I’m curious what everyone else’s thoughts are on this. I have been married now for 4 years while being with her for 10, and actually living together for 10. We have absolutely had our up/downs and have broken up completely 2-3 times. 1 case actually involved me moving 15 hours away for a job as she actually started applying for jobs in the same city without even asking or talking about it. Obviously I said oh well, and now here we are. My wife is a very manipulative person and somehow has sucked me into being a zombie for a husband. Over the past 3 years I have completely blocked out everything she says except for about my children. I do not want to kiss/hug/hold hands anymore because I have zero desire to do so. This has been the case as well for some time now. Her parents absolutely hate each other but have invested too much time/money to get out now. They have the worst possible marriage I have ever seen in my lifetime. Problem is, I now see that I am turning into her dad, and she is already her mom. I have talked about getting separated or divorced over the past week because I can’t do it anymore. I have been shhhd forever now and each time I talk to her about something I get the reply of "oh whatever", and she continues what she was doing or talking about. This can’t be right, correct? This can’t be right that I have no desire to kiss her, talk with her, or anything, correct? I guess that crap pit in my stomach knows it will be different without being around her because we’ve been together so long. We are going to see a councelor this week. She now knows how I feel and is trying to act different and talk, and try, but I think its too late. Too long of the same stuff has settled in….. I have gotten a little advice from family, but curious what you all think about it. There is no abuse or anything like that, just not happiness. We do have 2 kids which will be very difficult but I have told myself they’ll be fine, which they will. She doesn’t want them growing up thinking divorce is ok to do, but why make them grow up knowing their dad hates their mom, and there is zero affection/talking with each other….

My husband and I have so many friends and family members asking us for relationship and marriage advice, because our advice works, and is helping so many relationships, that we would like to be able to help as many people as we can and share the joy of healthy balanced relationships. However, my husband and I don’t have the money or the desire to get a degree in the field. We’ve looked into it and started, but simply aren’t interested in wasting the money or time on a degree, since we don’t agree with many of the theories of mainstream psychology anyway, but we’d still love to help people in this area. Is there any way to do this as a non-profit service, if you generally need a Counseling License and a degree?

Thanks for any help, God bless

Do you believe my acquaintance is dumb for trying to save her marriage? This is her 4th marriage, so she is genuinely doesn’t desire to feel like she has failed again. She has been married seven years

my husband and i would like to divorce but we are not at one anothers throats. neither of us wants to spend a dime more of what we could use for our children on our divorce. i’ve seen a lot of options for getting the paperwork and filing done but i am lost as to how to figure out support and division of debts fairly. i have been a stay at home mom for 11 years so our income difference is large but we have a very high debt to income ratio and if he pays me a lot of support, i know he will lose the house. i desperately don’t want that to happen because i want the children to be able to stay here. i have absolutely no desire to screw him – it makes no sense to make us both struggle when we should be pulling together for the kids college. we have no savings, no equity and high debt – i know it is technichally stupid not to ask for alimony but it will only screw us all in my opinion – is there a way to figure out if that is true or just a fear?
he has a very modest income – this is a very modest house – a downgrade would probably mean an apartment and i love this house as much as they do and it would hurt me to see it all lost. if we are all in the poor house on top of our emotional loss . . . i have a college degree but no work experience and i can’t get a very high paying job so i am very worried but we need someone or some resource to help us figure out how to do this so that we don’t screw up all our futures financially and even more emotionally than the divorce already will. any suggestions?
mediation seems expensive – are there resourses other than people? is mediation expensive? i know it is cheap compared to trial – but i mean we honestly will be putting this divorce on a credit card – we do not want to spend more money – we just want to make sure we have done it right. thank you

In Tantra and other spiritual practices we learn that someone can transmute sex energy and desire for intimacy to another form of activity like business success, sports achievements, arts etc. Is that doable? Can such a re-channeling be permanent?

I am a novice to astronomy, and I would like some advice on how to be a more experienced astronomer so I can enjoy it. First of all, I have the desire and intense curiosity to figure out the universe, so I suppose that helps a bit. But any other advice that you would like to give, or advice that you wish you’d have known when you were beginning? Thanks!

@Alex: I know anyone can give advice, but I’m asking in terms of a business, or in a bigger area than just family/friends…
I’m not giving counseling as a professional, but would like to, and am simply researching different ways of doing this, before I blow thousands of dollars and 6-8 years on a degree, when I’m already helping people who are close to me.

I feel like I’m dying. My relationship with my fiancee is on the rocks. We’ve been living together for over three years. We have a one year old daughter together. We don’t have much extra money right now and I really need someone to talk to.
We argue a lot. My fiancee has expressed the desire to move back home…which is far away…and take my child with her.

I want this relationship to work. Today I found nude pics she had sent a guy in her hometown and a racy chat between them. That’s how I found out she wanted to leave at all. She hadn’t told me.

I love to make so many affair in life. I mean love affairs. Nothing else but to fulfill my desire of love. I just need an intercourse partner to maintain my wild sex life. I know there are a lot of lonely house wives need a sex life partner. But i cant get such a first contact before i join a dating site. Where to find the Best but completely free dating site for short time intimacy only ? What website can you recommend ? I dont mind paying for membership.
