? And finally, what is preventing you from doing them now that you're married?
8 AnswersMarriage & Divorce9 years agoWhen you start dating someone, is it automatically expected to be exclusive?
If you go out with a person, is the assumption that you will not go out with anyone else and neither will he? Is it acceptable to date more than one person at a given time in your life, or is this not allowed anymore?
I ask because it seems to me like people nowadays expect immediate exclusivity. In the past, it was acceptable to date more than one person at a time as long as you were not falsely telling the people you were dating that they were the only one. My perception is that this has changed. Has it?
6 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoWho initiates sex in your marriage?
Who initiates, you or your spouse? Is it always the same person, usually the same person, or it varies?
Whichever the case, are you satisfied with the way the initiation of sex works in your marriage?
If it's not obvious by your answer, please state if you are male or female.
16 AnswersMarriage & Divorce10 years agoIn the course of your marriage, how did it go for you, regarding your spouse's faults?
Were you able to accept your spouse's faults and learn to live comfortably with them? Did the faults perhaps lessen in severity over time?
Or did your spouse's faults make you increasingly uncomfortable? Perhaps they even got worse over time?
To what degree does tolerance of your spouse's faults come down to whatever *your* attitude about them is?
8 AnswersMarriage & Divorce10 years agoHow would you respond if your spouse asked you if you would ever consider participating in a threesome?
This is a hypothetical question, so if you don't know what that means, please go away without answering.
Imagine your spouse asking you if you would ever consider being in a threesome together. How would your answer vary, if at all, if your spouse were discussing a threesome with a person who is the opposite sex than you, vs. a threesome with a person who is the same sex as you? How would your answer be different between those conditions, and why?
If it is not clear by your answer or avatar, please state whether you are male or female.
24 AnswersMarriage & Divorce10 years agoDo you like or dislike this feeling?
You’re at an amusement park, seated in one of the cars of a brand new roller coaster, just opened up to the public. One of the coaster employees has just clicked the safety bar down onto you. In the distance, you can hear the screams of the people riding this same roller coaster, in the other of the two trains in operation. Up ahead, the signal light turns green, and you know your ride is going to begin in seconds.
In that exact instant, do you like the feeling you’re having, or dislike it?
17 AnswersPolls & Surveys10 years agoDo you believe some marriages could be improved if women watched more porn?
Some women seem downright paranoid about porn, as though it is this horrible thing. Might they better understand their husbands if they got over their pornophobia and watched it themselves?

Have you ever had a separation during your marriage, or known someone who did? If so, was it helpful, harmful, or did it have no effect? How long did it last? And, are separated people allowed to have physical relationships with other people during a separation?
