My husband and I are getting separated. I have no desire to file for a divorce at this point, but want a legally binding separation agreement. While I know divorce papers have to be filed in the circut court, do separation agreements have to be filed with the circut court, in order to be legally binding? How do I ensure that they are legally binding? I reside in Maryland. I have already seen a lawyer, and am trying to avoid the costly retention fees.

I am an average, single, straight, 31 year old guy. I have never had a girlfriend or even a first kiss. I have hung out with a few girls and those events may have qualified as dates. Anyway, I am not that interested in dating yet as I just feel like it’s too early in life. I was certainly not interested in dating as a teenager or during my twenties.

So when do most people first feel the desire to date? I would assume it’s around my age.

I want to do individual, couples and family therapy in my own, small home office eventually. I have a bachelor’s degee in psychology, but have no desire to pursue that any further. I hate statistics and testing. I want to get a master’s degree, but I can’t seem to get any real direction. People in psychology tell me to go that route, counseling people tell me to go the counseling route, and social work people swear that it’s easiest to become licensed with a social work degree. I am so confused. I know that after get my master’s, I have to work for a couple of years under supervision in order to become licensed. I just don’t know how to get started.

Natural dating site is rare now. In eally life most people only dates for fun to fulfill his/her own desire. I am rather disgusting to know in person that most members of "a dating site" work for money by becoming webcam nude artists. Where could i find completely free dating site but clean ? What website will become your best recommendation ?

Like being gay shouldn’t change a person’s desire to have sexual relations with only one person in their life, but on reflection it would seem gays are always rampant root rats and would never wait for their life long partner before committing to sex. Are there any gays that wait for Mr Right?

I was wanting some real life experiences to be posted. My longtime GF (7 years) and I need some sexual counseling (she has no desire anymore, the 1st 5 years were great, we have talked and talked and we decided on counseling) stories/results. I have talked to older men (we’re only 23) and they tell me to run while I can b/c desire doesn’t change, meaning we can go for counseling but it will never change the desire factor. I don’t want to get married and have kids and then get stuck with no sex for the rest of my life, does counseling work? I hope this doesn’t sound selfish, I love her and have been completely faithful even though we haven’t had sex in two years. I’m just trying to make a life decision. I would prefer female advice/experience, most older guys have told me to leave before marriage and kids, while I still have a chance. I wanted to hear the woman’s perspective. Thanks…
Yeah, we’ve also only been with each other.

I am just about to file for a divorce because my husband has left me for the OW…I am having the hardest time getting past the fact that I have to let go of this marriage (we have been married a little over five years and been together for over 10 years…he was my high school sweet heart)…we have a two year old daughter together and I don’t know how I am going to get passed this horrible feeling of hurt knowing that I am forever going to have to deal with him being in and out of my life….he has had an affair with this girl several times since I was pregnant and at least one other affair that I know of for sure and heard of others as well…I just hurt because I have never once went behind his back, would never even think of it for that matter…now we are split and I am having to do a quick sale on my house, he has left me with tons of collection bills that I had no idea about in my name (I was living seperate from him and going to school while he said he would pay all my bills until I finished school, but obviously didn’t) now I am starting to go to a divorce support group but still having a terribly hard time getting on with my life…I feel like I cant trust anyone and have already been offered dates but I have no desire at all and feel very odd because I feel like I would be cheating…its horrible…if anyone has advice on how they got past this or how they dealt with a similar situation I am more than happy to hear about it, I just feel like I am truely living a nightmare right now

If a person gets married with a prenuptual agreement that says, for instance, that they will get divorced only if they can prove adultry (or any other provision that does not involve division of assets) is that portion of the prenuptual agreement enforcable?
This is not a real situation, I’m hoping to learn if the legal world says that some parts of a contract are not valid because they are unreasonable. As another example, if a prenuptual agreement said that one party would be the others slave, (say the contract was signed without being read but is not the desire of the party that is required to be the slave) would the slave part be void? Would you have to have it stated so in court?
If a loan shark were silly enough to put their contracts in writing, would they be legal? Presumablly not since it’s a violation of the law.
Thanks for your response.

I’ve been married for almost 20 years, and our children are almost grown. I’ve been thinking alot about how life would be alone. I love my husband very much, and he is the best husband any woman could ask for, but I’m lacking desire—I don’t know if I’m in love with him. So is life good after being married so long, or even a better ending, what can I do to fall back in love with him. Please give me some good advice.

Assalamualikum my brothers and sisters
I have got a Marriage proposal and I am a little confused.
First things first -
The girl is not religious;
Neither is her Dad.
Her father used to deal in Loans, banks and Interests and that made him RICH
(He is the richest man in our locality)
However he has now Quit Interest Business and bought many hotels and stuff like that
I was not allowed to see the girl yet, but my parents say she is beautiful.

Prophet (S) said Virtue is most important in marriage.
And I am quite sure she is not very virtuous (As her father is not much virtuous). May be not Immodest but not even Virtuous
But my parents (esplly dad) are insisting (NOT FORCING – JUST SOME WHAT INSISTING) to marry her as they think this is a good match
1. Her father is rich and has only ONE DAUGHTER
2. Her father said I can take care of his business when my dad said to him I have to finish my engineering before Marriage
3. He is my dad’s old buddy and also one of the richest chap in the city
4. Girl is not bad (in looks)
___

Now I would have said NO (because ever since I was young, I craved for a pious girl to be my wife)

BUT THE DESIRE TO “GET MARRIED SOON” IS JUST CONFUSING ME.
I want to GET MARRIED SOON (To abstain from sins)
I do not desire WAITING …

This is really bothering me … Pious girls are very few and I am not getting one anytime soon (I don’t know why)

WHAT TO DOOOOOOOO
Should I just go with it and then try changing her after marriage?
Will that be possible?
Or will she be arrogant as she is the Only Child (I am also the only child of my parents)?
Should I wait more? I am 19. (We would surely marry later (after a year or two – But may just engage now)?
OR SHOULD I STILL WAIT FOR A pious girl?

Any advices I need real bad – I am also asking my Shiekhs but I also want you people’s advice.

Please forgive me if I was Lewd or “personal information exposing freak”
I asked this to you all because prophet (S) said
Whoever takes advice of Believers in his issues – He will feel confident in his tasks then.
(Sahih Hadith)

& Please: NO TROLLS or Mocking PLEASE
Ooh Istaqara I will be doing FOR SURE
also will make dua in Tahajjud

Just want your advices

And also sisters – I am sure 100% she is not religious
Not VERY IMMODEST ALSO
Just 80% Worldly
and 20% religious

My daddy said
Brother Hello Thank you so much for that Advice
That was short and simple
Thank you
But Mani is a Good sister
…
If she is not a believer then being kind to her may bring her close to Islam
And if she is a believer then we can not say anything.
I love you both Mani and hello May Allah reward you both and help you Always

Also the girl (First answerer) Thank you for answering – May Allah bless you
