What I find particularly messed up is that there can be a Christian dating commercial on TV but no commercials with gays in them? All the gay commercials get banned!

I know this probably sounds pretty whiney because people have much bigger problems but here it goes: I can"t get me husband to stop criticizing me and telling me I am stupid or ugly. He puts me down almost everyday about soemthing big or small. If I show that my feelings are hurt or I cry he ends up putting that down too. I don’t cry in front of him anymore unless I really can’t help it. I sort of got used to a lot of the put downs, but lately he’s been saying kind of mean things about the way I look. I used to be really pretty but I am almost 50 and have 4 kids. I still work out everyday but everbody gets older, right? Also, since I got laid off I haven’t been spending money on the things I used to do like expensive salons for hair coloring etc. I do the best I can with at home tricks and stuff. about a week ago he was in a bad mood and said that I used to have good looks but I don’t even have those anymore and today he actually called me ugly. I know it shouldn’t matter this much but i feel like that was the last thing i could stand hearing. I just always thought that even if no other guys looked at you anymore at least your husband was going to always think you were beautil even when you were ninety! anyway, please don’t tell me to leave because i can’t at least until the kids are older: 2 yr old, 6 yr old twins, 13 yr old. and please also don’t tell me to talk to him whan he’s in a good mood because i’ve tried that. if anyone can help me i’d be really thankful because lately i just feel like my heart is breaking. thanks

We began having kids 2 years later. Now, 15 years and 3 kids later she says that she doesn’t know who she really is. She thinks something was missing from the start, and if not for the kids, she would have left me years ago. She believes that she has everything a girl could want, but that isn’t enough. What if her "soul mate" is out there? How will she really know if I am the one if she doesn’t even really know who she is herself. She wants a trial separation with no outside dating. She wants us to date and attend all functions together (a united front). She has never been alone her entire life. She thinks that maybe this separation will be just the kick to get her thinking more clearly.
What do you think?

My fiance came to me and expressed concerns that he may need anger management. His work history is less than perfect because of his angry outbursts and behavior on the job. He is in the process of finding a new job but now his anger issues are taking place in our home and I do not want the situation to escalate out of control. I agreed to accompany him when he sees a counselor but I want to know what to expect. Sometimes I can express myself better through writing, so would it be a good idea for me to keep a log of his behavior to discuss with the counselor? Has anyone else ever attend couples counseling for something similar to my situation?

Im talking about the total cost of the restaurant and the fun activity (mini golf, movies, concert etc.)

Im posting this in the Polls and Surveys section because I know the dating section has alot of teenagers in it.

Over the years I have asked my husband for love and romance he won’t give me that at an intimate level because he is angry with me. He says that my daughter’s messy room is the problem and my not dealing with it is the reason for his anger. In fact, I do constantly encourage her to keep it neat and she is doing a pretty good job for a 15 year old. I talked to his x-wife and she said that he told her that in order to fix their relationship she could try by making his lunch for him everyday. She did for a year, but it didn’t matter. I told him I want to talk about the details of a separation, but he said that he wants to stay together to reduce our carbon footprint. I know he has been to a lawyer for a consultation. He is a "what’s me is mine" person, however, and I believe he does not want to have to split the marital assets that he is hiding from me. He says they are buried in the backyard. I would stay with him if there was intimacy between us, but I have little hope for that. I am going to let him know that. We are married 7 years and have children together. How much more time should I give this?

Can overtime be considered when calculating child support if the overtime has been available & worked for the part 3 or 4 years? No indication that the overtime is going to be cut out.

If a Grandparent has temporary custody of a Grandchild and the other Grandparent wants visitation rights or even custody of that child what does the non custodial Grandparent have to do?

I’m getting married March next year. I’m an Asian woman who’ll marry a american man. Our petition for Fiancee VISA is in process already. My fiance wants me to sign a prenup to protect his properties if worst case may happen. I really love him and I just want to be with him so signing a prenup is not a big deal for me. Now, I’m very scared for my future if worst thing may happen esp. that I’ll be in a foreign country. I’m scared that I’ll just be a stray person without nothing if he’ll leave me. How can I protect myself? Pls. help me. I really love my man. I don’t mind signing the prenup as long as I’m assured that I’ll be just fine whatever happens. I know he love me too. Pls. give me some advices.

I finally got my divorce from my husband who was deported to jamaica and my lawyer sent a copy of my divorce papers with my social security on it down to jamaica!!!

I called and asked him why would he do something so STUPID and he goes what will he (ex husband) do with your ss#?

*blank stare*

Can someone tell me what can I do to protect my Identity. I already have a fraud alert on my credit file but what can i do to protect other illegal activities such as getting documents in my name??

By the way anyone trying to get a divorce from someone who is in another country its very easy to do LIE and say you have a friend or relative going to that country your lawyer will give you papers that you will say your friend/relative will serve your UNWANTED spouse.

wait a month , call your lawyer and say that your friend/relative is back from their trip. The lawyer will then give the person some papers to have notarized stating that they served the UNWANTED spouse and then submit all documents to the court.

My divorce took 7 months that way and it was FREE through legal aide services.
OMG DUE PROCESS??? REAP WHAT I SOW HHAHAHAHA

Yeah he was due processing all over my @ss that’s why he is HISTORY NOW!! Sorry , I don’t sit around and take abuse!! I get to stepping and kicking jack@ssess to the curb!! You got to do what you got to do to gain FREEDOM!

Thanks Ed for your answer.
